Question: Russian is notable for its distinction based on palatalization of most of the consonants. While /k/, //, /x/ do have palatalized allophones [k, , x], only /k/ might be considered a phoneme, though it is marginal and generally not considered distinctive (the only native minimal pair which argues for /k/ to be a separate phoneme is " " ([t tkt], 'it weaves')/" " ([tt kot], 'this cat')). Palatalization means that the center of the tongue is raised during and after the articulation of the consonant. In the case of /t/ and /d/, the tongue is raised enough to produce slight frication (affricate sounds). These sounds: /t, d, ts, s, z, n and r/ are dental, that is pronounced with the tip of the tongue against the teeth rather than against the alveolar ridge.

Question: The medieval period is frequently caricatured as a "time of ignorance and superstition" that placed "the word of religious authorities over personal experience and rational activity." This is a legacy from both the Renaissance and Enlightenment, when scholars contrasted their intellectual cultures with those of the medieval period, to the detriment of the Middle Ages. Renaissance scholars saw the Middle Ages as a period of decline from the high culture and civilisation of the Classical world; Enlightenment scholars saw reason as superior to faith, and thus viewed the Middle Ages as a time of ignorance and superstition.

Answer: as a time of ignorance and superstition
Question: The Cenozoic Era covers the 66 million years since the CretaceousPaleogene extinction event up to and including the present day. By the end of the Mesozoic era, the continents had rifted into nearly their present form. Laurasia became North America and Eurasia, while Gondwana split into South America, Africa, Australia, Antarctica and the Indian subcontinent, which collided with the Asian plate. This impact gave rise to the Himalayas. The Tethys Sea, which had separated the northern continents from Africa and India, began to close up, forming the Mediterranean sea.
Try to answer this question if possible: How many years long was the Cenozoic Era?
Answer: 66 million years
