Answer:

The correct answer is because the hall is not a place of war.

Explanation:

The question refers to Beowulf, an Old English epic poem that has more than 3000 alliterative lines; it is considered as one of the most important works in English language; the estimated date of composition is between 975 and 1025 and the writer is unknown.

The Geats had to leave their weapons because The Hall is considered a place of communion and not for war.

Which is an example of fair use standards for creating an investigative report?

"What Is Fair Use?"

"In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner. In other words, fair use is a defense against a claim of copyright infringement. If your use qualifies as a fair use, then it would not be considered an infringement.

So what is a “transformative” use? If this definition seems ambiguous or vague, be aware that millions of dollars in legal fees have been spent attempting to define what qualifies as a fair use. There are no hard-and-fast rules, only general guidelines and varied court decisions, because the judges and lawmakers who created the fair use exception did not want to limit its definition. Like free speech, they wanted it to have an expansive meaning that could be open to interpretation.

Most fair use analysis falls into two categories: (1) commentary and criticism, or (2) parody.

Commentary and Criticism

If you are commenting upon or critiquing a copyrighted work—for instance, writing a book review—fair use principles allow you to reproduce some of the work to achieve your purposes. Some examples of commentary and criticism include:

quoting a few lines from a Bob Dylan song in a music review
summarizing and quoting from a medical article on prostate cancer in a news report
copying a few paragraphs from a news article for use by a teacher or student in a lesson, or
copying a portion of a Sports Illustrated magazine article for use in a related court case.
The underlying rationale of this rule is that the public reaps benefits from your review, which is enhanced by including some of the copyrighted material. Additional examples of commentary or criticism are provided in the examples of fair use cases.

Parody

A parody is a work that ridicules another, usually well-known work, by imitating it in a comic way. Judges understand that, by its nature, parody demands some taking from the original work being parodied." Unlike other forms of fair use, a fairly extensive use of the original work is permitted in a parody in order to “conjure up” the original."

Indicate whether the underlined words or groups of words need capital or lower case letters by selecting the best choice. If an

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Indicate whether the underlined words or groups of words need capital or lower case letters by selecting the best choice. If an underlined section is correct, select "No change."

My husband, who is at home with the flu, asked me to pick up a box of <u>kleenex tissues, a bottle of extra strength tylenol</u>, and a jug of orange juice from the supermarket.

A. kleenex tissues, a bottle of extra strength Tylenol

B. kleenex tissues, a bottle of Extra Strength Tylenol

C. Kleenex tissues, a bottle of Extra Strength Tylenol

D. No change

The correct answer is; Kleenex tissues, a bottle of Extra Strength Tylenol (C)

Explanation:

There are certain rules applied when suing capital letters, and in our example the rule being tested here is the rule that, when writing titles of movies, publications, books or other products, the first letters of all large words must be capitalized, while small words such as is, an, a to on etc, are not capitalized, unless they are the first or the last words in the title.

in our example, Kleenex is a title or the name of a specific brand of tissue, hence it is capitalized, while tissue is not a proper noun so it is not capitalized, "Extra Strength Tylenol" are also capitalized because it is a brand name or title for a specific type of Tylenol (Acetaminophen, which is also a proper noun). Another example is in the sentence: "I am going to the cinema to watch Dragon and Kings". Notice that "Dragon" is capitalized at its first letter, the "a" in "and" is not capitalized even though it is part of the title, while the "k" in "Kings" is also capitalized.

There are other rules of capitalization in English language, I will list them out and you can do further study on them:

1. the first letter is a quotation is always capitalized as long as the quotation is a complete sentence

2. proper nouns are capitalized

3. directions are capitalized only when they refer to specific locations e.g North Carolina

5. two or more sentences following a colon are capitalized

6. the first letter or a salutation is capitalized. Example Dear Tommy.
