Question 12 of 24
1 Point
Read the following passage:
An increase in automobile use has led to increased
demand for fuel. The extraction, processing, and delivery

dioxide emissions. The carbon dioxide creates a
greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. The gasses trap
heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming.

In context, which is the best version of the underlined portion of sentences 5 (reprinted below)? There, he became the school's first African-American student, and studied agricultural science and received a bachelor's degree in 1894.

Answers

Answer:

- There he became the school's first African-American student, studied agricultural science, and received a bachelor's degree in 1894.

Explanation:

The given sentence contains a punctuation error and error in use of a conjunction. The aptest version to revise the underlined portion of the sentence would be as mentioned above. The commas and conjunctions are wrongly placed in the given sentence. At the beginning of the sentence, no comma is required after 'there' as it refers to the location. The sentence discusses a list of actions through comma but incorrectly uses coordinating conjunction 'and' before proceeding towards the last action in the list. It can be corrected by removing the conjunction and placing a comma(,) after 'science'. Thus, the final sentence reads as:

'There he became the school's first African-American student, studied agricultural science, and received a bachelor's degree in 1894.'

Match each equation to the value of a that makes the equation true. 3 4 1 2 0 2a + 3(a + 1) = 8 arrowRight 3a − 2a − 4 = 0 arrowRight 6(2a − a + 1) = 24 arrowRight 4 + 3(a + 2) = 16 arrowRight

Answers

Answer:

2a + 3(a + 1) = 8----->13a − 2a − 4 = 0----->46(2a − a + 1) = 24----->34 + 3(a + 2) = 16----->2

Explanation:

Part 1

2a + 3(a + 1) = 8

2a+3a+3=8

5a=8-3

5a=5

a=1

Part 2

3a − 2a − 4 = 0

a-4=0

a=4

Part 3

6(2a − a + 1) = 24

6(a+1)=24

Distribute the Left Hand Side

6a+6=24

Subtract 6 from both sides

6a=24-6

6a=18

Divide both sides by 6

a=3

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

Subtract 6 from both sides

3a=12-6

3a=6

Divide both sides by 3

a=2

Answer:

2a + 3(a + 1) = 8----->1

3a − 2a − 4 = 0----->4

6(2a − a + 1) = 24----->3

4 + 3(a + 2) = 16----->2

Answers

Answer:

To answer these questions, you must know the difference between internal and external conflicts. Once you know it, it'll be pretty easy for you to find out yourself.

Explanation:

Internal conflict means inside. It is mental, in your head. For example: "Paul was angry at himself for submitting the wrong answer to the test."

External conflict is outside conflict. It is from an other person or force. For example: "John was punched repeatedly by Jacob."

Internal is like emotions or how you feel emotionalally. External is physical with someone or something else.

1. Fire is external.

3. Invaders are external.

4. A bully is external.

5. Temper(being angry) is internal.

6. Shyness is internal. He feels shy inside, so it is internal.

Answer:

Inteernal- Ella fears failure, Tim curbs his temper, Al's shyness isolates him.

External- Fire threatens a farm, A town fights invaders, Anu faces a bully.

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.

Answers

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.

The following question is based on your reading of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” What is your reaction to the book’s conclusion? Explain.

Answers

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.

Answers

Answer:

Statistics about the number of books written by past recipients of the Nobel Prize in Literature

A quotation by a literary scholar explaining why Dylan’s lyrics are not poetry quotations from both Tarantula and Chronicles: Volume One

Explanation:

To make a rebuttal is to counter a claim that is made against someone by providing contrary evidence.

There was a claim that Dylan's Nobel Prize award was not accurate because his lyrics were not considered as literature and thus do not qualify for the award.

The supporting evidences are that a quotation by a literary scholar was provided to corroborate the claim that Dylan's lyrics are not poetry.

Another supporting evidence is that the number of books written by past winners were more when compared to the few number Dylan wrote.

Rebuttal is considered as the type of evidence that is offered to refute other evidence presented by an opposing party.

There are two types of evidence that can be used to support the rebuttal: Statistics about the number of books written by past recipients of the Nobel Prize in Literature and a quotation by a literary scholar explaining why Dylan's lyrics are not poetry.

Because the rebuttal is based on a comparison of the number of books that previous Nobel Prize winners actually published to the number of books that Dylan wrote, which was very few, the best way to support this rebuttal would be to provide information about the number of books that previous Nobel Prize winners actually published in order to contrast this number with the number of books that Dylan wrote, which was very few.

Furthermore, a literary scholar's explanation of why Dylan's lyrics are not poetry would be highly valuable in establishing a contrast between poetry and music, two genres of art that involve separate elements.
