Some questions from the same exam
- According to novels and movies ....... King Arthur led Britain against Saxon invaders. Modern scholars believe*^*Geoffry of Monmouth was so frustrated by the absence of a historical history of his people, he took a few*^*legends and recreated them into coherent, but imaginative story.
- Present day historians disputed his historical existence, but instead believe his background was ....... from*^*folklore enhanced by a skillful mix of tales inherited by each generation.
- Some stories were invented using the 12th century collection "History of the Kings of Britain" written by*^*Geoffrey of Monmouth as ....... but strangely, early genealogies of Welsh royal families listed no person of*^*royal or noble birth named "Arthur."
- Welsh poetry ....... Arthur as a great man capable of defending Britain from human and supernatural enemies.
- Poets and authors in later years ....... the stories and added more characters, such as Guinevere, Merlin and*^*Lancelot.
- Historians have declared there was no factual basis for a ruler named Arthur in Welsh royal families. They*^*suggest the name may have come from a ......., Arcturus.
- Arcturus was a Celtic hero who cleared the land of giants. Still other researchers wonder if the name could*^*have been ....... from the Roman name, Artoius.
- One of the great legends about Author was when he had a wooden round table built for meeting with his*^*knights. The idea was ....... when his men argued about the seating rights, when the former table used was*^*rectangular. The further away from the king a man sat, the less important he was considered.
- In the ninth century, the Welsh writer Nennius described Arthur as a ....... leader uniting the Britons against the*^*invading Saxons.
- Throughout the centuries, other authors have ....... the legend of King Author. Many writers found inspiration in*^*reading about the British king who may have never lived, but whose stories will never die.*^*

Workshop 1: 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Workshop 2: 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.Many businesses use 3-D printers to create small customized products to sell on the Internet. 3-D printing also has applications for dentistry, automotive design, architecture, and more. Imagine what you could do! The Warner City Library is now offering you the chance to learn about this amazing technology!
Our $30 workshop includes:
- A free demonstration of the 3-D printer
- A short video on innovations in 3-D technology

Subject: 3-D PrinterWorkshopsDear Ms. Andrews,
I am the president of the Warner Art Community and a sculptor by profession. I recently read your flyer about the 3-D printer workshops. Our group is interested in taking advantage of this opportunity However, we'd like the focus to be on art rather than general 3-D printing. So, we hope that we can develop a custom workshop.
Our members have some specific interests surrounding how we can use 3-D printing in art. We would like to follow the curriculum you offer but would prefer to discuss more specific applications for our work on our own. I can lead those discussions. We may also want to explore making items of our own design in addition to the items you offer. Could we meet to discuss this further? Naturally, our group will pay any additional fees.
Please let me know when you might be available.
Sincerely,
SamJackson Question 191. What is the flyer mainly about?
