This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Speaking slowly, loudly, and emphasizing the key words, the waitress asked her elderly patron, "Would you rather have a slice of lemon pie or pecan pie, dear?" What is the waitress demonstrating with this speech style?

A. common courtesy

B. stereotype threat

C. elderspeak

D. respect for the elderly

Answer:

The correct answer is letter C. elderspeak.

Explanation:

Elderspeak is a speech style characterized by adjustments such as shortening sentences, speaking louder and/or more slowly, using less complex vocabulary etc. Those adaptations are made by younger people when communicating with older adults. Such behavior derives from the stereotype that older people have reduced cognitive abilities.

Explanation:

There are some critiques to the Evolutionary Theories, among them:  Biological Deterministic way of seeing the Hominideos and in many ways reductionist, to make it complex things simpler.

Analyzing the options then:

Provide retrospective but not predictive explanations of development.

These theories were not able to fulfill a model of predicting the future, leaving it blank for speculations. Also, it does not provide a cohesive and coherent basis model to predict the Post Homo Sapiens' future.

Despite those and other criticisms, this hasn't been enough to discard the Evolutionary Theories. On the other hand, the criticisms should be open for the sake of science.

Oliga [24]

As of now, the government is doing an enough job to ensure that human rights are being protected through providing basic human rights such as food, water, and shelter. Though this is the case, we cannot deny the fact that there should be progress in terms of the different possibilities that the government may offer in order to address the current problems available right now. These human rights are being addressed, but of course, there should always be progress.
