Read this excerpt from “Poor Harold.”
A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.
A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.
SHE. What are you doing?
HE. (innocently) Writing.
SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?
HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .
SHE. (continues to look inquiry).
HE. (finally) A letter. . . .
SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?
HE. (defiantly) To my wife!
SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.
HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –
SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.
HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!
SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?
HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.

Read the negative position from "Animal Rights Debate."
It is clear that humans are superior to animals, and therefore animals should not have the same rights as human beings. The Greek philosopher Aristotle argued that only humans have the ability to reason. Animals only have instincts to guide them. Therefore, they are not sentient, or thinking, beings like humans are. In addition, humans show their superiority to animals through control. Humans have superior abilities that allow them to raise animals for a variety of uses. Human beings are in control of animal life, making animal rights unnecessary.
Which statement best uses the ideas of the negative position to provide an affirmative rebuttal?
Animals can show humanlike traits, such as cooperation and the use of tools.
The purpose of animals is to be either consumed or used, regardless of whether they can reason with others.
Even though humans can communicate their reasoning better
Answer:
Even though humans can communicate their reasoning better than animals, animals like chimpanzees have shown that they reflect on their own thoughts.
Explanation:
A rebuttal is a way of contesting an earlier statement, showing facts that prove that the previous statement is not correct, but has inconsistencies and therefore cannot be considered.
An example of this can be seen in the question that presents a text that states that animals do not need rights, since they are not able to reason and reflect. In this case, it is possible to refute this claim by claiming that even though humans can communicate their reasoning better than animals, animals like chimpanzees have shown that they reflect on their own thoughts.
"if a singer's songs transcend musical genres, would you be able to easily classify the songs as county or rock?"
Answer:What is music? Is it a simple strum on the banjo or a raging squeal from an electric guitar? Why not both? In many cultures today, music is not limited to only one genre. Music can range from heavy metal, to classical, to country. The question isn’t what music is, but rather what does music do. Different types of music elicit different emotions, but “in order to be moved by music (physically and emotionally),” Daniel Levitin argues, “it helps a great deal to have a readily predictable beat” (Levitin, 2006, pp 166). Levitin refers to this beat at groove—“that quality that moves the song forward” (Levitin, 2006, 166). The emotions people feel from listening to music are interpreted by the entire brain. Negative emotions are interpreted in the right hemisphere of the brain and positive emotions are interpreted in the left hemisphere (Davis and Palladino, 2006, pp 262). Music has the power to change people’s feelings; in fact, music therapy has recently become a popular method of helping people deal with problems such as stress, anxiety, and pain (Music Therapy Makes a Difference, 2004). Therapists also recommend music as a means of “positive change in mood and emotional states” (Shinn, 2005). So what genres of music are best for enhancing one’s mood? Which genres create negative emotions in the listeners? In our paper we will explore the many faces of music, and determine what effect different genres of music have on emotions.
Jazz music originated at the turn of the 20th century in New Orleans. Often associated with Louis Armstrong and improvisation, jazz has not only played a major role in American history, it also can play a role in the emotions felt by one listening to it. Just as there are many genres of music, there are many types of jazz. Levitin lists a few: “Dixieland, boogie-woogie, big band, swing, bebop, ‘straight-ahead,’ acid-jazz, fusion, and metaphysical” (Levitin, 2006, pp 232) and these can stir up many different emotions, such as sadness, happiness, and excitement.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Complete these sentences about medieval plays. were short comedic plays that introduced real characters who were more fully developed than characters in allegories. These short plays helped to the mood in the midst of serious, instructive plays. Which of these statements is true about the play Everyman?
Answer:
Interlude: were short comedic plays that introduced real characters who were more fully developed than characters in allegories.
A). The fate of Everyman is destined.
Explanation:
The correct option to complete the given definition would be 'interlude.' Interludes are characterized as the plays that evolved from morality plays. It served as a transition between the morality plays of the medieval period and the Tudor drama. These were the 'short comedic plays' performed in the middle of serious plays or at banquets/aristocratic meetings for giving a break from the seriousness of the atmosphere and amuse the audience.
As per the question, the first option states a correct claim about the morality play 'Everyman' that the 'fate of Everyman is destined' i.e. 'his imminent death.' He represents the entire humanity and his struggle to prevent death and later to accept it symbolizes the human nature of evading the ultimate reality of human life i.e. their mortality. It is their deeds which define their judgment by god after death. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

The remaining Greek scholars moved to Jundi Shapur. Jews joined them, as did a group of Christians called Nestorians, who had their own ancient and scholarly traditions. Persians added their voices, and one of their learned doctors set off for what is now India, to gather and translate the wisdom of the Hindus. The school created the very first teaching hospital in the world, a place where the sick were treated and young doctors learned their craft, as well as a fine observatory to track the heavens. At Jundi Shapur the best scholars west of China all gathered to think and study together.

Joseph Lister's idea saved many lives by allowing sick people to not get germs from other people on them through the doctor's uncleanliness. ... This saved many lives. On the other hand, John Dalton's work theorized that all matter is made up of atoms, and this didn't have immediate effect.

................. means caring about others, but not at the expense of caring for yourself.
a) Attitude b)Emotion c)Generosity d)Simplicity
Answer:
I think it's Generosity.
Answer:
Simplicity
Explanation:
It is not attitude or emotion because it's not exactly relatable to this, and generosity would work if it was at the expense of caring for yourself. Therefore it is simplicity.

Identify the type of relationship that is shown through the use of the transitional word or phrase in the sentence below: She always wore her blue skirt on Mondays, but it was dirty.
The answer is contrast or opposition
Explanation:
Transitional words or phrases include but, or, for example, firstly, among others. These are used as part of the language to indicate the relationship between elements and connect ideas. In the sentence presented, the transitional word "but" connects the detail "it was dirty."
Moreover, these words can show different relationships between details including similarity, contrast, order, emphasis, exemplification, among others. In the case of "but" this shows contrast or opposition. This relationship occurs in the sentence presented because the transitional word helps the speaker clarify that specific Monday the woman could not wear the skirt (but it was dirty) even when she always did it (she always wore her blue skirt on Mondays.)
Answer: Contrast

The engineers believed that the roller coaster was safe to ride again; ______, they decided to keep it closed until further test trials could be completed. Which transition best completes the sentence?
Answer:
"but"
Explanation:
The best and only transition that works for this sentence would be "but". This states that even though the ride was safe the engineers still decided to go against the logical next step and maintain the ride closed until they could make certain that it was completely safe. If the second part of the sentence was a logical conclusion the transition could be "so" or "and". But that is not the case so this would be the best transition for the sentence.
