A functional text is a text to fulfill a certain function, such as instruction manual or description of getting somewhere. A dialogue would be too confusing and redundant for this purpose; the best functional text would simply describe the information it needs to provide in a clear manner.
Answer:
4. Should be studying
Explanation:
The predicate is the part of a sentence (or clause) that contains a verb, stating what the subject is doing, or describes the subject.
When we have a main verb and an auxiliary verb accompanying it, both of them together form the predicate. In the given sentence, we have a construction with a main verb<em> to study </em>and an auxiliary verb <em>should:</em> <em>should be studying</em>. If you chose just<em> studying</em> or <em>should be</em> as the predicate, that would be incorrect as those two options are not the complete predicate.
Civil disobedience is a form of activism. It is when a
citizen declares his refusal to adhere to certain commands of the government. It
is a non-violent, peaceful demonstration of citizens usually against social
injustices. It includes marches, strikes, protests and blockades. Its mission
is to raise awareness about certain issues in the community and inspire others
to join in a cause. It is often done well-timed, when there is an opportunity
to be seen/ heard (e.g. elections, court hearings, conferences etc).
This is how civil disobedience influence legislation or
government policy:
1. The Government,
which is created by the people, for the people, is bound to listen especially
when the majority display civil disobedience. It is obliged to focus its
attention on the dilemma--social injustice. The laws now can be modified by the
Government officials to serve the people, not the other way around.
2. In politics, personalities in Government often betoken themselves
with certain values. During election, the citizens tend to appoint those who
sympathize with their concerns. A community who is keen on fighting social
injustice, will choose to put politicians who also believe in the same movement
to represent them and initiate the fight against social injustice in the
administration.
