MANY FOODS HOLD AWESOME AMOUNTS OF ENERGY. What does a burning cheese curl have to do with energy? Ask Joe Cifelli. He's a profe

ssor at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. He also teaches fourth graders about nutrition—the science of food and diet. The first lesson is setting cheese curls on fire. Cheese curls burn because they contain energy. "Food is energy," Cifelli explains. Fire consumes that energy when Cifelli burns a cheese curl. When you eat food, you are putting energy into your body. You use energy in many different ways—running on the playground, walking the dog, and brushing your teeth. Everything your body does requires energy, even breathing and thinking. Energy is measured in units called calories. Scientists figure out how many calories are in a food by burning it, much as Cifelli does, but they use a device called a bomb calorimeter. That machine measures the heat given off by the burning food. People on diets often worry about the calories they eat and count calories like wannabe scientists. But calories aren't bad! In fact, most kids need between 1,600 and 2,500 calories per day to grow and be healthy. If you eat more calories than you burn off, your body stores that energy. "It's like gasoline," Cifelli says. "If you don't burn it, your body will put it in a storage tank." Your body turns unused calories into fat for storage. Having too much fat and being overweight can cause health problems. But you can work to stay at a healthy weight by listening to your body; be active and don't eat unless you feel hungry. Healthy eating, Cifelli claims, is just a matter of understanding the energy that goes in and the energy that is burned off. "It's about making choices," he says. Joe Cifelli says people are surprised by how much energy is in food. A Hershey Kiss has 26 calories, Cifelli says. That doesn't sound like much, but if a machine could turn all that energy into power, it could lift a car six feet off the ground! When you eat, your body uses most of that energy to digest your food and keep the trillions of cells in your body running smoothly. After reading the passage, what can you conclude about Joe Cifelli? A) He doesn’t like teaching fourth graders. B) He likes to eat cheese curls and chocolate. C) He is very educated about nutrition. D) He is overweight and doesn’t exercise.

Musya8 [376]

The option that describes a deconstructionist approach to a text is - complicates the meaning of the text. Deconstructionists like to dig deep into the text, and find meanings that aren’t obvious at the first, second, or even the third glance. They like to analyze texts so much that they bear everything within their interpretation, and get to the very core of the text, thus complicating something that would otherwise have been a simple analysis.

Which statement best explains why the evidence provided in the text is a fallacy? The speaker uses anecdotal evidence with phras
MrRissso [65]

Fallacy is the use of faulty arguments which are not valid and as such are <em>rendered untrue </em>because of the way they are presented in the argument. <em>Some fallacies look valid,</em> but are still fallacious because <em>they do not satisfy</em> an important logical premise.

As a result of this, we can see that there are various types of fallacy and they include:

  • Fallacy of Hasty Generalisation
  • Argumentum ad Baculum
  • Argumentum ad Hominem
  • Slippery Slope

For example, when we use Argumentum ad Baculum (appeal to force), we try to make use of force to silence a person who has made a very valid and logical argument.

For example, when you tell a person, "I will soon slap you if you do not close up your mouth" is an appeal to force or Argumentum ad Baculum

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview so that you would get a better understanding of the concept.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

I'm not completely sure but I would say: C.) Unlike Michelangelo, few painters had the talent to also sculpt statues.

It is the "also" that makes it sound off.
