The Greeks couldn’t resist adding their own original “explanations” to the definitions. For example, a Greek writer named Horapollo said correctly that the picture of a goose stood for the word “son.” But then he explained that this was because geese took special care of their young, which was completely inaccurate. He wrote that the image of a rabbit meant “open” because a rabbit's eyes never close – an equally false statement. —The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, James Cross Giblin Which details support the thesis that Giblin’s text presents information effectively? the description of how geese take care of their young the description of how rabbits eyes never close the description of how Horapollo explained hieroglyphs

The phrase that shows the author's feelings about Horapollo's ideas is "completely inaccurate". Even though the author points out some of the correct ideas of Horapollo, as the text continues he highligths the mistakes this writer falls into and how some of the statements he makes are wrong. In order to express that he believes Horapollo's ideas are not correct, the author uses phrases such as completely inaccurate and an equally false statement.

Answer from: Quest

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
