Answer:

C) linguistic determinism

Explanation:

Linguistic determinism is based on the idea that language and its structure determines an individual knowledge and thought as well as the different thought processes like memory and perception. It states that an individual thoughts is as a result of the language that the individual speaks. According to The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, it states that language patterns lead to different patterns in thought.

Answer:

The elements of the above excerpt from the story that would appeal to children are the animal character and the dialogue.

Explanation:

Children are drawn to animals and animal images because of their cuteness and lack of danger. Younger children may sympathize with animal characters more easily than human beings. It appeals to animal-loving kids. As a result, interactions become simpler to comprehend and accept. Animals can make children smart, loving, and empathetic. Animals help youngsters overcome their helplessness. Young children view animals as "human-like" and do not consider them "other." It is also fascinating to youngsters to hear stories about talking animals and the dialog between the traveler and the dog. Stories like these also demonstrate how connections work and how to accept one another's differences. They expose kids to circumstances that are beyond their comfort zone, especially difficult emotions. Animal stories provide a unique and pleasant setting for youngsters to learn tough concepts.

The moral lesson could actually be also appealing to children, maybe when they are in a classroom set up where there is a teacher that will guide them to figure out the moral of the story. However, if they are reading on their own, I think it would be hard especially for very young ones to figure the moral lesson themselves.

And yes, the humor in the above excerpt can also be appealing to children, especially when the dog responds to his master. For English-speaking children, it is easier to see the humor in it. However, for young English as Second Language learners, it may be difficult to understand it. But generally speaking the humor in the story makes it appealing to children since it offers fun and amusing features.

Which of the following selections best explains the meaning of the passage below (paragraph 11)?
docker41 [41]

The general answer given below about the passage "Indifference the, is not only a sin, it is a punishment" is likely to help you answer the question. The reason for this general answer is that I was unable to find the answer choices for this question online:

- In his speech "The Perils of Indifference," Elie Wiesel discusses how apathy in front of human suffering can lead to a tragedy.

- By saying that indifference is a punishment, he means that being indifferent (doing nothing) when seeing others suffering is the same as hurting them.

- When we do not help a victim, we are siding with the criminal. When we do not feed the hungry or aide the sick, we are watching them die. Therefore, indifference is as cruel as hurting others.

  • Elie Wiesel is a survivor of the Holocaust. Therefore, he knows what it feels like to be beaten, starved, tortured and have no one at all help you.
  • Wiesel knows, thus, how awful indifference is. As he suffered in the hands of the Nazi, he wondered why no one did anything to help.
  • Why didn't other countries intervene to free the prisoners? Why were people watching millions of people die, killed by a cruel regime, without doing anything to stop it?
  • In "The Perils of Indifference," Wiesel condemns inaction, apathy, inertia.
  • According to him, <u>doing nothing is as good as harming</u>. If you don't help, you contribute to the suffering.
  • The only one who gains something from indifference is the criminal, the aggressor.
