Read the passage. First identify the text structure used in the passage, and then explain how this structure helps develop the writer's central idea. Use evidence from the text in your response.

The rise in popularity of farmers' markets has caused many people to rethink their use of regular grocery stores. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Farmers' markets have fresh and local produce, and often you get a chance to meet the people who grow your food. This isn't the case with grocery stores, where you'll never get to meet the farmers. Grocery stores are starting to have more local products, though, and they have a better variety of goods. Another thing to consider is the setting itself. Farmers' markets are usually in more pleasant, open-air locations where there's often live music playing. Grocery stores, on the other hand, can be busy and uncomfortable if you don't like shopping. The pleasant atmosphere comes at a price, though, as your bill at a farmers' market is likely to be 25 percent more than at a grocery store. All in all, the freshness and quality of food is worth a little more money. Farmers' markets are the way to go.

compare or contrast is my answer. In the text they compared the pros of the grocery store to the farmer market. And contrasted the cons of them.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

There's a clear connection between the way your brain thinks and the way your body feels. Just like you can use your body to reduce your psychological distress, you can also use your mind to improve your body.

Simply changing the way you think and taking charge of what occupies your mind, can improve your physical health and well-being. While positive thinking won't cure everything, a healthy mindset is a key component to a healthy bodyAnd they lead to emotion-driven behavior such as avoidance, withdrawal, aggression, etc, which can perpetuate the cycle of emotional pain.

Changing your experience with overwhelming emotions starts with changing your behaviors – how you think and how you act and letting go of some old coping mechanisms that no longer work.

Recently, my family when to the beach. This would be more common in the summer, but because it is fall, there was almost no one else there.

I dipped my finger in the water to feel it, which would normally be I would have to get splashed by the waves to get close enough, but not today. Instead, today the water was still, just full of little ripples. It was about the time for the sunset, but you could hardly see it because of the clouds covering it.  

Within the recent past, my family went to the beach. This would be more common in the summer, but because it is fall, there was almost no one else there. The sky was clouded over and it made the whole place look eerie. The sand felt almost like snow, with a similar texture and temperature they shared. The water pretty calm, with no crashing waves, just little ripples near the edge. On a day like this there is usually wind, but not today. Instead, the air felt still and silent. I looked a the muted sunset, which was covered by the clouds, making the usually bright and vibrant sunset instead full of pastels. Even though the sun was darker than usual, it still managed to light up the shimmering water below.

What is one thing you should do to analyze emotional appeals?
A) Determine whether the author's reasoning, evidence, and/or claim are valid.

B) Decide whether the emotional appeals are logical in light of the author's reasoning, evidence, and/or claim.
C) Identify how emotions used by the author make you feel about the issue.

D) Ask yourself whether the author's purpose is fully supported by emotional appeals.

Answers

Answer:

D) Ask yourself whether the author's purpose is fully supported by emotional appeals.

Explanation:

the answer is D because of process of elimination. A is like you can't determine whether the author's claims are valid or not because you don't know the author, you don't know what the author was thinking throughout their writing the book. B emotions aren't too logical, you can't decide for a character in the novel whether their emotions are logical in that moment. and finally C this has nothing to do with the question. identifying how the story and the emotion makes you feel will not help you analyze the emotional appeals because just because the story and the emotions make you feel a certain way will not help you analyze what's going on in the story and what the author meant, it will just help you with your own emotions lol. and D yes you should ask yourself whether the author's purpose is fully supported by the emotional appeals. this is basically saying make sure all the points are lined up in the story and see how each character's emotions come into play and that should help you answer and analyze emotional appeals in the novel.

Answer:

Ask yourself whether the author's purpose is fully supported by emotional appeals.

After two years,Nepali media branded the situation a'failure'.Give two reasons to support the statement.(from the lesson After the Nepal Earthquake:Survivors and Heros)​

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Although the earthquakes that hit Nepal could not be prevented, the problems caused by them remained active even after two years. This was due to a major failure in the Nepalese government and the international community.

The Nepalese government has not been effective in sending aid to families affected by the thermotactics, allowing for further damage to be done. These families did not receive adequate support and were left homeless in places with very precarious structures that stimulated health, social, humanitarian and economic problems.

There were also shortcomings in the international community that turned a blind eye to the situation in Nepal and did not contribute to any solution or humanitarian aid, completely ignoring the situation in the country, since it is not a potential.

Who is most likely the main audience for a documentary on global warming?

A) women
B) young children
C) school principals
D) adults

CLASS: English 1B

Answers

Answer: I believe your answer would be “d” adults

Answer: B) young children

Documentaries are one avenue for education, which is suitable for young minds. Also, it's important they understand what the world may be like later down the road when they get older. Unfortunately the process of climate change is something we all have to deal with young or old. The younger generation will be more effected because the older generations will die off by that time in the later future.

One could argue that adults are a good audience as well. This is because adults would have a more serious mindset. Though I think they may not see it as important if the documentary is talking about some far off date in the future. It will depend on the person of course. Not everyone is the same.

We can definitely rule out choices A and C because global warming effects everyone, and not just women or principals.
