Things Fall Apart, is a novel written by the Nigerian author, Chinua Achebe, and it was published in 1958. This novel portrays what life was like in Africa before the arrival of Europeans, and especially Christianity, to the continent. Things Fall Apart tells the story of main character Okonkwo, a man from the village of Umuofia, who dedicates his life to build an image of himself before his people, the Igbo, that completely contradicts the one his father created. For that reason, Okonkwo fights to gain not only respectability, but to also be admired as an example of society and he strives to become really rich, in opposition to his father, who was always in debt and accused of having neglected his family and responsibilities. Aside from wishing to become a standard of society and dissociate from the image of his father, there is a third reason that drives Okonkwo to become so respected; he is obsessed with how his peers see his masculinity, which is why he tends to be really harsh with his family, so that he is not seen as weak and effeminate.

Answer:

- Check to see if it is the part of speech I need for my sentence

- Clarify the meaning of the word

Explanation:

Finding the longest, most academic word, does not mean it suits the sentence. You should check if it fits into the sentence properly. You should also check if it means the same thing, or else the sentence will not make sense.

A mouthwash ad that asks the viewer if he or she has ever scared away a date because of bad breath tries to provoke

'There is some evidence that using mouthwashes does have some clinical benefit in reducing levels of plaque - but only by a bit,' says Professor Damien Walmsley, scientific adviser to the British Dental Association. 

They are helpful, they are never going to be a replacement for the mechanical action of a toothbrush for getting teeth and gums clean.'

Which of the following are allusions?
lesya [120]
The answer is C) Money can't buy happiness and A) He was a real Romeo. Allusions help us visualize the character by reffering to a figure of speach or a character, and comparing that to us. They take money and Romeo, and compare that with another person. They compare money to happiness and Romeo to another man. Hope that helps

The words that should fill in the blanks are "simulation" and "sample space." In that case, the full sentence would be:

"You can use the experimental probability based on observation or simulation to set up a sample space and use it to predict a value."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The sentence above refers to the use of experimental probability, which is a system that allows predictions and hypotheses to be made about a given subject.
  • In this type of system, the use of simulations is very common, since these simulations allow the probability of something happening to be studied.
  • The sample space is also widely used, as it allows a set of data, which can be used in the future, to be predicted and studied.

In this case, we can say that the experimental probability is performed with the help of other elements to be effective.
