English

Answer: C. Snoop

Explanation: <em>Detect</em> and <em>perceive</em> are pretty objective, neutral words describing the action of getting to know something rather passively, and <em>find</em> is the result of an active process (searching), but it has no negative connotations. Snoop implies looking, detecting and trying to find things, but in  a sneaky, intrusive way; it will carry the negative connotation of spying in most contexts.

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.

Complete the sentences with compound adjectives formed from the words below.
grin007 [14]

Answer:

  1. short-tempered
  2. thick-skinned
  3. well-behaved
  4. open-minded
  5. hard-working
  6. easy-going

Explanation:

As these compound adjectives state with the sum of their two parts, their meanings are a combination of the two elements of the adjective.

A short-tempered person could also be described as an impatient or an irascible individual.

A thick-skinned person is able to endure a significant amount of criticism or discomfort without being overly affected.

A well-behaved person follows the rules.

An open-minded person does not criticize what he or she perceives as different, but rather accepts it as something new.

A hard-working person is diligent and productive.

An easy-going person does not stress too easily or become angry or irate over trivial issues.
