Answer: minimal importance or significance; king by technical title only
Explanation:
This sentence, taken out of context as it appears here, may be just an example sentence by itself used only for the purpose of word assessment. However, it may help to better explain this answer with a bit of historical background, since there actually was a kingdom of Benin in West Africa (around Nigeria) a long time ago, existing in about the 1300's to the late 1800's. It’s also important to supply this part of the answer in case this question may be from a larger passage you were reading about this topic that accompanied where you originally came across this question.
In Benin’s system of government, the royalty included a hierarchy of officials called chiefs and elders. They were the main ones who helped the king run his kingdom. The chiefs were an assembly of advisors for each district. The elders were selected from the village and were usually men who already lived in those villages. These were the officials who dealt most directly with the village people who were the king’s subjects. They delivered the people proposals and other orders from the higher leadership/the king. They also enforced those orders at the lowest levels of the common people, since they interacted among them the most.
So, with this background information now in mind, let’s take a closer look at the word nominal. The word itself usually has two main meanings. The one we hear used most often today is in measurement terms. For example, businesses might offer a service for a “nominal” fee. In terms of quantity, nominal means very low, so small that its value may be almost insignificant. The other meaning of nominal: by title only. For example, we can say that someone is in a named position only technically speaking, because they are named to be in that formal or official position as a holder of it just by title. The word nominal itself actually comes from “name” in the Latin origin nominalis/nomen.
Either one of these meanings of nominal could apply here in this case, given the context of the sentence. This is because the statement being made is an opinion, which could be pointing out a viewpoint that the government was a system in which the king was merely a figurehead by name or title only. It could also be saying that the king was nominal in importance, due to the fact that his officials were seen here as the only active ones carrying out the real, actual direct duties dealing with the villagers. So, perhaps the voice making the statement is among the villagers looking at the king’s position in that manner, deeming him less significant than his officials who seem more powerful. The fact that the king’s officials dealt with the people at more of a face-to-face level could have made them more intimidating or powerful to the village people.

Which statement is an example of logos that might be used in an argument
The correct answer is option B ("Denver gets an average of 57 inches of snow every year").
We refer to "logos" as a literary or argumentative device employed to persuade someone of a certain statement using logical reasoning. In the present case, the only example that utilizes an appeal to logos, would be option B, since it's stating a clear logical fact based on statistics. This type of data could very easily be used in an argument to strongly support a specific stance.

“I’m Nobody! Who are you?” By Emily Dickinson
I’m Nobody! Who are you? Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us! Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog – To tell one’s name – the livelong June – To an admiring Bog!
The use of the phrase admiring Bog reveals the poet thinks that being well known is
unpleasant because everyone pays attention to what you do
challenging because it can be hard to know everyone well

the parents spent at least a few minutes a day reviewing the ABC’s with their daughter. what figurative language is this?
Onomatopoeia is the answer:)Goodluck!
Answer:
The correct answer is synecdoche.
Explanation:
Onomatopoeia is not the answer. Onomatopoeia refers to words that represent a sound by imitating it, such as bang, crash, click, buzz etc.
Synecdoche is a type of figurative language that uses a part of a whole to represent the whole. In the sentence we are analyzing here, the speaker mentions the ABC's. As we know, the ABC's refers to the alphabet. A, B, and C are the first three letters of the alphabet, which is constituted of 26 letters total. Therefore, when we say "ABC's", we are using a part - the first three letters - to refer to the whole - the complete alphabet with 26 letters. What we have is synecdoche.
Which word has a base word that changed its spelling when the suffix was added?

Sonnet 29, by William Shakespeare
When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least.
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

