Answer 1

Answer:

The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.

Explanation:

Faulty parallelism is an error in the structure of a sentence characterized by two parts of the sentence having different structures.

In spoken communication it can be easily heard, and although the intended meaning of the sentence can be understood, it usually confuses the listener and gives the impression of an uneducated speaker.

However, it can easily be corrected by rewriting sentence using only one structure for both parts. This particular sentence could be rewritten as:

1) The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.

or

2) The scientist received high marks because he was brilliant and because he was humorous.

How would a book written by an anthropologist about an indigenous group of people be different from an autobiography of one of the people's elders?

Answers

Explanation:

A book written by an anthropologist would be less connected to the lives and culture of the people and therefore would be more factual, while an autobiography would be written more personally and include some aspects of the culture in a more specifically connected way.

Education simply means the process of acquiring knowledge by an individual.

Education empowers a person with the required skills, knowledge and mindset needed for the person to contribute positively to his or her nation and the world as a whole.

The deliberate irony Orwell uses is called doublespeak, which is when words are used not to convey meaning – but to undermine it – corrupting the very ideas that they refer to. "War is Peace" is one of 1984's doublespeak slogans. WHAT ARE THE OTHER TWO DOUBLESPEAK SLOGANS? *

Answers

Answer:

Other doublespeak slogans are:

1. Freedom Is Slavery

2. Ignorance Is Strength

Explanation:

George Orwell, in his book, 1984 portrayed the use of doublespeak (doublethink). Doublespeak is a form of language which seeks to deliberately distort and reverse the meaning of words.

In his book, 1984, the Party used doublespeak (doublethink) as part of their campaigning which spreads propaganda and goes further to manipulate the public and even leadership. It is the ability of holding two beliefs that are contradictory and believed to be true.

So, in his book, the doublespeak examples that are seen are: War Is Peace, Freedom Is Slavery and Ignorance Is Strength.

Photosynthesis is the process through which plants produce sugar and oxygen. Photosynthesis can also take place in single-celled organisms like phytoplankton and other microorganisms.
The process of photosynthesis occurs differently from one organism to the next, but several features remain the same. In short, photosynthesis takes in water and carbon dioxide, uses sunlight as a catalyst, and produces oxygen and sugar. The plants release the oxygen through respiration. They digest or store the sugar.
Although the process seems simple, it is the most important event on the planet as far as animal life is concerned. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis. Animals would not be able to breathe if it was not for this process. Herbivores live off these fruits and vegetables and form the basis of any food chain. Carnivores and omnivores would not be able to find food if it were not for these sugars. Were it not for the simple process of photosynthesis, the Earth would be an uninhabited planet.

Animals would not be able to breathe if it was not for this process.
How does this sentence help to develop the idea that photosynthesis is essential to animal life?

A. It shows that animals depend on this process for oxygen.
B. It suggests that photosynthesis occurs in all animals.
C. It suggests that photosynthesis takes place in the lungs.
D. It shows that animals depend on this process for food.

Answers

The answer is A. It shows that animals depend on this process for oxygen.

Photosynthesis is how Carbon dioxide (what we breathe out) is turned into Oxygen (what we breathe in)

If Photosynthesis never took place Oxygen would run out and animals would suffocate.

How are communities shaped by their surroundings

Answers

Explanation:

The environment shapes us unconsciously in more ways than we care to admit. Humans are profoundly social beings and as a result, most of us are constantly surrounded by people and desire social acceptance. For example, one of the most powerful influences of the environment on the person is that it is the cultural environment that determines what a person in that culture is. The environment varies with culture and history and impacts the person that gets in contact with it. We learn to engage in childhood while interacting with our social reality and then is when we learn that we have to follow conventions for social interactions.

And because we are social beings we are highly influenced by those we surround ourselves with. Not only that, but we are also influenced by the natural environment that surrounds us. Everything influences our way of thinking and our opinions: the climate influences our mood, the pollution influences our health, and the natural resources might affect human survival.

Answers

Answer:

What is the period of time in which this story takes place? Where is this story taking place? Is this an urban or rural environment?

Explanation:

The scenario is one of the most important elements of a narrative, because it allows the reader to situate himself within the story, in addition, the scenario can pass on a lot of information that helps to understand the other elements that make up the plot.

One of the main factors of the scenario that the author must determine is the period of time in which the story takes place. This determines whether the scenario is modern or old. This can influence the way the characters act and think, as well as influence the clothes, the houses, the way the characters speak and even the language present in the story. This type of influence can also be seen when the author determines where that story takes place, which in addition to what has already been mentioned, can influence the cultural aspects and habits of the characters.

Lastly, it is important to determine whether the scenario is urban or rural, this can change the whole history since the elements that make up the urban scenario are totally different from those that make up the rural scenario.

How does the description of Madame Carambeau’s house in paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the meaning of the passage?

Answers

This question is about "A Matter of Prejudice".

Answer:

The description of the house shows how old and outdated it was, just like its owner Madame Carambeau.

Explanation:

Madame Carambeau is a woman full of prejudices, old-fashioned, snobbish and intolerant. She lives within old concepts that no longer fit within today's society and this causes her to stop enjoying many good and happy things that life can offer, such as keeping a family together, having friends and keeping in touch with her own son. .

The old-fashioned way that Madame Carambeau lives can be seen even in her home, which has an outdated and somewhat old model by the standards where the story takes place.

They were themselves a fair and happy spectacle, fit priest and priestess for such a shrine, although, making poetry of the pretty name of Lilias, Adam Forrester was wont to call her "Lily" because her form was as fragile and her cheek almost as pale. As they passed hand in hand down the avenue of drooping elms that led from the portal of Lilias Fay's paternal mansion they seemed to glance like winged creatures through the strips of sunshine, and to scatter brightness where the deep shadows fell.

What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?
O to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs
to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests
to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture
gulls
Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult
than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always,
Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a
tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing
pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might
put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile
eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest
and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the
fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited
for the retum of the bird in need of rebanding. When the
moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose
around the gulls legs.
O to emphasize the materials that Larry used
