Read the excerpt from The Hot Zone. She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping t

he blade well away from her gloved fingers. The spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. She did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. She had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. Which strategy would be most helpful in determining the meaning of the word “scalpel”?

The most helpful strategy that can be used to determine the meaning of the word "scalpel" is the use of context.

If one does not know the meaning of the word "scalpel" used in this excerpt from "The Hot Zone" a good way to infer its meaning would be through the analysis of the context.

With the information given, we can deduce that the scalpel is a sharp object used to cut things, in this case: flesh. A woman cutting flesh with "gloved fingers" (meaning she is wearing gloves) produces the image of a doctor.

With this in mind, one can deduce that a scalpel is a medical tool used to cut open pacients.

Which of the following is the best example of an appeal to logos?
yawa3891 [41]

The statement that is the best example of an appeal to logos is that On average, our customers save over 75 dollars a month by switching to us. They also increase their coverage area by 45 percent. Option B is correct.

<h3>What are the appeals to logos?</h3>

Logos appeals to the audience's reasoning by constructing logical arguments. Ethos appeals to the speaker's position or authority, increasing the audience's faith in them. Logos, or the appeal to logic, refers to appealing to the audience's sense of logic or reason.

Pathos appeals to the emotions, for example, making the listener furious or empathetic. To employ logos, the author draws obvious, logical links between concepts and employs facts and data.

Another method is to construct a logical argument using historical and literal comparisons. The clearest example of an appeal to logos is the remark, “On average, our clients save over $75 per month by switching to us.” They also extend their coverage area by 45 percent.

Therefore, option B is correct.

Think of 2 society rules and the punishments for those who break the rules. Think of 2 personal rules and the punishments if you
boyakko [2]

Your rights - general

Rules and punishments must always be fair.

You never have to put up with bad treatment just because you are a child. In fact, the law gives you extra protection because you are a child.

So, let’s start with a law passed by our Parliament in London in 1998. This is called the Human Rights Act. It gives rights to children and adults. Three of the rights are very relevant to rules and punishments:

You have the right to respect for your private life. This is about your mind and your body being safe. This protection comes from Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which is one of the rights protected by our Human Rights Act. Punishments that harm children’s bodies or minds could be violating this right. This would make them unlawful. A recent example of this is a boy who was kept in his prison cell for over 100 days with hardly any time outside. A judge said his Article 8 right to protection had been breached.

You also have the right to protection from inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment. This protection from very cruel treatment comes from Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Judges in an important case 10 years ago said staff deliberately causing pain during restraint just to make children follow orders would be violating this Article 3 right. Hopefully you also know that staff can never hit you or abuse you in any way, even if you have done something wrong.

I think this is the answer
