Read the quote from Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique. Sometimes a woman would say “I feel empty somehow . . . incomplete.”

Or she would say, “I feel as if I don’t exist.” Sometimes she blotted out the feeling with a tranquilizer. Which best describes the connotation of “blotted” in the excerpt? It has a positive connotation, because it implies the women were able to erase the feelings of emptiness. It has a positive connotation, because it implies the emptiness was able to be replaced with happiness. It has a negative connotation, because it implies women were actually strengthening the feelings of emptiness. It has a negative connotation, because it implies women were merely temporarily lessening the feelings of emptiness.

Answer:

It has a negative connotation, because it implies women were merely temporarily lessening the feelings of emptiness.

Explanation:

The phrasal verb blot out means to hide, conceal, cover or mask. Thus, according to the quote from Betty Friedan’s "The Feminine Mystique," the women would take medicinal drugs to temporarily reduce their feelings of loneliness, incompleteness  and worthlessness

Answer:

Hardin's metaphor describes a lifeboat bearing 50 people, with room for ten more. The lifeboat is in an ocean surrounded by a hundred swimmers. The "ethics" of the situation stem from the dilemma of whether (and under what circumstances) swimmers should be taken aboard the lifeboat.

Hardin compared the lifeboat metaphor to the Spaceship Earth model of resource distribution, which he criticizes by asserting that a spaceship would be directed by a single leader – a captain – which the Earth lacks. Hardin asserts that the spaceship model leads to the tragedy of the commons. In contrast, the lifeboat metaphor presents individual lifeboats as rich nations and the swimmers as poor nations.

sammy [17]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "rewrite the sentence as a question." When revising an active sentence into a passive sentence, then you have to revise the structure of the verb, move the actor to the subject position, move the receiver to thepredicate.
