In April 1775 British soldiers, called lobsterbacks because of their red coats, and minutemen—the colonists' militia—exchanged gunfire at Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts. Described as "the shot heard round the world," it signaled the start of the American Revolution and led to the creation of a new nation.

Answer:

a. transience.

Explanation:

The options for this question are missing. The options are:

A. transience.

B. absentmindedness.

C. retroactive interference.

D. proactive interference.

In psychology, the term transience refers to the decreasing ability to retrieve something that we already learned either from our long-term-memory or short-term-memory. This can happen because of brain damage but also because of lack of practice.

In this example, Amber took 4 years of Spanish and then 2 years of spanish in college but one year after she graduates she realizes that she remembers very little of the Spanish language. We can see that her ability to retrieve what she learned decreased over that year, therefore this would illustrate the concept of transience.

In a class in which the final course grade depends entirely on the average of four equally weighted 100-point tests, Alice has s

IgorC [24]

Answer:

between 62 and 98.

Explanation:

This question can be solved faily easy:

We denote "B" as the value average of the four test values for B score (between 80 - 89) and "X" as the score on the 4th test so to find the range of values that Alice needs to score in the 4th test we only have to replace in the next formula:

$B=\frac{94 + 77 + 87 + X}{4}$

$X=4*B-94-77-87$

We reformulate the equation in function of B

We have the next range of values for "B" (80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89), we replace those values in the formula and operate to get the range of values we need to score in the 4th test.

$X=4*80-94-77-87=62$

$X=4*81-94-77-87=66$

$X=4*82-94-77-87=70$

$X=4*83-94-77-87=74$

$X=4*84-94-77-87=78$

$X=4*85-94-77-87=82$

$X=4*86-94-77-87=86$

$X=4*87-94-77-87=90$

$X=4*88-94-77-87=94$

$X=4*89-94-77-87=98$

As we can see for Alice to get a B for the semester she needs to score on the 4th test a score between 62 and 98 points.

Explanation:

Tone is the author's attitude toward his or her subject, characters, and readers. It is achieved through word choice (diction), sentence construction and word order (syntax), and by what the viewpoint character or the narrator focuses on. The tone of a piece can be happy, sad, melancholic, sarcastic, etc. The words chosen by the author will help convey such tone.

Video game players who are likely to AGREE with statements like "I enjoy finding new and creative ways to work through video gam

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Challenge

Explanation:

Challenging activities tend to be a great motivator for people. This happens because many people get satisfaction from having to overcome some particular level of difficulty and find it rewarding to being able to overcome this difficulty and continue on.

In the example, video game players state that they "enjoy finding new and creative ways to work through video games" and "find very rewarding to get to the next level".

Both statements indicate how much they enjoy the challenge of coming up with creative solutions or ways to get to the next level and they find this rewarding. Thus, we can say that they see video games as a challenging activity and view challenge as a motivator for engaging in game playing.
