Answer: I believe the right answer to be the third option, letter C. hyperbole and inductive reasoning.

Explanation:

The statement presents inductive reasoning, not a deductive one. Inductive reasoning starts from specific examples and facts and then moves on to a generalized conclusion. The speaker moves from observing specific Boxers to concluding that all Boxers (generalization) behave in the same manner. Deductive reasoning would do the opposite, moving from general principles to a specific conclusion. Thus, we can eliminate options B and D.

A hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used to give emphasis to the message the speaker wants to convey. In this case, the exaggeration comes from comparing the dogs to tornados. The speaker's intention is to have the reader visualize the mess a Boxer dog is able to leave behind it by having the reader picture the mess left by a tornado. Of course, what the dog can do is not nearly as catastrophic as what the tornado can. Therefore, a hyperbole is used.

Select Proportional or Not Proportional to correctly classify each pair of ratios.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Yes, it is proportional.

Proportions Explained:

Draw 2 triangles, triangle ABC and triangle DEF. Label any 2 sides of triangle ABC as measuring 18" and 4". Label the 2 corresponding sides of triangle DEF as measuring 72" and 16".

When you see if 18/72 and 4/16 are proportional, you are seeing if triangle ABC and triangle DEF are similar. One way to do it is with proportions, which is the way we are doing it. When making proportions, you want to put corresponding sides into the same fraction. For example, let's say you labeled side AB as 18" and side BC as 4". In triangle DEF, let's say you labeled side DE as 72" and side EF as 16". When making proportions, you want to put the corresponding side lengths (AB and DE) into the same fraction. Second fraction, same way. Just remember that the second fraction has to correspond with the first fraction. If you put the side length of triangle ABC on top and the side length of triangle DEF on bottom, you need to do the same for the second fraction.

But, they did the previous steps and want you to do the rest:

Now you have two fractions: AB/DE and BC/EF, or 18/72 and 4/16. Fully reduce each fraction, and if they come out to the same fully reduced fraction, they are proportional and the two triangles are similar. 18/72 reduces to 1/4 and 4/16 reduced to 1/4. 1/4=1/4, so the final answer is yes.

Essay on corona virus on my mental health

natka813 [3]

an essay on corona? ok! here

It has affected me personally in the social and educational aspect, but I know around the city of Detroit it's affecting others as well. In Detroit, which is one of the cities around the country hit hard by the virus, the pandemic has also affected the youth. Youth are now forced to stay home instead of going to school and spending time with friends. Most kids need to be outside and with people to release their energy and socialize. Now this cannot happen, because the virus has affected us so much. One thing we also see happening is food insecurities and social distancing. Due to what is happening in the world, people are very much afraid and cautious about food supply and interactions with people. People are afraid and are told to stay inside, so we stock up supplies that will last them about a month. Usually people get stuff that we will last them about two weeks, but now we need to stay home as much as we can.

With social distancing, we now separate ourselves from other parts of society. This has made me feel very much disconnected from my friends. Humans are made to be out and about and socialize with beings on Earth. These unfortunate events have led many people to be disconnected from society. This has allowed my mind to go to the dark side, where my fears come out. My main fear is “How long will my life be on pause?” I’m afraid of how long I will be stuck in the house and can’t see my friends. Will it be a couple more weeks or will it be a couple months?
