All experts agree that global warming is a fact what is fallacious about the implied argument

Answers

The fact that it says All experts is fallacious because most certainly there are experts who disagree with it, and also it doesn't say experts of what. An expert baker's opinion on global warming is not as important as one of an expert on climate.

Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:(1) Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war ... testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated ... can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.

(2) We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate ... we cannot consecrate ... we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

How long is a paragraph

Answers

A paragraph can be as long as it has to be. A paragraph is meant to contain an idea. It can be 20 sentences long or it can be 6 sentences long. 

Even if you were to define that a paragraph is 6 sentences long, then comes the question, how long should a sentence be? 10 words? Or 25 words? And then comes how many letters the words should be on average. 2 letters per word on average? Or 7?

So how long a paragraph can be is all relative...
A paragraph has 5-7 sentences each

Is the sentence simple, compound, or complex? Theresa brought us paper plates for our sandwiches. A. complex B. simple C. compound

Answers


I'm going to go with complex.

Complex sentences has an independent clause and a dependent clause. Your independent clause is: Teresa brought us paper plates. Dependent clause would be For our sandwiches. 

For a compound sentence to occur you would need two clauses to be joined together as one sentence. Usually one of the indications to a compound sentence is if there are either a semicolon, colon, a conjunction (...,and)  with a comma, a dash mark (ie -), a conjunction with a semicolon (...; but). Compound sentences have two or more independent clauses. complex sentence can have one or more dependent clauses (meaning they cannot stand alone.... more information is needed for the sentence to be complete and not sound like a fragment) and one independent clause (can stand alone... no more information is needed. The sentence is complete...not a fragment). 

Simple sentence has one independent clause. It is a complete sentence.

Hopefully this helped and good luck
