According to Mark Twain, "standards" are the lasting ideas people have, whereas "fashions" are just temporary trends or beliefs that change across the years.

<u>As an example of "standards,"</u> Twain cites Shakespeare because, for centuries, his pieces have been adopted and recreated by people worldwide.

<u>As an example of "fashions,</u>" Twain considers the different styles of music, writing, and technology being the latter the most changing with the passing of time.

Read the sentence from a research paper. Some online communities utilize software that makes it easier to find research resource
andreev551 [17]
This sentence would probably be a citation in APA style. Citations on research papers are very important since they give due credit to the original owner of the statement. Statements that don't have citations tells the readers that those statements are of the researcher/s alone which would be a problem for them if found out that it wasn't theirs to begin with. This would result to a work of plagiarism which is a grave sin in constructing research papers and is more equated with the act of stealing.

What reasons does Schwartz give to support his claim? Select two options
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Even though recycled water is accepted for uses like irrigation, recycling toilet water to tap water may make people feel reluctant and disgusted about the idea of drinking it.

Besides, the phrase "toilet to tap" may reduce the strength of the advantages of recycling water. The reason is people may make prejudices based on their feelings about the dangers of drinking recycled toilet water.
