Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone. There was not a uniform in the group, although a few members of the ambulance team wore ca

mouflage fatigues. The caravan crossed the Potomac River at Point of Rocks and hit Leesburg Pike just as rush hour began. The traffic became bumper to bumper, and the officers began to get frustrated. It took them two hours to reach the monkey house, contending the whole way with ill-tempered commuters. Finally the column turned into the office park, which by that time was filling up with workers. The supply van and the ambulance were driven along the side of the monkey house, up onto a lawn, and were parked behind the building, to get them out of sight. The back of the building presented a brick face, some narrow windows, and a glass door. The door was the insertion point. They parked the supply van up close to the door.
Which statement best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph? A)Withholding information from the public is routine policy.
B)Choosing a point of entry can be extremely tricky.
C)The military always takes many safety precautions.
D)Great care was taken to keep the truth from the public.

Answer:

D) Great care was taken to keep the truth from the public.

Explanation:

The way the supply van and ambulance personnel approached the monkey house support that statement: most of them were not wearing a uniform, and they did not enter through the main door but parked behind the building which “presented a brick face, some narrow windows, and a glass door.” All of this indicates that they did not want to be recognized, and instead, wanted to prevent people from seeing what was really going on. We can summarize, then, that the central idea of this paragraph is that “great care was taken to keep the truth from the public.”

Which logical fallacy does the example contain?
svetoff [14.1K]

The correct option is C: Slippery slope. This type of fallacy suggests that a certain or certain events will take place with no real or sufficient evidence to prove so. This is the case, especially with events that seem unlikely to happen given the circumstances. In this example, the reasoning goes like this: if Quentin fails to pass his math test, as a consequence, he will lose the opportunity of going to college and he will have to live in his parent’s basement for the rest of his life. However, the fact that he does not pass this test is not enough evidence that those two situations will actually take place. For example, Quentin may take the test again and try passing it, or if he eventually cannot enter college, he can look for a job that is profitable and that will allow him to become independent and move from his parent’s house, etc.

Write a one page essay explaining how the electoral college works and also explains whether or not you believe the Electoral col
GalinKa [24]

Explanation:

The electoral college can be understood as a group of people chosen to represent voters and appoint the president and vice president every four years.

Therefore, each State has a number of delegates corresponding to and proportionate to its population and to the deputies and senators of that State, and so each delegate is represented by one vote and each candidate needs to obtain a number corresponding to 270 or more to be elected.

This system was created in conjunction with the American constitution and had the central objective of allowing greater control over voting due to the precarious communication at the time, and there is also a predilection for the electoral college by smaller states, which feel more represented in the use of this system.

However, there is still a very long delay in the counting of votes and perhaps this system may not reflect the will of the majority of the population, since even if a candidate has a greater number of total votes, he cannot win the contest if he does not win in the delegates.

It is interesting that there is a restructuring of this American electoral system, duly voted by the population to choose whether direct voting would be a faster and more democratic option.

An idea of ​​modernization would be the adoption of a voting system by electronic ballot boxes, with high anti-fraud protection and greater speed and security in the counting of votes and results.
