Read the following passage from The First Men in the Moon.

An intermittent trickle of water dropped ever and again between the bars near my face.

My first endeavour was naturally to see what might be upon the floor of the cavern, but our grating lay in a depression whose rim hid all this from our eyes.

Which of the following synonyms could replace grating as it is used in the passage above?

harsh
irritant
shreds
grill

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Grill

Explanation:

This seems odd, however this excerpt is describing something physical and also the word depression does not mean a mental illness, but instead a “sunken place or hollow on a surface”. Grill is also a synonym for grate/grating.

Explanation:

Question:  Which sentence best reflects Ziauddin Yousufzai’s view of his daughter’s writing?

A lot of people are saying it's B if this is the question I think it is but B doesn't actually make sense for this question.

The quote from answer choice B is "My father said that some days ago someone brought the printout of this diary saying how wonderful it was,".

However, in this part of the story, the father was not sharing his opinion or his viewpoint about the diary but only repeating what someone else had said.

The quote from answer choice C is "My father smiled, but could not even say that it was written by his daughter"

The fact that her father smiled about it shows that he was happy and proud of his daughter. Her father also seemed disappointed because he was able to say that it was written by his daughter because he was proud of her.

hope this helps :)

Hey guys, new user here. I just wanted to ask in Marrakech by George Orwell, what do the Arabs think of the Jews? Regards-Brian

Answers

Answer:

Arabs did not think about Jews and positively. Primarily because of any historical and social issue between them and because the "myth of the Aryan" had spread throughout Arab culture, promoting a negative outlook on Jews.

Explanation:

The problems between the Arabs and the Jews began since the end of the 19th century and were strengthened during and after the Second World War, when the Jews were presented as an inferior and deprecated race. In addition, during the second world war, the "Aryan myth" was spread in an influential way by many cultures, mainly the cultures considered smaller and weaker, as the Arab culture was considered at the time.

This "Aryan myth" placed white and unmixed ethnicities as superiors, which made the Jews even less so.

Let's say you're testing a new drug to see if it helps with depression. We'll have 200 people split into two groups of 100 each. The first 100 people get the new pill, while the remaining 100 people get a placebo (sugar pill). Each participant does not know whether they are taking the actual drug or the sugar pill. This is important.

The control group is the group of people taking the sugar pill. This is to counterbalance the experimental group that takes the actual drug. If we just had one group, say the experimental group, then we wouldn't be able to compare those results against anything else.

Now let's say that everyone, in both groups, reported better moods and more positive attitude. This would strongly imply that the new drug is not effective because people who took the sugar pill got better. In other words, the sugar pill is as effective if not more so compared to the new drug. It may be the sugar pill, the psychology of taking any pill, or some other factors that contributed to those people getting better.

If only the people in the experimental group got better, then we could conclude that the drug is effective in some way. Again, we're making a comparison between the two groups, and the control group is used to reduce the placebo effect.

QuickWrite What does it mean to "be free"?

Answers

Answer:

To be free has a lot of meaning, one could be, be free of responsibility or choice. In my opinion to be free means, to have the ability to do something without someone questioning my actions or try to stop me from doin g my actions. I can learn whatever I want and think how I want. I can talk how I want and have my own opinions without predijuice or bias against me. Be free is a very open statement that can be taken from a very moderate view of everyone has an opinion and no one can put you in jail for it to a very extremism view, like the book The Giver, where everyone doesn't make choices and the world is the same. Everyone would be free of this modern society in that book and be free from the burden of making money, hard choices, or how to live under weird conditions. Everyone follows instructions on how to live their daily lives. How to work, how to live, how to do most things. A book dictates what happens to criminals who break their laws people are free from deciding almost everything. Who they live, who they work with, what they learn, or how they learn. That is the term 'be free' in extremism. That is what it means to be free.

Freedom is defined as either having the capacity to act or change without restriction or having the strength and resources to pursue one's goals without interference.

How to become a free person?

Pay attention to the things that matter most to you. If you do, you won't care what people think or say about you. When you don't place value on material things, you stop caring about what other people think and how they act. Therefore, you are unable to be annoyed by or at odds with them.

Because they are self-aware, a free person will disregard criticism from others. They also avoid giving people with domineering and imposing personalities an excessive amount of power. People with a sense of freedom refuse to succumb to unimportant obligations and peer pressure.

help me with a persuasive essay about women’s rights

Answers

Answer:  There is long history of women rights in the world. There is women discrimination from a long time ago. It has been developed for a long time, but there are still discrimination against women. I think many women are still distressed by discrimination. How have women’s rights changed?

           Between 1848 and 1920, there was firstwomen’s rights movement in the U.S. At that time, women did not have the right to vote. Thus, women could not help to make society or law. They did not have any voice. Many women joined the first women rights movement to get the right to vote. The women picketed in front of the White House to pressure the president. It took a very long time and many women were arrested because of picketing. Finally, women got the right to vote.

           A long time ago, women could not work outside because of the law. Women had to stay home and do housework. The book written by Betty Friedan showed women’s real feelings. Many women were not happy about their lives, and they wanted choice and freedom. Then, the second women’s rights movement occurred. Finally, women got a choice to work outside or stay home.

           Today, there are still problems for women. One of the big problems is sexual harassment. Many women have jobs outside, and they get sexual harassment by their bosses. It is a very common problem, and it is the worst problem for women. Also, there is unfair payment between men and women. Many women work with men, they work the same time as men, and they have the same abilities as men. However, there salaries are different. Men get more than women sometimes. It is not fair. Before, men worked for supporting their families, but now, women work for supporting their families too. Thus, it must be same amount of payment.

           In conclusion, women’s rights have become better, but there are still some issues. I think women should have a voice to talk about their problems. That is the major way to solve the problems. In addition, women should go to areas of high position in politics, business, and education. I think when the same number of women and men belong to the area of politics, business, and education, it will make a fair society and country. I hope it becomes true, so it will make a beautiful world for everyone.
