Answer 1

Answer:

b) we ought not to transplant baby Theresa's organs because it would involve using her merely as a means.

Explanation:

From section 1.2 of Rachels book which is an attempt to show that the argument we should not use people merely as a means holds true.

Certainly, we ought not to transplant baby Theresa's organs because it would involve using her merely as a means.

What is one reason Postman believes television is a myth in current culture?A. Because TV offers an unbiased view on a plethora of topics
B. Because TV offers experiences that normal society will never personally experience
C. Because TV is so embedded in the culture that its effects are invisible
D. Because TV is accepted as normal in some societies but shunned in others

Answer:

C. Because TV is so embedded in the culture that its effects are invisible

Explanation:

Postman refers to French literary theorist Roland Barthes. He argues that “TV has accomplished the status of 'myth'". The point here is to understand what does “myth” mean to Barthes. Postman himself later on explains: “a myth is a way of thinking so deeply embedded in our consciousness that it is invisible”.

C. Because TV is so embedded in the culture that its effects are invisible.

Choose whether the main verb in the sentence below is active or passive. Experiments with chimpanzees revealed that the animals were able to imitate humans

Answers

Answer:

The main verb in the sentence is active.

Explanation:

In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb. Because the subject does or acts upon the verb, the sentences are said to be in the active voice. However, it is possible to change the order of words for the subject to be no longer active, but being acted upon by the verb or passive. In this case, the main verb is "revelead" and it is active. The verb is not accompanied by any form of the auxiliary verb to be.

The answer to that is passive.
