Read the passage from The Importance of Being Earnest.
Gwendolen. [To Jack.] Darling!
Algernon. [To Cecily.] Darling! [They fall into each other's arms.]
[Enter Merriman. When he enters he coughs loudly, seeing the situation.]
Merriman. Ahem! Ahem! Lady Bracknell!
Jack. Good heavens!
[Enter Lady Bracknell. The couples separate in alarm. Exit Merriman.]
Lady Bracknell. Gwendolen! What does this mean?
In contrast to reading the scene, seeing the staged version of the scene would improve its aesthetic impact by allowing the audience to
A)see a single narrator, thereby adding to the drama.
B)watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.
C)witness different characters, thereby adding more tension.
D)view it being told in the past tense, thereby adding excitement.
Answer:
B)watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.
Explanation:
The dialogue of the drama is filled with humor and mire as the two lovers are seen by Merriman who has come to announce the arrival of Lady Bracknell.
The entire scene would be more hilarious to viewers who would watch the stage re-enactments because they would see the action, observe the body language of each of the characters and enjoy the humorous scene more thoroughly than reading about it.
The scene allows the audience to get a feel for the actors' reactions, thus contributing to the mood.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The stage directions presented in the text above, do not allow the reader to know what the facial expression of the characters is.This makes the reader have a less comprehensive view of the mood of the scene, as he only has a view of the facts that are happening.In the staged version of this text, the actors would present the characters' facial expressions, which would heighten the mood of the scene, and promote a deeper and more comprehensive understanding.With this, we can say that when we watch a play, we can have a greater insight into the characters and events that take place in the play.

In the concluding chapter of Pollution and the Death of Man, Udo Middleman discusses how his children have a different view of environmental issues than his generation did1. So much of our worldview is based on the ideas we are exposed to through the media. Explore the environmental issues/attitudes that you see in media. Briefly tell us about a movie, TV show, advertisement, etc. that has an environmental message. What does the literature and the Bible have to say about this
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I am going to explore the environmental issues/attitudes that I see in the media, taking the case of the film "An Inconvenient Truth," produced by former Democratic candidate to the presidency of the United States, Al Gore.
The film, released in 2006, tries to create conscience about the difficult topic of the damage that humans are inflicting on the environment and how mother Earth tends to react when so much noise, air, and water pollution abounds on the planet. The central topic is global warming, and the film presents testimonials and statistics about the increasing pollution levels in most parts of the earth and the damage industries and means of transportation causes the planet due to carbon dioxide.
Other pieces of literature support these concerns, meanwhile, the Bible warned of the kind of destruction that was created in the past if we sin and do not respect nature as a creation of God.
Read the passage. (1) Many American men were drafted during World War II. (2) Many other men volunteered to serve. (3) In fact, so many men entered the armed services that professional baseball experienced a shortage of good players. (4) Philip K. Wrigley had an interesting solution to the problem. (5) He started a new league. (6) It was called the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). (7) To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs. (8) They were very popular at that time. (9) The AAGPBL was a hit. (10) In 1948, the year in which the league reached its high point of popularity, more than a million fans came to watch AAGPBL games. (11) The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker. (12) Dorothy Kamenshek was also a fine player. (13) After World War II ended, the AAGPBL declined in popularity. (14) In 1954, the league was disbanded. Which is the most effective way to combine sentences (11) and (12)? The league produced many fine players, and they include Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek. The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek. The league produced many fine players, Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek also was fine. The league produced many fine players, Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek.
Answer:
"To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs, which were very popular at that time." is the correct answer. The last choice makes it sound like he's only scouting the popular women's softball clubs rather than all of them. The second to last option is not grammatically correct because of the comma between scouted and women's. The second option just replaces the period with a comma and and, which makes it still seem as if the two pieces of information are separate.

Which question best represents the theme Woolf analyzes in A Room of One's Own? OA. Why didn't women write during certain historical periods? B. Why was love not a factor in choosing a husband in the 16th century ? O Why didn't more women become actresses during Shakespeare's day? D. Why were women considered the property of men in the Elizabethan era?
Answer: A. Why didn't women write during certain historical periods?
Explanation:
Woolf analyzes the history literature written by women showing that the lack of time, privacy, and economic self-sufficiency, all required to be able to be writers, were historically denied to women.
She states that it was her aunt´s inheritance that allowed her dedication to write, in opposition to the life of most women.
This theme appears in the title itself since women need a room of their own to be able to write.

