This is the counterargument in the article. This is because, language which has been as old as man should not change overtime. For example, use of emoticons most times confuse an individual who is communicating with another person due to lack of understanding of those emoticons.
Answer:
A. Authorities in New Orleans weren’t prepared for the chaos and destruction that would result from the levees breaking and the resulting flood.
F. Louisiana didn’t have the proper plans in place to respond to a disaster of this magnitude, and because of this they lost more citizens than expected.
Explanation:
These two statements (A and F) express the central idea of the text. What happens in the text <em>(2 levees fail, toll rises)</em> shows that NEW Orleans and Lousiana were not prepared and had no plans in place for disaster of that magnitude.
Option B is incorrect because residents and authorities were not expecting a flooding of such huge magnitude. Had they been expecting this, they would have either migrated or put proper plans in place before the hurricane.
Option C may be true but not correct, because the text is not talking about adequate warnings, or how loss of lives could be been avoided.
Option D is incorrect because there is no mention of volunteers and aid in the text.
Option E too may be true but not correct as text has no mention about efforts and problems to rescue the residents.
Answer:
The sergeant asked the Bishop if any of his silver was missing.
Explanation:
Indirect speech is a way of relaying information without directly quoting the speaker. Usually it is done as a reported speech.
Therefore, the direct speech "my lord, is any of your silver missing? " the sergeant said to the Bishop becomes "The sergeant asked the Bishop if any of his silver was missing."
N AfD election poster in Berlin says "Stop Islamisation"
The nationalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) has grown rapidly since it was formed in 2013 and is now the biggest opposition party in the Bundestag (national parliament), with 89 seats.
Founded in 2013 as an anti-euro party, it has shifted its focus to immigration and Islam and is increasingly seen as far-right in tone.

Is it far-right?
Yes. It may not have started out as a far-right party but it soon embraced far-right policies and many of its leaders have espoused far-right rhetoric.
AfD co-chairman Alexander Alexander Gauland has talked of fighting an "invasion of foreigners" and the party openly focuses on Islam and migration, seeing Islam as alien to German society. Some of the party's rhetoric has been tinged with Nazi overtones.
The AfD sits in the same political family as France's far-right National Front and Austria's far-right Freedom Party - as well as the populist, anti-Islam Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert Wilders. Nigel Farage, former leader of the UK's anti-EU party Ukip, took part in their 2017 election campaign.
