Answer:

Neil Postman's essay "The News" central idea is to question how real the television medium is.

Explanation:

Neil Postman is an author, essayist and a communications theorist. In his essay "The News', he questions the realism of the television media in their delivering of news or information. According to him, there is a certain phoniness in the whole production of the news. The agencies choose only those news or information that will garner more audience views. The more dramatized ones are given more priority, irrespective of the gravity or importance of the situation. Their only concern is to get as many viewers as possible to generate their profit and maintain their status quo.

A: Wow! And what time (35) is The audition?

B: It (36) starts At twelve o'clock, but I don't know exactly when it (37) finishes

A: Well, (38) are you doing anything tonight?

B: I (39) am meeting Some friends tonight, actually. What about tomorrow?

A: I (40) am flying To Munich tomorrow. Don't you remember?

B: Of course. What time (41) does Your flight leave?

A: At two. But I (42)am not doing Anything in the morning. You could help me pack my bags!

Explanation:

We use the present simple to talk about habits, facts and arranged timetables like the train or flight schedules.

To write affirmative sentences in present simple:

He/she/it + verb +s

For example, He eats lunch at noon every day.

We/you/they/you +verb

For example, We eat lunch at noon every day.

Note that the verb is without the s.

To write negative sentences in present simple:

He/she/it + does not / doesn't + verb

For example, He doesn't like broccoli.

We/you/they/you + do not / don't +verb

For example, We don't like broccoli.

To write questions in present simple:

Does + he/she/it + verb ?

For example, Does he like chocolate?

Do + we/you/they/you + verb?

For example, do you like chocolate?

36, 37, and 41 use the present simple to talk about timetables and schedules regarding the audition and flights.

We use the present continuous to talk about ongoing actions at the moment or arranged plans for the future.

To write affirmative sentences in present continuous:

He/she/it + is +verb +ing

For example, He is cooking dinner at the moment.

We/you/they/you + are + verb +ing

For example, We are leaving tomorrow.

To write negative sentences in present continuous:

He/she/it + is not / isn't +verb +ing

For example, he isn't cooking dinner at the moment.

We/you/they/you + are not/ aren't + verb +ing

For example, We aren't leaving tomorrow.

To write questions in present continuous:

Is + he/she/it +verb +ing?

For example, Is he cooking dinner at the moment?

Are + we/you/they/you + verb +ing?

For example, are you leaving tomorrow?

34, 35, 38, 39, 40, and 42 use the present continuous to talk about plans for the future. The main difference with the present simple in this aspect is that even though we can use both tenses to talk about the future, the present simple is for timetables and the present continuous, for plans or arranged dates that we or others make.

Which of the following sentences use apostrophes correctly? Check all that apply.

olasank [31]

Answer:

B). The team’s report wasn’t due until next Friday, but it was turned in early.

C). Jack wasn’t hired in December ’07; he was hired in January ’08.

Explanation:

The apostrophe (') is demonstrated as the punctuation mark that is either employed to show the contraction or omission of numbers or letters or to reflect the possession.

As per the question, options B and C employ the apostrophe correctly as they correctly show the possession of the report of the team as 'team's report' and contraction of auxiliary verb 'was not' as 'wasn't'(omission of the letter 'o'). The first option is incorrect as it wrongly displays the use of possession(for words ending with letter 's') and the last option must include a contraction('it's) instead of possession. Thus, options B and C are the correct answers.
