Read this passage. Explain how the writer's choice words helps readers see that the Gleasons were not used to eating like Chinese people. I I glanced at Meg, to see if she needed more food, and my eyes nearly popped out at the sight of her plate. It was piled with food: the sweet-and-sour meat pushed right against the chicken shreds, and the chicken sauce ran into the prawns. She had been taking food from a second dish before she finished eating her helping from the first! Horrified, I turned to look at Mrs. Gleason. She was dumping rice out of her bowl and putting it on her dinner plate. Then she ladled prawns and gravy on top of the rice and mixed everything together, the way you mix sand, gravel, and cement to make concrete. I couldn't bear to look any longer, and I turned to Mr. Gleason. He was chasing a pea around his plate. Several times he got it to the edge, but when he tried to pick it up with his chopsticks, it rolled back toward the center of the plate again. Finally he put down his chopsticks and picked up the pea with his fingers. He really did! A grown man!​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The writer shows the narrator's surprise at the Gleasons' eating habits by saying that her "eyes nearly popped out." She provides descriptive examples, including Mr. Gleason eating with his fingers. The word choice makes it clear that the narrator recognizes that her approach to eating Chinese food is different from the Gleasons'.

Explanation:

This is the sample response. I suggest you put it in your own words because I learned the teacher checks it.

Answer 2

The Gleasons were not used to eating like Chinese people but their Chinese eating etiquette is perceived as different by the American people.

After identifying the purpose of your message, you should select the most appropriate communication channel. When determining the most effective channel for your message, which of the following should you consider? Check all that apply. Degree of formality desired Receiver’s preference and level of technical expertise Necessity of a permanent record Importance of the message How long it will take to write the message Amount of effort involved Importance of the font choice

Answers

Answer:

Receiver’s preference and level of technical expertise

Explanation:

This is very important because any well prepared information presented using a communication channel that the target audience does not use or prefer is a wasted effort.

For example, a company that wants to target elderly people with its products, having been aware through a survey that they prefer television ads to online ads. Which means that because of their limited technical expertise, a tv ad is the best channel of communication.

Who is the author and target audience? How does the ad appeal to the target audiences' values? What is necessary context to know about the ad? What was going on in the country around that time? What was the national conversation about? What kairotic moment does the ad seize upon and how does it use it?

Answers

Answer:

1. The author of the information contained in the video is Mitt Romney and the target audience is women who intend to vote for Romney. 2. The announcement shows that Romney is opposed to several women's rights. 3. The context needed to understand the announcement is that a debate was taking place between Romney and Obama. 4. The country was going through the campaign season for the presidential election. 5. The national conversation was about labor rights. 6. The kairotic moment that the announcement takes advantage of is the phrase "Binders full of women." The announcement takes advantage of this to show Romney's disrespect and alienation in relation to women's rights.

Explanation:

The question refers to the announcement of the second presidential debate between Romney and Obama, where it shows a short summary of the projects that Romney wants to implement, if elected, in relation to women's labor rights.

The video is authored by those responsible for Obama's advertising campaign, but the information contained in the video is authored by Romney. The video shows Romney's disregard for women's rights and aims to show women who wish to vote for him, how much they will be harmed if he wins the election.

Their wages wouldn’t even get them out of debt to my grandmother, not to mention the staggering bill that waited on them at the white commissary downtown. The sound of empty cotton sacks dragging over the floor and the murmurs of waking people were sliced by the cash register as we rang up five cent sales. One man was going to pick two hundred pounds of cotton, and another three hundred.

Answers

Answer: Their wages wouldn’t even get them out of debt to my grandmother, not to mention the staggering bill that waited on them at the white commissary downtown.

Explanation:

By stating that the town's cotton pickers had wages that could not even get them out of debt with their grandmother, Maya Angelou infers that the cotton pickers were paid meagre salaries which meant they were poor people who were even in debt with the White Commissary downtown which probably supplied them with their farming equipment.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is an autobiography of Maya Angelou depicting her life as a child growing up with her momma ( grandmother).

Coach Peterson looked over his players with pride. "Eureka City
Badgers," he said, "the time to win now. Are you with me? I said, 'Are

defense. We're going to stop their offense in its tracks. And we're going
to make the coach of the Wildcats wish he hadn't left home today! Let's
get out there and take the field!"

onto the fresh turf, ready for battle. They lost to the Greenwood
Wildcats 72 to 0.

