Maurice watched his grandfather typing furiously on a typewriter and mumbling to himself. He couldn't resist sneaking behind him

and breaking his concentration.
"Hey, Grandpa, what are you working on today?" Maurice asked.

"Oh, nothing special. Go watch that little TV you carry in your pocket."

"It's a cell phone, Gramps," Maurice said with a laugh.

"Whatever you call it. You can go back to it and not bother with me." His grandfather tried to wave him off, but Maurice pulled up a chair and sat next to him.

"Come on, Gramps, let me have a peek. I promise, I won't disturb you." Maurice bent over to read the letters on the sheet of paper coming from the typewriter. The machine always puzzled him. He knew what it did, but he couldn’t understand why his grandfather stuck to this old thing instead of using a computer.

Maurice spoke up after a few minutes. "Gramps, you know this will be a lot easier to type if you use my laptop. You don’t have to worry about making any errors, and you don’t have to put in another paper every time you reach the bottom of the page. And no more of those messy black ribbons, either."

"That's the problem with you kids. You want everything the easy way," his grandfather replied, shrugging off the boy's questions.

Which best states why multimedia presentations use many forms of communication? to make the speaker appear more trustworthy to i
skelet666 [1.2K]
The option that best states why multimedia presentations use many forms of communication is the last one - to connect with the audience with an engaging display.
People love technology and use many of its forms - so appealing to their interests and desires through various types of multimedia communication will definitely bring about the best results possible. It's not about impressing anyone or stunning them, but rather reaching a large group of people.

Which of the following best describes a message or theme in "The Daughters<br> of the Late Colonel"?
loris [4]

Answer:

people can lose the ability to think for themselves

Explanation:

Since the beginning of the story, Constantia and Josephine, two daughters of the late colonel, show the inability to decide and think in certain circumstances. They choose not to talk about potential problems and possible solutions, so they rather choose to fight and discuss. Even if they are the responsible ones for their family after their father died, they lost the ability to make decisions and thinking for themselves.
