In 1970, Americans spent about $6 billion on fast food


Which sentence correctly paraphrases the source information

Answers

Answer:About 6$ billion was spent  on fast food in 1970

Explanation:

The sentence that most adequately paraphrases the source information would be:

- In 1970, Americans spent about $6 billion on fast food; in 2001, they spent more than $110 billion.

'Paraphrasing' is described as the restatement or reiteration of the idea or essence of a particular text using different words from what the speaker originally said. The sentence 'In 1970...billion' most appropriately restates the idea of the speaker that there were about 6 billion dollars amount was spent on the consumption of fast food by Americans while the number grew to 110 billion dollars in the year 2001. Thus, it successfully conveys the idea of the speaker through different words and structures without quoting his words directly.

The new document states: (S) Forty-thousand troops will approach Ilkeborg from the west, and another 40,000 will approach from the east.

The concept used is Contained in.

Explanation:

Derivative classification can be defined as the process of making use of an existing classified information and restating in a new form and creating a new material which should be consistent with the classification markings on the previous information with the source markings present.

Therefore, the new outcome of 40,000 is contained in the source markings, The figure part is derived from the source. 'Contained in' shows that their is no additional interpretation needed in order to classify the information.

Hence, the answer is Contained in the source.

What category does the following comment fit best in? "The problem with the film is that it is difficult to get past the sloppy editing and amateurish cinematography." authenticity universality subject matter aesthetics

Answers

Answer:

aesthetics

Explanation:

Aesthetics are all about how something looks. So, "sloppy editing and amateurish cinematography" in a movie is exactly what aesthetics are. The aesthetics for the movie look bad.

Authenticity is being real and original. It is being your true self. I don't think the comment is talking about themself, the writer, but more about the movie.

Universality is being true in all forms. The comment for the movie doesn't work the same for other things, such as school or sports. It isn't universal.

Subject matter is about the topic. It is the main idea of the thing being discussed. The comment doesn't focus on the main idea of the movie, bad rather its looks: the editing and cinematography. It doesn't talk about the theme of the movie, the message, the actors, the characters, or the characterization.

Aesthetics are what this comment is about. It's about how the movie looks like.

Turner is in conflict with his father because Turner does not want to become a minister. the reverend is always critical of him. Turner does not like to explore on his own. the reverend yells at him from the pulpit.

Answers

Answer:

Turner is in conflict with his father the reverend is always critical of him.

Explanation:

Gary D. Schmidt's historical fiction "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" revolves around the life of Turner and his friendship with a black girl named Lizzie Bright Griffin. Even though his father and all of Phippsburg are still against the intermingling of whites and blacks, Turner is not like them. This story delves deep into the friendship between the two youngsters amidst the racism in their respective societies.

As given in the passage, Turner's late arrival will be taken by his father as a sign that his son is trying everything to embarrass him. Even though he is a reverend and supposed to 'love everyone', he nevertheless believes in racial discrimination even though he might not like to admit. And as such, he doesn't like his son mingling with people from the Malaga islands. Turner's view that "his father would stand on the porch and look at him in a way that said Turner would never be the kind of son he had hoped for—it would be as loud as if he had just announced it from the pulpit" reveals how Turner and his father seems to be at conflict with one another. The reverend seems to be always critical of Turner, and the mindset that he has even before Turner could explain his situation all support it.

Answer: B) the reverend is always critical of him.

Which sentences uses deductive reasoning

Answers

Answer:

Some would argue deductive reasoning is an important life skill. It allows you to take information from two or more statements and draw a logically sound conclusion.

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning is a type of deduction used in science and in life. It is when you take two true statements, or premises, to form a conclusion. For example, A is equal to B. B is also equal to C. Given those two statements, you can conclude A is equal to C using deductive reasoning.  

Now, let’s look at a real-life example.  

All dolphins are mammals.  All mammals have kidneys.

some more examples

Everyday life often tests our powers of deductive reasoning. Did you ever wonder when you'd need what you learned in algebra class? Well, if nothing else, those lessons were meant to stretch our powers of deductive reasoning. Remember, if a = b and b = c, then a = c. Let's flesh that out with added examples: All numbers ending in 0 or 5 are divisible by 5. The number 35 ends with a 5, so it must be divisible by 5. All birds have feathers. All robins are birds. Therefore, robins have feathers. It's dangerous to drive on icy streets. The streets are icy now, so it would be dangerous to drive on the streets. All cats have a keen sense of smell. Fluffy is a cat, so Fluffy has a keen sense of smell. Cacti are plants, and all plants perform photosynthesis. Therefore, cacti perform photosynthesis. Red meat has iron in it, and beef is red meat. Therefore, beef has iron in it. Acute angles are less than 90 degrees. This angle is 40 degrees, so it must be an acute angle. All noble gases are stable. Helium is a noble gas, so helium is stable. Elephants have cells in their bodies, and all cells have DNA. Therefore, elephants have DNA. All horses have manes. The Arabian is a horse; therefore, Arabians have manes.

