Answer: C. By making them seem like people.

Explanation: In the given passage from “Three Skeleton Key” the author manages to communicate the power of rats by making them seem like people, we can clearly see that because he refers to the rat as "intelligent," "seawise," and also "strong" and "fierce." The author also uses personification by saying that the rats are able to put the best of mariners to shame with their knowledge of the sea.

Identify the reason of unacceptable paraphrase in the 2nd paragraph.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The paraphrase in the second paragraph is unacceptable because it represents plagiarism.

Explanation:

A paraphrase occurs when the author of a text rewrites a sentence in another text, modifying the words but keeping the meaning. When a paraphrase is made, it is important that references to the author and the original text are made so that the paraphrase does not become plagiarism.

In the second paragraph shown in the question above, we have an example of plagiarism, since the author repeated complete sentences from the first paragraph, changing only the order in which they are established. Furthermore, he did not present the references to the original author of the sentences, thus being a case of plagiarism.

It is important to point out that plagiarism occurs when a text is copied in its entirety and references to the author are not presented.

How did world war 2 extend the age of transition
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

(hope this helps can I please have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Explanation:

By 1944, the home front had begun the transition to peacetime, despite the fact that World War II (1939–45) was still raging elsewhere. In 1943, full industrial and agricultural war production was attained, indicating the potential to satisfy continuous Allied requirements for war materials and food.

While war manufacturing did not halt or stop, it was no longer necessary to place a specific emphasis on war mobilisation. It was up to the military forces on the battlefield to win, and the odds of success were improving as time passed. Despite the fact that some of the heaviest and deadliest conflicts were yet to come, government and business strategists began to plan for calm. When the conflict came to an end.

The US was on the verge of becoming one of the world's superpowers: the economy was booming, the population was rising, and the military was stronger than it had ever been. Americans were eager to enjoy wealth and peace after giving their all in the war effort. The nation's status as a world power would be propelled for the rest of the twentieth century by the legacy of World War II's home front events.
