Explanation:

Walden has very noticeable strong themes. The importance of self reliance, the Value of Simplicity, the Illusion of progress (Thoreau is very skeptical about considering technological advance as societal advance) and so on. Also, there's the life in the woods itself represented in Walden. So it's hard to see him seeing the new technology as important or beneficial. He was also a logical person, so finding impractical new and better technology is probably not the case. Which leaves us to the the correct answer, the option that fits all of Thoreau's worries.

Answer:

C) He would believe they were destructive to a person’s thinking ability.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

d. Being a pet detective is a serious job that requires a lot of hard work.

Explanation:

From this Newsela Artice, we learn of Jamie Katz a popular Pet Detective, and the amount of effort she and others who are in the same field put into the job of finding lost pets. The narration shows that the job requires hard work.

Several methods are employed to get the job done. Some of them include using dogs or cats to trace the pets with their smell and from the location where they were last seen, putting up signs which cost $295, and even employing news footage to get the public aware of the lost pet. Sometimes the Pet Detective might have to deduce a lie from the clients. All of these require a measure of hard work.

Slang uses invented words and assigns new meanings to old ones.<br> a. True<br> b. False
TEA [102]

Answer:

true.

Explanation:

Slang is a part of all languages, usually identified with sub-groups in a community, that make use of non-standard registers in order to capture new or complex realities of this sub-group that cannot be fully accounted for through standard language conventions. The ways that slang words are implanted in a sub-group are spontaneous; however, they always carry meaning and sense, sometimes through sheer invention. Many argue that slang enriches languages, not the other way around.