When writing a summary, remember that it should be in the form of a paragraph. A summary begins with an introductory sentence that states the text's title, author and main point of the text as you see it. A summary is written in your own words. A summary contains only the ideas of the original text.

As you start to write the summary, keep the following in mind:

- Write in present tense.

- Include the author and title of the work.

- Be concise—a summary should not be equal in length to the original text.

- Cite direct quotes if you use them.

- Don't put your own opinions, ideas, or interpretations into the summary.

Read the excerpt from Roosevelt’s Executive Order No. 9066.Whereas the successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage to national-defense material, national-defense premises, and national-defense utilities as defined in Section 4, Act of April 20, 1918, 40 Stat. 533, as amended by the Act of November 30, 1940, 54 Stat. 1220, and the Act of August 21, 1941, 55 Stat. 655 (U.S.C., Title 50, Sec. 104).What assumption is Roosevelt making in this paragraph?

Answers

Answer:

The assumption Roosevelt is making is:

The US is under threat of espionage and sabotage.

Explanation:

The Executive Order 9066 was signed by President Roosevelt during World War II. Its purpose was to incarcerate Japanese Americans, Italian Americans, and German Americans in military zones, far from the West Coast. In this particular passage, President Roosevelt expresses the need to protect the country against espionage and sabotage. According to him, such protection is crucial in times of war. Since the USA were at war, it seems natural for the president to assume the nation is being spied on and sabotaged by the enemies. He would rather assume such threat exists and act to prevent or fight it as efficiently as possible.

Based on the information given, the assumption that Roosevelt is making in the excerpt is that The US is under threat of espionage and sabotage.

Information in the excerpt.

It should be noted that The Executive Order 9066 was signed by President Roosevelt during World War II.

The purpose was simply to incarcerate Japanese Americans, and German Americans in military zones, far from the West Coast.

Therefore, the the assumption that Roosevelt is making is that The US is under threat of espionage and sabotage.

Combine the following sentences using appropriate conjunctions to have just one complex sentence? A) Choosing between models is a decision. c) The decision is for the consumer. b) The decision is personal. d) The model types are desktop and laptop.

Answers

Answer:

'Although choosing between the model types like desktop and laptop is a decision for the consumer, the decision is personal.'

Explanation:

Conjunctions are defined as the words that are used to connect two or more words, clauses(principle and subordinate), phrases, or sentences. They are of three types: coordinating conjunction, subordinating conjunction, and correlative conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions like 'and', 'but', 'yet' etc. are employed to join two independent clauses or words and phrases while subordinating conjunction is used in complex sentences to link a dependent clause along with an independent clause. Correlative conjunction are used in pairs. For example, 'between/and', 'but/also', etc.

As per the question, the given sentences could be linked together to form a single complex sentence as:

'Although choosing between the model types like desktop and laptop is a decision for the consumer, the decision is personal.'

Here conjunction 'although' is used to introduce the dependent clause and that is followed by the independent clause to accomplish the meaning.

“La Belle Dame sans Merci: A Ballad” by John Keats

O, what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering? The sedge has withered from the lake, And no birds sing. O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, So haggard and so woe-begone? The squirrel’s granary is full, And the harvest’s done. I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever-dew, And on thy cheeks a fading rose Fast withereth too. I met a lady in the meads Full beautiful—a faery’s child, Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild. I made a garland for her head, And bracelets too, and fragrant zone; She looked at me as she did love, And made sweet moan. I set her on my pacing steed, And nothing else saw all day long, For sidelong would she bend, and sing A faery’s song. She found me roots of relish sweet, And honey wild, and manna-dew, And sure in language strange she said— “I love thee true.” She took me to her elfin grot, And there she wept and sighed full sore, And there I shut her wild wild eyes With kisses four. And there she lullèd me asleep, And there I dreamed—Ah! woe betide!— The latest dream I ever dreamt On the cold hill side. I saw pale kings and princes too, Pale warriors, death-pale were they all; They cried—“La Belle Dame sans Merci Thee hath in thrall!” I saw their starved lips in the gloam, With horrid warning gapèd wide, And I awoke and found me here, On the cold hill’s side. And this is why I sojourn here, Alone and palely loitering, Though the sedge is withered from the lake, And no birds sing.
