1 answer:

6 0

For decades in the U.S., there have been isolated incidents of removal of Confederate monuments and memorials, although generally opposed in public opinion polls, and several U.S. States have passed laws over 115 years to hinder or prohibit further removals.

In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in June 2015, several municipalities in the United States removed monuments and memorials on public property dedicated to the Confederate States of America. The momentum accelerated in August 2017 after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.[1][2][3] The removals were driven by the belief that the monuments glorify white supremacy and memorialize a government whose founding principle was the perpetuation and expansion of slavery.[4][5][6][7][8] Many of those who object to the removals, like President Trump, claim that the artifacts are part of the cultural heritage of the United States.[9]

KIM [24]

The question is about the short story "A Matter of Fact" by Rudyard Kipling, an English journalist and writer.

In a radio version the story can start with sea waves sound, and we can expect introduction of the characters sailing together. The story mainly have 3 characters and all 3 are journalists.

They are sailing from South Africa to England, and due to unexpected currents due to a volcanic eruption. Here we can hear the flaming sounds of a volcano eruption and rough sea that is causing a difficulty for the pilot to steer.

Then we will hear sounds of the sea monster that appears from the ocean bed and is screaming in pain as the monster is wounded and all 3 journalists look at the monster astonishingly and their surprised voice can be heard. The sea monster then falls back in the ocean bed, having heavy voices of pain and then the sound of monster falling in the sea, that will be a bit loud and powerful.

The journalists then discuss how they will represent this scene to the public and all 3 have some mixed views that can be heard in their voice and native accents.

The future is always more or less uncertain. You reduce the degree of risk when you collect relevant data and apply it to your f

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Uncertain - 99%.

Explanation:

Predicting or forecasting the future could be measured with a sense of certainty or uncertainty. If a person sees dark clouds on the sky, they would be more certain than uncertain that it's an omen of rain. If you are collecting relevant data and then apply it to a forecast having less than 1% of certainty of reducing the degree of risk, conditions are uncertain. And, if measured from 1% to 100%, substracting that 1% of certainty leaves a 99& of uncertainty.
