Answer:

B. Feelings of joy after acting unethically may be a motivation factor in cheating, stealing, deception, etc.

Explanation:

'Is There a 'Cheater's High'?' is an article written by Romeo Vitelli, Ph.D. In his article he tries to examine the fact what makes people, like Frank Abagnale, cheat without feelings of remorse or guilt about the act.

The central idea that the author develops throughout the text is that new research of the 'cheater's high' suggests that people can actually feel positive after committing unethical acts instead of guilt/shame/remorse as previously studied. According to researcher Nicole Ruedy, emotions are vital in acting ethically or unethically.

Thus the correct statement that develops the central idea of the text is option B.

A.) Read the beginning of Jason's argumentative speech on the use of Internet slang and answer the question.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Which sentence would provide the best transition into the counterargument paragraph of this essay?

3. Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use.

Which revision would add supporting evidence to best strengthen Jason's claim?

2. Add this sentence to the above excerpt: Studies suggest that saving a few keystrokes can both reduce stress and lead to more productivity.

Explanation:

For the first question, we must first understand what Jason's claim is. That can be found at the end of his introductory paragraph:

"Internet slang is a manifestation of two more serious problems with modern society - intellectual laziness and too little time."

Now, we must find a sentence to introduce a counterargument. A counterargument is an idea that opposes the argument. The argument claims that internet slang usage is a problem. The counterargument must state the contrary. The sentence that does that is number 3: "Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use." This sentence is basically stating that internet slang is not a problem.

For the second question, we need to choose the option the adds supporting evidence to the excerpt. In other words, we choose the option that agrees with and complements the excerpt. The excerpt states that slang makes communication easier. The only option that agrees with that is number 2. All the other options offer information or present ideas that go against that opinion. Sentence 2, however, explains that slang makes communication less stressful.
