Q: The city's name was historically written as or (both read as "Nagoya"). One possible origin is the adjective , meaning 'peaceful'.

The name Chukyo (, consisting of "chu" (middle) + "kyo" (capital)) is also used to refer to Nagoya. Notable examples of the use of the name Chukyo include the Chukyo Industrial Area, Chukyo Metropolitan Area, Chukyo Television Broadcasting, Chukyo University and the Chukyo Racecourse.

Oda Nobunaga and his proteges Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu were powerful warlords based in the Nagoya area who gradually succeeded in unifying Japan. In 1610, Tokugawa Ieyasu moved the capital of Owari Province from Kiyosu, about seven kilometers () away, to a more strategic location in present-day Nagoya.

During this period Nagoya Castle was constructed, built partly from materials taken from Kiyosu Castle. During the construction, the entire town around Kiyosu Castle, consisting of around 60,000 people, moved from Kiyosu to the newly planned town around Nagoya Castle. Around the same time, the nearby ancient Atsuta Shrine was designated as a , called Miya (the Shrine), on the important Tokaido road, which linked the two capitals of Kyoto and Edo (now Tokyo). A town developed around the temple to support travelers. The castle and shrine towns formed the city.

Q: CHAPTER XX. A SAD HOME-COMING

Mr. Lowrie and Auctherlonnie, the Dumfries bo'sun, both of whom would have died for the captain, assured me of the truth of MacMuir's story, and shook their heads gravely as to the probable outcome. The peculiar water-mark of greatness that is woven into some men is often enough to set their own community bitter against them. Sandie, the plodding peasant, finds it a hard matter to forgive Jamie, who is taken from the plough next to his, and ends in Parliament. The affair of Mungo Maxwell, altered to suit, had already made its way on more than one vessel to Scotland. For according to Lowrie, there was scarce a man or woman in Kirkcudbrightshire who did not know that John Paul was master of the John, and (in their hearts) that he would be master of more in days to come. Human nature is such that they resented it, and cried out aloud against his cruelty.

On the voyage I had many sober thoughts of my own to occupy me of the terrible fate, from which, by Divine inter position, I had been rescued; of the home I had left behind. I was all that remained to Mr. Carvel in the world, and I was sure that he had given me up for dead. How had he sustained the shock? I saw him heavily mounting the stairs upon Scipicks arm when first the news was brought to him. Next Grafton would come hurrying in from Kent to Marlboro Street, disavowing all knowledge of the messenger from New York, and intent only upon comforting his father. And when I pictured my uncle soothing him to his face, and grinning behind his bed-curtains, my anger would scald me, and the realization of my helplessness bring tears of very bitterness.

Answer the following questions:
1. Was he happy on his ride home?
2. Had he escaped a bad outcome?
3. What did he credit for his survival?
4. Who did he assume thought he was deceased?
5. Who did he imagined he'd have to lean on when he learned about his death?
6. Where would that gentleman be coming from?
7. To where?
8. Where did the message arrive from?
9. Do images of his father's brother make him feel better?
10. Why not?
11. What does this feeling do to him?
A:
1. no
2. yes
3. Divine inter position
4. Mr. Carval
5. Grafton
6. Kent
7. Marlboro Street
8. New York
9. no
10. the realization of my helplessness
11. bring tears to him
