des ago there was rubble, today in West Berlin there is the greatest industrial output of any city in Germany: busy office blocks, fine homes and apartments, proud avenues, and the spreading lawns of parkland.

Answer:

The correct answer is number <u>1. By creating a contrast between the past and present of West Berlin, the speaker emphasizes his viewpoint.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

In the passage we are analyzing here, the speaker is conveying the idea that West Berlin has risen from the ashes, going from a destroyed post-War city to a rebuilt and thriving place. To do so, the speaker uses parallelism when comparing the past and the present -- "where..., today..." -- as well as examples that support his point -- office blocks, fine homes, universities, orchestras etc. By contrasting both stages, past and present, of Berlin with parallelism, the speaker emphasizes his point of view.

ACTIVITY 1: 1.1 Define teenage pregnancy. 1.2 Discuss ONE consequence of teenage pregnancy on: the individual/ teenager C O . O
Vlada [557]

Explanation:

1.1 Define teenage pregnancy.
<em>- Teenage pregnancy is when a girl below her 20's get's pregnant, she could even be at the age of 10, for her to be considered a teenager. </em>

1.2 Discuss ONE consequence of teenage pregnancy on the individual/teenager.
<em>- Pregnancy on the individual can have quite a lot of consequences in the mind, including to the body. But one of the consequences mentally speaking is the teen can go through breakdowns/gain mental disorders/not ready to be a parent.
OR
- The teen is either forced to have the baby, but the answer can be picked above ^.</em>

1.3 Research and answer the following questions:
1.3.1 Explain how each of the following concepts could encourage teenagers to end up being parents before the right time: peer pressure, social grants culture.
<em>- Peer pressure:
It's could mainly be pressured by the parents or adults that are around the teenager, this does not whatsoever encourage any teen to be a parent. Down fall is that, being pressured by people who are older and could possibly one's parents, you will want to not make them upset anymore than they could possibly be anymore, so one's self will give birth to that child.</em>

<em>Another way one could look at the situation is that the teen actually does want the baby, but just needs guidance.</em>

<em>- Social grants culture: </em>

<em>Religion plays a big part in this pressure to try and "encourage" a teen to have the baby. In the Christian religion it is believed to be a sin to end another life. Speaking in human rights now, it is not a sin to get rid of a fetus that hasn't even been formed properly yet. Some religions do accept abortions.
Culture really just depends. I'd say some cultures would have a teen get a child because when the teen becomes an adult probably in their 30's, their child will be in high-school, which is a good thing. Then the parent[teen] is strong enough to take care of the family etc.. Some cultures will be like religion which is mentioned above ^.
</em>
1.3.2 Critically discuss FIVE religious principles that may impact positively on the issue of teenage pregnancy.
<em>- [personally am not a religious person] </em>

<em>- first impact could be that they won't have to go through the struggle alone.
</em>- <em>second impact could be that the other partner of the pregnant teen has to stay or will stay because of what they were taught morally [religiously]. </em>

[only 2 i know of]

1.3.3 Mention TWO reasons why young girls are attracted into unsafe relationships with "blessers" [older richer men]?
- <em>Reason why many young girls are attracted to unsafe relationships is because as a child that was the relationship their parents showed. They accustomed to that type of relationship in their family circle and brought it with them into finding the right partner for themselves. Older men tend to have free time to give attention to girls who want/need attention, and money is the world to young girls because, how can she eat, pay the bills, study, get clothes her size, get out of her knowingly toxic household, without any money? She'd have to find a way, and most of these young girls that get money from their "blessers" tend to be between the ages of 15-22.
</em>- <em>Reason why young girls tend to sway to the side of their "blessers" is because their father figures were most likely not there or never treated them right or never even taught them what to find in a potential partner. Older men also give a sense of comfort and security to them.
</em>

1.3.4 Discuss TWO negative impacts of this kind of relationship. ^
- <em>The first negative impact is that the youngster might not be able to see what they really need/deserve/have. They won't be able to find what they really want in a partner once the "blesser" either leaves or dies, and they wouldn't be able to tell what kind of relationship is good for them and might always get into a toxic relationship thinking that it isn't, and that it is normal.
- The second negative impact is that they might not be able to move on and get into a lot of trouble with their family/friends, and loose everything that they tried getting together.

</em>1.3.5 Recommend FIVE ways society can address teenage pregnancy.
- <em>All I can say is that society should listen to what the teen wants to do, because that is their own body, their own life. They should be able to make their own decisions and not be forced or persuaded into anything. Teenagers are people too and old enough to decide what they want to do with their own body, and can take responsibility in decisions for themselves. Recommending that society also help make the teens' decisions come out right and that they're okay.

Exercise 2 Write the plural of each word.<br> proof
lozanna [386]

The plural of the noun proof is prooves.

In general, to form the plural of a singular regular noun, we must add an s at the end of the word:

  • dog → dogs
  • house → houses
  • girl → girls

However, there are some exceptions, depending on the letter with which the noun ends.

When the singular noun ends in -f, we drop the -f and add -ves to form the plural.

This is why the plural of proof is prooves.

Other examples of plurals of nouns ending in -f are:

  • Thief → thieves
  • calf → calves
  • half → halves

You can learn more about plurals in the link below:
