Read this excerpt from "Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk." Despite these misgivings, I do not see how we can do anything but con

tinue to prosecute the war. We can and should limit the violence and the suffering being inflicted on the civilians as much as possible, but for whatever reasons, successive Administrations in Washington have carried the commitment in Vietnam to the point where it would be very difficult to prevent any precipitate retreat from degenerating into a rout. If the United States were to disengage from Vietnam under adverse conditions, I believe that the resulting political and psychological shockwaves might undermine our entire position in Southeast Asia. Which statement best describes the paradox in this excerpt?

<span> The question given above is incomplete, the options attached to the question are given below:
A. </span>The author acknowledges that civilians should not suffer, but states that the civilians must retreat.

B. The author suggests that the administrators in Washington are busy making polices while overlooking the need to end the war.

 C. The author acknowledges that the violence should stop, but admits that a retreat might have dire consequences.

 D. The author suggests that the Vietnamese people are counting on US support, though their political ideals are not democratic.

ANSWER

The correct option is C.

A paradox refers to a statement that is made up of conflicting ideas. In the passage given above, the author is expressing his view that the war should be stopped but at the same time, he is saying that there will be serious consequences if the war is stopped; this is a paradox.

Answer: I tried help you out. In a lot of cases, you forgot to capitalize names. Instead of repeating "says" as well as "replies" try to use other words. My biggest tip would be to add more emotion by using rhetorical devices to your characters. You want them to be relatable. :)

Explanation:

Emma’s birthday is coming up this week and her best friend and her brother have been acting strange. Emma has been busy planning for her party for weeks. She wants it to be indoors, so she works on getting the house cleaned up for the party. She asks Shaila to come over and help her out so they can get the job done faster. Shaila comes over and the girls hang out for a bit.

“What’s your theme?”, asks Shaila.

“I’m not sure yet, I think I’m just going to just have a normal party”, replies Emma.

The girls agree that that’s a good idea and they get to work. Emma starts texting out invitations while Shaila makes sure that they have enough tables and chairs. Emma notices that Shaila didn't finish counting but is nowhere to be found. As Emma is still planning her party, Shaila is working on a big prank that she and Josh planned.

“Did you get everything ?”, Shaila asks.

“yea”, Josh replies with a shrug.

“Okay, so when are you going to put everything into place,” she asks.

“Well I was thinking that I could set it up while Emma is sleeping, and if you tell her you are sleeping over you can help me get it done faster,” Josh explains.

“Great! id-" Shaila gets cut off as Emma walks into the room.

“There you are! I’ve been looking for you everywhere” Emma exclaims with a smile.

“Oh, sorry I was just saying hi to Josh. I also thought it was a good idea to ask if he knows of anyone else, we need to invite.” Shaila saves with

“Ok let’s go get back to work,” the girls say in sync

The girls go back downstairs and start decorating the house. Hey Shaila I’m going to order the cake, says Emma. Okay, I’ll be here, replies Shaila.

Hours later...

“We should probably go to bed now”, Shaila says.

“ok” Emma replies.

Once Emma is fast asleep Shaila quietly gets up and walks out of the room. Josh has already gotten all of the old house décors down from the attic. They start to unpack all of the stuff and put it into place where it used to be.

An hour or so later, they are finished, and all the new décor is up in the attic

Wow, it looks the way it used to”, Josh whispers.

"That’s the point”, Shaila sarcastically replies

After that, they both heads back to bed

Emma wakes up extra early that morning because her cake is coming, and she needs to put up the final decorations before the guests arrive. She goes to grab her checklist that she left next to the pink flowers last night. When she gets there, she realizes that the pink flowers are not there. Instead, her list is next to a candle. She talks a look around her house and realizes that the house looks just like it did last year… see sees a paper on the couch. Its Josh’s list of decorations he needs to replace. She realized that he was trying to pull a prank on her, so she decides that she is going to get him back much better. The rest of the day at the party she decides to act like nothing even happened and like she hasn’t noticed…

In his 2011 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama said:
bogdanovich [222]

This is a persuasion. Where he says "To attract new businesses to our shores, we need the fastest, most reliable ways to move people, goods, and information—from high-speed rail to high-speed Internet." he is stating the problem. Also where he says "I'm proposing that we redouble those efforts." he is prompting a solution to the problem. Overall he is stating the problem , giving the process and asking for you to help with the solution.
