Answer:
Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451. Little is known of his early life, but he worked as a seaman and then a sailing entrepreneur. He became obsessed with the possibility of pioneering a western sea route to Cathay (China), India, and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia. At the time, Europeans knew no direct sea route to southern Asia, and the route via Egypt and the Red Sea was closed to Europeans by the Ottoman Empire, as were many land routes. Contrary to popular legend, educated Europeans of Columbus’ day did believe that the world was round, as argued by St. Isidore in the seventh century. However, Columbus, and most others, underestimated the world’s size, calculating that East Asia must lie approximately where North America sits on the globe (they did not yet know that the Pacific Ocean existed).

Why is Alexander Hamilton the man who invented America? What did he do to receive that title? In your answer, discuss what he did, said, and/or believed that had inpact on the new nation.
Answer:1.Hamilton's world teemed with active, opinionated men and women. Some were local celebrities in his small but bustling adopted home of New York City; some were national figures; and a few were world famous. Hamilton worked, argued, and fought with them; he loved, admired and hated them. Some crossed his path briefly. Others were fixed points in his life. Still others changed their relationships with him as politics or passion moved them. The portraits in this exhibition show the important people in his life, and in his psyche.2Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) is with us every day, in our wallets, on the $10 bill. But he is with us in another sense, for more than any other Founder, he foresaw the America we live in now. He shaped the financial, political, and legal systems of the young United States. His ideas on racial equality and economic diversity were so far ahead of their time that it took America decades to catch up with them. There is no inevitability in history; ideals alone -- even the ideals of the Founding Fathers -- do not guarantee success. Hamilton made the early republic work, and set the agenda for its future. We live in the world he made; here is what he did, and how he did it.

How old was hummurabi between 1811bce- 1750 bce
Answer: Hammurabi (1810 - 1750)
Explanation:
Hammurabi was born in the city-state of Babylon. Not much is known about his youth, but it is known that he grew up as a prince at court. At the age of eighteen, he came to power (1792) after a serious illness and his father's death. He was the sixth king of the First Babylonian dynasty and ruled until he died in 1750. During his 43-year reign, he did much for Babylon. His state reached the peak of political, cultural, and economic power in that period. His influence was extended to almost the entire territory of present-day Iraq and eastern Syria. To control the vast area in which he had power, he compiled a code known as the Hammurabi Code. This act is considered one of the oldest written codes in history.
what does ""connotations of privilege and sophistication"" mean?
Answer:
Once we start using the word “privilege” where what we really mean is “wealth,” we start applying this term to those who came by their wealth without special privilege-the Bill Gateses of the world, sure, but also the more-common successful businessmen or professionals who are earning a few million dollars a year down to a few hundred thousand dollars a year and who don’t show up on any “richest people” lists. The vast majority of people who get rich in even a semifree economy such as ours do so by producing goods and services that others value. But because the word “privilege” carries a negative connotation, when we call someone “privileged,” we are communicating, even if unintentionally, that this person came by his money dishonestly. And if you think that this is not a major issue, consider what President Obama’s first budget book, an official U.S. government publication, said about the highest-income people in the United States: “While middle-class families have been playing by the rules, living up to their responsibilities as neighbors and citizens, those at the commanding heights of our economy have not.”
Explanation:
Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone.
Before the Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799, no one knew how to read Egyptian hieroglyphic writing. Its meaning had been lost for almost 1400 years. But countless visitors to Egypt over the centuries had tried to decipher the mysterious symbols. This is the story of their attempts, and of how the Rosetta Stone finally enabled scholars to unlock the Egyptian past.
The story begins in the seventh century A.D., when Greek scholars visiting Egypt first called the symbols "hieroglyphs." They gave them that name, which means "sacred carvings" in Greek, because they found so many of them on the walls of Egyptian tombs and temples.
Which phrase from this excerpt best supports the author’s view that the people who deciphered the Egyptian writing system played an important role in history?
A no one knew how to read Egyptian hieroglyphic writing
B countless visitors to Egypt over the centuries had tried
C The story begins in the seventh century A.D.
D finally enabled scholars to unlock the Egyptian past
Answer:
Correct answer is D finally enabled scholars to unlock the Egyptian past.
Explanation:
Option D is the correct one, because it focuses on the importance of deciphering the hieroglyphs for the development of historical science. Scholars were finally able to discuss about history of Ancient Egypt.
Option A is not correct as people were finally able to read them after 1799.
Option B is not correct as this is not the central idea of the text.
Option C is not correct as the story starts a couple of millennium ago, not in 700 AD.

what is a time zone and how did they divide the earth?
Answer:
As Earth rotates on its axis, it moves about 15 degrees every 60 minutes. After 24 hours, it has completed a full rotation of 360 degrees. The scientists used this information to divide the planet into 24 sections or time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide. Earth is divided into twenty-four time zones of approximately equal width. The time in each successive time zone is one hour different from the times in neighboring time zones. To establish time zones, Earth's rotation rate of 360 degrees of longitude per day was divided by 24 hours.
