Answer:
Cons - Academic, emotional and social issues abound for children who are poor readers. Children who are behind their peers in reading struggle with low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy. Low achievement in reading is also the common denominator in school discipline, attendance and dropout problems, and juvenile crime.
Explanation:
Pros- You would be able to communicate with people who speak, read and write in Mandarin. Whether you learn simplified or traditional characters depends on who you want to communicate with and where you want to travel to. Simplified, China. Traditional, Taiwan. Learning traditional characters also will allow you to read papers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and some Kanji used in Japanese, and maybe some historical documents in various Asian countries with some history of Chinese language influence. It will also allow you to enjoy entertainment in Mandarin and read Chinese subtitles. If you learn both Simplified and Traditional it gives you more range of usage.
You would gain a better understanding of Chinese culture. There is pretty much no way you could learn the language and not gain this.
You can communicate if you travel to countries that speak Mandarin or use Chinese characters, for business or leisure.
You could order your food in Chinese in restaurants where they speak Mandarin (or at least understand Mandarin, if perhaps they speak Cantonese or Hakka or Taiwanese).
Both poems present love as a feeling that should not cling to anything temporary or transient. They try to tell us what love is by telling us what it shouldn't be. Browning introduces the following negatives: smile, look, gentle manners, the need for comfort. She points out that these things may pass, and wants to be loved for love's sake, as love is eternal. For Neruda, on the other hand, love is something he can't describe by likening it to particular, specific, well-known things or feelings. It is indescribable and unknowable, and therefore indefinite.
The correct answer is D.
The excerpt from Chapter 3 of "The Scarlet Letter" reveals that, while Reverend John Wilson is a man or kind spirit, he has dedicate himself to develop his intellectual gifts. This implicates that he believes that actions based on intellect are superior than those based on emotion.
Answer A is incorrect because there is no mention of the Reverend feeling superior to his contemporaries.
Answer B is not correct either because in the excerpt we can see that the Reverend favours intellect when making decisions.
Answer C is also incorrect because the growth of society is not mentioned in the excerpt.
I do not know what a minim is but based on its root it has to be very SMALL.
