Montag is sent over the edge when the women begin to talk politics. It is clear from their discussion that they voted based on trivial, materialistic factors rather than the candidates stance on issues. He listens to the discuss how they voted based on the candidates' looks, names, and mannerisms. It drives him over the edge and he compares them to monsters. He says, "did you hear these monsters talking about monsters?"
Before he is driven over the edge, he "stood looking at the women's faces as he had once looked at the faces of saints in a church he had entered when he was a child."

The quotations from the excerpt that best represent reasonable evidence to support the claim that Americans are losing confidence in their governments are 1 and 3:

1. For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years. (YES)

2. . . . the willingness of Americans to save for the future has fallen below that of all other people in the Western world.

(NO)

3. Two-thirds of our people do not even vote. (YES)

4. The productivity of American workers is actually dropping. . . (NO)

Evidence is generally used in argumentative essays to support a claim that the writer has made about a debatable topic. Moreover, evidence is included in order to make this claim more solid and convincing for the reader. In this case, <u>quotations 1 and 3 provide proper evidence because they are implying that most people do not have hope for a better future regarding political issues</u>.

Does fun and enjoy are the same thing???

MrRa [10]

Answer: Yes and No.

Explanation: Fun is when you're having pleasure or amusement in something. Enjoy is taking delight in something. However, it is quite hard to determine a different since if you're having fun, you must be enjoying yourself. And if you're enjoying yourself, you must be having fun.

(I would say they are somewhat synonyms to each other).

This statement illustrates the Domino Theory because it implies that if Greece were to fall under the control of the communist armed minority then this will affect other nations surrounding it like Turkey.

The Domino theory states that if a non-communist state falls under the control of a communist nation, then the nations surrounding it will follow suit in a domino effect.

This was what President Truman was saying when he expressed his fear that if Greece falls under the control of a surrounding communist nation, then countries surrounding it will aslso be affected.
