When writing a critique, a reader first finds the central idea and supporting details, then

Answers

When writing a critique, a reader first finds the central idea and supporting details, then states a position on the central idea.

Critique is a method of disciplined, systematic study of a written or oral discourse. Although critique is commonly considered as fault finding and negative judgment, it can involve merit recognition as well, and in philosophical tradition it also means a methodical practice of doubt.  

The term critique derives, via French, from Ancient Greek meaning "the faculty of judgment,"

Then states a position on the central idea.

Which sentence should be revised to make this summary more objective? [1] Thomas Paine states that to talk of friendship with Britain is unwise. [2] Relations between the countries are steadily declining, and he is certain that they will not improve. [3] Paine concludes that reconciliation is not possible because some injuries are unforgivable. [4] Paine’s logic is indisputable; without his words, America might have remained subject to British rule to this day.

Answers

The correct answer is Sentence 4 "Paine’s logic is indisputable; without his words, America might have remained subject to British rule to this day".

Explanation:

The word "objective" refers to the quality of text in which the author just reports facts or evidence rather than personal opinions or judgments. In the case of summarizes that are brief accounts of the ideas of another text, a summary is objective when it only includes the ideas of the original text rather than the ideas or opinions of the person writing the summary.

This implies in the case of the text presented that summarizes the ideas of Thomas Paine the sentence that is subjective and needs to be revised to make the summary objective is "Paine’s logic is indisputable; without his words, America might have remained subject to British rule to this day" (Sentence 4) because in this sentence the author of the summary includes his personal perspective but judging  Paine's ideas as indisputable and necessary which is not adequate as only the ideas of the ideas of the original text and not the ideas of the author of the summary need to be included for objectivity.
The sentence which should be revised to make the summary more objective is the following:

[2] Relations between the countries are steadily declining, and he is certain that they will not improve.

To define, objective means unbiased and independent of other person's views. This sentence connotes a close-minded conclusion.

In the story "Rip Van Winkle," how does Washington Irving use ironic elements to describe Rip's relationship with Dame Van Winkle? Support your answer with examples from the text.

Answers

Answer:

There are many ironic elements throughout the text.

Explanation:

In "Rip Van Winkle," Washington Irving uses figurative language that conveys secret and obscured messages left to readers to discover.

While there is a description of a “curtain lecture” as “worth all the sermons in the world for teaching the virtues of patience and long-suffering.”, which should describe how Dame Van Winkle's lecturing teaches patience, the  real message underneath it is that this type of nagging is not valuable at all.

The story describes how Dame Van Winkle often lectures and nags him:

“… his wife kept continually dinning in his ears about his idleness, his carelessness, and the ruin he was bringing on his family. Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was incessantly going, and everything he said or did was sure to produce a torrent of household eloquence.”

These are just some of the examples which Washington Irving uses as humor and irony to show the relationship between Rip and his wife.

Answer:

In "Rip Van Winkle," Washington Irving uses language that differs between its literal meaning and the actual message being communicated. For example, Irving describes a “curtain lecture” as “worth all the sermons in the world for teaching the virtues of patience and long-suffering.”

While this description literally means that when Dame Van Winkle is lecturing her husband, it teaches him patience, Irving’s real message is that this type of nagging is not valuable at all.

The story implies that Rip’s wife often lectures and nags him:

“… his wife kept continually dinning in his ears about his idleness, his carelessness, and the ruin he was bringing on his family. Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was incessantly going, and everything he said or did was sure to produce a torrent of household eloquence.”

The word “eloquence” usually describes speeches, poetry, and other well-crafted writing. Irving uses it ironically in the story to describe Rip’s wife’s lectures, as they are not beautiful or well-written prose.

In this way, Washington Irving uses humor and irony to show the relationship between Rip and his wife.

An ability and an interest are the same thing.

Answers

The statement "An ability and an interest are the same thing" is false.

An ability may be defined as an acquired or natural talent or capacity that enables an individual to perform a particular job or task successfully and prominently.

On the other hand, interest refers to the feeling of wanting to know or learn about something or someone.

According to those definitions, interest and ability are two totally different things.
This sentence is FALSE.

An ability is basically a skill you have or something you possess in yourself.

An interest is when you want something or some skill that you usually do not have.
