Both petroleum and coal are made up of complex carbon-based molecules, and both originated with living creatures of some kind. Both are vital sources of energy for the modern world and both were formed by geologic processes over millions of years. However, petroleum was mainly formed from the remains of ocean-dwelling microorganisms. Coal, on the other hand, originated from decayed vegetation in ancient swamps and bogs. In any case, it took millions of years for both coal and oil to be produced. This is the case because it took that much time for overlying sediments to produce the unimaginable heat and pressure that would one day allow us to harvest these energy resources.7.

Uncomfortable was the beauty queen’s ride atop the float. What is the subject?

Answers

The simple subject is"ride".
 
The complete subject is the beautyqueen’s ride atop the float. Just because the word "uncomfortable"begins the sentences, it doesn't readily make it the subject.

This iscalled inversion. It simply means putting a verb before its subject.However, it doesn’t affect the innate function of each word. There are around18 types of subject-verb inversion. The sentence above is an example of introadjective inversion since the beginning word is an adjective that describes thesubject.

Answer:

The work based on Leo Tolstoy's time serving in the Crimean War and set in the city where he and his military unit were based is Sevastopol Sketches.

Tolstoy acted as a second artillery lieutenant during the war, and from that experience described the war from the perspective of the combatants, detailing his reactions to extreme situations.

Taylor cuts 1/5 sheet of construction paper for an arts and crafts project. Enter 1/5 as an equivalent fraction with the denominators shown. The equivalent fractions are 1/5 = ?/15 = ?/20 = ?/25 = ?/45

Answers

Answer:

The equivalent of ¹/₅ based on the given denominators are ³/₁₅, ⁴/₂₀, ⁵/₂₅, ⁹/₄₅

Explanation:

Given fraction = ¹/₅

The equivalent fraction of ¹/₅ based on the given denominator is calculated as follows;

To obtain the equivalent fraction, factor the denominator by 5 and multiply the numerator and denominator with the result.

(?)/(15) = (1 * 3)/(5* 3) = (3)/(15)

(?)/(20) = (1 * 4)/(5* 4) = (4)/(20)

(?)/(25) = (1 * 5)/(5* 5) = (5)/(25)

(?)/(45) = (1 * 9)/(5* 9) = (9)/(45)

1 Fellow countrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, noprediction in regard to it is ventured. 2 On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it—all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came. 3 One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. 4 Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered—that of neither has been answered fully. 5 The Almighty has his own purposes. ‘Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.’ If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both North and South this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to him? Fondly do we hope—fervently do we pray—that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, ‘The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.’ 6 With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. Fondly do we hope—fervently do we pray—that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.
