GA wind farm in Iowa buys a large turbine generator from a Swedish-owned factory located in Connecticut that uses workers who live in Connecticut. As a result,
answer : us investment increase
Answer: c)US investment and GDP increase by same amount but US GNP increases by smaller amount
Explanation:
Investment refers to the resources invested by the private sector in the Economy as well as the Capital Expenditure in the economy to build structures such as roads, Powerplants, hospitals, etcetera.
GA Wind farm buying a large turbine generator is considered an Investment and therefore increases US Investments.
Investment is also a key component of Gross Domestic Product ( GDP) calculation and so when Investment increases, so does GDP and by the same amount.
Gross National Product is another Economic measure that works almost like GDP. While GDP measures the amount of final goods and services in a country within a period, Gross National Product measures the GDP but then adds any income earned by citizens of the country in foreign lands whilst subtracting any income earned by foreign residents in the country of interest.
Because the Swedish factory will repatriate some of the profits made on the sale of the large turbine generator, this will reduce the US GNP so that it will not be the same amount as the GDP. It will however increase Sweden's GNP.

Textbooks are written for many reasons, not the least of which is the publisher royalties that are paid to the author(s). Publishers are eager to enforce "fair use" laws that prohibit students from copying materials offered in a given text. Discuss your interpretation of the fair use laws and how you think they relate to students. Are they fair? Also consider how you would interpret the laws if you were the author.
Answer:
Explanation:
(A) My personal interpretation or view of the Fair Use laws is that they prevent privacy.
(B) How do these laws relate to students? Students are one of the main recipients or users of textbooks.
(C) Are the Fair Use laws fair to students? Yes, but not so much. Students are most times required by their teachers/instructors to write on assigned topics, without copying large volume of content from a material or textbook. The Fair Use laws also seek to establish this, hence students are a bit confined. The laws state that if more than 10% of or 500 words from the text are to be used, credit should be given to the author(s).
(D) If I were an author, my interpretation of the Fair Use laws would be that the laws are in place, to prevent copiers from harming the commercial value of the book.
In the novel Frankenstein, what does the creature’s connection to nature suggest about him? A. It suggests that he has an artistic appreciation for nature. B. It suggests that he appreciates and enjoys beautiful things. C. It suggests that he is connected to Victor and has human feelings. D. It suggests that he wants to possess nature and feels it belongs to him.
Answer:
C. It suggests that he is connected to Victor and has human feelings.
Explanation:
In the novel, Frankenstein, the creature's connection to nature suggests that he is connected to Victor and has human feelings because even though he is created from the dead, some human feelings remain in him, such as love, hatred and sometimes he even feels lonely.
The creature, even with all its flaws shows feelings and a certain peculiar connection to Victor.
Answer:
In Frankenstein Mary Shelley often compares and contrasts Victor and the creature.
Mary Shelley uses birth and labor imagery to suggest that Victor gave birth to the creature. For example, Victor goes into confinement for nine months to create the monster. Victor and his monster child are alike in some ways and different in others.
One of the major traits shared by Victor and his monster is their love of nature. Both Victor and his creature express their joy in nature.
The creature expresses his joy when spring arrives: "Spring advanced rapidly; the weather became fine, and the skies cloudless. It surprised me that what before was desert and gloomy should now bloom with the most beautiful flowers and verdure. My senses were gratified and refreshed by a thousand scents of delight, and a thousand sights of beauty."
Frankenstein expresses similar emotions: "When happy, inanimate nature had the power of bestowing on me the most delightful sensations. A serene sky and verdant fields filled me with ecstasy. The present season was indeed divine; the flowers of spring bloomed in the hedges, while those of summer were already in bud."
Both Frankenstein and the creature have the ability to forget sorrows and disappointments when they are in nature. After he is cruelly rejected by the De Lacey family, the monster is miserable. But he regains his hope when he feels the warmth of the sun: "The pleasant sunshine, and the pure air of day, restored me to some degree of tranquility; and when I considered what had passed at the cottage, I could not help believing that I had been too hasty in my conclusions."
In a similar way, nature allows Frankenstein to forget the guilt and horror that has haunted him since the creature’s creation. Victor tells Walton, “I perceived that the fallen leaves had disappeared, and that the young buds were shooting forth from the trees that shaded my window. It was a divine spring; and the season contributed greatly to my convalescence. I felt also sentiments of joy and affection revive in my bosom; my gloom disappeared.”

