In "Excerpt From Gadgets: Built To Not Last," What Does The Phrase "throwaway Culture Inparagraph 3 Suggest

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Industry has made devices that are far more expensive to repair (to fix what's wrong) than to replace.  A throwaway culture is one that falls into that category. We don't repair things. We throw them away.

I have a printer sitting in my room. It prints in color. It is the only printer I own that does. And yet I never use it. It is unplugged and sits on the top shelf of a storage cabinate. The author makes exactly the same point I'm describing. And yet I don't want to throw the printer away. I know I will never use it again and I should throw it away, but my frugal sense tells me not to, so I don't.

Phones are the same way. I was surprised to learn that phones are sealed so the battery cannot be replaced. You cannot repair such a phone. You can only clutter the landfill with it.

That's alarming. The author has a solution. Don't buy such devices. If you don't buy it, they won't make it.

Answer 2

Gadgets: Built To Not Last is written by Mike Elgan. The phrase "throwaway culture" means that the gadgets are thrown away when not in need or are not repaired.  

What is the throwaway culture about?

The content is about electronic gadgets, devices and systems. The repairing of these devices are more expensive and people now have adapted to the throwaway culture where they do not repair the gadgets.

The depiction of the ideal and useless printer by the author, sealed phones that cannot separate the batteries are the instances that the author uses to depict the throwaway culture.

Therefore, throwaway culture does not believe in repairing things.

Write a story which ends as follows: It was then that I understood what sort of a man he was

Answers

Answer:

There lived once in Baghdad a very wealthy man, who lost all his substance and became so poor, that he could only earn his living by excessive labor. One night, he lay down to sleep, dejected and sick at heart, and saw in a dream one who said to him, "Thy fortune is at Cairo; go thither and seek it."

So he set out for Cairo; but, when he arrived there, night overtook him and he lay down to sleep in a mosque. Presently, as fate would have it, a company of thieves entered the mosque and made their way thence into an adjoining house; but the people of the house, being aroused by the noise, awoke and cried out; whereupon the chief of the police came to their aid with his officers. The robbers made off; but the police entered the mosque and finding the man from Baghdad asleep there, laid hold of him and beat him with palm-rods, till he was well-nigh dead.

Then they cast him into prison, where he abode three days, after which the chief of the police sent for him and said to him, "Whence art thou?"

"From Baghdad," answered he.

"And what brought thee to Cairo?" asked the magistrate.

Quoth the Baghdadi, "I saw in a dream one who said to me, 'Thy fortune is at Cairo; go thither to it.' But when I came hither, the fortune that he promised me proved to be the beating I had of thee.

The chief of the police laughed, till he showed his jaw teeth, and said, "O man of little wit, thrice have I seen in a dream one who said to me, 'There is in Baghdad a house of such a fashion and situate so-and-so, in the garden whereof is a fountain and thereunder a great sum of money buried. Go thither and take it.' Yet I went not; but thou, of thy little wit, hast journeyed from place to place, on the faith of a dream, which was but an illusion of sleep."

Then he gave him money, saying, "This is to help thee back to thy native land."

Now the house he had described was the man's own house in Baghdad; so the latter returned thither, and digging underneath the fountain in his garden, discovered a great treasure; and [thus] God gave him abundant fortune.

Answers

The past and our expectations for the future have a very strong impact on our current actions. This impact is extremely important for our actions to be carried out with responsibility and rationality because they will change our lives in an intense way.

First of all it is important to say that the past shows us where we went wrong and where we got it right, in addition to showing how our mistakes and successes were influential in our environment. Through the past we learned how to act in the present, either because we don't want to repeat mistakes, or because we want to optimize our hits. The future also interferes with our actions in the present, because we want the future to be good, grand and comfortable, so we act with that goal.

Read the excerpt from Warriors Don't Cry.

The announcer said it was 7:55 as Mama squeezed into a parking space, and we settled ourselves quietly for a moment, trying to identify the buzzing noise that seemed as if it were all around us. It resembled the sound of crowds at my high school football games. But how could that be? The announcer said there was a crowd, but surely it couldn't be that big.

Which word from the excerpt creates mood?

a.settled

b.buzzing

c.resembled

d.games

Answer:

b. Buzzing

Explanation:

From the passage, narrator seems amazed at how packed the stadium was, as there was barely any parking space and how they heard a buzzing noise that was as if it was "all around us". The narrator also voiced out that the announcer said there was a crowd, but surely she did not expect it to be that big to create that buzzing sound.

Therefore, the word that creates mood from the excerpt is buzzing because it shows how lively and loud the place was.

you need a canteen in your school.write a letter to your district chief executive asking for assistance​

Answers

Below are important tips on how to write this letter.

The letter opens with the writer's address and date at the top right corner as follows;

                                                                            Universal Model School,

                                                                             90 Aba Owerri Road,

                                                                             Aba.

                                                                            August 9, 2021.

Next is the address of the receiver. The letter must have two addresses because it is a formal letter. This address is written at the left corner of the paper.

The District Chief Executive,

Aba District,

Aba.

The salutation now follows,

Sir,

The next thing is the heading/title of the letter;

            NEED FOR A CANTEEN IN UNIVERSAL MODEL SCHOOL  

The whole body of the letter is now used to buttress the need for a canteen in the school. The body of the letter closes with a request that the district chief executive should consider your plea with urgency.

At the end of the letter you have to write;

                                                                                 Yours Faithfully,

                                                                                 Your first and last names
