According to the online Oxford Dictionary, the word "acute" has two meanings in the medical field and two meanings in terms of mathematics:

  • In the medical field, it is an adjective that refers to 1. a disease or its symptoms severe but of short duration, so it is the opposite of <em>chronic</em>, and it is also used to refer to 2. something denoting or designed for patients with an acute form of a disease. Sentences:

1. An acute inflammation of a joint may be the result of an infection.

2. The hospital is overly crowded and we can not give treatment to acute patients.

  • In the mathematics field, <em>acute</em> is also an adjective that refers to 1. an angle that is less than 90°, or to 2. something that is pointed or that has a sharp end.

1. I hate math! I can not even draw well enough an acute angle.

2. Be careful with that spearhead, it has an acute point.

Answer

Hi,

He means that satellite navigation systems will surely get your location but you will never know where you are.

The explanation here is that people lose the sense of connecting with nature when technology takes over. People nowadays do not see the need of wanting to know because they will just look it up in Google! Thus with the current rate of technological advancement, people are losing the mastery and knowledge about the surroundings which develops with time and deep engagements with things.

This argument is persuasive because the meaning of life originates from mastery of knowing things that surrounds us from experience and interaction but if technology does it for us, then what do have to be proud of?

Hope this Helps!

Which detail from "Tiger-Tiger!" best develops the theme that the rules of society don't always benefit the needs of the individ
sdas [7]

Answer:

A. " . . . they [the children] made fun of him because he would not play games or fly kites, or because he mispronounced some word. . ."

Explanation:

'Tiger-Tiger' is a part of the collective stories in 'The Jungle Book' written by Rudyard Kipling. In this story, Mowgli leaves the jungle and decides to go live in human society, after driving the Sher Khan out of the jungle. When Mowgli comes to a village, he gets adopted by a wealthy family, who lost their son.

The theme that the rules of society don't benefit the needs of the individual is developed in option A. Mowgli is a jungle boy, brought up by a wolf pack in jungle, now he lives among human, his own kind, but, in both cases Mowgli remained an outcast. In jungle he was weak among the animals and the beast, but among humans he proved to be as strong as a bull.

In the statement, in option A, the narrator describes how the rules of society didn't fit Mowgli. When he was in jungle he learned to control his temperament. But when children made fun of him, he wanted to break them in two pieces.

Therefore, option A is correct.

Alex Ar [27]

The unstated assumption in this argument is "don´t eat meat" and if you do it "try to make it in small quantities".

Explanation: having a close look at the sentences, this is what is implicitly assumed-"eating large quantities of red meat is unhealthy" (do not consume meat, it can be harmfull for your health); in fact to be truly healthy, a vegetarian diet is preferable to one that includes meat. (if you really want to be healthy and follow a healthy diet, just concume veggies and get rid of meat).
