Answer:
Erica is suffering from <u>situational anxiety.</u>
<u />
Explanation:
Situational anxiety is different from Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which is a continuous state of worrying that's independent from the situation. Situational anxiety is caused by new elements in a situation, or completely new situations. Those changes cause the person to temporarily lose their ability to stay calm. In Erica's case, one element has changed when compared to previous situations. Even though she is used to giving presentations, she is not used to giving them to her co-workers. The new element is what is making her nervous about it. Maybe she fears being judged by her peers more harshly than by her students, for instance.

Damp is a negative word used to describe humidity; pretty much like moist, but while moist has a positive connotation (moist is desirable), damp has a negative one (nobody wants to live in a damp house). Brown, on the other hand, is a color associated with sadness, isolation and loneliness. The words “Damp and Brown” in the poem are used by the author to create a visual imagery of a not so pleasant sad beach. The author is using visual imagery to to make the poem more haunting or unsettling.
We can conclude that the correct answer is: to make the poem more haunting or unsettling.
Answer and explanation:
In the story called "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allan Poe, we find, as stated in the task, that the ourang-outang represents one kind of outsider to the society of Paris. But looking deeply into the lines of the story, we can also think that the hero, the detective called Dupin, is himself another kind of outsider. That's due to his kind of personality: a very cold cand calculating person, nearly emotionless.
Answer:
The option which best states the author's overall purpose in this text is:
D. To inform the reader of a theory that attempts to explain why generations act the way they do.
Explanation:
I looked this question up and found out it concerns the text "What Past Generations Can Teach Us About Our Future," by former Newsweek correspondent Mike Kubic (born in 1927).
According to the article, Strauss & Howe developed a theory that explains and, in a way, even predicts how each generation will act. There are four "turnings" or stages which generations go through. According to Strauss & Howe's observations, these stages always happen in the same order: high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis. The generation belonging to each turning will always present certain traits and behaviors concerning their sense of community, individualism, economic prosperity, respect for institutions, etc.
<u>According to Kubic, this theory has been both praised and criticized, even though, so far, it has been able to successfully make predictions about the American society. However, it is important to note that Kubic does not praise or criticize it himself. All he does is describe and explain it. His purpose is to inform readers about the existence of the theory.</u>
