Answer:

A. It affects many.  

D. democracy

Explanation:

The word "epidemic" has the Greek root "dem", which, as you saw in the question above, means "people". This root gives the word the concept of "many people", for this reason, an epidemic is an infection that is affecting many people at the same time and in the same place.

The same root "dem", can be found in the word "democracy", that the word that indicates a region where the government is established according to the will and sovereignty of the people, that is, once again the concept of "many people "can be established.

In the novel "<em>The Old Man and the Sea" </em>by<em> Ernest Hemingway</em>, there are many  images.

  • Line 9: Image of number 40The repetitive use of the number forty throughout the novel. After 40 days ( which is exactly the duration it took Christ to live again) Manolin's parents decided that <em>"the old man was now and definitely salao, which is the worst form of unlucky"</em> The complete paragraph emphasizes Santiago's being unlucky. For example, "<em>It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty."</em>
  • Line 10: image of old age and eyesAt first, the author shows his main character as defeated and old. He refers to his scars as <em>"old as erosions in a fishless desert". </em>But, there are also images of Santiago's eyes, that in contrast to his old body are shown as " <em>...they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated".</em>
  • Line 30: the sea tha main character of the book, Santiago, represents the sea as a woman, "always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favors, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them"<em>. </em> He feels that he complements himself with the sea ( man and woman intertiwined)
  • Line 37: a turtleSantiago compares himself to a turtle ( he has worked at a turtle ship before) He says "<em>most people are heartless about turtles because a turtle's heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered... I have such a heart too and my hands and feet are like theirs"</em>

In your own words, why is organizing your notes into a study guide an important step when studying for tests?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

When you're organizing, you're taking into account the contents of the notes, so whilst you are doing something as simple as organizing you are unknowingly using passive recall in order to remember what each sheet covers and the best order to place everything in.

Which revisions describe how to correct this fused sentence? Check all that apply. Eliana heard the phone ring she ran to answer
garri49 [273]

Answer:

  • 2) Add a period after ring and capitalize the first letter of she.  
  • 3) Add a semicolon after ring.

Explanation:

The sentence described above is a compound sentence as it contains at least two independent clauses. The end of the first independent clause is ''ring'' so changes need to be made after this word to properly punctuate and join these independent clauses.

One way is to add a period after the ring but then also capitalize he first letter of she because the clauses are now separated. The other way is to add a semicolon after the ring.
