Answer:

D. "It is for this reason that I wish to introduce today a proposal that has been before every Congress for the last 40 years."

Explanation:

The sentence from the options that exemplifies the use of formal language by the congresswoman is the last option, since it uses phrases like "It is for this reason" which in a less formal or more casual language should be expressed as "because of this", and in this sentece the congresswoman is trying to express the introduction of a proposal.

The answer is option D: "It is for this reason that I wish to introduce today a proposal that has been before every Congress for the last 40 years."

The statement best exemplifies the use of formal language because, to begin with, it is a complex sentence. In fact, it is a cleft sentence which begins with <em>it </em>to emphasize what comes next. Secondly, there is no ellipsis and vocabulary reflects the choice of longer words than in informal speech. Finally, the use of passive voice is typical of formal registers.

What moral question does the presence of robots and cyborgs in science fiction most often inspire? O A. Are machines capable of
IrinaVladis [17]

The correct answer is B.

The presence of robots and cyborgs in cience fiction most often makes us question what is the real difference between humans and machines.

In most of this stories, robots develop feelings and emotions, either possitive or negative, for his owners and society in general. They are treated badly in general since they are considered to be less than humans. Robots and cyborgs are built to be servants and nothing else.

But, if they develop emotions, such as love and hate, and a conscience that allows them to separate right from wrong, what really differentiate them from humans?
