Read the excerpt from The Inheritors. EMIL: Guess you don't know much about the Espionage Act or you'd go and make a little frie

ndly call on your uncle. When your case comes to trial—and Judge Lenon may be on the bench—(whistles) He's one fiend for Americanism. What best describes the effect of the word fiend in this excerpt? It establishes the time period in which the story occurred by using language that is not typically used in today’s society. It develops the conflict by establishing the fact that Judge Lenon is unforgiving when he feels that someone has been unpatriotic. It enhances the theme of the story by suggesting that it is nearly impossible to receive a fair trial during this time period. It characterizes Judge Lenon as a corrupt judge who cares more about patriotism than he cares about justice.

First of all, we need to establish two definitions here. the first one is Americanism that is the attachment to ideas and traditions in the USA, basically being an absolute patriot.

The second word is fiend which is a person who has negative intentions towards your feelings and in general, to anything other people value.

Taking this in consideration we can say that the correct answer is It develops the conflict by establishing the fact that Judge Lenon is unforgiving when he feels that someone has been unpatriotic since he is a fiend for Americanism he won't stop in his objective of going against anything that is opposite to his beliefs.

The other options are not correct because they talk about the use of vocabulary more than its meaning and the last one talks about corruption which is not mentioned in the excerpt.

Fact and Opinion
const2013 [10]

<span>1-The fastest land dwelling creature is the Cheetah. </span>

<span>Fact.  This is fact because it can be verified.</span>

 

2-the ugliest sea creature is the manatee.

<span>Opinion.  Because opinions vary and beauty (or ugliness) is relative, perspectives on what is considered “ugly” will vary.</span>

 

3-prison is one of the worst places on the planet.

<span>Opinion.  This is a relative thought.  To some, prison might be considered a good place.  In fact, there are instances where convicts cannot function in society after a long prison term and commit crimes to be returned to prison because society has become a bad place—a place where hardships outweigh those they faced in prison.</span>


4-Oranges contain both calcium and vitamin C.

<span>Fact.  This is something that can be tested and verified as true. </span>

 

<span>NOTE:  When trying to determine whether something is a fact or an opinion, just be sure to keep in mind that if the statement can be proven, it is fact; if the statement cannot be proven, it must be an opinion.</span>

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

While a brand stands on its own, marketing seeks to push it forward, emphasizing the products and services available in a way that encourages potential customers to make a move. The brand is the message, but the marketing is how you communicate the message.
