...1. Geronticide 2. Liberticide 3. Ecocide 4. Genocide Our ecology is our life. It has been proved that we can exist on our planet without excess pollution, and unless we make efforts now some features may not be recoverable. Ever. It is estimated that of all the species that have inhabited Earth, approximately 98% are now extinct. The primary method of extinction for the dinosaurs and other life forms is thought to be a meteorite that slammed into the area that is now northern Mexico about 65 million years ago. Most other extinct species were either hunted to death or were unable to adapt to changing climate and/or geographical mutations. Some simply lost their habitats. Genocide is the killing of an ethnic group. Liberticide is the destruction of freedom. Geronticide is the custom of allowing the aged to die when they are no longer able to care for or provide for themselves. This is not killing per se, but is a custom practiced by many Inuit tribes, as the elderly will go outside and "sleep in the snow".

...1. Percy Purple 2. Thomas Gray 3. William Green 4. George Mellow-Yellow Thomas Gray was born in 1716 and died in 1771. Not only a well known writer, he was also a professor at the Cambridge University. As a child he was rather delicate, so spent the greater part of his spare time reading all the great classics. As a young man, he went to university to study law, but instead concentrated on reading great literature written through the ages, and the somewhat lighter literature of his time - well, comparatively speaking at any rate. He was also very fond of music and playing the harpsichord. In his twenties he began writing poetry, and also commenced a much deeper study of the great literary works. This earned him the reputation as one of the most learned men of his time and a predominant poet of the 18th century. His most famous poem is "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard". Just to give you a glimpse of the more human side of this writer, though, Gray was terrified of being burned to death in a fire, so he always kept a steel bar installed on a part of his bedroom window where he lived. This meant that, in case of a fire, he could tie his sheets to the bar, and climb down to safety. The image of a sophisticated university professor slithering down a set of sheets tends to make my lips twitch a bit.

[Answer] 5. Following the lead of Kiev, the people of Novgorod began adopting what religion in the late 10th century?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "5. Following the lead of Kiev, the people of Novgorod began adopting what religion in the late 10th century?"



...1. Christianity (Orthodox) 2. Islam 3. Christianity (Catholic) 4. Judaism According to another legend, Prince (now Saint) Vladimir of Kiev sent emissaries to meet with representatives of all four. His envoys were so overwhelmed by the beautiful Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Constantinople that they made their choice on the spot. Practical considerations may also have played a role: the Byzantine Empire was a vitally important trading partner and Orthodox monks had already developed the Cyrillic alphabet to help spread their faith among the Slavic peoples in the Balkan peninsula. Today Novgorod and the surrounding region are filled with old churches, some of which were built less than 100 years after the arrival of Christianity. Up until the 10th century most people in Russia adhered to a Slavonic version of paganism, some elements of which - like the Maslenitsa spring festival - have carried on into modern times.
