What would be the antecedents in this sentence? ""No one knew who brought the banana bread to the potluck dinner.""

English

Answer:

The pronoun has <u>no stated antecedent</u>.

Explanation:

In the sentence "No one knew who brought the banana bread to the potluck dinner," the pronoun is "no one". "No one" is an indefinite pronoun, which means it does not refer to someone in particular. Indefinite pronouns, unlike other pronouns, do not have specified antecedents. For example, in a sentence such as "Claire is coming over. She's bringing wine," we can clearly find the antecedent for the pronoun "she", that is, the word to which "she" refers. It is Claire. "She" is used to substitute Claire. However, in a sentence such as "Someone ate the cookie," we have an indefinite pronoun. "Someone" does not have an antecedent, it does not refer to a particular person. Therefore, when it comes to the sentence in the question, the best way to explain it is that it <u>has no stated antecedent</u>.

To what extent does climate change affect your mental health? Answer in 2-3 paragraphs
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Natural disasters have harmful effects on health and mental health. Though most people will ultimately do well, many individuals impacted by extreme weather events and slower moving events such as droughts, experience a range of difficulties. The mental health consequences of events linked to a changing global climate include mild stress and distress, high-risk coping behavior such as increased alcohol use and, occasionally, mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress.

Climate change-related impacts can also lead to job loss, force people to move, or lead to a loss of social support and community resources ,all of which have mental health consequences. In addition, anticipation of extreme weather events and concern about the phenomenon of climate change can be stressful. There are steps you can take to better prepare for disasters and to help yourself and your family when they do occur.

Analyze the use of fallacies in the opening scene of thank you for smoking
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A fallacy can best be defined as a false or a mistaken idea, or the use of faulty reasoning. "Thank you for smoking" movie, has some fallacies in it i will be discussing below.

Explanation:

The first fallacy i noticed in "Thank you for smoking" is when  Nick Naylor's son's mother's boyfriend tells Nick "I hope you are providing Joey with a smoke-free environment." and Nick replies "I'm his father, you're just the guy_his mother." This is a negative statement as Nick attacked Polly's boyfriend personally because He is not the real parent of Joey, which is a good example of Ad Hominem.

This film is a dark comedy. Nick Naylor who is a successful lobbyist, has sense of logos in his arguments and this logos is centered primarily on logical fallacies
