Answer:

Perceptual set.

Explanation:

A perceptual set is elucidated as the predisposition or susceptibility  to perceive things in a specific manner. It leads to shape our interpretation and response towards a particular stimulus as these are shaped by previously possessed information.

Answer:

Dear sir or madam,

I am going on holiday to New York in June, and I would like to book some services from this travel agency.

I have seen on your web page that you have different tourist tour options. I am interested in booking the evening New York City tour and guide for sightseeing for June 3nd if possible. It would be for two persons, my husband and me. Also, I would like to know the tour's length and if specific clothes, such as comfortable shoes, are recommended.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and the availability of the tour.

Yours faithfully.

Lindsay Hughs.

Explanation:

When we write a letter, the first thing that we have to do is address the person to who we are writing. As we do not know their name, we write sir or madam.

In the first paragraph, we have to introduce the reason why we are writing. We tell the reader that we are going on holiday and are interested in the travel agency services.

In the body of the letter, we describe in detail what we want. That is to say, the date that we want to book the tour, the number of people, and any information that we would like to know.

In the last paragraph, we use a closing sentence saying that we are waiting for their answer, and lastly, we say our goodbyes.

I need the Assessment Question answers to Commonlit ( An incredible job: being America's President) ASAP​
elixir [45]

Answer:

The President of the United States is the most important political figure in the nation, being the leader of the executive branch of the federal government and, therefore, the head of state and government of the United States of America. The main tasks of the President are the exercise of the executive function of the federal government, that is, to administer the country and to supervise the correct fulfillment of the laws.

The position of President is designated by means of elections, in which the Electoral College designates which candidate will be the one to carry out said function during the 4 years following the election. The President can be reelected for another 4 years, but only once, after which he will not be able to access that position again.

Today, the President is Donald Trump, although Joe Biden was elected to fill that position from 2021 to 2024.
