Answer:

I believe the best answer to be letter D) He should show more empathy in his tone.

Explanation:

In an argumentative essay, we make our claim, that is, we state our opinion and point of view concerning a certain topic. Then, we respond to counterclaims, which would be the opinions that are contrary to our own. By responding to them efficiently, we have better chances to convince readers to agree with our perspective. However, we must be careful in doing so. In Jacob's case, his tone conveys a sort of aggressiveness. It does not seem that he is defending his opinion, but rather attacking the others'. Even if corporate executives do think environmentalists are a bunch of scruffy, tree-hugging hippies etc., Jacob can find a way to state that without the offensive/offended tone. It feels as if he has taken their opinion too personally, too strongly.

Which of the following story elements in earlier versions of the Faustus legend did Marlowe retain in The Tragical History of Do
chubhunter [2.5K]

"Historia von D. Johann Fausten" is the earliest narration of the legend of Faust written by an anonymous German author and published by Johann Spies in Frankfurt, Germany in 1587. It became the inspiration of Christopher Marlowe’s play entitled "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus". Marlowe retains the following three story elements from the original legend:  

<em>Faustus visits the Pope.</em> This happens during his third exploratory journey. Becoming invisible he demands to witness all the luxuries inside the Pope’s Palace. He remained there, unseen, for three days and three nights.  

<em>The agreement between Faust and the Devil is signed in Faustus' own blood.</em> The agreement contained three clauses, the second of which indicated that a sample of Faustus’ blood would authenticate the negotiation. Doctor Faustus, pierced open a vein in his left hand using a pocketknife.

<em>The Devil serves Faustus for 24 years. </em>Based on the first clause of the agreement, Faustus agrees to give his soul to the Devil, that is become his property at the expiration of a certain number of years. In both the original and Marlow’s narration, this period was of 24 years, during which the Devil, by means of the demon Mephistophilis would be at Faustus’ service.
