QUES: The abbot and monks, in proximity to the royal Palace of Westminster, the seat of government from the later 12th century, became a powerful force in the centuries after the Norman Conquest. The abbot often was employed on royal service and in due course took his place in the House of Lords as of right. Released from the burdens of spiritual leadership, which passed to the reformed Cluniac movement after the mid-10th century, and occupied with the administration of great landed properties, some of which lay far from Westminster, "the Benedictines achieved a remarkable degree of identification with the secular life of their times, and particularly with upper-class life", Barbara Harvey concludes, to the extent that her depiction of daily life provides a wider view of the concerns of the English gentry in the High and Late Middle Ages.[citation needed]

QUES: The major time divisions of classical music up to 1900 are the early music period, which includes Medieval (5001400) and Renaissance (14001600) eras, and the Common practice period, which includes the Baroque (16001750), Classical (17501830) and Romantic (18041910) eras. Since 1900, classical periods have been reckoned more by calendar century than by particular stylistic movements that have become fragmented and difficult to define. The 20th century calendar period (19012000) includes most of the early modern musical era (18901930), the entire high modern (mid 20th-century), and the first 25 years of the contemporary or postmodern musical era (1975current). The 21st century has so far been characterized by a continuation of the contemporary/postmodern musical era.

The years 1804-1910 marked what era?
What is the answer?
ANS: Romantic
QUES: Scientists have been studying the impact of climate change and water use. For example, each year more water is diverted from rivers for snowmaking in the ski resorts, the effect of which is yet unknown. Furthermore, the decrease of glaciated areas combined with a succession of winters with lower-than-expected precipitation may have a future impact on the rivers in the Alps as well as an effect on the water availability to the lowlands.
