It can convey 2 different sides. for instance, look at the photo that is uploaded. it shows that Hoover is a bad president, but on the other hand, it shows that FDR is a good one. Hoover didn't do a lot of things during the Great Depression, but Franklin Roosevelt helped solve a lot of problems. There's a positive and negative side.
Explanation:
Read the two arguments. First, identify the similar claim in both passages. Then, explain which argument is more effective in supporting that claim and why. Make sure you include specific references to each argument when developing your response.
Passage
Argument 1:
One thing's for sure: We don't want to be caught unprepared the way we were last winter. Before November rolls around, Mountain City needs more heavy equipment to clear the roads and keep our drivers and pedestrians safe. During the winter season last year, consumers flocked to the Mountain City Mall in record numbers. This included many people from the surrounding towns of Mitchell and Pike, and studies show that those two towns are home to notoriously bad drivers. Keeping the roads clear will ensure we're all much safer.
Argument 2:
Mountain City needs to purchase more snow plows and snow-removal equipment. Over the last two winters, we all saw how the snow piled up because the city wasn't able to remove it. Two of the four main streets that cross the city were blocked for well over two months. In addition, traffic accidents nearly doubled last winter, and according to safety officer Rich Daddy, "the vast majority of the new winter accidents were because of snow." With an even more severe winter predicted by forecasters for this year, it's time to get the equipment we desperately need.
Explanation:
Equivocation is the use of ambiguous language to conceal the truth or to avoid committing oneself. This is used quite often in Shakespeare's play, mostly with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth when they try to hide the fact the they plan to kill King Duncan. In Act 1 Scene 7, Macbeth says, "False face must hide what the false heart doth know."
In Act 2 Scene 3, when Macduff finds the bloody corpse of King Duncan, the porter that is still drunk from drinking in the night says that he is the porter of hell and says "equivocator, that could swear in both the scales against either scale". This line is considered a reference to the book "A Treatise of Equivocation". The book was about how Catholics dealt with dangerous questions from Protestant inquisitors. If the Catholics told the Protestants that they were Catholics they would get in serious trouble and it would be a sin against God. So they decided to equivocate. The Catholic equivocators would tell the Protestants what they wanted to hear, but God would know that they would be telling the truth. This in another equivocation but doesn't necessary make it a good thing.
When Macbeth visits the witches for the apparition, the witches that are working for the devil, equivocate all their apparitions. The first one says that "armed Head", Macbeth thinks that it means beware Macduff but it actually is that Macduff in armor, head of the army will defeat Macbeth and chop his head off. The next apparition, says that, Macbeth must "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn / The power of man, for none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth". Macbeth then fears no one because everyone is born of a woman but Macduff isn't. He was ripped from his mother's womb and we find out the casarean doesn't count as born from a woman. The final apparition, says "child crowned, with tree in hand and assures Macbeth that, "Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until / Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill / Shall come against him". The child crowned means that the child of Duncan, Malcolm, will become king which happens in the end of the play. Macbeth doesn't believe that the wood and trees can move until we find out that the army uses the trees as camouflage and are able to move it.
The correct answer among all the other choices is "If it grows on a tree it is an apple." This is how you rewrite the statement as a conditional statement. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
