question:Given the question: Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: where is the largest ice sheet in the north Context: Glacial bodies larger than 50,000 km2 (19,000 sq mi) are called ice sheets or continental glaciers. Several kilometers deep, they obscure the underlying topography. Only nunataks protrude from their surfaces. The only extant ice sheets are the two that cover most of Antarctica and Greenland. They contain vast quantities of fresh water, enough that if both melted, global sea levels would rise by over 70 m (230 ft). Portions of an ice sheet or cap that extend into water are called ice shelves; they tend to be thin with limited slopes and reduced velocities. Narrow, fast-moving sections of an ice sheet are called ice streams. In Antarctica, many ice streams drain into large ice shelves. Some drain directly into the sea, often with an ice tongue, like Mertz Glacier. The answer is:
answer:The largest ice sheet in the north is the one that covers most of Greenland.

question:Weak start, solid middle, fantastic finish. That's my impression of this film, anyway. I liked Simon Pegg in the two films I've seen him in--- Hot Fuzz, and Shaun of the Dead. His role here, though, took a completely different turn. Shows his range as an actor, but nonetheless I really disliked th character as he was portrayed at the beginning. There's a kind of humour I call "frustration comedy." Its supposed "jokes" and wit are really nothing more than painful and awkward moments. Much like the Bean character Rowan Atkinmson plays. There are a number of other comedic actors who portray similar characters too. I don't mean to bash them here, so will not. But do be warned that if you are like me, and you dislike smarmy and maddeningly bungling idiots, Pegg shows just such characteristics for the first third of this film. It DOES get better, however. I read somewhere that this is based on a true story. Hmmm. Maybe. The film's story stopped being annoying, and became kind of a triumph of the "little guy" in the final third. I don't need all films to be sugar and light--- but coincidentally, as this film got better, it also started to be more and more of a happy ending. It was also a pleasure to see an old favourite, Jeff Bridges, play a role so masterfully. I liked "Iron Man," but was saddened by the fact that Bridges' character was a villain. Purely personal taste, of course, as his acting in that was superb. Nonetheless, he was a marvel here as the Bigger Than Life man of vision, the publisher of Sharps. It was nice to see him in a role that I could actually enjoy. Overall then, I liked it! I just wish I had come in 40 minutes late, and missed the beginning. Would you say this review is positive or negative?
answer:This review can be considered as a mixed one, leaning more towards positive. The reviewer starts off describing their dislike for Simon Pegg's character at the beginning of the film but later states that it gets better, and they end up appreciating the triumph of the "little guy" and the happy ending. The reviewer also enjoyed Jeff Bridges' performance and liked the film overall but wished they had missed the beginning. The positive aspects outweigh the negative, making the review more positive overall.
question:Q: Who is said to have ran the first shop? A: There is confusion currently as to the name of the eldest Vinaccia luthier who first ran the shop. Does the answer correctly answer the question Available choices: [I] yes. [II] no.
answer:A: The concept of a "shop" has evolved throughout history, and it is difficult to pinpoint exactly who is said to have run the first shop. However, there are several contenders and historical examples of early shops that may provide insight into the origins of this integral aspect of human trade, commerce, and societal structure. One of the earliest recorded examples of a "shop" could be attributed to the ancient Sumerians, who lived in the region of present-day Iraq from around 4500 to 1900 BCE. The Sumerians developed a system of currency and commerce, and merchants would set up stalls or marketplaces to sell their goods. These early shops were primarily focused on selling commodities such as grains, textiles, and pottery. Another possible contender for the first shops would be the Ancient Egyptians. In 1200 BCE, Egypt was a thriving civilization with trade and commerce at its heart. Marketplaces called "Souks" were set up in which traders would sell their goods, often out of small, specialized stalls. These stalls can be considered early forms of shops, as they were individual units focused on specific products, such as spices or fabrics. The ancient Greeks also had a significant influence on the development of shops. They are known to have established various types of marketplaces in their cities called "Agoras." These Agoras included permanent buildings and structures, which were sometimes operated by specific tradespeople or retailers who sold their wares from these designated locations. The Romans further developed the concept of the shop. Many Roman cities had shopping districts where people could purchase everything from food to clothing. In Pompeii, which was preserved after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE, archaeologists have discovered shops with storefronts which provided a more recognizable form of the modern-day shop system. The Roman forum, a central marketplace, also featured shops alongside government and religious buildings. During the Middle Ages, shops, and marketplaces continued to be important parts of European communities. Small shops were typically operated by specialized craftspeople and merchants who sold their products and services, such as blacksmiths, bakers, and weavers. These shops evolved into what we now consider retail establishments. In conclusion, the identification of the first person to run a shop is difficult due to the evolving nature of the concept and lack of specific historical records. The earliest civilizations, including the Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, all contributed to the development and formation of various shop types that have evolved into the modern-day retail establishments we know today.
