Answer:

The answer is hyperbole. It is very unlikely that there was absolutely no money, absolutely nothing to buy, and absolutely nowhere to go. A hyperbole is a gross exaggeration, meaning that what is being said has been expanded to prove a point.

Why should you sometimes truncate a word by leaving out a letter or group of letters (e.g., creat rather than create)?
Ivan

The correct answer is D. Use it to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.

Explanation:

In internet search, the word truncation, also called stemming refers to a search technique in which only the section of a term is written, for example, instead of including the term "create" you only include the first letters of it or the root word which is "creat" or instead of including the term "spacecraft" you include only "space". This is mainly used to broaden the results in a search, because by including only part of a term results will include all possible forms or ending of the term, this means in the case of "creat" results would include the words creation, creative, creat, creature, etc and in the case of "space" this would include results related to space, spacer, spaceship and not only spacecraft. Therefore, the reason for using truncation is mainly to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.

Pretend that your local school board is considering cutting the study of world literature from the school curriculum. Keeping in
n200080 [17]

Answer:

What makes our heart moving? What else could it be except arts including literature? In a technology-driven world today, it is often thought that scientific subjects will be more important than arts subjects, but what makes us different from robots and machines? It is that we have feeling and emotion, and literature nurtures these mental values for us. The ultimate goal of education is not only offering us academic knowledge but also teaching us about mental responsibilities such as respect for older generation, so that students can become well-rounded citizens. If world literature is cut from school curriculum, it will be a great loss because good mental values from all around the globe will not be passed through young generation anymore.

4. Analyze: How does Louv use contrasts—such as death and rebirth, broken and
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. He drew the contrasts between death and rebirth when he explained that the contact which the new generation of children have with nature is dying. He explained that there is a possibility of a rebirth of wonder and joy where man can begin his meaningful interaction with nature.

Evidence from the text:

My sons may yet experience what author Bill McKibben has called "the end of nature," the final sadness of a world where there is no escaping man. But there is another possibility: not the end of nature, but the rebirth of wonder and even joy.

2. He drew a contrast between being broken and healing when he explained that the bond between the young and nature was broke. He also explained that nature did have a therapeutic effect as seen from some studies. Making it a point to heal the bond between the young people and nature would be beneficial to all.

Evidence from the text:

Yet, at the very moment that the bond is breaking between the young and the natural world, a growing body of research links our mental, physical, and spiritual health directly to our association with nature—in positive ways.

Reducing that deficit—healing the broken bond between our young and nature—is in our self-interest, not only because aesthetics or justice demands it, but also because our mental, physical, and spiritual health depends upon it.

<span>D. Arsat’s brother was holding their pursuers off with a gun.

According to the excerpt the brother wanted Arsat to continue on so he could keep the people away. He says that they do not have a gun and they'd be intimidated. He says that once he has "fired all the shots" he will catch up since he's a strong runner.
