Answer:

B. The radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

Explanation:

The War of the Worlds is a book by H. G. Wells, which was also adapted as a radio broadcast by Orson Welles. In its book form, the story is told after the events (a Martian invasion) have taken place. They are also told in a more matter-of-fact tone. On the other hand, in the radio broadcast, the events are told in a way that makes it seem as if they were happening in the moment. The speaker sounds more scared, and the overall tone is more surprised.

Write a 4-6 sentence paragraph explaining why the word "diversity" is an appropriate key word for twentieth-century arts.

Nikolay [14]

The art of the twentieth century is largely a reflection of political, social, economic changes, which took place very quickly. As such, art has rejected traditional prejudices and concepts, in an attempt to respond to a faster lifestyle and challenges of the twentieth century. There are many different artistic directions, first as the heirs of modernism from the end of the nineteenth century, but completely new and independent. Art was thus associated with all the changes, openly criticized, and absorbed all these changes by open eyes, and remained independent. New perspectives, concepts, massive artistic productions, minimalism, have been created, as a way of fast and efficient artistic action and a reflection of reality. There has been a space for a variety of perceptions, concepts and artistic opinions, pop art as the thesis that everyone has fifteen minutes of fame, enabled the inclusion of different sensibilities and views.

Read the following passage. Then decide whether the student sample at the right (or below) cites the passage acceptably in MLA s

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

b) Unacceptable

Explanation:

The given excerpt shows the text from the original source, enabling us to identify whether the student properly followed the formatting rules of Modern Language Association (MLA) style. The in-text citation format of the MLA style is enclosing the author's last name and the page number in open- and closed-parenthesis at the end of the text.

In the given prompt, the name of the author and the page number were provided. Also, the student copied from the text verbatim. Thus, he or she should have written the direct quotation as:

"There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (Eagleton 11).

Alternatively, the student could have introduced the name of the author before the direct quote:

Terry Eagleton presents an interesting view on the significance of value in literature, as he states, "There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (11).

Therefore, the student unacceptably cites the passage in MLA style.
