Why does the author of "nikola tesla, inventor" include details about tesla preferring to use 18 napkins with each meal, tesla's claim that he would be able to communicate with the "residents of mars" if they knew how to receive his signals, and about tesla shorting out the power system of colorado springs by sending lightning bolts 135 feet into the air?
a.
to show that tesla's ideas were "rarely useful" in the real world
b.
to highlight the differences between tesla and the "arrogant and impatient" thomas edison
c.
to suggest that tesla was "untrustworthy and foolhardy" when he was quite young
d.
to highlight some aspects of tesla's "peculiar personality"

africa, the second-largest continent, is bounded by the mediterranean sea, the red sea, the indian ocean, and the atlantic ocean. it is divided in half almost equally by the equator. the continent includes the islands of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.

africa’s physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately.

the origin of the name “africa” is greatly disputed by scholars. most believe it stems from words used by the phoenicians, greeks, and romans. important words include the egyptian word afru-ika, meaning “motherland”; the greek word aphrike, meaning “without cold”; and the latin word aprica, meaning “sunny.”

today, africa is home to more countries than any other continent in the world. these countries are: morocco, western sahara (morocco), algeria, tunisia, libya, egypt, sudan, chad, niger, mali, mauritania, senegal, the gambia, guinea-bissau, guinea, sierra leone, liberia, côte d’ivoire, ghana, burkina faso, togo, benin, nigeria, cameroon, central africa republic, equatorial guinea, gabon, congo, democratic republic of the congo, angola, namibia, botswana, south africa, lesotho, swaziland, mozambique, zimbabwe, zambia, malawi, tanzania, rwanda, burundi, uganda, kenya, somalia, ethiopia, djibouti, eritrea and the island countries of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.
