English

DedPeter [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Abstract

Explanation:

Women with feminine speech patterns (i.e., use of tag questions, modals, intensifiers, and numeral approximations) are seen as less confident, less assertive, and less believable than women with masculine speech patterns. The present study examined how masculine and feminine speech patterns affect the acceptance by superiors of decisions made by male and female subordinates. Seventy-nine male and female students listened to a tape recording of a subordinate's proposal for a new electronic game. The results demonstrated that the proposals of subordinates with masculine speech patterns were more likely to be accepted by male listeners, whereas female listeners were not influenced by the speech patterns.

Read these lines from the poem "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron:
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: D) The alliteration is used to emphasize the simile about the subject's beauty.

Explanation: alliteration is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the beginning sounds of consecutive words, or words that are close to each other. In the given lines from "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron, we can see an example of alliteration in the phrases "cloudless climes" and "starry skies" this phrases are referring to the night, that is being compared with the woman's beauty ("she walks in beauty, like the night"), so we can see that the alliteration is used to emphasize the simile about the subject's beauty.

Condors are beautiful when they soar high above the cliffs
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Independent clause.

Explanation:

"Condors are beautiful" still makes total sense when you take out the rest of that sentence. However, "when they soar high above the cliffs" makes no sense standing alone. Therefore the latter is a dependent clause, while "Condors are beautiful" is the independent clause.

What is one way you would describe the dictatorship in this story?
vichka [17]

Answer:

this is what i would say, I've read this b4 and had a question similar

Explanation:

One way I would describe dictatorship in the story is when the man was using his power to hurt Nina when she kept saying that she doesn’t know where the general is. They beat her up badly, and didn’t let her go to her son, even when she implored* that he was going to die. She had no way to escape especially since she was feeble*. This person, is a barbarous* and egocentric* person that only cares about his power, and that tries his best to get what he wants and not in a good way,: “Well if you won’t answer we’ll make you crush some quicklime and see if that reminds you which way the general went!...One of the men guarding the door pushed her roughly to the ground; another gave her a kick which laid her flat...At twenty to five they left her lying unconscious on the ground….“Oh my son is dying! Oh my son is dying! Oh my life, my little one, my life! For God’s sake come! Open up, for God’s sake, open the door! My son is dying! Holy Virgin! Blessed Saint Anthony! Jesus of Saint Catherine!”. This conveys that this dictatorship shown here in the text is cruel and he doesn't care what type of person he beats up, he tries his best to get what he wants even if it means hurting  people and killing them.

1*= begged

2*= week

3*= exceedingly brutal

4*= selfish; only cares about himslef

i really hope that this helped :D
