The cost of bagels has gone up dramatically since the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, the number of bagels that disappear without being paid for has also gone up. Don’t let that continue. I don’t imagine that you would teach your children to cheat, so why do it yourselves? The excerpt serves as which type of support for the authors’ argument?

This question is missing the previous part of the excerpt and the answer options. I have found the complete question online. The part that you already posted will be omitted, replaced with . . .

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner's "Freakonomics":

In the real world, Feldman learned to settle for less than 95 percent. He came to consider a company as "honest" if its payment rate was above 90 percent. He considered a rate between 80 and 90 percent "annoying but tolerable." If a company habitually paid below 80 percent, Feldman might post a hectoring note, like this one:

. . .

A. a claim

B. an example

C. a conclusion

D. a counterclaim

Answer:

The excerpt serves a:

B. an example

Explanation:

The excerpt in the question serves as an example for the passage posted above.

Feldman is a man who leaves baskets with bagels at companies for people to take them and pay for them. He does not stay at the company, however, to make sure people will pay. He would rather trust their honesty. But, if people begin to take the bagels without paying to the point where Feldman only makes between 80 to 90 percent of the money he should make, he leaves them a note.

When the authors talk about Feldman's note, the phrase "like this one" shows that the excerpt is an example of a type of note Feldman might use to increase payment by appealing to people's honesty.

Summarization of act 1 scene 1-3 in “As You Like It”

Answers

Answer:

Rosalind is depressed over the banishment of her father, Duke Senior. Her cousin, Celia, attempts to cheer her up. Celia promises that as the sole heir of the usurping Duke Frederick, she will give the throne to Rosalind upon his death. In gratitude, Rosalind promises to be less melancholy, and the two women wittily discuss the roles of “Fortune” and “Nature” in determining the circumstances of one’s life (I.ii.26–47). They are interrupted by the court jester, Touchstone, who mockingly tells of a knight without honor who still swore by it. Le Beau, a dapper young courtier, also arrives and intrigues them with the promise of a wrestling match featuring the phenomenal strength and skill of the wrestler Charles.

The match’s participants enter with many members of the court, including Duke Frederick, who cordially greets Rosalind and Celia. The duke remarks on the danger Charles’s young challenger faces, and he suggests that the girls attempt to dissuade the present challenger from his effort to defeat the wrestler. Rosalind and Celia agree and call to the young man, who turns out to be Orlando. Try as they might, they cannot sway him. He remains deaf to their pleas and speaks as if he has absolutely nothing to lose. Orlando and Charles wrestle, and Orlando quickly defeats his opponent. Amazed, Duke Frederick asks Orlando to reveal his identity. When Orlando responds that he is the youngest son of Sir Rowland de Bois, the duke laments that he wishes Orlando had been someone else’s son, admitting that he and Sir Rowland were enemies. Rosalind and Celia rush in to offer their congratulations, and Rosalind admits how deeply her father admired Orlando’s father. In the exchange, Orlando and Rosalind become mutually smitten, though both are too tongue-tied to confess their feelings.

Indeed, it is this very freedom that Rosalind seeks as she departs for the Forest of Ardenne: “Now go we in content, / To liberty, and not to banishment” (I.iii.131–132). By christening herself Ganymede, Rosalind underscores the liberation that awaits her in the woods. Ganymede is the name of Jove’s beautiful young male page and lover, and the name is borrowed in other works of literature and applied to beautiful young homosexuals. But while the name links Rosalind to a long tradition of homosexuals in literature, it does not necessarily confine her to an exclusively homosexual identity. To view Rosalind as a lesbian who settles for a socially sanctifying marriage with Orlando, or to view Celia as her jilted lover, is to relegate both of them to the unpleasantly restrictive quarters of contemporary sexual politics. The Forest of Ardenne is big enough to embrace both homosexual and heterosexual desires—it allows for both, for all, rather than either/or.

Identify the clause
John and Sara were selected as partners for a project,yet Sarah did most of the work

Answers

Answer:

The sentence has two independent clauses.

Explanation:

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb and can function as an adverb, adjective, or noun. There are different types of clauses depending on their function and form.

The given statement is "John and Sara were selected as partners for a project, yet Sarah did most of the work."

Here, the sentence has two independent clauses- "John and Sara were selected as partners for a project" and "Sarah did most of the work" joined by a coordinating conjunction "yet".

And looking at the structure of the sentence, we can determine that it is a compound sentence.

