[Answer] Which William Shakespeare play inspired the title of Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which William Shakespeare play inspired the title of Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World?"



...The title of Brave New World comes directly from a memorable line spoken by Miranda in The Tempest, one of William Shakespeare’s late romances. Upon seeing new people arrive on the island, Miranda exclaims, “O brave new world, that has such people in’t!” Aldous Huxley deliberately adopted the phrase ironically, using it as the title of his dystopian novel to sharply contrast the youthful optimism of the line with a future society defined by enforced conformity, rigid social control, technological conditioning, and the profound loss of individuality.

It was originally established in 1918 as an artillery training ground and named after Confederate general Braxton Bragg. Amid controversy over Confederate memorials, the base was renamed Fort Liberty in 2023. In 2025, the U.S. Army restored the name Fort Bragg, this time in honor of World War II paratrooper Roland L. Bragg. The installation houses elite units like the 82nd Airborne Division and U.S. Army Special Operations Command.

[Answer] A theorem on right triangles is named after which Greek philosopher?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "A theorem on right triangles is named after which Greek philosopher?"



...The Pythagorean Theorem is named after Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher and mathematician who lived around the 6th century BCE. The theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²). While versions of this mathematical relationship were known to earlier civilizations, Pythagoras and his followers are traditionally credited with formally systematizing and proving it, making it one of the most fundamental and enduring principles in geometry.
