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.

contributions of the Babylonians to society? Explain why each was important and how each contribution influenced change.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Babylonians came after Akkadians and Sumerians so it is important to bear this in mind because many of their skills were inherited from previous cultures and some of these skills can be viewed as an extension of Sumerian and Akkadian culture/civilization (Sumerian language continued being language of liturgy, some old Sumerian religious cults were still there, Sumerian mythology was still present, astronomy and mathematics and cuneiform characters were inherited). Day divided in 24 hours is a Babylonian invention, circle divided in 360 degrees is also Babylonian invention, capacity to predict lunar eclipse and discovery of lunation (and their symbolic interpretation) is a Babylonian invention. Big part of all that was acquired/inherited by old Greek thinkers (Thales for example).

Explanation: There is no doubt that astronomy/astrology is of Sumerian/Babylonian origin and this knowledge was spread in Middle East and later it came to Greece. Egyptian and Greek (and later western) astrology was influenced by Babylonian astrology. Many predictive techniques and divinations we can found among Egyptians and Greek were of Babylonian origin (study of planetary secondary progressions, eclipses etc.).
