Answer:
An article from last week's The New York Times about H5N1 research
Explanation:
The given question refers to the following passage from When Birds Get the Flu written by John DiConsiglio:
<em>In 2005, a study began testing a possible bird flu vaccine on 450 people. The vaccine uses a type of bird flu that was found in Southeast Asia in 2004. Some of the early results are promising. But as of spring 2007, there is still no vaccine available for H5N1.</em>
The researcher would most likely consult an article from last week's The New York Times about H5N1 research. News articles should be objective, which means that they shouldn't reveal the journalist's opinions, feelings, beliefs, or assumptions about what they're writing about. When writing articles about illnesses, reputable news sources rely on properly conducted research. This is why we could say that an article relying on research would be the best option.
A student's research paper wouldn't be a good source because students often don't know how to choose good sources themselves. This results in factually incorrect research papers.
Wiki pages can be edited by anyone, which is why they should be used with caution. Statements made by survivors of an illness are not a credible source.
Medical companies can be considered a credible source, but an advertisement wouldn't be a very useful source.
This is why the second option is the correct one.
Answer:
The sentence which possesses a tone that would be most appealing to a professor is:
d. Please allow me the opportunity to argue for a better grade.
Explanation:
A situation such as this, in which you need to address someone who is hierarchically superior to you and who has the power to change something that affects you, demands a certain type of tone and style. Since this refers to you addressing a professor, we can assume the use of formal language will be seen in more of a positive light. But that is not all. Politeness and diplomacy are also crucial. Take a look at option B, for instance. Even though the language is fine, it lacks diplomacy. It accuses the professor of having been sloppy, which will most likely offend him.
<u>The best option is letter D. It uses formal language, and the sentence itself is polite, without any unnecessary assumptions or accusations.</u>
This question is a very open one and i'm not sure what exactly you need to know but you'll need to do a lot of planning. Generally you need to develop an idea of the setting, plot line, characters and the overall meaning or topic of the story. It really helps if you know how you want the story to end so you can create plot twists and use foreshadowing to hint at future events. Most importantly you need creativity and inspiration, write something you think you would read if you were looking for something to enjoy.
