Answer:Functional fixedness

Explanation:Functional fixedness is our cognitive bias of being fixated only in a traditional use of an object without considering other potential use of it. For example a paper clip is only considered for it sole use as a device which is used to hold sheets of paper together, but a person who avoids function fixedness is able to also use the same paper clip in other functions such as opening a locked door.

Functional fixedness hinder us from seeing various potential functional use of an object and from thing and coming up with out of the box ideas that can fix certain issues.

How Functional Fixedness Influences Problem-Solving

If you wanted to hang a picture in a wall but you didn't have a hammer you will not consider other tools that you can use for the same task. Someone without functional fixedness may suggest using a metal wrench to put the nail into the wall and it may suprise you.

What makes a thesis statement weak? ​
Llana [10]

Answer:

When you don't add direct input from your writing. If your first paragraph is about "how dogs save the day", then in your thesis, you should put "...how dogs save the day...". By adding input from for <em>body paragraphs, </em>you are informing the reader about the rest of your writing. If you don't add these key items, your thesis may be weaker, causing the reader to be less interested.

Have a nice day! :)

Compare Themes of the Two Poems
ycow [4]

<u>Incomplete question. However, I inferred this to be the full question;</u>

Compare and contrast the themes of the poems “Ulysses” and the “Lady of Shalott,” and analyze how the poet incorporates Victorian ideals into the themes.

Answer:

<u>Both poems address the relationship between a woman and a man.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the poem “Ulysses” by Tennyson we notice a focus about an individual's pursuit for knowledge and experience. Ulysses (a male character) feels that he must look beyond his challenges by seeking new experiences.

In the poem "The Lady of Shalott" also focuses on taking risks to overcome challenges. However, both poems shed some light on the relationship between men and women incorporating the Victorian view of acquiring knowledge which sees women as merely serving their duty in her home and family, and that her interactions with the world is not permissible.

what descriptive details does the author employ to help readers create a picture of Sanaz? This is from the story "reading lolit
Wewaii [24]

Sanaz is described as being divided between two men: her rich younger brother who controls his sister and Ali, her significant other who had left to England six years prior. Her brother then starts getting paranoid and following her, listening to her phone conversations and spying. This gives a good feeling of her life and actions.

The author also describes Sanaz as having beautiful long hair, which she constantly flicks, but hides beneath it. She also wears a scarf over golden earrings and wears a robe over her orange shirt and jeans, enabling the reader to picture her looks.

Finally, she is also said to take pride on her hair and desires more freedom than she currently has, but walk on the streets trying to hide from the cold unforgiving world.