Select the three incorrectly used colons and semi-colons in the extract below. There are many different tours that offer a more interesting; and healthy; way of getting around: the Darwin 7- day dash: the Mawson Trail; and the Bondi bike ride are just three of our most popular options."
Answer:
There are many different tours that offer a more interesting; and healthy; way of getting around: the Darwin 7- day dash: the Mawson Trail; and the Bondi bike ride are just three of our most popular options."
Explanation:
The above sentence is wrongly punctuated as it employs the colon and semicolon wrongly.
Colons(:) are used for various purposes like separating two independent clauses or to introduce a list or series of items while semicolon is employed to connect two independent clauses which convey complete thoughts together.
In the given sentence, semicolons are wrongly employed after 'interesting', 'healthy', and 'Mawson Trail' as it is separating the elements of the sentence which destroys the meaning of the sentence. The Colon is also used incorrectly after 'the Darwin 7-day dash' as it is introducing the list inappropriately.
In order to rectify these errors, the semicolons would be removed from the prior clause and in the latter clause, the incorrect colon and semicolon would be replaced with a comma(,) to separate the items of the list. After rectifying these errors, the sentence reads as:
There are many different tours that offer a more interesting and healthy way of getting around: the Darwin 7- day dash, the Mawson Trail, and the Bondi bike ride are just three of our most popular options."

Tell me 3 differences between comic books and graphic novels.
Answer:
See explanation...
Explanation:
Both comic books and graphic novels use a combination of illustrations and words to tell a story. That story can be anything, whether it’s fiction or non-fiction, the tale of a superhero or of a zombie apocalypse. The difference isn’t so much in the content, but in the presentation.
Comic books are serialised stories; most are relatively short, and tell the story of the book’s heroes and heroines over a long period of time. There are usually many, many issues of a successful comic book, and the stories unfold over months and sometimes years.
Graphic novels are longer works that tell a single story from the beginning to the end. (Sometimes, successful comic books will be collected and packaged in a graphic novel format.) Because stories don’t have to be broken up over countless issues, plots can often be more complex and more detailed, as readers don’t have to remember details for anywhere from months to years while reading. Manga is a type of graphic novel, a Japanese graphic novel that is read from top to bottom and right to left since that is how the Japanese language is read.

Of light divine be a rich portion lent
To guide my soul, and favour my intent.

To thee from tortured souls arise.

What can be determined from this dialogue? Miss Petrocelli has proven something. The judge respects Miss Petrocelli. Miss Petrocelli is willing to use improper tactics to win her case. The judge thinks that Briggs is a better lawyer than Petrocelli is.
Answer:
Miss Petrocelli is willing to use improper tactics to win her case.
Explanation:
Dean Myers' drama novel Monster revolves around the murder trial of the narrator 16-year-old Steve Harmon and his involvement in an act that led to his depiction as a monster by everyone. The novel focuses on the justice system, identity, racial belonging, and the truth behind the rest of the story.
In the given discourse between the lawyers in court, Miss Petrocelli's implication that King is "acquainted with everyone involved in the robbery" is greatly objected by his lawyer Asa Briggs. And when the judge reiterates that she "do(es) know better", he meant that she is walking on dangerous ground and should not make such claims as to directly implicate King. This dialogue shows that Miss Petrocelli is not afraid to use improper tactics to get her way and try to win the case.
