Answer:

The question is from the newsela article, <em>"Missteps lead publishing industry to review  diversity effort."</em>

The answers are:

  1. (A) The latest results showed the industry is around 75 percent white and mostly female.
  2. (C) Cummins is not of Mexican heritage but visited the country and migrant shelters along the border for book research. In a New York Times op-ed in 2016, she wrote, "My family is mostly white." She has one Puerto Rican grandparent.
  3. (B) to demonstrate the effectiveness of a diversity program aimed at increasing diversity in publishing.
  4. (C) She would disagree and note the changes she has observed since beginning her career.

Explanation:

  1. The information, "<em>The children's book publisher Lee & Low released a survey of people who work in publishing. The  latest results showed the industry is around 75 percent white and mostly female." </em>conveys that empirical data supports the claim that the publishing industry is mostly white.
  2. In the introductory paragraph, the major concern of the critics is conveyed in the line, "Critics of "American Dirt" claim its  story makes mistakes in describing Mexican life and culture. The misrepresentation of Mexican culture in<em> "American Dirt" </em>can be accredited to the facts that Cummins is neither Mexican nor was the cultural research adequate.  
  3. Michaela T. Glover is one of the interns at the United Negro College  Fund internship program. The lines,<em> "The organization WeNeedDiverseBooks works with  publishers and agents to recruit interns. The program began with five interns in 2015 and will  likely place 15-20 this summer. Out of 44 interns, 39 have since graduated from college and 30  have found full-time work in publishing, according to the organization. " </em>convey that the program is working to diversify the publishing industry.
  4. Tracy Sherrod conveys her publishing experience in the lines, "I first came into publishing in the 1980s and at that time it was believed that black people didn't  read. That statement was made to me multiple times, so we've come a long way," she said. "We're  growing as an industry, but there will be some growing pains." Tracy Sherrod believes that the industry is growing.

Which statement best describes the repeated use of the word consistency in the passage?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

A. Emerson repeats the word consistency to emphasize his disapproval of compliant thinking.

Explanation:

In the book, 'Self Reliance', by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the author talked about people who wanted to be consistent in their actions. This consistency stems from the fact that they wanted to always please people who know them by certain actions or ways of life in the past. Since they do not want to be seen in a different light, they fall back to a consistent lifestyle in order to be consistent from others perspective.

Emerson condemned such compliant thinking because he was an advocate of people not being limited in their thinking. People, he believed should be able to explore and reason extensively. They should also learn from their mistakes at their own pace, not conforming to the ideas or dictates of others.
