But the execution was an external event, not necessarily an internal exorcism. All their lives my parents, along with a nation o

f Dominicans, had learned the habits of repression, censorship, terror. Those habits would not disappear with a few bullets and a national liberation proclamation. They would not disappear on a plane ride north that put hundreds of miles distance between the Island and our apartment in New York.
And so, long after we had left, my parents were still living in the dictatorship inside their own heads. Even on American soil, they were afraid of awful consequences if they spoke out or disagreed with authorities. The First Amendment right to free speech meant nothing to them. Silence about anything "political" was the rule in our house.

–“A Genetics of Justice,”
Julia Alvarez

To help readers better understand harmful algal blooms, which organizational pattern has the author used?
nexus9112 [7]

Cause and effect pattern is used.

Explanation:

Climate change pressures will influence marine planktonic systems globally, and it is conceivable that harmful algal blooms may increase in frequency and severity.

These pressures will be manifest as alterations in temperature, stratification, light, ocean acidification, precipitation-induced nutrient inputs, and grazing, but absence of fundamental knowledge of the mechanisms driving harmful algal blooms frustrates most hope of forecasting their future prevalence.

There is expectation that harmful algal bloom (HAB) geographical domains should expand in some cases, as will seasonal windows of opportunity for harmful algal blooms at higher latitudes.

• What is the author's main argument in Amy Tan's mothers's tongue?
siniylev [52]

Amy Tan's A Mother's Tongue The purpose of Amy Tan's essay, “Mother Tongue,” is to show how challenging it can be if an individual is raised by a parent who speaks “limited English” (36) as Tan's mother does, partially because it can result in people being judged poorly by others.

1) Read the following student perspective and then choose your answer.
Arada [10]

Answer:

1: c) The student is qualifying the author's claim.

2: b) The student is challenging the author's claim.

Explanation:

Qualifying a Claim

It means, making a claim factually more correct, and persuading those to agree who earlier had disagreed with the claim.

The phrases<em> "Americans seem to be equally attracted" </em>and <em>"thus only partially fulfilling"</em> clearly show that the student is not challenging the author's claims nor is he defending it. But he is trying to make the claim factually correct and acceptable to those who disagreed with author's claims. Student's perspective is very clear. He has clearly conveyed his point of view.

Challenging a Claim:

As the term shows, it means to make the entire claim doubtful or clearly challenging its validity.

The phrases "just because numerous news outlets are available does not mean that Americans are interested" and "It is more likely that they are tuned into sitcoms, cartoons, and reality shows." indicate that the student is making the author's claims doubtful. He has raised a question over its validity.

The student is very clear in pointing out the flaw in author's claim.
