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).

The island is politically divided among three countries: Malaysia and Brunei in the north, and Indonesia to the south.!I Approximately 73% of the island is Indonesian territory. In the
north, the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak make up about 26% of the island. Additionally, the Malaysian federal territory of Labuan is situated on a small island just off the coast of Borneo. The sovereign state of Brunei, located on the north coast, comprises about 1% of Borneo's land area. A little more than half
of the island is in the Northern Hemisphere, including Brunei and the Malaysian portion, while the Indonesian portion spans the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Borneo is home to one of the oldest rainforests in the world.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The professors asked Gloria Pritchett and me to give a guest lecture at the university.

Explanation:

This sentence is grammatically correct because it does have the right use of grammar here. The second option isn't grammatically correct because you cannot say Gloria Pritchett and me because it isn't the right way to use the grammar. It's just incorrect.

harina [27]

Hey there!

Perfectionists are always afraid of what others will think about them. They fear that everything they do might not be "perfect" enough for others and that they will be criticized for their mistakes. Perfectionism can cause anxiety. When perfectionism is reduced, people aren't afraid to make mistakes and try new things.

Hope it helps, and sorry, I have to go now. I have an essay on culture, and a presentation, and another one about the Emancipation Proclamation, and <em>another</em> one about the impact of humans...

Goodbye!

Have a great day!
