The deep structure of the sentence "What are you reading?​

English
1 answer:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explained as below.

Explanation:

There are two types of structure. The first one is the Surface structure, and the second one is Deep Structure. The surface structure conveys the general meaning of the sentence while the deep structure is a structure in which we identify the sentence's abstract meaning.

“What are you reading?” if we see a simple or surface structure merely asking a question, but in the deep structure, we can extract many meanings from this sentence.

You are What you read. Asking like “What are you reading?” could be meant to ask what the next person is up to. We can judge the personality of a person based on what he or she is reading. Because the things we read decide what our future will be. So asking this simple question could take you a lot more.

In 1975, about one-third of American mothers with young
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The sentence that paraphrases the source information correctly is B. The number of American mothers working outside the home has  doubled since 1975 (Schlosser 4).

Explanation:

A paraphrase consists of rewording something that was said by someone else. That is, we say the exact same thing but with different words. We must remember to give due credit to the original speaker or writer of the passage we are paraphrasing.

In the case we are studying here, we can easily eliminate A, C, and D. They are not attempting to paraphrase, but to quote. Quotes maintain the original words and structures used by the speaker/author. In letter D, they have tried to pretend to be paraphrasing by not using quotation marks and by changing the spelling of numbers. Still, the sentences are the same, nothing has changed.

The only option that truly paraphrases the source information is letter D. It offers the same facts with fewer and different words. It mentions the original author, but does not copy his words. Thus, we can safely choose letter B as our answer.

A beautiful house, a new and unique architectural style. Do you know about the architecture of the house? arcviet.vn
babymother [125]

This house is an example of the architecture of Hanoi in Vietnam, where the architectural legacies of the era of French domination in European style survive, raised at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. This could be a house of that period or a current house designed respecting that style.

In general, they are usually very fresh brick constructions that adapted the French neo-classic style to the warm climate of Vietnam. The adaptations are in the arrangement of the terraces, balustrades and the extensive gardens. Light colors allow the diffusion of light and ceramic ceilings with a steep slope greater than 30 degrees are ideal for draining rain when it is abundant. The systems of closing in the windows filter conveniently the passage of the sun to the interior of the rooms obtaining a fresh atmosphere, thanks also to the great height of the interior spaces.