5 paragraphs 5 or more sentences each paragraph Explain how evolution can be considered a fact a theory and a hypothesis
Please help me I really need it Thank you .
Many scientists believe in Evolution as the common answer to the origin of life. A huge percentage of scientists claim that Evolution is a fact. However, fail to put in doubt this widespread theory and fail to achieve to find proff about the credibility of this theory. How can one know that evolution is not a fact but instead a mere theory or even a myth? The many theories evolution has itself is very complex and oftentimes incomprehensible; it does not bring peace and sastisfactory answers to an individual looking for a purpose in life but instead leaves the person with doubt and many questions which seem to have no answer. The theory of evolution is an idea which can easily be debunked by any person with wits who knows that such a theory has many controversies and that in the end can lead to no final conclusions.
Evolution is no scientific fact but instead a philosophy. However, people believe it’s a fact because of fossil remains that seem similar to modern animals. For example: In the book (Science: Preparation for the Test) states: “Scientists compare animals living today with the fossilized remains of animals that no longer exist. By doing so, they can obtain [supporting ideas] of common ancestry.” And an example of ancestry observed by scientists is found on in the same book mentioned, where it says: “Scientists have found fossilized remains of a series of animals that are relatives of today’s whales...Pakicetus... the skull represents [similarity] between the ear of a land animal and an aquatic animal”. Now, such claims are pointless and overbearing. If we look at both creatures the pakicetus has no registered fossils of evolutionary signs which can give any proven fact of its evolutionary trip from land to the sea. The book entitled: “Life... How did it come to be” has logical insight to the imperfections found in the theory of Evolution. The book mentioned states: “Why are registered fossils so important in Evolution? Gene expert G.L Stebbins said: “No biologist has seen in reality the origin of evolution. None of the great organisms has made an evolutionary change.” Today, we see no organisms who evolve through evolution.” Even Charles Darwin admitted: “The distinctions characterized in specific forms of life and the fact that they are not connected between themselves... is very obvious “. Using common logic Evolution cannot be a direct fact. But, instead it must remain only as a mere theory and in the future a possible myth.
Almost all scientists which claim to follow Darwin’s evolutionary theories have failed to provide proff of its existence and left results to experiments inconclusive. The Magazine entitled: “The origin of life” states: “Biology professor Alexandre Meinesz said in 2008 that during the past 50 years “No proff has sustained the hypothesis of a spontaneous arrival of life on Earth by means of a molecular soup and no scientific knowledge pointed towards this direction”. There is a basic law in science and that is that life cannot emerge on its own, life always comes from a pre-existing life source. However, Evolution claims that life has come from material that was unresponsive and non-existent. How can such a thing even be possible if the basic law of science is that life produces life? The magazine “The origin of life” also states: “Life comes from life. Believing that a simple live cell came to be by a casualty using [un-living] material is an act of faith”.
Evolution can be considered a hypothesis and a theory but in no way can it be considered a straight up fact, no matter how logical or convincing most scientists make it seem. It is simply not a proven fact. Nature, animals, the performance of the human body, etc is absolutely perfect. That is why that something that seems perfect in every sense possible cannot be a work of casualties. The work “Evolution or Creation” states: “Evolution is an act of faith”. Just like religion is an act of faith believing that raw materials can turn to living things is also an act of faith. Unless Evolution had photographic and physical proff of its existence there is no possible way that it can be a teachable fact.
Whenever we want to practice or belief a certain idea, thought, etc. We must first consider who founded the belief or idea and why they founded it. We must later confirm for ourselves if it’s the truth and if not discard of it immediately. Charles Darwin is considered the first to have hypothesized a theory which contradicted all the religious beliefs of there ever being a Creator. Such a critical hypothesis came to him after the death of his beloved daughter. Looking for some religious consolation Darwin was left upset and frustrated by the religious clergy of his time who affirmed that God needed another angel in heaven; by saying this they directly affirmed that God was the direct cause of his child’s death...

What is George Orwell’s purpose in writing ?
Orwell's purpose in writing this essay is to inform the “bad habits” of writing in politics, because of the lack of thinking their words through, and how Political writers declined the value of the English language to mislead people. This is about "Politics and the English Language" by the way
This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Read the excerpt from "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell.
Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness.
What is George Orwell's purpose in writing?
A. to inform readers of political events happening in his day
B. to inform readers of strong language used in political writing
C. to persuade readers that vague language is often used to soften harsh reality
D. to persuade readers that political speech should be softer and less specific
Answer: C. to persuade readers that vague language is often used to soften harsh reality
Explanation:
In his 1946 essay, Orwell criticizes the corruption of political language, which he claims was purposefully vague because it was meant to cover the ugly truth instead of revealing it.
Orwell understood that the use of vagueness and abstract ideas was a political tool to hide awful realities. That´s why he defended independent thinking and writing as required for truthful political development.

D.) Instinct is an important part of survival
The dog represents pure instinct, a trait necessary for survival in the extremely cold Yukon at this time of year. ("But the dog knew; all its ancestry knew, and it had inherited the knowledge. ")
The man never uses instinct, which would inform him without thinking that certain actions are dangerous while others are absolutely necessary for survival.

Which inference can you draw from, "Did Franklin Really Collect Electric Fire from the Sky?¨
Final answer:
The inference from 'Did Franklin Really Collect Electric Fire from the Sky?' pertains to Benjamin Franklin's experiment demonstrating the connection between lightning and static electricity, hinting at how he saw unity in the laws of nature through electricity.
Explanation:
From the statement, "Did Franklin Really Collect Electric Fire from the Sky?" one can infer that it references Benjamin Franklin's famous experiment where he flew a kite during a thunderstorm to demonstrate the connection between lightning and static electricity. Benjamin Franklin was not only an influential politician and scientist but also played a pivotal role in the understanding of electricity. His experiment involved drawing sparks from a key tied to the kite string, which were similar to the sparks from static electricity one might experience when touching a metal doorknob after walking across a wool carpet. Franklin's findings linked these everyday occurrences to the grand scale of electrical storms, showcasing the unity of natural laws.
Sharks have a keen sense of hearing and can smell blood for from a 2000 yards away. Sharks also have a special system of channels in their skin that helps them feel the vibrations of a splashing swimmer. We know that in Clearwater, sharks can see dinner from about 50 feet away. If you ever spot a shark, always swim away smoothly! What is the main idea? A. How well sharks hear. B. Why sharks have poor vision. C. How sharks sense food. D. When to swim away smoothly.
C. How sharks sense food.
In other words, everything in the passage is showing their survival abilities for seeking prey.
Sharks have highly specialized senses, including smell, vibration detection through the lateral line, and electroreception via ampullae of Lorenzini, which aid them in hunting prey.
The main idea of the statement is that sharks have evolved highly specialized senses to locate and hunt their prey. Sharks possess a keen sense of smell which allows them to smell blood from far away, as well as a system of channels in their skin, known as the lateral line, to detect the vibrations of a swimmer. Additionally, sharks have electroreceptors called ampullae of Lorenzini that enable them to sense electromagnetic fields emitted by living creatures. While sharks can only see clearly up to about 50 feet, their other senses more than compensate for this when hunting. When spotting a shark, it is recommended to swim away smoothly to avoid provoking it.
