Answers
Answer:
1. B. The company is testing exterior paint
2. D. hyperbole
3. D. A Testing Ground for a Paint Company
4. A. intrigued by the wood panels
Explanation:
From the passage, we discover that the company is testing exterior paint. An evidence from the passage states that "By leaving these panels out in each season and all kinds of weather, the company learns how well and how long the paints hold up". This shows that the company is actually carrying out a testing on exterior paint.
If that is the case, the title that best summarizes the passage and which also retains the main idea of the passage is "A Testing Ground for a Paint Company". The passage reflects the writer's point of view to be intrigued by the wood panels.
"It's a huge rainbow" is hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech which uses exaggerated statements.

It is a British penny with King Edward VII in elegant profile, but his image has been defaced in what was then a criminal act. Stamped all over the king’s head in crude capitals are the words VOTES FOR WOMEN. This suffragette coin stands for all those who fought for the right to vote. Recent objects have been about nineteenth-century mass production and mass consumption – this one is about the rise of mass political engagement.

C) He is considerably more wealthy than anyone else
D) He is louder and more arrogant than others
Answers
Answer:

Answer:
B
Explanation:
As with much of the rest of the novel, Nick is a complete outsider at Gatsby's party. He is not from the same class or even from the same area of the country as the other party goers. Furthermore, Nick is one of the very few guests in attendance that is actually directly invited to the party, meaning that Gatsby has taken an interest in him.

Do you think people's expectations and treatment of Harrison and his eventual actions could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy? Why or why not?
Answers
I have found this question online. It refers to the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut.
Answer and Explanation:
Yes, I believe people's expectations and treatment of Harrison and his eventual actions could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.
A self-fulfilling prophecy is a result of the Pygmalion effect theory, which claims we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. When we begin to believe what others think of us to be the truth, we change our behavior in accordance to it. We end up fulfilling the prophecies others have made about us, that is, we confirm their expectations.
That is what Harrison, the main character, does. In the story, the American government has decided to promote equality in a most absurd manner. People who are considered beautiful or intelligent, for instance, are forced to wear handicaps so that others will not feel inferior. Harrison is only 14 years old, and he is forced to wear loads of handicaps, not only to make him less handsome and strong, but also to make him less intelligent. For that reason, Harrison begins to see himself as truly superior to others. What the government does to him leads him to believe he is special, and that the world deserves to see that.
Harrison escapes from jail, appears before cameras, removes his own handicaps, and dances with a ballerina. Both are shot dead by a government official. If Harrison were truly superior in intelligence, he would most likely not have done that, since he knew he would be breaking the law and the outcome was quite obvious. It was because he was treated as intelligent, not because he was truly intelligent, that Harrison did what he did and was killed for it.
When Tomas gave his speech, the heating system was not working correctly. Knowing that his audience felt hot and cranky, Tomas began his speech by saying, "I know we are all very uncomfortable from the temperature. But I want you all to close your eyes and imagine the heat coming from the sun while you are lying in the sand listening to the waves at one of my favorite vacation spots, Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida!" The class became energized, and Tomas was able to keep his audience's attention. Why?
Answers
This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the explanation is the same, I will omit it:
The class became energized, and Tomas was able to keep his audience's attention. Why?
A. The body of his speech was well organized.
B. He drew attention away from the topic of his speech.
C. He paid attention to the audience's demographics.
D. He used the physical situation to his advantage.
E. He refuse to be influenced negatively by the physical setting.
Answer:
The class became energized and paid attention because:
D. He used the physical situation to his advantage.
E. He refuse to be influenced negatively by the physical setting.
Explanation:
Tomas himself could have gotten cranky due to the heat, but he refused to let that affect him negatively. Instead, he came up with an interesting way to make the heat acceptable to his audience. By asking them to imagine they are on a beach, Tomas was able to get them to feel good. Their brains are no longer focusing on how irritating it is to be at a place where the heating system does not work properly. Quite the contrary, the heat is actually helpful when it comes to imagining a hot, tropical, paradisiac place. Tomas was able to take advantage of the situation.

