Reffering to Alice In Wonderland There is no passage. Alice is different from other girls though because she has a wild imagination. She find the things that other girls find boring and uninteresting, intreguing. She explores and follows her imagination.
By wading into the highly contentious issue of Native American nicknames and mascots for college sports teams on Friday, National Collegiate Athletic Association leaders achieved their stated aim of sending a clear message that they object to such imagery. But the NCAA also created a cacophony of confusion and put the association in the potentially uncomfortable position of judging when Native American references are “hostile” and “abusive” and when they’re not – questions that could take months, and possibly help from the courts, to resolve.
Four years after the NCAA began looking into the subject, its executive committee announced that beginning in February, it would limit participation in its own postseason championships for 18 colleges and universities with Native American mascots, nicknames or other imagery that the association deemed "hostile and abusive."
The NCAA said that (1) it would no longer let such institutions play host to its national tournaments; (2) colleges already scheduled to sponsor such events would have to eliminate any references to the Indian imagery from the arenas or stadiums; (3) such colleges could not bring mascots, cheerleaders or any other people or paraphernalia that feature Native American imagery to NCAA championships, beginning in 2008; and (4) athletes may not wear uniforms or other gear with "hostile and abusive" references at NCAA tournament events. (The NCAA’s actions don’t directly affect bowl games, which the association does not control, or anything that happens in the regular season.)
Answer:
C. Cognitive Appraisal model.
Explanation:
The theory of <u>Cognitive Appraisal Model</u> was coined by psychologist Richard Lazarus.
According to this theory, a person interpret a situation that how it will affect him/her. Or, we can say, that cognitive appraisal model is the assessing of a situation by the person. A person will assess that whether the situation appeared will harm him and how he can cope with the situation.
In the question, Stella is showing 'Cognitive Appraisal Model' because she assessed her situation which arouse a feeling of threat in her and then she decided to cope with the situation.
So, the correct answer is option C.
Answer:
The correct answer to the question: What does the excerpt reveal about the setting of the story?, is: A: The lack of civilization is a persistent danger.
Explanation:
In this adventure novel by Jack London, and published in 1903, especially starting from chapter 2, we learn about the adventures that a St. Bernard cross with Scottish Shepherd, called Buck, must face when he is sold to a couple of French-Canadian dispatchers, called Francois and Perrault, and he must become part of a pack of sled-leading dogs, whose leader is the terror, Spitz and who work in the Klondlike region of Canada. The answer chosen, A, is the correct choice, as what is described by the narrator, as he talks about what Buck faces at the start of chapter 2, is that Buck must face the reality that he is no longer in his sunny and comfortable life in California, but is facing a situation where danger, especially from his dog companions and also humans, is constant. There is a total lack of civilization brought on by the roughness of the landscape, the situation and the animals and humans themselves. Buck soon realizes that danger here is a constant companion. This can be seen from the excerpt itself, when it says: "There was need to be constantly alert; for these dogs and men were not town dogs and men."
