Read the paragraph. Thurgood Marshall was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended Howard University, where he studie

d law. He served for years as influential legal counsel to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), acting as a champion of civil rights for African Americans. He is famous for winning the 1954 case Brown vs. The Board of Education of Topeka, in which it was ruled that racial segregation in schools was illegal. Marshall became the first African American to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. His remarkable achievements — as a lawyer, as a Supreme Court justice, and as a human being — were nothing short of extraordinary. What effect does the author's use of words with strong connotations have on the paragraph? It creates boredom. It creates curiosity. It conveys admiration. It conveys excitement.

It conveys admiration.

The author uses the words champion, winning, remarkable achievements, and extraordinary. They all have very strong connotations of success and positivity. This immediate eliminates option A. Option B is also not correct because they do not show curiosity. We also don't see true excitement. If the author wanted to convey a sense of excitement in the paragraph there should also be exclamation points. These words convey admiration for the person Thurgood Marshall was and his achievements.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

It affects one sex because of the X chromosomes.

A male with a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome is typically affected with the condition. Because females have two copies of the X chromosome and males have only one X chromosome, X-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females.

Why is it important to prepare before attending class?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The key to achieving success in anything we do is preparation. Not just a half-hearted attempt but a researched, planned, and thoughtful process. When we use a cautious and detailed planning approach we reduce many of the risks associated with any type of change.

Explanation:

Being prepared leads to less stress. If one is not prepared then they may feel stressed out. On the other hand, if one has completed the assignments, read the material, and understands the material, they will be more likely to be able to focus upon the class.
