Answer:

1.) D. <em>"....things have to be done bit by bit."</em>

<em>"....today, ecological science agrees.....</em>

<em>2). D. The concept of elders passing on life lessons to the young is crucial to his culture.</em>

Explanation:

1. The ability to synthesize the author's own experience is most convincingly exemplified in the last option as it states that things have to be done gradually and step-by-step and even ecological science substantiates the point. It reflects the ability to amalgamate the experiences of life into learning that offers a lesson for life.

2. The most reasonably inferred result as the author's treatment of storytelling in his essays would be the last option as these stories state and demonstrate the passing on of life lessons from elders to young which is a crucial element and purpose of storytelling.

Define "immediacy" and discuss how the excerpt is an example of immediacy.
Zielflug [23.3K]
Immediacy-The state, condition, or quality of being immediate.Whenever it is time to prepare to talk  in class the first thing I think about is how you can connect with the audience. I do this first because I feel that any audience member should feel a connection between them and the speaker whether or not they agree or disagree with the speaker. And the way I display this connection with the audience is through the types of immediacy such as verbal immediacy, nonverbal immediacy, technological influences on immediacy, and cultural influences on immediacy.

The true purpose of daily telling of dreams
igor_vitrenko [27]

Since I haven't read the novel, I would say the general purpose of telling dreams is to share your vision or special event that happened in your imagination. The ability to remember dreams is really good, because most people will forget. While you can tell dreams, try see if you can still visualise the dream. Some dreams can be in black and white, and some can be in colour. Dreams have no limit, they take you to your own little world.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A. Three tragedies and one comedy

Explanation:

I'll be honest here, I did not know the answer off the top of my head!

So, I consulted randolphcollege.edu and found this:

"Twenty-five hundred years ago, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripedes, and Aristophanes wrote their plays in verse for an annual five- or six-day spring festival of dramatic competition called the Great (or City) Dionysia and dedicated to Dionysus.  Three tragedians competed at the festival, each presenting three tragedies and a satyr play* (a tetralogy) over the course of a day; five comedians each presented one play on the last day of the festival.
