What is the Text Dependent Analysis of the following text? First, one to answer is marked BRAINLIEST:
The Romans began investigating new uses for glass in about AD 100. They experimented with different shapes and sizes of glass. They discovered that a piece of glass that was thick in the middle and thin at the edges could make objects appear larger. These special pieces of glass were useful for studying insects and therefore were called “flea glasses.” They were also called “magnifiers” and “burning glasses”—because the glass could focus the rays of the Sun and start a fire. Eventually, this specially shaped glass was called a lens because the glass was roughly the same shape as a lentil seed.
Lenses were not used much until the 1300s. Then people started wearing them to improve their vision. In the 1590s, two spectacle makers named Zacharias and Hans Janssen experimented with lenses. They put several lenses in a tube and looked through them at an object. The object appeared much larger than it would have with only one lens. The Janssens had invented the compound microscope.
News of the invention spread. Robert Hooke heard about the microscope and used it to study plants. One day he wanted to understand why a cork floated on the water. With the microscope, he discovered little chambers that he called “cells” because they resembled the kinds of rooms that monks used in a monastery. We know today that cells are the building blocks of life. In 1665, Hooke wrote a book about his discoveries titled Micrographia.