News writers often get stories from:
A. subscriptions.
B. their imaginations.
C. other news sources.
O D. advertisers.
SUBMIT
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
The answer is option C or "other news sources." A news writer takes information that he or she gets from other new sources to write stories about the incident and then get it published in things such as magazines or newspapers. It's not option B because they're news writers and they write stories based on things that happen in the news, it's not option D because advertisers pay them to advertise their product in their magazine/newspaper, and it's also not option A because people who subscribe to their news stories are their to read the authors work not provide the writer with things to write.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
option A is wrong, this is because they get money from delivering paper to people that HAVE subscriptions from them.
option B is wrong because you cant just add something compleately made up in the paper, you need to have some truth, sometimes a bit of lie, and also BIG events
D is wrong because why would you make a WHOLE story based of an advertisement

Answer:
Option (c) is the correct answer to this question.
Explanation:
Upward:- Upward communication (also often known as vertical communication) becomes information that tends to transfer from low-level workers to high-level staff.
For example:- When employees report to a boss or when team members report to a department manager, upward contact occurs. Products generally relayed upward usually involve weekly updates, progress reports, guesstimates of the budget, frustrations, and people complaining, areas for improvement, and curriculum issues.
A flow of information sometimes provokes some upward reaction, such as when a supervisor requests a suggestion for a replacement part or a predict of when a project is finished.
Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

The following question is based on your reading of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” What is your reaction to the book’s conclusion? Explain.
Answer:
This question requires an answer based on personal opinion. Below I will write what I think of the book so that you have help and in case you want to add or change information you can do so.
Explanation:
This book shows how a person cannot intervene with nature.
Dr Jekyll believed that the soul of every human being was divided in two, being able to separate good from evil. And he began to experiment with this, succeeding. In this way he gave life to his "bad half": Hyde.
Going against nature and what is moral, made him lose everything in his life. He lost his friends, he lost his reason and control of his life. He even ended up killing himself in order to free himself from this evil when he no longer had control over it.
We can say that there are things that are better to let happen naturally, and that in life everything has to have a balance. No person should release all their bad side or all their good side.

Part 4
4 + 3(a + 2) = 16
Subtract 4 from both sides
3(a+2)=16-4
Distribute the Left Hand Side
3a+6=12

Read the following text reproduced from neil postman's amusing ourselves to death.
The television commercial is the most peculiar and pervasive form of communication to issue forth from the electric plug. The move away from the use of propositions in commercial advertising began at the end of the nineteenth century. But it was not until the 1950's that the television commercial made linguistic discourse obsolete as the basis for product decisions. By substituting images for claims, the pictorial commercial made emotional appeal, not tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions. Which of the following is not a plagiarized version of the above?
a. television commercials have made language obselete as a basis for making decisions about products. the pictorial commercial has substituted images for claims and thereby made emotional appeal, rather than tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions.
b. postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.
c. the television commercial is a terrible thing. the move away from the use of propositions in commercial advertising began at the end of the nineteenth century. but it was not until the 1950's that the television commercial made linguistic discourse obsolete as the basis for product decisions. by substituting images for claims, the pictorial commercial made emotional appeal, not tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions.
d. all of the above passages are plagiarized.
Answer:
B). Postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. Instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.
Explanation:
The second option from the given options is not plagiarised as it paraphrases the ideas presented in the paragraph and acknowledges the author i.e. 'Neil Postman' when it says 'Postman argues.' It restates the meaning of the passage using different words that help in preventing plagiarism. The other options represent Postman's language as well as ideas without paraphrasing and acknowledgment or citation of the source that eventually plagiarizes them. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen
The invitation was accepted of course, and at a proper hour they joined the party in Lady Catherine's drawing room. Her ladyship received them civilly, but it was plain that their company was not exactly wanted; she was, in fact, almost engrossed by her nephews, Fitzwilliam and Darcy, speaking to them, especially to Darcy, much more than to any other person in the room. Colonel Fitzwilliam seemed really glad to see them; anything was a welcome relief to him at his aunt's; and Elizabeth Bennet had moreover caught his fancy very much. He now seated himself by her, and talked so agreeably of Kent and Hertfordshire, of traveling and staying at home, of new books and music, that Elizabeth had never been half so well entertained in that room before; and they conversed with so much spirit, as to draw the attention of Lady Catherine herself, as well as of Mr. Darcy. His eyes had been soon and repeatedly turned toward them with a 100k Of curiosity; and that her ladyship, after a while, shared the feeling, was more openly acknowledged, for she did not hesitate to call out: "What is that you are saying, Fitzwilliam? What is it you are talking of? What are you telling Miss Bennet? Let me hear what it is." "We are speaking of music, madam," said he, when no longer able to avoid a reply. "Of music! Then pray speak aloud. It is of all subjects my delight. I must have my share in the conversation if you are speaking of music. There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great musician.... "l often tell young ladies that no excellence in music is to be acquired without constant practice. I have told Miss Bennet several times, that she will never play really well unless she practices more; and though Mrs. Collins has no instrument, she is very welcome, as I have often told her, to come here every day and play on the piano. She would be in nobody's way, you know, in that part of the house." Mr. Darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunt's ill breeding.

