Answer 1

Toothpaste is to tube as milk is to _____________________.

Answers

Answer:

The most logical answer is carton.

Explanation:

In this question, we are working with analogies. An analogy establishes a relationship between two different things. The purpose is to compare those things by finding something that connects them, despite the differences. In this case, we have the relationship between content and container. Toothpaste is the content we find inside the tube. Tube is, thus, the container for the toothpaste. We can safely assume that, following that analogy, milk is the content. The most common container nowadays for milk is a carton. Therefore, toothpaste is to tube as milk is to carton.
Umm container? Or a bottle? Or packet?

Which would be considered common knowledge?a.the cost of the space program
b.the theories of space scientists
c.the lyrics to a song
d.the names of planets

Answers

The correct answer is D.The names of the planets

Explanation:

The term "common knowledge" refers to basic knowledge or information everyone or almost everyone in a society should know, which is usually related to different  subjects and can be universal such as knowing the names of the continents or the name of the planets or specific to a society for example in the U.S. it is considered the number of states is of common knowledge. Additionally, this type of knowledge is broadly accepted by the members of a society or universally accepted and derives from facts or evidence.

Therefore, the statement that would be considered common knowledge is "The names of the planets", because this is basic knowledge and also it is widely accepted and known by almost everyone around the world, which are the main features of common knowledge.
I would think D. because everyone knows about the planets... we are taught about in school.

True or False Feudalism originated after Charlemagne's death. True False

Answers

This is technically false, because feudalism existed in various regions before the existence of Charlemagne. In general, feudalism existed after an empire crumbled.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Although feudalism first gained focus during the Carolingian Dynasty (Charlemagne was part of it), its roots date back to the 5th Century, after the Fall of Rome, a time of chaos and violence when tribes began fighting for power. The leaders and the most wealthy people started to develop a manorial system in which workers agreed to work and live in a landowner's large estates, and, in exchange, that landowner gave them protection.

What kind of relationship does this pairing express? difference:opposite

Answers

Opposite refers to things of the same kind but that are completely "different" in a particular way.

A diffference refers to an element or factor that separates or distinguishes contrasting situations.

We can say that the amount of differences make sometimes things opposites. A maximum amount of differences of things in a specific area create an opposite, it is important to say that there are not so many differences that the words aren'r related at all. For example full and empty, this words describe the amount of things in a certain place, they refer to both ends, something at its maximum capacity or without anything, not giving place to something between those.
They both represent the difference. For Example the opposite of safe is danger, and the difference of safe is danger.
