Please help me asap. We must abolish Daylight Saving Time. The practice of adjusting our clocks back in the fall and forward in

the spring must not continue. First, studies show that eighty-eight per cent of all office workers have said that Daylight Saving Time makes them thirty-five per cent less productive. A policy so profoundly unpopular cannot possibly work for the good of society. Further, only wealthy capitalists promote Daylight Saving Time for their own self-serving needs. According to Karl Marx, the inventor of Marxism, the greed that these people demonstrate operates throughout society; thus, Daylight Saving Time can only help to support that greed. Finally, the fatigue that accompanies Daylight Saving Time causes such carelessness that it can only result in a plague of traffic accidents leading to severe injuries and perhaps even death. We must ask ourselves if death is worth the dubious benefits of this outdated course of action. In conclusion, the arguments I have presented demonstrate conclusively that the disastrous practice of Daylight Saving Time must end now.
Now that you've read the paragraph, look at it again. Consider how the writer argues his position. Especially, look for fallacies; you can use the video lecture or the list in the textbook to help you spot them.
Write a body paragraph of no less than three hundred (300) and no more than four hundred (400) words to respond to the sample paragraph. In your paragraph, let your reader know what you see in the sample; explain to your reader whether you find the argument convincing by showing the reader how logic works in it.
As always, take a look at the rubric you should see on this page as you work on your paragraph; make sure that your work contains all the elements that the rubric is looking for so that you can achieve maximum success in your paragraph.

The review of the argument of the writer is as follows:

  • He makes use of the bandwagon fallacy when he talks about the statistics of people who said Daylight Savings has made them less productive.
  • The argument would have been more convincing if he had made use of good supporting details.

<h3>What is an Argument?</h3>

This refers to the use of words and logic in order to convince a person about a given perspective or position on a particular topic.

Hence, we can see that the writer makes an argument to abolish Daylight Savings and tries to be forceful about it, without the use of proper supporting details.

He does not include the source of the research that talks about the 88% of workers who said Daylight Savings reduced their productivity, and he also made use of the bandwagon fallacy.

Answer:

The word vivarium is a broader term that applies to any enclosure for animals, so to describe tanks made just for underwater  creatures, we created the term aqua-vivarium (Hibberd).

Explanation:

I took the test and got all questions right.

You need to credit the author at the end of the paraphrase and the other answer with the author credited doesn't make sense because it explains that a vivarium as something for underwater creatures instead of being for land mammals.

To whom does theoclymenus in effect or interpret The omen witnessed in the book 15 and what does he say
loris [4]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly the same as yours that was referring to "Odyssey." If that's your case, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer:

The omen presented in book 15 of "Odyssey" shows that Odysseus will return home and kill Penelope's suitors. This omen is revealed to Telemachus.

Explanation:

"Odyssey" tells the adventures of Odysseus as he tries to return to his home in Ithaca. It also shows how his wife and son are after more than 10 years without hearing from him.

Everyone in the city believes that Odysseus died and that is why many suitors invade his house, wanting to marry Penelope, Odysseus' wife, because they believe that she is a widow and that she has great wealth. Penelope does not wish to remarry and tries at all times to prevent this from happening.

Odysseus' son Telemachus hates the presence of suitors and goes in search of information about his father, when he is informed, through an omen, that his father will return home and therefore he must warn his mother so that don't get married again. Furthermore, the omen shows that Odysseus will kill all suitors.
