Explanation:
This question is incomplete. The options for this question are:
a) Coarticulation
b) Phonemic restoration
c) Word boundary effects
d) The importance of visual cues in speech processing
When we communicate with one another we are usually using different visual cues during our speech to help the other person understand and get a better understanding of what we are saying and by our gestures we also increase the interest of our audience in what we are saying.
In this example, Heather notes that it's easier to understand her sister's speech on Skype than on telephone. It is clear that <u>when we're on the telephone we really don't see the person or their cues and gestures</u>, and we do see those when we are in Skype. These cues help us understand the speech better because these physical cues help us guide us through the speech. Therefore, the phenomenon may be an illustration of d) The importance of visual cues in speech processing
In Roman society, the aristocrats were known as patricians. The highest positions in the government were held by two consuls, or leaders, who ruled the Roman Republic. A senate composed of patricians elected these consuls. At this time, lower-class citizens, or plebeians, had virtually no say in the government.
Individualism is very different from selfishness. An individualistic person, is someone "anti social" who likes solitude, and prefers to be alone, read, listen to music, think and so on. That is, it is a personality characteristic.
It is definitely possible that the opposite of this question occurs. It is possible that a majority of voters might support liberalization even though it would hurt a lot of voters if implemented. This is because people do not always have their best interest at heart. Sometimes, this is because of poor information (people might not realize that something benefits them/affects them) while some other times it is because other factors do not let people see the truth (such as intense ideological or religious feeling).
