A discourse community can be described as a group of people that share common goals, sources of information, terminology, and methods of communication along with a certain level of expertise and knowledge on a subject. However, it is often distinguished from 'speech community' on the grounds that speech communities are sociolinguistic groupings with communicative needs such as socialisation and group solidarity, whereas discourse communities are groupings based on common interests.
Read the excerpt from My Story. She took me up a flight of stairs (the cells were on the second level), through a door covered with iron mesh, and along a dimly lighted corridor. She placed me in an empty dark cell and slammed the door closed. She walked a few steps away, but then she turned around and came back. She said, "There are two girls around the other side, and if you want to go over there with them instead of being in a cell by yourself, I will take you over there.” I told her that it didn’t matter, but she said, "Let’s go around there, and then you won’t have to be in a cell alone.” It was her way of being nice. It didn’t make me feel any better. How does Rosa Parks help the reader understand her emotions in this excerpt? by describing in detail the order of what happened to her by comparing her feelings to those of other prisoners she met by sharing the exact dimensions of the prison cell she was put in by explaining how her feelings were expressed as pain in her body
Answer:
Psychology is the branch of science that studies the mind and behavior.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs helps people understand themselves in a new way.
Explanation:
You haven't provided the passage, but based on the way the question was formalized and the options you were given, I can answer your question anyway.
Because the question asks <em>which statements</em>, we know that there is more than one correct answer. Based on the options, I can conclude that the passage tells about psychology and then about Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
A summary is a shortened version of a piece of writing (e.g. article, poem, chapter, novel). It should contain only the text's main ideas and the most important supporting details. The main idea of a text is the main point the author is making.
An objective statement is a statement based on facts. Unlike subjective statements, they are not influenced by a person's personal opinions, beliefs, feelings, or assumptions.
Only these two statements are objective and represent the main ideas:
- <em>Psychology is the branch of science that studies the mind and behavior.</em>
- <em>Maslow's hierarchy of needs helps people understand themselves in a new way.</em>
The rest of the options are supporting details and contain subjective language, which is why they can't be correct.
