In Great Astronomers, Robert Stawell Ball documents the developments in astronomy from the ancient
nineteenth century. He
begins with a chapter on the life and works of Ptolemy.
Which sentence in this excerpt from Great Astronomers shows that Ptolemy's theory was flawed, but that he was still the undisputed authority
on astronomy for centuries?
The career of the famous man whose name stands at the head of this chapter is one of the most remarkable in the history of human learning.
There may have been other discoverers who have done more for science than ever Ptolemy accomplished, but there never has been any other
discoverer whose authority on the subject of the movements of the heavenly bodies has held sway over the minds of men for so long a period
as the fourteen centuries during which his opinions reigned supreme. The doctrines he laid down in his famous book, "The Almagest" prevailed
throughout those ages. No substantial addition was made in all that time to the undoubted truths which this work contained. No important
correction was made of the serious errors with which Ptolemy's theories were contaminated. The authority of Ptolemy as to all things in the
heavens, and as to a good many things on the earth (for the same illustrious man was also a diligent geographer), was invariably final.
Though every child may now know more of the actual truths of the celestial motions than ever Ptolemy knew. yet the fact that his work
exercised such an astonishing effect on the human intellect for some sixty generations, shows that it must have been an extraordinary
production. We must look into the career of this wonderful man to discover wherein lay the secret of that marvellous success which made him
the unchallenged instructor of the human race for such a protracted period.

Which three parts of this passage from chapter 6 of emily brontë's wuthering heights show that hindley earnshaw did not care about the well-being of catherine and heathcliff after the death of mr. earnshaw? they both promised fair to grow up as rude as savages; the young master being entirely negligent how they behaved, and what they did, so they kept clear of him. he would not even have seen after their going to church on sundays, only joseph and the curate reprimanded his carelessness when they absented themselves; and that reminded him to order heathcliff a flogging, and catherine a fast from dinner or supper. but it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day, and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at. the curate might set as many chapters as he for catherine to get by heart, and joseph might thrash heathcliff till his arm ached; they forgot everything the minute they were together again: at least the minute they had contrived some naughty plan of revenge; and many a time i’ve cried to myself to watch them growing more reckless daily, and i not daring to speak a syllable, for fear of losing the small power i still retained over the unfriended creatures. one sunday evening, it chanced that they were banished from the sitting-room, for making a noise, or a light offence of the kind; and when i went to call them to supper, i could discover them nowhere. we searched the house, above and below, and the yard and stables; they were invisible: and, at last, hindley in a passion told us to bolt the doors, and swore nobody should let them in that night. the household went to bed; and i, too, anxious to lie down, opened my lattice and put my head out to hearken, though it rained: determined to admit them in spite of the prohibition, should they return.
