question 4 options:

cells contain genetic information that is passed to the next generation of cells.

cells are formed by spontaneous generation.

all living things are made of cells.

cells are the basic unit of life.

The answer to your question is: Cells are formed by spontaneous generation.

Explanation:

Cells contain genetic information that is passed to the next generation of cells.  This statement is part of the cell theory

Cells are formed by spontaneous generation.  Spontaneous generation was a theory about how organisms reproduce during middle ages, but it was discarted by Lazzaro Spallanzani and others scientifics.

All living things are made of cells.  This statement is part of the cell theory, it was established after some research.

Cells are the basic unit of life. This statement is part of the cell theory. The scientifics that proposed this theory were Theodor Schwann, Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Rudolf Virchow.

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
