Answer: A) It draws a conclusion about a population based on a small sample.

Explanation: A flawed reasoning is when we make a conclusion that is wrong because the reasoning that led us to that conclusion, was wrong too. In the given example, the reasoning is flawed because Barbara Kingsolver is drawing a conclusion about a population ("everyone with an iota of social position wore polka-dot shirts and miniskirts") based on a small sample (in this case, probably just a few people she had seen wear polka-dot shirts and miniskirts).

Pick a descriptive passage from a chapter of Silas Marner. Give reasons why you think that it adds to character in action.
slavikrds [6]
A descriptive passage that might reveal more information about Silas could be the following;
<span>"Strangely Marner’s face and figure shrank and bent themselves into a constant mechanical relation to the objects of his life, so that he produced the same sort of impression as a handle or a crooked tube, which has no meaning standing apart. The prominent eyes that used to look trusting and dreamy, now looked as if they had been made to see only one kind of thing that was very small, like tiny grain, for which they hunted everywhere; and he was so withered and yellow, that, though he was not yet forty, the children always called him “Old Master Marner.” (chapter 2)
</span>From this excerpt, the reader might get to know that he lives a mechanical life in the industrialized world so he seems to be dehumanized just for the fact that he lives to work and get money. It could be also perceived that his eyesight had been damaged because of work but his ability to see goes beyond the literal meaning of it. he is also deteriorated both physically, mentally  and spiritual

Is the United States becoming a big brother society? if so, what extent ? do you think it's just a conspiracy theory ?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

To some extent, all countries, including the United States, are becoming a kind of "big brother society." This is so because governments, at present and to a greater extent, monitor the movements of the country's citizens through different governmental control mechanisms, such as internal intelligence agencies, under the pretext of contributing to this. surveillance of national security. Thus, laws such as the Patriot Act have violated the privacy of citizens, and have guaranteed the government that it can control and monitor the different aspects of their lives. Therefore, the question of governmental control of the private life of citizens is not a myth or a conspiracy theory, but a fact.