What is the central idea of the passage?
War by William Graham Sumner
The Monroe Doctrine is an exercise of authority by the United States over a controversy between two foreign states, if one of them is in America, combined with a refusal of the United States to accept any responsibility in connection with the controversy. That is a position which is sure to bring us into collision with other States, especially because it will touch their vanity, or what they call their honor — or it will touch our vanity, or what we call our honor, if we should ever find ourselves called upon to "back down" from it. Therefore it is very true that we must expect to need a big navy if we adhere to the doctrine. What can be more contrary to sound statesmanship and common sense than to put forth an abstract assertion which has no definite relation to any interest of ours now at stake, but which has in it any number of possibilities of producing complications which we cannot foresee, but which are sure to be embarrassing when they arise! What has just been said suggests a consideration of the popular saying, "In time of peace prepare for war." If you prepare a big army and navy and are all ready for war, it will be easy to go to war; the military and naval men will have a lot of new machines and they will be eager to see what they can do with them. There is no such thing nowadays as a state of readiness for war. It is a chimera, and the nations which pursue it are falling into an abyss of wasted energy and wealth. When the army is supplied with the latest and best rifles, someone invents a new field gun; then the artillery must be provided with that before we are ready. By the time we get the new gun, somebody has invented a new rifle and our rival nation is getting that; therefore we must have it, or one a little better. It takes two or three years and several millions to do that. In the meantime somebody proposes a more effective organization which must be introduced; signals, balloons, dogs, bicycles, and every other device and invention must be added, and men must be trained to use them all. There is no state of readiness for war; the notion calls for never-ending sacrifices. It is a fallacy. It is evident that to pursue such a notion with any idea of realizing it would absorb all the resources and activity of the state; this the great European states are now proving by experiment.
A.) A nation cannot expect peace by making preparations for war
B.) A state of peace will always lead to a state of war
C.) War is essential for the advancement of human society
D.) War is beneficial only to arms and weapons manufacturers

Which word best describes the narrator based on this excerpt?
A. Self-promoting
B. Social
C. Witty
D. Popular
Answer:
B. Social
Explanation:
In the excerpt from "Exhalation", the narrator describes himself in a manner that suggests that he is social. He talks about 'lingering to enjoy his conversations with friends, sharing the news of the day with each other and sharing the air from newly filled lungs'. He also talked about the solidarity and companionship that springs from the fact that they all share air from the same source.
A social person is one who is disposed to friendship with others. So from the excerpt, we can deduce that the narrator is a social person because he enjoys fellowship with his acquaintances.

Read these sentences. More and more countries are spying not just on their enemies but on nations that are friendly to them as well. If this continues, the world will be filled with countries that isolate themselves, and all nations will be unfriendly to each other. Which logical fallacy do these sentences demonstrate? genetic fallacy slippery slope false cause cherry picking
The logical fallacy demonstrated in the given sentences is the slippery slope fallacy.
The slippery slope fallacy occurs when it is assumed that a particular event or action will inevitably lead to a series of increasingly negative consequences without sufficient evidence to support such a claim. In this case, the sentences suggest that if countries continue to spy not only on their enemies but also on friendly nations, it will inevitably result in a world where all nations become unfriendly to each other and isolate themselves.
However, this argument fails to provide a clear causal link or evidence to support the claim that increased spying will lead to such extreme outcomes. It presents an exaggerated, speculative scenario without considering other potential factors, alternative possibilities, or the complexities of international relations.
To avoid the slippery slope fallacy, it is important to critically evaluate the evidence and logical connections between events, considering alternative explanations and potential mitigating factors that may impact the predicted outcomes.
