ur mountain regions are unique and beautiful places. We must preserve them for future generations. One of the most serious threa

ts to our mountains is ridgetop development. Large housing developments built on steep slopes and along mountain ridges are unsightly. Also, they adversely affect the scenic views that draw tourists to our region each year. Who wants to drive to the mountains to see not the lovely tree-covered outline of the gently sloping mountain ridges against the sky, but rows of houses jutting from the ridges and slopes with little or no tree cover between them? With tourism as the biggest industry in our area, maintaining our scenic ridgelines is crucial to continued economic success here. Ridgetop development not only detracts from scenic mountain views and threatens our area’s top industry, it also harms the environment. Stripping large areas to create multiple building sites removes the trees and other plants. These resources provide natural erosion barriers on steep slopes. Large housing developments on ridges often increase erosion and runoff into streams and rivers. What type of essay is this, primarily? narrative persuasive expository descriptive

The main theme of this essay is to expose the disadvantages of building housing developments on ridgetops, thereby accomplishing the purpose of urging readers to dissuade such developments.  From the nature of its one sided view of the disadvantages of ridgetop development, it is definitely a persuasive essay.

Answer:

Persuasive essay.

Explanation:

Persuasive essay is the type of essay where the writer is trying to influence or make a point about what is being discussed in the essay. It's main aim is to try to persuade the readers about one specific idea or opinion.

The passage in the question is a description of the scenario involving the trees and the Ridgetop Development plans. In this essay, the writer is trying to convince the readers about the demerits of this development plan. It implores to them to think of the future, and the need to preserve the mountainous regions for the future generations. And also the environmental problems it will bring if all the trees are removed and replaced with houses, the problem of soil erosion imminent with the removal of trees etc.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Rory is following the “<u>zoo</u> approach” to intercultural encounters.

Explanation:

When using the "zoo approach" to interact with a different culture, the individual observes this new culture the same way they would observe animals in a zoo; everything is exotic, foreign, different, and the humans at the other side of the cage are normal and free while the animals are the ones who are locked in their ways. However, even though this approach can sometimes be positive and teach interesting information, it is a limited perspective.

Quoting the book "<em>Ethics in intercultural and international Communication</em>", by Fred L. Casmir: "<em>One may discover amazing, interesting and valuable information by using such a perspective and even develop a real fondness for those exotic people, but miss the point that we are as culturally "caged" as others and that they are culturally as "free" as we are.</em>"

I'd say B and D. Elementary school reports don't necessarily equate to knowledge of a subject (and research on the branches of government doesn't help you know <em>how</em> to govern), so A is out. C is nice, but popularity and charm do not a leader make, he might have ulterior motives to being as such, maybe taking advantage of the power? B and D show things he has done that would give him useful skills in the position.