A. The Wildcats cheat in order to secure victory.
B. The Badgers play with all their heart, which is what matters.

C. The coach is able to excite and motivate his team.
O D. The Eureka City Badgers lose to the Greenwood Wildcats.

Answers

Answer:

O D. The Eureka City Badgers lose to the Greenwood Wildcats.

Explanation:

As seen in the given passage, the initial feeling of excitement and adrenaline is what the players of Eureka City Badgers will feel. With the commanding yet encouraging words of Coach Paterson, they will no doubt feel that they have the ability to win.

But as the passage ends, we know that they lose the game 72 to 0. Not only do they lost to the other team, but they also failed to score any points. This, despite the energetically charged encouragement and 'confidence' instilled in the Coach's words. So, the conflict of the Coach's words and expectations and the end result is resolved by the simple statement at the end- "They lost to the Greenwood Wildcats 72 to 0".

Thus, the conflict in the passage is resolved when the Eureka City Badgers were defeated by the Greenwood Wildcats.

Beck's point can be seen as a generalization of some remarks made in "Astrology," in the paragraph mentioning Mars and Neptune. For example, as the "home" of the ancient god of the oceans, Neptune is associated with water and by further analogy also with indecisiveness. According to Beck, astrology cannot justify these associations. This suggests a way of repairing the fourth criticism of astrology by revising it as follows: (*) Astrology is a pseudoscience because it is in large part based on observations of analogies between aspects of nature, and astrology cannot justify these analogies. What's wrong with this criticism (*) as an attempt to show that astrology is a pseudoscience?

Answers

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

a. Beck relies on an analogy himself when he says that astrological claims cannot be justified in the same way as are claims in chemistry and physics that rely on the periodic table. In saying this, he assumes that there is a disanalogy between astrology and real science.  b. There could be scientific theories that rely on enlightening and instructive analogies but which themselves do not have the resources to justify those analogies.  c. Beck makes the same mistake as is made in criticizing astrology as an excuse-generator for the missed predictions of astrologers. When he says “because astrologers have agreed that … ” he is criticizing the proponents of a theory and not the theory itself.  d. This proposal ignores the fact that astrology is also in large part concerned with making accurate astronomical observations where analogy is not involved.

Answer:

b. There could be scientific theories that rely on enlightening and instructive analogies but which themselves do not have the resources to justify those analogies.  

Explanation:

There are scientific theories that are based on analogies and do not have a complete justification for these analogies. This is exactly what makes them theories, that is, they do not have concrete proof and 100% testified. Like the theory of evolution, among others.

However, this does not mean that astrology cannot be considered a pseudoscience. Since scientific theories show their analogies based on scientific concepts, which astrology does not do.

How is the word befriended broken down into morphemes?a. be+friendedb. be+friend+edc. be+fri+end+edd. befriend+ed

Answers

Answer:

If the word is a noun, first determine whether it is compound, like “hedgehog” or “headhunter.” Then examine whether it is plural, possessive or part of a contraction, and whether it has a prefix, like “anti-” or “para-.” Each part of a compound noun and each suffix or prefix is a separate morpheme, which is why “hedgehogs” has three morphemes, two of them free. Both "hedge" and "hog" are free morphemes, because they can act as words on their own. The suffix "-s" is a bound morpheme, because it cannot stand on its own as a word. “Paralegals,” which includes the prefix “para-,” also has three morphemes, but only one of them, “legal,” is free. "Para-" and "-s" are both bound morphemes.

The belief that one's own culture is superior to other cultures is known as
o
A. cultural relativism
B. cultural absolutism
c 0
C. cultural perspective
D. cultural values

Answers

the answer is B, absolutism declares a culture to be superior

Answer: B. cultural absolutism

Explanation: Cultural absolutism is the term for the belief that one's own culture is superior to other cultures. Cultural absolutism is one of the perspectives which is common in anthropology, but it can  also be applied to non-scientific thoughts also. It assumes that there is a set of universal values which are objectively valid in every situation. Today, pure cultural absolutism is seen as a harmful effect of ethnocentrism focusing on  the belief that one's own culture is superior and the practice of holding other's cultures to the standard of our own. However, purely relativist anthropologists have also been critiqued for going too far, by  denying any common humanity and being too lenient towards morally questionable practices. Contemporary approaches try to find a balance between  the universal values, such as human dignity, and a more inclusive and relativistic side  of culture.
