Can video games be addictive? A recent study by Iowa State University concluded that 1 in 12 American children between the ages of 8 and 18 are addicted to video games. This figures show “gaming” as an addictive pathology, the same way that people are addicted to drugs or gambling. "Pathological gamers" spend more than 24 hours a week playing video games, which is twice the amount of time spent by most players. Researchers are concerned that the United Sates may be following in the footsteps of South Korea. South Korea has more than one hundred clinics to treat video-game addiction. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than two hours a day of "screen time." this includes television, movies and the internet.

Answer:

  1. A recent study by Iowa Sate University concluded that 1 in 12 American children between the ages of 8 and 18 are addicted to video games, the same way that people are addicted to drugs or gambling.
  2. "Pathological gamers" spend more than 24 hours a week playing video games, twice the amount of time spent by most players.
  3. Researchers are concerned that the United Sates may be following in the footsteps of South Korea, which has more than one hundred clinics to treat video-game addiction.

Explanation:

Sentence fragments lack a subject and verb, and do not express a complete thought. Thus, the sentence fragments that should be joined to other sentences as independent clauses to express a complete thought are:

  • The same way that people are addicted to drugs or gambling.
  • Twice the amount of time spent by most players.
  • Which has more than one hundred clinics to treat video-game addiction.

padilas [110]

Answer:

Well if the bird is a pet it needs to stay in the cage to not fly around all over the place. For instance if an animal is injured or sickly with healthy problems staying in a cage is safer for it because it will not get hurt in the wild.

Reading comprehension: How many years did Oisin spend in Tir na nOg? How do you think Niamh felt when Oisin didn't return to Tir
larisa [96]

Answer and Explanation:

1. he spent 300 years in Tir na nOg, although without realizing it, because the time in Tir na nOg passes differently.

2. she felt immensely sad and disappointed, as she had informed him that he should return to Tir na nOg and warned him not to touch the Irish floor, or his return would be impossible and she wished him to return, as they were in love .

3. When reading the story we can say that Tir na nOg is a magical and mystical land. This is because there is no disease or sadness on this land, and the inhabitants do not age, as time passes too slowly. So everyone can maintain their strength and beauty.

4. She said that he would not be able to return if he set foot on the ground in Ireland, that is, if he returned to reality. This is a great tip, because if he left, he would probably die, due to the life span he had assumed.

5. Probably because she didn't want him to be tempted to test the result of putting his feet on the floor.

6. I believe that living in Tir na nOg would be a punishment, as we would suffer for not seeing our family and not being able to allow them to enjoy the same privileges.

What does atticus say about the assumtions mayella and bob ewell made in coming foward as witnesses
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The trial begins. Heck Tate is the first witness. Under cross-examination, he admits that a doctor was never called to the scene to examine Mayella Ewell. Bob Ewell takes the stand next and causes a stir in the courtroom with his bad attitude and foul language. Mr. Ewell is not shaken from his story, but Atticus carefully plants the seed that Mr. Ewell himself could've beaten Mayella. Mayella takes the stand next. Even though Atticus believes that she's lying, he treats her with courtesy and respect; Mayella thinks that he's making fun of her. Her testimony soon proves that Mayella is unused to gentility and common courtesy. Atticus asks Tom to stand up so that Mayella may identify him; as he does, Scout notices that Tom's left arm is withered and useless — he could not have committed the crime in the way it was described. The state rests its case.

Atticus calls only one witness — Tom Robinson. Tom tells the true story, being careful all the while not to come right out and say that Mayella is lying. However, Tom makes a fatal error when he admits under cross-examination that he, a black man, felt sorry for Mayella Ewell. Dill has a very emotional response to Mr. Gilmer's questioning and leaves the courtroom in tears. Scout follows Dill outside, where they talk with Dolphus Raymond, who reveals the secret behind his brown bag and his drinking. Scout and Dill return to the courtroom in time to hear the last half of Atticus' impassioned speech to the jury. Just as Atticus finishes, Calpurnia walks into the courtroom and heads toward Atticus.
