Read the passage from "The City Without Us" by Alan Weisman:

English
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
4 0

The ideas discussed in the passage are

C. Nature can destroy creations that were thought indestructible; humans aren't as powerful as the forces of nature.

Explanation:

The passage given here is principally concerned with the nature of the power of nature over humans. In that, the nature can and will be superior over whatever the human power will achieve as it can make it erode and wither away.

Even the things that the humans would think would be indestructible are fairly easy to collapse and to destroy.

So the permanence of the human power over nature is disputed here in the two concurrent ideas of the destructibility of everything and nature's dominion over humans.

Answer:

answer is in exaplation

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from The Crisis, Number I, by Thomas Paine.

"Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but 'to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,' and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth."

Which is the best way to paraphrase this excerpt?

Britain has oppressed the colonist in many ways

Read the excerpt from a summary of Common Sense.

[1] Thomas Paine states that to talk of friendship with Britain is unwise. [2] Relations between the countries are steadily declining, and he is certain that they will not improve. [3] Paine concludes that reconciliation is not possible because some injuries are unforgivable. [4] Paine's logic is indisputable; without his words, America might have remained subject to British rule to this day.

Which sentence should be revised to make this summary more objective?

Sentence 4

Read the excerpt from a summary of the Declaration of Independence.

[1] The Declaration of Independence is beautifully written. [2] Jefferson argues that everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. [3] It is a government's job to protect these rights. [4] When a government fails, Jefferson asserts that the people can overthrow their government.

Which sentence should be revised to make this summary more objective?

sentence 1

Read the summary of the first three paragraphs of "The World On Turtle's Back."

[1] In the beginning, there was no land, only the great ocean. [2] The Sky-World, the home of the gods, was above the ocean. [3] A sacred tree stood at the center. [4] One of the gods pulled out some of its roots for his pregnant wife. [5] This created a hole in the floor of the Sky-World. [6] The man's wife fell through the hole toward the ocean below, clutching the roots in her hand.

Answer:

1. Binge-watching may lead to isolation and dependency.

2. It is effective because the author describes multiple effects of binge-watching when it becomes a habit

Explanation:

The author quoted a study from the University of Texas which stated that binge-watchers have the tendency to become lonely, depressed, and have less self-control. To support this claim, he listed the multiple effects of binge-watching when it becomes a habit. Some of them include stressful feelings such as regret, guilt, personal failure, depression, and anxiety.

The addicted binge-watcher also has a sense of wasted time and activity because he feels that he should have invested his time in something better.

To kill a mocking bird- Why does jem want to go back for his pants so badly ?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Jem had to go back for his pants because the lie Dill told to Atticus didn't involve his pants being destroyed, only lost. He said he had lost them in "strip poker." Jem couldn't argue with that lie and come up with a better one where the pants were actually destroyed or else he would risk exposing the lie, so he had to go along with it.

If he hadn't come up with the pants relatively soon, Atticus would have punished him for losing them permanently, a punishment Jem seemed eager to avoid when he said he had not been "whipped" for a long time and he didn't want it to happen again. He clearly has a healthy respect for Atticus and is also afraid of the whip, as he should be. Atticus would have either punished him for losing the pants (something it would cost money to replace) or have punished him for lying, had he found out how the pants were really lost.

So, Jem really had no choice but to go back for his pants, as scary as that prospect was.