During which stage of the listening process do you pay close attention to verbal and nonverbal signals?
A. evaluation
B. preparation
C. active involvement
Answers
Answer:
C !!! C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C
Answer:
C. active involvement
Explanation:
Watch for nonverbal signals. Aside from communicating their messages through words, speakers often give clues through their actions about what they consider important.
Common nonverbal signals include
gestures or facial expressions;
eye contact with the audience; and
movement around the front of the room to connect with the audience.
Link new information you hear into a meaningful pattern by combining it with what you already know. For example, you might compare what you hear about this college’s degree programs with those of another college you already know about. Or you might think about the similarities or differences between two different career options.
Active Involvement
Active involvement is when you interpret the speaker’s message and identify the most important points.
Listen for verbal signals, which are the ways a message is communicated through a person’s voice. To emphasize important points, speakers may
change the tone or pitch of their voice;
change how loudly or quickly they speak; or
pronounce key words slowly or with added emphasis.
Preparation
Imagine that a college representative has come to talk to your class. This individual’s presentation will help you make important decisions about the steps you need to take to choose a college. Clearly, it is very important that you listen closely.
Think About It
How might you prepare to listen to this speaker?
There are a number of things you can do to prepare for this kind of speaker.
Find out about the subject that will be discussed. In this case, it is
college admissions requirements;
college application process;
courses offered; and
financial aid options.
Block out all distractions during the presentation. For example, you should
turn off your cell phone;
not sit next to a friend who may distract you; and
select a seat where you can see and hear the speaker clearly.
Write down questions you have or ideas you want to learn more about.
How do I decide on choosing a college?
What degree programs are offered?
Can I afford to go to college?
Evaluation
Evaluation is the last step in the listening process. Remember, when you listen to a speech you have to think about its purpose. As you may recall, speeches vary depending on their purpose.
Take a look at the table to review the four purposes of speeches.
Purpose
Description
Example
inform
explains an event or idea, or describes a person, place, object, or process
the invention of the light bulb
entertain
often about amusing topics that people might enjoy hearing about
the best thing about having a little sister
persuade
to get listeners to agree with your position on a topic or take a certain action
why people should try a vegetarian diet
suit the occasion
an informal, unplanned speech without a prepared outline
toasting the bride and groom at a wedding
To evaluate a speech properly, you first must actively listen to it.
Then, you want to take some time after you listen to the speech to think about what you have heard.
After you listen to a speech, ask yourself, What did I just hear?
You can evaluate how well you were listening if you are able to answer questions such as these:
What was the purpose of the speech?
What was the overall message?
What points were most useful?
What parts were most interesting?
Do I agree with what the speaker said?
Were the speaker’s words emotionally charged, or were they said without emotion?

Discuss your plan for choosing an authoritative style when working with children. Relate your decision back to information presented in the textbook, including Brain Facts, ages and stages, or any information that supports your decision. Use and reference your textbook.
Answers
Hello. You did not inform the book to which this question refers, which may leave the textual evidence a little inaccurate. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
The authoritarian style, as the name implies, refers to the ability of an adult to impose his will on the child in a threatening, judgmental and rigid way. This style can be adopted by parents or people who work with children, imposing an absolutist behavior. When planning to adopt this type of style, the individual must keep in mind that the child will behave in a fearful and shy manner, not revealing his true potential in any activity for fear of receiving reprisals, which will be adopted whenever the child does something unpleasant. . It is also important to keep in mind that the authoritarian style does not impose a relationship of friendship and respect between child and adult and can trigger situations of fear and anguish in the child.

2. What connection does the author draw between British, American and African stories? A. British and American stories are more readily available across the world, while African writers and their stories are less accessible in other countries. B. British and American stories are more popular because more people can identify with them, while African stories do not provide identifiable experiences. C. British and American stories are more popular because most people are unwilling to read something different, like the works of African writers. D. British and American stories discuss a greater variety of experiences, while African stories are limited.
Answers
Answer:
A. British and American stories are more readily available across the world, while African writers and their stories are less accessible in other countries.
Explanation:
In "The Danger of a Single Story," by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, she recounted how as a little girl she read British and American stories that talked about things she could not readily identify with such as the snow, the eating of apples, and discussions of the weather. She attributed the reason for her not reading African books to the fact that they were not readily accessible compared to their American and British counterparts that could be readily found anywhere.
The discovery of African writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye helped Adichie to recognize that it was possible to write about things that were relatable to her and she began to write them.
