Answer:

The correct punctuation is as follow:

Explanation:

After eating lunch at the cafeteria, Ben went to the gym to have a swim. You need to place a comma after the word cafeteria to separate these two sentences.
Due to the damage caused by the storm, the ferry will not be running today. Again, a comma is needed here to separate the two sentences.
The company’s training session, which was due to take place on Tuesday, has been postponed. Here, you need to put the appositive (that additional information about the training session), in between commas, or you can put it in parentheses to separate it from the rest of the sentence.
If you are going to college this autumn, don’t forget to sign up for a discount card. Since the dependent clause is found at the beginning of the sentence (If you are going to college this autumn), you need to put a comma after it, like in sentence 1.

tekilochka [14]

I think it is because personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Identify the logical fallacy demonstrated in each excerpt. false dile

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<u>false dilemma: </u>Increasing our city's debt to improve our roads is better than letting all our cars be destroyed because of all the pot holes.

<u>false analogy:</u> Driving to work instead of using public transportation is like not eating everything on your plate. It wastes valuable resources.

<u>ad hominem: </u>Our current mayor has been in politics for over 25 years. It is time that we have a younger mayor, so we can have fresh ideas to make our city better.

<u>red herring:</u> It is true that the city council did approve a tax for a new road construction project. However, our city needs to attract more businesses to stabilize our economy.

Explanation:

False dilemma occurs when the listener is asked to pick between two options as if no other one was available, when this is not the case. In this example, the author claims that debt or the destruction of all cars are the only options, when this is most likely not the case.

A false analogy occurs when two things are compared, but do not in fact share as many qualities as the author would want the audience to think. This is the case between the use of public transportation and eating everything on your plate.

Ad hominem is an overgeneralization. It occurs when an author implies that all things being discussed are the same, without significant evidence. In this case, the author implies that all young people have fresh ideas, and that all are more desirable than old people.

A red herring fallacy occurs when an author distracts the audience by introducing a completely separate and independent idea that is not related to the rest of the argument. In this case, the tax approved and the need for business are not related. The second topic is used as a distraction.

What is the main idea of characteristics of Indian literature

padilas [110]

Answer:

<h3>Indian literature:</h3>

•Religion.

•Deeds.

•Human Values.

•Obedience.

•Bravery.

•Love.

•Morality.

•Poetic Form.

Explanation:

<h3 /><h3>Religion:</h3>

Based on the ancient history of India dominated by Brahmins, the upper educated ruling priestly class, Religion (Spirituality) was the primary concern.

Attaining heaven (Mukti) and Reincarnation are the two main focus of Hinduism. Charity (Dana) is the concept that is emphasized in Vedas to attain heaven according to the doctrine of Karma.

<h3>Deeds:</h3>

Deeds of the past determine the state of the present’ is the concept of reincarnation. If noble deeds are done in the past, noble birth in the present is assured. Ramayana is the story of Ram, the reincarnation of Lord Vishnu.

<h3>Human values:</h3>

Human values are also a characteristic of Indian literature within the broader web of ‘Religion’. Obedience- to the one above, to keep up the words spoken i.e not breaking promises at any cost, bravery- in war are the important values imparted through the sacred books and epics.

<h3>Obedience:</h3>

Obedience to the above – it can mean a person in power or an elder person. As in Ramayana, Ram obeyed his father Dasharatha when asked to go into exile and Hanuman (an ape hero) obeys Sugriva (the ape king) immediately when he was asked to go in search of Sita, Rama’s wife.

Keeping up promises at any cost is seen in Ramayana where Kaikeyi, one of the three wives of Dasharatha gets two promises according to which she wants Rama to be sent in exile and her son Bharata to be crowned as a king, which the king fulfils and Rama, the first legal son to be crowned is sent in exile and Bharata is asked to be crowned even at the cost of his life.

<h3>Bravery:</h3>

Bravery in war front is seen in both Ramayana and Mahabharata which involves the two great epic wars; The Ramayana war and The Mahabharata war- battle at Kurukshetra where the army of both the parties [(Rama and Ravana in Ramayana) and (Pandavas and Kauravas in Mahabharata)] fight bravely for victory.

Love’ is one of the major characteristic focused on Indian literature. All forms of love as Parental love (In Janaka, king of Mithila made him accept Sita; found in-furrow of the field, as his daughter and Dasharatha dies after Rama is sent to exile), Marital love (In Sita, that she accompanied her husband Rama into exile), love of brothers (In Lakshmana that he accompanied Rama into exile and in Bharata that he rejected the crown) and love of friends (in Karna that he stands by Kauravas against his own brothers) are included.

<h3>Morality:</h3>

Virtue rewarded and vice punished is the justice done according to the Dharma, which is a characteristic of Indian literature. Ravana and Kauravas vices of Ramayana and Mahabharata were defeated in war and were killed.

Indian literature reflects the caste system that existed during that period. It is according to Vedas, people are divided into four Varna based on their profession; Brahmins (that includes priests and learned men), Kshatriyas (that includes aristocrats, knights, soldiers and other administrators), Vaishya (that include peasants and businessmen) and Shudras (who were employed in other menial labours. This caste system is employed in the two epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata.

<h3>Poetic form:</h3>

The poetic form was considered as the standard written form in ancient India, that Indian literature was in verses. Ramayana has 24,000 verses and Mahabharata has over 100,000 verses that it takes time for readers to understand them. Sacred books were also in the poetic form called Mantras that are recited during worship. All these forms the characteristic of Indian literature.

<h3><em><u>Hop</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u> it</u></em><em><u> helps</u></em><em><u> you</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>.</u></em></h3><h3><em><u>Y-</u></em><em><u>your</u></em><em><u> welcome</u></em><em><u> in</u></em><em><u> advance</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>.</u></em></h3><h3><u>(｡ŏ﹏ŏ)</u><u>(ㆁωㆁ)</u></h3>
