E. Writing
Al-Zarquali known as Arzachel in Latin Europe was born in
1028 CE in Andalusia, now Spain. He was an Arab
mathematician who excelled at the construction of precision
instruments for astronomical use. He constructed a flat astrolabe
and a water clock able to determine hours of the day and night
and that was even able to indicate lunar months.
He contributed to the Tables of Toledo, a compilation of
astronomical data.
Al-Zarquali is famous for his Book of Tables. This book
gives the days on which the Roman, lunar and Persian months
begin. Other tables can give the position of the planets at any time
while others can predict solar and
lunar eclipses.
Arzachel Crater on the moon was named after him. Al-
Zarquali died in 1087 CE.

A young couple is too poor to buy each other Christmas gifts. The man finally pawns his father’s watch to buy his wife a set of combs for her long beautiful hair. She, meantime, cuts her hair to sell to a wigmaker for money to buy her husband a watch-chain.
2. Explain where the irony lies:
The irony is twofold: both the chain watch and the set of combs are useless now for the goal for which each object was bought have been suppressed. Della’s hair has been cut and Jim’s watch has been pawned. Yet, the couple, having sacrificed their only valuable possessions have proved to each other the richness of their feelings.

2. Solution For Bags And Beads:
- Label the bags from 1 to 5.
- Take 1 bead out of Bag 1, and label it 1.
- Take 2 beads out of Bag 2, and label them both with a 2.
- Take 3 beads out of Bag 3, and label each with a 3.
- Continue this pattern with Bags 4 and 5.
- Put these 15 beads on the tray of the scale.
- If all 15 weighed 10 kilograms, the scale would register
150 kilograms.
- But since one or more of the beads weighs only 9
kilograms, the scale will register less than 150.
- Subtract the number on the scale from 150.
- Your answer will tell you the number of the bag with the
lighter beads. (If the scale registers 148, it’s bag number 2.
- If the scale registers 145, it’s bag number 5.)
