Improving Your Study Skills
If you follow these simple rules, you will improve your study skills and be more successful in your education. First, you must study regularly. Set aside time every day for studying. Make sure you plan enough time. The amount of time you need depends on what you’re learning. One hour every afternoon may be enough. Or you may need to spend several hours a day. You don’t need a stopwatch, just get to know yourself. Second, make sure that you have a quiet and comfortable place to study. Noise makes concentration difficult. Using a pillow behind your back might make you more comfortable. Third, always try to get a good night’s sleep. Fourth, make sure that you’ve eaten. Getting enough sleep and some food in your stomach helps you concentrate better. Some students love to have a protein shake in the middle of a big study session. Finally, remember to take short breaks while you study. Think about something other than your work. Take a walk. Stretch your back and neck. A five- or ten-minute break every hour will keep your body relaxed and your mind alert. Like any skill, your ability to study must be built. Good study skills are worth the work. They are the keys to success in your education.
I believe the answer is: "Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits / To practice more than heavenly power permits".
The keywords are 'wits' and 'permits'
Wits means a certain knowledge or teaching, and the fact that the wit is more than something that heavenly power permits indicates that you are not supposed to have that 'wits'
b. influence the reader.
c. create an image.
d. compare two unlike things.
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
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 characters might fly in spaceships or have advanced technology. This is the correct option.
These elements will be almost necessary to create a futuristic context or setting. If the characters took ordinary buses or trains and if they used fixed telephones or used the mail post, the story would reflect a real and old context. A futuristic setting should include elements ,technologically, much more sophisticated than the ones that really exist.
These options are not right:
-Only direct characterization would be possible ( The writer of a futuristic story can use this device. He / She can describe a character's emotions ,thoughts and actions).
-No theme would be possible because the future has not yet occurred. ( On the contrary, any theme can be developed in a writer's mind. It is the writer's creativity that makes fiction. This can be true- to -life or not).
-Only indirect characterization would be possible. (The writer of a futuristic story can use this device. The character's emotions ,thoughts and actions can be infered through their dialogues or attitudes).
