According to the passage mentioned, the phrase that does not show Irving's bias against the Great Plains is:

"has not been inaptly termed 'the great American Desert'".

<u>Explanation:</u>

Irving Washington talks about the massiveness and the daunting Great Plains.

He expresses its harshness to survive in it, and the monotony o the views it holds for acres and acres.

With all this, he does not shy away from calling it or linking it to America, calling it the great American desert.

This shows he agrees to the fact that it is indeed an American desert that holds massive plain grasslands and harsh conditions of survival.

What are the skills of a language?
Alex Ar [27]

Namely, most human language feature four skills, divided into productive skills and receptive skills.

  • Productive skills: speaking and writing.
  • Receptive skills: listening and reading.

For a long time, human languages only featured one productive skill, speaking, and one receptive skill, listening. Writing and reading would appear at a later time within the ancient cultures of Mesopotamia (who invented the cuneiform writing system) and ancient Egypt (who developed hieroglyphic and demotic writing systems). Even today, many human groups living in isolated and remote areas have not developed writing and reading, relying solely on speaking and listening and on oral tradition (passing down the history of the group from one generation to the next) for their communication needs.
