Different languages ​​have different numbers of phonemes and these languages ​​differ because of the number of phonemes these languages ​​have in their language systems.

Languages ​​use only a small subset possible sounds that human speech organs can produce. Then we have Allophony, which is a predictable phonetic variation of a phoneme that will generally make the number of distinct phonemes less than the number of identifiably distinct sounds. Both the Norwegian language, which has up to 42 phonemes, and English, which has about 36, must have more sounds, while some Brazilian rainforest languages, which only have 10 phonemes, must have more distinct sounds, but no more than English or any African language.

Read the following passage. Then decide whether the student sample at the right (or below) cites the passage acceptably in MLA s
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

b) Unacceptable  

Explanation:

The given excerpt shows the text from the original source, enabling us to identify whether the student properly followed the formatting rules of Modern Language Association (MLA) style.  The <u>in-text citation format</u> of the MLA style is enclosing the author's last name and the page number in open- and closed-parenthesis at the end of the text.  

In the given prompt, the name of the author and the page number were provided. Also, the student copied from the text verbatim. Thus, he or she should have written the direct quotation as:

"There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (Eagleton 11).

Alternatively, the student could have introduced the name of the author before the direct quote:  

Terry Eagleton presents an interesting view on the significance of value in literature, as he states, "There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (11).  

Therefore, the student <u>unacceptably</u> cites the passage in MLA style.

The type of appeal used in President Obama’s statement is clearly  <em>Argument </em>

Argument  in literature is the main idea of a story, a speech or a poem.  

…<em>"To attract new businesses to our shores, we need the fastest, most reliable ways to move people, goods, and information—from high-speed rail to high-speed Internet….” </em>

This statement is clearly the main idea of the speech from which he developed all the reasons and arguments to support it. This statement also serves as an introduction with the purpose of attracting the readers or the listeners, to the subject that is going to be developed.

Then, he uses a conclusive sentence to wrap up the arguments already mentioned.  

<em>…”This isn't just about faster Internet or fewer dropped calls. It's about connecting every part of America to the digital age…" </em>