18. Describe two strategies that can help you make better use of the revision stage of the writing process

Answers

Revise by yourself then ask someone else to revise the writing. It would be good to have someone with a different thought process than you. That person will normally spot out other things in the writing you might have not noticed.

Don't be afraid to make big changes in the writing! If you do not like a paragraph and wish to delete then it's ok, you can also rewrite the paragraph as you see fit or you can move it around to a different place in the writing. You can also do that before making small changes like grammar, spelling, and formatting.

I'll send somebody 60 dollars if they can write me an essay about the "landlady by Roald Dahl" LOOK IN THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU START WRITING!!

Answers

Essay is right here:

“The Landlady” is a short story by the lauded children’s author, Roald Dahl. Dahl is the author of many great, well-known works, such as The BFG, The Witches, Matilda, and perhaps most notably, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. “The Landlady” is a short story that truly exemplifies Dahl’s wonderful grasp of the short story genre, however. It is the story of a young man named Billy Weaver, who has been sent to live in Bath by his employer. The primary focus of young Billy at the beginning of the story is Billy’s attempt to find lodgings; he settles on a nice bed and breakfast near the train station. The landlady of Billy’s new lodgings is a nice, older woman, who seems grandmotherly to Billy, although there is something strange about the place that Billy cannot seem to grasp, and the landlady herself seems to be a little crazy. Billy suddenly realizes that he knows the names of the other guests in the guestbook; they are all men who have gone missing. At the end of the story, the landlady poisons Billy with potassium cyanide in his tea, with the implication that she is planning on stuffing him and keeping him as part of the house forever.
One of the major themes of Dahl’s “The Landlady” is the theme of how appearances can be deceiving. The story begins with Billy himself considering how he can appear to be a successful businessman; at the beginning of the story, Dahl writes of Billy: “He walked briskly down the street. He was trying to do everything briskly these days. Briskness, he had decided, was the one common characteristic of all successful businessmen. The big shots up at the head office were absolutely fantastically brisk all the time. They were amazing” (Dahl). Billy wants to appear to be a successful businessman, and his appearance is very important to him. However, the importance of appearances-- and the deceptive quality of appearances-- continues as a theme throughout the story. Initially, the landlady herself describes one of the older men as being twenty-eight, but not appearing to be so. These appearances are very important to the landlady herself, who turns out to be a serial killer, killing all the young men who stay in her house. The landlady only invites young, handsome men to stay, and she seems to have a preference for a certain type, which again refers to the theme of appearances and how important they are to the characters in the story. Dahl even describes the animals in the story as appearing to be alive, although they have all been stuffed:
“That parrot,” he said at last. “You know something? It had me completely fooled when I first saw it through the window. I could have sworn it was alive.”

“Alas, no longer.”
“It’s most terribly clever the way it’s been done,” he said. “It doesn’t look in the least bit dead. Who did it?”

“I did.”
“You did?”
“Of course,” she said. (Dahl)
This exchange is very important, because it is the first time that Billy begins to get a sense of just how ominous the landlady really is; although she appears to be a nice, harmless old lady, she is quite adept at the art of taxidermy, and is completely willing to stuff her pets as they pass away. She even seems willing to keep them posed as if they were still alive. This is the not the first instance of foreshadowing in the text, but it does reflect the growing tension in the story, and also finally gives the reader a sense that the landlady is, indeed, more than she seems to be. The landlady is initially described as a cheerful older woman, and it is this appearance that makes her eventual murder of Billy so masterfully creepy. The theme of deception and appearances also ties into the theme of naivete and youth; the landlady is able to lull Billy and her previous victims into a sense of false security. Indeed, Billy is young and strong, and if the landlady had attacked him, he would have been able to defend himself easily. However, he falls right into her trap as a result of her kindly demeanor, even though she clearly has anything but his best intentions at heart. Billy’s character is naive because he can see that the landlady is clearly not altogether sane; he even comments on her oddity at the beginning of the story. However, he still takes the tea from her, and finishes an entire cup even though he doesn’t like the tea and it tastes “faintly of bitter almonds” (Dahl). Even to the end of the story, Billy can’t place the names of the other boys who the landlady killed; he thinks he may be able to, but he allows the landlady’s demeanor to put him off what his instincts are telling him. The audience feels the inexorable movement towards Billy’s inevitable death, and it is frustrating and enthralling at the same time.
