In his 2012 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama said: "Nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in Ameri

can-made energy. We've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration, and more than 75% of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. Right now, American oil production is the highest that it's been in 8 years. Last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past 16 years. But with only 2% of the world's oil reserves, oil isn't enough. This country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy—a strategy that's cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs." Analyze the types of appeal used in President Obama's statement. Use your findings and examples from the text to explain whether this is an argument or persuasion. Answer in a minimum of three complete sentences.

This is an argument, because Obama is striving to prove that America needs a new strategy for energy. In this argument he uses logos when he gives the audience specific statistics to support his point. He also uses pathos when he appeals to the emotions of the audience, the emotion of hope for a brighter and cleaner future.

Which of the following is NOT an opinion expressed by the men on Joe’s porch?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

C. Sykes is a violent man who has killed three women

Explanation:

This is the question regarding Zora Neale Hurston's short story "Sweat".

The story tells about Delia, a wash-woman, who is married to Sykes, an abusive, unfaithful, violent husband.

The particular question refers to the scene where few local men, after seeing Delia carrying laundry on her pony, start talking about her.

They first noticd how hardworking she is and how fifteen years of bad marriage changed her appearance.

Then they start talking about her husband, Sykes, blaming him for mistreating his wife, expressing their lack of nice words for him.

However, although considering him violent, they don't state that he has killed three women; they only say the amount of beating Delia took was enough to kill three women, which can be seen from the line:

"He done beat huh ‘nough tuh kill three women, let ‘lone change they looks,” said Elijah Moseley.

NeTakaya
Tree height: 32 2/5
Flagpole: 5/9 * 32 2/5
Ramiro: 3/10 * Flagpole

5/9 * 32 2/5 =
= 5/9 * 162/5 =
= 1/9 * 162/1 =
= 1/1 * 18/1 =
= 1 * 18 =
= 18 [feet]

So the flagpole is 18 feet tall. Ramiro is 3/10 of its height, so:

3/10 * 18 =
= 54/10 =
= 5 4/10 =
= 5 2/5

Answer: Ramiro is 5 2/5 feet tall.
