A friend asked me to answer this question: Which buildings are equidistant from a north-south axis that runs across the canyon?, using the article: Chaco Canyon lies at the geographic center of the San Juan Basin. It is located in northwestern New Mexico 60 miles (97 km) north of Interstate 40 and 130 miles (210 km) from Gallup, the nearest city. The continental divide is 20 miles (32 km) east. Chaco Canyon was created by the Chaco River, which cut several hundred feet into Chacra Mesa. The elevation of the sandstone canyon and the surrounding high-desert terrain is approximately 6,000 feet (1,800 m). Though most of the Chacoan sites are located at the bottom of the canyon, the group also includes some ruins not in the canyon proper, extending 35 miles (56 km) from Kin Ya'a in the south to Pueblo Alto in the north, and 20 miles (32 km) from Pueblo Pintado to the northeast and Penasco Blanco in the southwest. In terms of water drainage and cultural affinity, the area is part of the San Juan Basin, which includes Mesa Verde in Colorado and Kayenta, Arizona.Chetro Ketl lies 0.4 miles (0.64 km) east of Pueblo Bonito, in an area that archeologists call downtown Chaco. Scholars theorize that the area may be an ancestral sacred zone demarcated by a low masonry wall that encloses Chetro Ketl, Pueblo Bonito, and Pueblo del Arroyo. Chetro Ketl's position is symmetrical to Pueblo Bonito; the buildings are equidistant from a north-south axis that runs across the canyon. Anna Sofaer proposed that many of the great houses in Chaco Canyon were constructed to emphasize astronomical alignments; during the minor lunar standstill, the full moon rises along Chetro Ketl's back wall.Chetro Ketl is located opposite a large opening in the canyon known as South Gap, which helped maximize the building's exposure to the sun while increasing visibility and access to the south. Its rear wall runs parallel to the canyon, and at less than 100 feet (30 m) from the cliffs its proximity allowed inhabitants to benefit from passive solar energy emanating from the rocks. Chetro Ketl is not perfectly aligned to the cardinal directions, but its nominal southerly orientation further enhanced..., what would be the answer ?

Answer: Pueblo Bonito
Q: A friend asked me to answer this question: What is the name of the person who wrote to his brother stating, "the whole company almost tore me to pieces with rapture"?, using the article: Tchaikovsky played the finale of his Second Symphony, subtitled the Little Russian, at a gathering at Rimsky-Korsakov's house in Saint Petersburg on January 7, 1873, before the official premiere of the entire work. To his brother Modest, he wrote, "[T]he whole company almost tore me to pieces with raptureand Madame Rimskaya-Korsakova begged me in tears to let her arrange it for piano duet". Rimskaya-Korsakova was a noted pianist, composer and arranger in her own right, transcribing works by other members of the kuchka as well as those of her husband and Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet. Borodin was present and may have approved of the work himself. Also present was Vladimir Stasov. Impressed by what he had heard, Stasov asked Tchaikovsky what he would consider writing next, and would soon influence the composer in writing the symphonic poem The Tempest.What endeared the Little Russian to the kuchka was not simply that Tchaikovsky had used Ukrainian folk songs as melodic material. It was how, especially in the outer movements, he allowed the unique characteristics of Russian folk song to dictate symphonic form. This was a goal toward which the kuchka strived, both collectively and individually. Tchaikovsky, with his Conservatory grounding, could sustain such development longer and more cohesively than his colleagues in the kuchka. (Though the comparison may seem unfair, Tchaikovsky authority David Brown has pointed out that, because of their similar time-frames, the finale of the Little Russian shows what Mussorgsky could have done with "The Great Gate of Kiev" from Pictures at an Exhibition had he possessed academic training comparable to that of Tchaikovsky.), what would be the answer ?
A: Tchaikovsky
A friend asked me to answer this question: Who must get a letter to enter the Heavenly Express?, using the article: Tom is sleeping near the fireplace, and Jerry carefully sneaks past him. He goes up onto the dinner table and tries to reach for the food, but Tom attempts to slice him with a knife and he retreats, running up the staircase. Tom pulls the carpet off the staircase to catch Jerry, but also pulls down a large upright piano. While Jerry gets out of the piano's path, the piano crushes Tom to death. Tom's spirit ascends to the "Heavenly Express", a steam train that sends dead cats to Heaven. Several cats are waiting to enter and the gatekeeper goes though their lives. The cats include Butch, who has lost a fight with a bulldog. Frankie, who was struck with a flat iron while singing on a backyard fence. Aloysius, who was run over and flattened by a steamroller. Even Fluff, Muff and Puff, a trio of kittens who were drowned after being thrown into a river. The gatekeeper allows them all through, as their deaths were untimely. However, he catches Tom trying to sneak past him to board the train and tells him to stand in line. The gatekeeper looks through his personal records and is disappointed by what he sees in it. Having learned that the main cause of Tom's death has been attributed to him persecuting "an innocent little mouse" all of his life and not from an accidental crushing of the piano, the gatekeeper refuses has entry to him for that action alone. He apologizes for this inconvenience, but the gatekeeper gives him a chance for a reprieve; should Tom have Jerry sign a certificate of forgiveness, he will be able to board the "Heavenly Express", which leaves in one hour. If he fails, Tom will be banished to hell where the hellhound devil awaits., what would be the answer ?
