Answer:

A) The article quotes experts and statistics to support the claim is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since Preston is writing an essay, there are many things to consider. One of the most important ones is the tone, so irony and humor might not be the best for this type of writing or for his goal (consumerism.) Even though it could be helpful to give an example, if the essay told the story of one family, this could be understood as one particular case and not the general situation, meaning it would not be enough to prove Preston's point. A question and answer format would not be the most proper for the essay, since it could limit Preston's ideas to what is asked in the question. A is correct because the writer wants to show a specific point and experts quotes and statistics are usually more specialized than the other options, or they are based on other previous studies and not on particular situations, helping Preston to give a more general idea of consumerism and its effects.

Write a brief summary of "Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death!"​
vivado [14]

Answer:

The story speaks about how the astronauts cope with boredom in space.

Explanation:

The article "Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You To Death" is written by Maggie Koerth-Baker. The article begins with six astronauts living on the slopes of volcano for a project named HI-SEAS.

They began with a pretending game of "What if we lived on Mars?" The astronauts are studying how people react on spending large  amount of time in space. According to the article, it takes eight months on each way and the astronauts get to spend a large amount of time in the space and they must get bored of these long times.

The writer reveals that these chronic boredom times can be very dangerous as it makes the astronauts day dream and make them depressed also. So, they should engage themselves in various tasks to avoid getting bored as it involves the risk of life of other crew members as well.

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

                                                                                      Universal Model School,

                                                                                      90 Aba Owerri Road,

                                                                                      Aba,

                                                                                      Abia State.

                                                                                      April 25, 2021.

The Honorable Minister of Roads and Highways,

Federal Ministry of Roads and Highways,

Federal Secretariat,

Abuja.

    Sir,

                 DEPLORABLE STATE OF ROADS IN SOUTH-EAST NIGERIA

     It is with deep sense of urgency that I write to you regarding the deplorable state of some roads in south-east Nigeria. These roads include; Enugu-PortHarcourt expressway, Akokwa-Uga expressway and Old Umuahia road.

    These roads are all strategic to sustainable of trade between south -east Nigeria and other regions of the country. The continuous neglect of these roads have led to a great downturn in the economy of south- east Nigeria.

      Secondly, the poor state of these roads have hindered direct foreign investment in south- east Nigeria. Many potential investors do not bring their investments to this region of the country for fear of failure of the business due to poor state of access roads in the region.

      Lastly, lack of access roads in this region have greatly enhanced capital flight out of the region. This in turn have fueled unemployment and consequent youth restiveness which currently threatens the peace of this region of the country.

      I plead with you sir, to consider us in this region and quickly see to the initiation and completion of maintenance work on these affected express roads that link south- east Nigeria to other regions of the country.

     Thanks in anticipation of our positive response.

                                                                                       Yours Faithfully,

                                                                                        Jude Njoku

Why is the number 3 significant with Dante Alighieri?
mariarad [96]
The number 3 is everywhere in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy<span>. For one thing, the poem itself is structured according to the rhyme scheme terza rima, which uses stanzas of three lines that employ interlocking rhymes (aba bcb cdc, etc.). Additionally, there are nine circles of Hell (three multiplied by three), Satan has three faces, and three beasts (a lion, a leopard, and a wolf) threaten Dante at the beginning of the Inferno. There are many more examples of three, but the overall important thing to understand is that the number three largely governs the structure of Dante's poem. Indeed, you can think of the number three as the scaffolding on which the rest of the poem's content is hung. This number is significant because three is a central number in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, especially in terms of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). As such, just as the whole of the Christian world is governed by a three-in-one God, Dante's poem is governed by the number three. Thus, Dante's obsession with the number three mirrors the prevalence of three in the Christian tradition. </span><span />
