Which statement best describes the viewpoint the author expresses about intelligence?

English
1 answer:
Alja [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A). Firsthand intelligence is more effective than secondhand intelligence.

Explanation:

Intelligence is demonstrated as the capacity to perceive information and apply it in the right context.

The first statement most clearly expresses the author's perspective on intelligence. The author gives more significance to 'firsthand intelligence' over 'secondhand intelligence' as he feels that the former is gained naturally and through personal experiences and therefore, more authentic and credible. While secondhand intelligence is less authoritative as it is gained through indirect experiences. Therefore, the application of secondhand intelligence is not as effective as personal and directly developed intelligence i.e. firsthand intelligence. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

son4ous [18]

Among the options, the one that most closely shows the meaning of "odious" as used in paragraph 80 of "A Christmas Carol" is:

A. Hateful

In general, the adjective "odious" is used to refer to something or someone who is unpleasant, dislikable, or repulsive.

In the story "A Christmas Carol," the word "odious" appears in the following manner:

<em>"It should be Christmas Day, I am sure," said she, "on which one drinks the health of such an </em><u><em>odious</em></u><em>, stingy, hard, unfeeling man as Mr. Scrooge."</em>

Here, the word is being used to talk about the main character, Mr. Scrooge, who is quite a hateful man.

Hateful not only means "filled with hatred" but also "very unpleasant". As we can see, it works as a synonym of "odious".

With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.

The complete question with options is as follows:

What does the term "odious" most closely mean as used in paragraph 80?

A. Hateful

B. Old and frail

C. Amusing

What is the main idea of the story "Broadcaster John Hilton Talks about Talking"? How does the author convey this to the audienc
xxTIMURxx [149]
I have not read the passage myself, but here are some helpful tips that can help you to figure it out. An ellipses is a series of three periods (...). Imagery is description that involves the senses, typically sight. Whatever the story makes you visualize is its imagery. Metaphors are figures of speech that contain comparisons, but do not use "like" or "as." Examples of metaphors include "the blanket of snow" or "the curtain of night." A setting is when or where the story takes place. Hope this helps.
