Answer:

French, literally left.

Explanation:

The etymology of the word, Gauche is French literally left. Etymology refers to a sequential breakdown of the origin and continued use/meaning of a word in different languages. The word <em>Gauche</em> which means Tactless or lacing social grace is originally derived from the French word, <em>Gauchir, </em>which means warp or distort. This is a merging of two words from the Old French, <em>Gauchier. </em>

The word is a replacement of the original word for left, which is<em> Senestre. </em>So it can also be used as an adjective to refer to the left-hand side of something.

Why is Senator Margaret Chase Smith addressing the U.S. Senate? To whom are the remarks delivered? Cite textual evidence to supp
Alla [95]

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer:

As the title states, the remarks on this speech are delivered to the Senate and are meant to highlight the lack of action against Senator Joseph McCarthy (1908-1957) and his campaign of persecution and defamation against suspected communists.

Senator Margaret Chase Smith´s speech called all Senators to reject McCarthy´s tactics and honor their responsibility to do right by the American people.

Explanation:

The question refers to “Remarks to the Senate in Support of a Declaration of Conscience,” Senator Margaret Chase Smith´s “Declaration of Conscience” speech from the Senate floor, delivered on June 1st, 1950.

To compel her peers, she offers her perspective on the matter:

"As a United States Senator, I am not proud of the way in which the Senate has been made a publicity platform for irresponsible sensationalism. I am not proud of the reckless abandon in which unproved charges have been hurled from this side of the aisle."

She also warns that American people are "afraid to speak" and claims that no one should "be in danger of losing his reputation or livelihood merely because he happens to know someone who holds unpopular beliefs."

What was not working in remote learning?What has failed?
Igoryamba

Answer:

I think that kids have been distracted when they are doing remote learning. I mean its computers and kids will be bored of school and will be doing something else like playing games, listening to music and etc. teachers cant see what kids are doing if its a classroom they can see what you are working on and mainly if you need help. Since its remote learning they can't help you because some kids can have internet issues. I think that what has failed is teachers cant help all the kids who need help properly.
