Answer:

"Fear of white vigilante groups like the KKK" A vigilante is someone who takes part in taking the law into their own hands. If you know about the KKK, then you would understand what a vigilante is. For example, the KKK tried to punish African Americans before and after certain laws because they did not want Africans to have any rights and or freedom.

Stranded on a traffic island, speeding buses and trucks held the two pedestrians hostage.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stranded on a traffic island,

what comes next has to be about the 2 "hostages". It can't be about the traffic that is holding them hostage. If this sentence was handed to any English teacher, they would immediate get their red pens out and write "This is a misplaced participial phrase"

It's sort of like the example my English  gave us when I was in high school. She said, "Running up a tree, I saw a squirrel."  Then she asked us to write what thought was running up the tree. She got some pretty interesting answers.

In Shery Turkle's Article, "The Flight from Conversation", How does Turkle supports her claim. Consider her diction, rhetorical
Serhud [2]

Answer:

We are living in the age of digital communication. At all times we see the launch of more technological devices, with more efficient connection networks that allow us to establish communication with anyone anywhere in the world who has access to this type of technology and the best, we can do this without leaving home .

This context seems to establish a perfect reality, where communication is increasingly efficient, but it is not quite so. At least not in the opinion of Sherry Turkle, who believes that in the best place for our communication, technology is destroying it.

In his article "The Flight from Conversation," Turkle states that technology is promoting the loss of the ability to socialize and establish a face-to-face conversation, where it is difficult to hide our real feelings, or "make up" our personality. The expensive conversation the face emits a certain vulnerability that the virtual conversation does not and therefore it is preferable

Turkle uses logical resources to show that disengagement is also an important factor in this situation, because we can be close to people with our goals, but at the same time away, because we don’t need to be close to talking to them, we don’t need to answer communication between them.

Turkle uses clear and direct words, so that anyone can conclude that as technology evolves, communication becomes more artificial and rare, with no real personal connection between individuals.
