Answers

Answer:

We cannot begin to know how this affects your outlook for the future.

Explanation:

In order to set a serious tone, use of colloquial language must be avoided in all cases - unlike the first option, which contains expressions such as "whoa!".

Additionally, whenever the serious tone is set, it will be perceived as such by every participant in the conversation; it doesn't need to be explicitly announced, such as in the second option with the word "seriously".

Declaring an environment where no extreme emotions avail (and done so with certainty) is the correct way to set a serious tone, as done in the third option.

In the Elizabethan five-act play structure, Act III contains the ___________

Answers

In the Elizabethan five-act play structure, Act III contains the Climax. Shakespeare often wrote five-act plays, with the following structure: Act I contains the Prologue, which introduces the characters and the setting. Act II contains the Conflict, which introduces the clash between characters. Act III contains Rising Action and Climax, where the relations become heated. Act IV contains Falling Action, where everything is starting to become explained. Act V contains Denouement, where everything is finally settled and we see the results.

In the Elizabethan five-act play structure, Act III contains the climax.

A play usually consists on a five act strucutre and in act three, the climax usually occurs. The climax is the turning point of the play. It is characterized by the highest amount of suspense.

The five act structure expands the classical divisions and can be overlaid on a traditional plot diagram, as it follows the same five parts. Shakespearean plays are known for following this structure.

During the Watergate scandal, the two reporters who broke the details, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, worked for the _____.New York Post
D.C. Sentinel
Washington Post
New York Times

Answers


During the Watergate scandal, the two reporters who broke the details, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein worked for the WASHINGTON POST.

These two reporters are credited with breaking the biggest scandal in American politics. The Watergate Scandal led to the resignation of President Nixon.

Answer: Washington Post

Details:

"Watergate" refers to efforts by persons working for President Nixon's reelection campaign to spy on their opponents at Democratic party headquarters, and subsequent efforts to cover up those crimes.

The first break-in attempt by burglars working on Nixon's behalf occurred  in May, 1972, as persons connected to the Nixon reelection campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC.  They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents.  When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

An insider at the FBI who remained anonymous at the time, known only as "Deep Throat," began to give information concerning Watergate to reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post.   Persistent investigative reporting by Woodward and Bernstein brought the scandal to light and forced Congressional hearings.   (Note:  Years later it was revealed that Deep Throat was Mark Felt, who at the time was Associate Director of the FBI.)

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened.  Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency.  He resigned in order to avoid impeachment.  And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.
