Statements that appeal to a wide audience
Elena L [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:  B. statements that appeal to a wide audience

Explanation

As defined by Richard Nordquist, writing for ThoughtCo, "A glittering generality is a vague word or phrase used to evoke positive feelings rather than to convey information."

If a political candidate promises, "I will promote growth that will bring us into the 21st century," or says that she is the one who will bring "peace, prosperity, and progress," those are all vague, hopeful-sounding terms -- but there is no explanation of how exactly the candidate will work to achieve those goals.  

Offering glittering generalities is not wrong, but if there are no concrete action plans or details provided, then the phrases are only propaganda.

I need the main ideas for the book The house of hades real quick can any one help
Elanso [62]

At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy’s instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea’s forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?

They have no choice. If the demigods don’t succeed, Gaea’s armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.
