Answer:

The correct answer is 1. incomplete comparison.

Explanation:

In the example, there can certainly exist a logical relation between the two propositions (inquisitive students - make - better students), however, since there is not enough information, a logical relation between them cannot be properly constructed. If the comparison presented some sort of argument then it would be complete. For instance: "Inquisitive children, <em>since they are more curious and open to learning</em>, make better students". Without the argument, the idea seems more like an unsustained opinion, based on prejudice, than anything else.

Answer:

1. Incomplete comparison

Explanation:

A comparison is a consideration or estimate of the similarities or differences between two or more elements. In the sentence "better" is a comparative adverb, however, the sentence does not compare one element to another, which it's an indication that the other element is missing, the comparison in incomplete. Here is one example where the comparison is complete "Inquisitive children make better students than lazy students because the first group tends to be more eager to ask questions and solve problems."

4. PART A: Which answer best describes Jim's mother
Kipish [7]

Answer:

E. All of the above

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. Jim’s mother lacks religious faith, whereas the school book mothers are pious.

B. She is neither loving nor devoted to her son, whereas the school book mothers are.

C. She is healthy, whereas the school book mothers are always dying of consumption.

D. She physically hits him, whereas the school book mothers are gentle and affectionate.

E. All of the above

This question refers to the story "The Story of the Bad Little Boy" by Mark Twain. In this story, Twain talks about a boy who was very bad, but who never felt guilty, received a punishment or was particularly unhappy. According to Twain, this shows that the moral stories that we find in "Sunday-school books" do not reflect reality.

One of the elements in the boy's life (Jim) that did not resemble those stories was his mother. Jim's mother was not a sick and pious woman like those often found in such stories. Instead, she was tough, healthy and "stout." Moreover, she was not religious, and she did not worry about Jim in any way. Instead, she cared little for him and physically hit him, spanking him and boxing his ears.
