Heres the queastion, im stuck and i really need help
scoray [572]

I read Ted Chiang’s excerpt “EXHALATION” and the correct answer would be D, <u><em>“IT CREATES A FEELING OF HOPE AND PERSONAL REFLECTION”.</em></u> The whole excerpt is talking about life in a scientific way, it’s trying to make the reader to have a vision about some scientific facts about our organism.

The excerpt states 2 theories. The first one is about our memories and that the things that we forget are indeed gone forever and there is nothing we can do to have them back. And the second one is about contrasting reality vs science.

Will give brainliest.  Name one disadvantage for each of the three leadership styles
gulaghasi [49]

There are three main leadership styles that are widespread known.

The first one is the "Laissez-Faire Leadership" in which consist of minimal direction and supervision. One disadvantage of this kind of leadership is that the control could get lost by the direction and the response of employees does not meet the expectations of the job or the project.

The second one is the "Autocratic Leadership", which has been traditional across the years. This style consist of a constant supervision, which can cause stress on the employees and lack of creativity and propositivity by the team.

The last one and balanced one is the "Participative Leadership" in which it is intended to be in the middle of the two firts approach, giving to the team the freedom of use their own initiative but having at the same time a guideness and a control on the project. The disadvantage is that the balance is not easy to manage and either the team can get lost on guideliness or the leader can restrict in some way the initiatives of the team and this can lead to demotivation.

As the principal speaker in an inter school debate.Write your argument for the motion "African countries need military rule and
Llana [10]

Answer and Explanation:

African countries have been extremely exploited and devalued by European nations and other nations considered to be world potentials. This exploitation has enabled African nations to become small, poor and often unskilled, which increases not only their problems, but also their devaluation around the world. Civilian governments have not been effective in solving these problems, which shows us that these governments are a flawed investment with no positive results, which need to be quickly changed by disciplined, rigid and imposing military governments, capable of bringing about real national changes.
