Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

American obsession with baseball is pretty ridiculous.

Explanation:

C would be inappropiate because it states an opinion, and it is in a informal tone.

Research writing should only contain facts, not opinions.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A formal tone helps establish the writer's respect for the audience and suggests that the writer is serious about his or her topic. It is the kind of tone that educated people use when communicating with other educated people. Most academic writing uses a formal tone.

So any sentence that would pretty much be easier to understand like C, is inappropriate as a sentence in research writing.

Two words which can disguise the seriousness of plagiarism are

  • Copying
  • Borrowing

Plagiarism can be described as the copying or borrowing of other people's work and using them without an reference. Plagiarism is considered to be a serious crime and a person is punished heavily for such actions.

Some of the ways in which a plagiarism can arise are:

HURRY AND ANSWER Which line from the poem "Ellis Island" best supports the theme “For some, immigration is a source of hope”? Beyond the red brick of Ellis Island Like millions of others, Another voice speaks nine decades the answerer / of dreams.

Answers

The line "green as dreams of forest and meadows waiting for those who'd worked a thousand years yet never owned their own" contributes to the theme "For some, immigration is a source of hope."

What is the subject of the poem?

  • The poem "Ellis Island" is about the process of migrating to the United States, the dreams that immigrants carried, and how these dreams manifested themselves decades later.
  • The poem also discusses how native lands had to be conquered in order for these dreams to be realized.
  • The poem depicts both sides of the immigration debate. On the one hand, it enables a group of people to restart their lives and achieve success. On the other hand, it leads to the destruction of homes and violence against indigenous people.

How does hope appear as a theme in the poem?

  • The theme of hope is reflected through the lines “green as dreams of forest and meadows waiting for those who’d worked a thousand years yet never owned their own”.
  • This line suggests that immigrants dreamed of the opportunities that America had to offer them. These opportunities were unavailable in their own homelands.
  • The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of this opportunity that America presents to its immigrants.
  • Thus, immigration gives them hope for a better life.

Read the excerpt from The Green Gables Letters by L. M. Montgomery. The woods are getting ready to sleep—they are not yet asleep but they are disrobing and are having all sorts of little bed-time conferences and whisperings and good-nights. What meaning does the use of personification convey? It conveys the idea that the trees in the woods are tired and ready for bed. It conveys the idea of trees losing their leaves and making noises in the wind. It conveys the idea that the trees in the woods are talking to the author before they go to sleep. It conveys the idea that the trees in the woods are not able to sleep, so they keep talking to one another.

Answers

Answer: b) It conveys the idea that of trees losing their leaves and making noises in the wind.

Explanation: personification is when the author gives human characteristics to non human objects (like the trees going to sleep or whispering), in this excerpt, when the author says that the trees are disrobing, he's referring to them losing their leaves, and when it says that the trees are having little bed-time conferences and whisperings and good-nights, he is referring to the noises the trees make in the wind.

The answer is B

Explanation:

Which sentence/phrase is BEST to cite for author's word choices that suggest positive connotations? A)
Peacemaker and Hiawatha worked together until the five tribes struck an agreement.


B)
The name they called themselves was Haudenosaunee...a name that refers to these peoples' huge family homes.


C)
Hiawatha...was probably based on a real person, a peaceful hero who helped to unite the Iroquois people hundreds of years ago.


D)
Although these people shared similar languages and cultures, they seldom saw eye-to-eye and most of their interactions were hostile.

Answers

I believe the answer is: C)  

Hiawatha...was probably based on a real person, a peaceful hero who helped to unite the Iroquois people hundreds of years ago.

This is because since a connotation means an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning, and the history behind "Hiawatha" that is shown above is about a good event. Therefore a positive connotation.


C)  Hiawatha...was probably based on a real person, a peaceful hero who helped to unite the Iroquois people hundreds of years ago.

Many words often have two meanings, a denotative meaning and a connotative meaning. Denotative meanings of words are the dictionary definitions of the words. The connotative meanings are a secondary more figurative meaning that can also show an emotion or feeling. Words that have positive connotations give the sentence or passage a positive mood or tone. In this sentence, the words "peaceful" and "unite" give the reader a sense of positivity and suggest positive connotations.

Option D does the complete opposite with the words "seldom" and "hostile". Options A and B have very neutral words.
