I would agree with the person who said "do your own homework." However, I also know that sometimes a bit of help is welcome (boy do I know it . . . I'm in college!). So with that in mind, here are a few things you can research yourself, to make up your own mind:
1) a) Hatshepsut was a very well-known Egyptian . . . pharaoh. You read that right, she took the throne as king. Cleopatra is also well-known, although why she is I couldn't tell you. I think it had something to do with how she died . . . ? There's also Nefertiti, who was the wife of . . . whichever pharaoh it was who tried to abolish polytheism in Egypt. All of these are ancient examples, however; I think Egypt recently had their first female Prime Minister, and there are probably dozens of other examples.
b) Again, what do you mean by "notorious?" Margaret Thatcher, the former British Prime Minister, was very notorious. So was Queen Victoria, for refusing to marry a family member to keep the royal blood "clean." There's Anastasia, the daughter of Czar Alexis whats-his-name, from Russia. Queen Isabella - the woman who let Columbus sail to America, and who also conquered the Moors in Spain (that's a HUGE deal, just so you know). Think about what you know about history, and then do a little research on the names you know. You'd be surprised what you turn up, and it can be very, very interesting!
2) Economics wasn't (and continues to not be) my strong point, sorry.
3) Yes, there is a difference. I'll give you a hint, though this one you can do for yourself: Muhammad Ali was a tough guy, but he's definitely not resilient. Look at all the health problems he has.
4) Look up "passive resistance" and the civil rights movement of the 1960's, and think of all the people who quietly gave their time - and sometimes their lives - to make the lives of their fellow citizens better. Their names are not necessarily known. Their faces may not be remembered by those outside their own families. But they were leaders, just the same.
5) I would say "fight for what's right; don't go along with what's wrong," but there could be many, many answers to this question. Do some pondering; it's not a *hard* question, just one that requires some thought.

1. Notorious means known for being bad - For Egypt, I would say Nefertiti, the wife of "the Heretic" Akhenaten. She supported him in trying to change the Egyptians from a polytheistic society to a monotheistic society, but when public backlash became too great, she is rumored to be one of the conspirators who had him and his nephew, Tutankhamen (yes, King Tut) killed.
2. No clue what you need. Bottomline is net profit, so topline would be capital investment. Total footing means how much money is being invested ("footing the bill")
3. Resilience means the ability to bounce back from a bad situation, toughness means the ability to withstand it in the first place.
4. Lead from the middle means that someone else tries things and the leader will evaluate and change as he goes along. Lead from the rear can mean one of two things: (1) to change things after something has gone wrong (20/20 hindsight) or (2) to tell others to do something & if it goes wrong, they take the fall and the manager can "wipe his hands clean."
5. Greatest challenge? To rally people to your cause when things look the darkest. (A good leader will be able to convince people to follow him/her even when everything seems to be going wrong).

Hatshepsut was a very well-known Egyptian . . . pharaoh. You read that right, she took the throne as king.Yes, I totally agree. I would pick her hands down for most famous woman.. Although I wouldn't say she is notorious. notorious says to me "bad woman." Then I would say either Lizzy Borden.

Here is what we are speaking approximately: There isn't any means we would declare that the next verses from the Quran may also be "misinterpreted" or "taken out of context" [and preserve in brain those are only a small pattern of what's there]: “Whoever alterations his Islamic faith, kill him.” (Hadith Al Buhkari vol. nine:fifty seven) In Sahih Muslim: Book 041, Number 6985: “Judgment Day will come simplest whilst the Muslims battle the Jews and kill them, till the Jew hides in the back of the tree and the stone, and the tree and the stone say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there's a Jew in the back of me, come and kill him!’ – besides for the Gharqad tree, that's a Jewish tree.” Sura five:fifty one: “O you who consider! Take no longer the Jews and the Christians on your peers and protectors: they're however peers and protectors to one another. And he amongst you that turns to them for friendship is of them.” This friendship makes any Muslim an enemy in their possess and deserving of the equal destiny because the unbeliever. This is on the grounds that Allah does no longer consultant an unjust folks." Sura72:15 “The disbelievers are the firewood of hell.” Quran: [Surah four:fifty six] "Surely, folks who disbelieve in our revelations, we will be able to condemn them to the hellfire. Whenever their skins are burnt, we will be able to deliver them new skins. Thus, they're going to undergo consistently. Allah akbar." Jews are the greediest of all humankind. They'd love to reside a thousand years. But they will hell. Quran Quran two:ninety six -When the doom of Allah comes, pregnant ladies will undergo miscarriages, and guys will act like they're under the influence of alcohol. Quran 22:one million-two -For the wrongdoing Jews, Allah has all set a painful doom. Quran four:one hundred sixty-one million -Allah will punish the disbelieving Jews till the Day of Resurrection. 7:167 -Cut off the fingers of thieves. It is an exemplary punishment from Allah. Quran five:38 And eventually... -Those who deny the reality of Islam will probably be punished by way of Allah. Quran 6:five [This implies that anybody who doubts any of the above statements, similar to judgement day no longer coming till Muslims kill all of the Jews, will, if they're a believing Muslim, be "punished"]
