(1) The dominant military formation of the Hellenistic world was the phalanx. (2) Soldiers would line up
shoulder to shoulder in large, tightly packed squares. (3) The first row of the phalanx would look like a wall of
bronze shields with long, pointed spears jutting out between and above the shields. (4) This was the ancient
equivalent of a tank, slow and armored, these formations where known to repel considerably larger
armles. (5) The famed Spartan warriors at Thermopylae repelled a debated one million Perslan soldiers for
days by employing this tactic. (6) For the second time since Marathon, the Persian troops
underestimated the resolve of the Greek soldiers. (7) This same phalanx technique would be employed by
Alexander the Great to conquer most of the known world. (8) However, the phalanx had a major disadvantage
In that an enemy needed only to outmaneuver the comparatively slower phalanx and attack from the side or
behind. (9) Troops in the phalanx were arranged so tightly that they would have difficulty turning around and
would be unable to use their spears or shields.

the correct answer is the following.

one of the groups i belong to is the boy scouts. this is a problem-solving group because it has tasks that we need to solve in order to other people in different activities such as the rescue of lost pets, or elder people in need.

the other group i belong to is kids pro environment, and is an information-sharing group that tries to create conscience about the risks and problems that generate pollution in our cities. we share information to other students and parents on the importance of keep our communities clean and our skies clear.  

the examples that saki used to represent satire through situational irony are options two (2) and five (5) inasmuch as the wolf thought that looking for a girl in the bushes could be as easy as hunting little pigs at the park, but it took him so much time to find the girl if it had not been not for a silly mistake. also, bertha would have survived to the wolf's hunt if she had not won those medals for goodness, which at the end they were what got her killed by making noise, so winning medals of goodness was not so good achievement, after all.

the answer is subjective. i personally agree with the first answer for this question.

if one isn't strictly talking about objects then the correct answer would be 'my eyes' since according to this riddle i am asleep and in order to answer/open the door i need to open my eyes first of all.

however, if one is specifically looking for an object, then the first thing i would open would be the door

hope this !

the third paragraph is the the soltion or ending of a story
