The correct answer is D) “Code switching”

Code switching is the process by which someone changes his/her language, dialect or register based on the context or setting. In this case for example, the student is adapting her register when speaking to the professor as the social context is different. When talking to her friend she uses an informal register and when speaking to the teacher she uses an informal register.

The abstract and concrete language options are not related to the change of language or register so they do not apply to the example. As regards polarization, it occurs when two or more groups are divided for having contrasting ideas.

In recent years, the filibuster has ______. been used much less frequently than in the past become more likely to be used by bip
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

In recent years, the filibuster has become a tactic regularly used by the minority party to block proposals of the majority party.

Explanation:

A filibuster is a very long debate that aims to prevent a proposal being passed, simply by preventing it from voting.

In 1957, Senator Strom Thurmond (at that time Democratic senator) set a length record with a speech of 24 hours and 18 minutes. He wanted to stop the proposed civil rights legislation. The proposal was nevertheless adopted.  

The last time there was a proper filibuster in the Senate was in 1988, and was about election campaign funding. Democrat Majority Leader Robert Byrd demanded that everyone be present, which led, among other things, to Republican Bob Packwood being physically dragged into the Senate chamber by police officers. The filibuster lasted two days before the Democrats gave up.  In the 2000s, 80% of major bills were stopped by "filibustering".

What are three ways that the president can stay in power after an impeachment inquiry begins?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Impeachment is the process in which the law makers can charge any high ranking officials for alleged crimes committed during their term of serving in office.

Explanation:

A Government Official cannot be instantly removed merely on the basis of accusations and suspicion. Impeachable offences include treason, bribery and bad conduct. Any member of the house of Representative can introduce the impeachment resolution. The House decided whether or not to send the recommendation of the alleged crime to the Judiciary committee or not.,Then it is sent for the approval of the judicial committee. It analyses the accusations and writes and analyses the impeachment as per the constitutional mandates. Again it is sent back to the house of representatives which debates and deliberates.

If forty one members agrees the validity of the accusation then, the recommendations on the impeachment charges are sent to the senate, the senate leader can either decline or take steps against the allegations by putting it for vote. if two third that is 67 members of the senate out of hundred approve in favor of conviction, then the official is removed.

Hence the three ways to stay in office even after inquiry is house of representatives, Judiciary committee and Senate have to deliberate on the accusations only then impeachment goes to the next level of removal from the accused candidate from the office.
