Answers

The following strategies that are involved in revisions are: Checking for redundant language, getting rid of euphemisms and cliches, and removing overly complicated language. Therefore, coming up with new ideas and topics does not apply in doing revisions. Revisions only include correcting what is wrong in a certain article, but not entirely changing the whole thought or idea.

Its actually "Coming up with new ideas and topics"

Foreign languages are extremely important to students' education. After taking my first Spanish course, I saw a significant increase in my English grade. As a student in Spanish, I learned how to form verbs and verb phrases in that language. Learning about verbs and verb phrases in a different language gave me a different perspective about the same parts of speech in English. This new knowledge made English class much easier, and I received good grades in both classes last year. Learning foreign languages helps students in many different subjects. Ian wrote a persuasive speech to convince the school board to adopt more foreign language classes at his school. Do the examples from this part of Ian's speech support his position?
A. no, because they do not give a detailed explanation of the benefits
B.yes, because they explain specifically how the classes helped him
C. yes, because they state that Ian took a Spanish class

D.no, because they do not give specific information

Answers

The correct answer is: B) Yes, because they explain specifically how the clases helped him.

Remember that in a persuasive speech the author, in this case Ian, is trying to persuade an audience to accept an idea, attitude, or action. To do so, argumentation, rationalism, symbolism, and the usage of supportive information is needed. In this case Ian uses his own experience to support the idea that learning foreign languages is very important to the student's education. By telling this, the audience can infer that if it was helpful for him, it can also be for other students. He appeals to logos, clearing out how and why the foreign languages are essential.

the best answer is B. because he does state specifically how the classes helped him

The bagel data also reflect how much personal mood seems to affect honesty. Weather, for instance, is a major factor. Unseasonably pleasant weather inspires people to pay at a higher rate. Unseasonably cold weather, meanwhile, makes people cheat prolifically; so do heavy rain and wind. Worst are the holidays. The week of Christmas produces a 2 percent drop in payment rates—again, a 15 percent increase in theft, an effect on the same magnitude, in reverse, as that of 9/11. Thanksgiving is nearly as bad; the week of Valentine’s Day is also lousy, as is the week straddling April 15. There are, however, a few good holidays: the weeks that include the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. The difference in the two sets of holidays? The low-cheating holidays represent little more than an extra day off from work. The high-cheating holidays are fraught with miscellaneous anxieties and the high expectations of loved ones.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of this paragraph?

A. Different emotional states affect people’s honesty.
B. Some holidays cause people to be less honest.
C. Cold weather causes an increase in dishonesty.
D. Holidays and cold weather may cause anxiety.

Answers

The main idea of the paragraph is that some holidays make people less honest, as shown in option B.

What is dishonesty?

  • It is the term that refers to something immoral.
  • It's a negative term.
  • It is a term that refers to inappropriate situations.

In the text, the author reinforces how some people become more dishonest on certain holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. This increase in dishonesty is also associated with the cold weather that is presented on these dates.

Which of the following art forms did Astor Piazzolla not write? a. tangos b. plays c. film scores d. music for ballets

Answers

"Plays" is the one art form among the following choices given in the question that Astor Piazzolla did not write. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". He was born on 11th of March 1921 and died on 4th of July in the year 1992. I hope it helps you.

The correct answer is B, as Astor Piazzolla didn't write plays.

Astor Piazzolla was an Argentine bandoneonist and composer considered one of the most important musicians of the 20th century, and the most important tango composer in the whole world.

He studied harmony, classical and contemporary music with the French composer and conductor Nadia Boulanger. In his youth he played and made orchestral arrangements for the bandoneonist, composer and director Anibal Troilo.

In his last years of life he was vindicated by intellectuals, jazz musicians and rock musicians from all over the world, as well as by new tango references, and he is currently considered one of the most important Argentine musicians in the history of his country. He also composed music for about 40 films.

Read the excerpt below from A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah and answer the question that follows.There was a thick forest on one side of the village where my grandmother lived and coffee farms on the other. A river flowed from the forest to the edge of the village, passing through palm kernels into a swamp. Above the swamp banana farms stretched into the horizon. The main dirt road that passed through Kabati was rutted with holes and puddles where ducks liked to bathe during the day, and in the backyards of the houses birds nested in mango trees. In the morning, the sun would rise from behind the forest. First, its rays penetrated through the leaves, and gradually, with cockcrows and sparrows that vigorously proclaimed daylight, the golden sun sat at the top of the forest. In the evening, monkeys could be seen in the forest jumping from tree to tree, returning to their sleeping places. On the coffee farms, chickens were always busy hiding their young from hawks. Beyond the farms, palm trees waved their fronds with the moving wind. Sometimes a palm wine tapper could be seen climbing in the early evening. How does the setting in the excerpt support the plot?
