Read this excerpt from a room of one's own by virginia woolf: meanwhile [shakespeare's] extraordinary gifted sister, let us suppose, remained at home. she was as adventurous, as imaginative, as agog to school. she had no chance of learning grammar and logic, let alone of reading horace and virgil. she picked up a book now and then, one of her brother's perhaps, and read a few pages. but then her parents came in and told her to mend the stockings or mind the stew and not moon about with books and papers. which statement best conveys how woolf achieves her purpose in this excerpt? a) she uses the phrase "now and then" to show that many women were uncertain of their own talents. b)she uses the phrase "extraordinarily gifted" to show that talent ran in shakespeare's family c)she tells a story to illustrate how women's talent has been historically suppressed. d)she tells a story to show how many grat works have gone unnoticed due to sexism

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were a wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
