Answer: i would say he was very determined and persistent in overcoming obstacles.
explanation: "the magician of menlo park" as he was called, liked to tell an incident that happened when he was 8 years old and came back home crying after attending school for three months because his teacher called him "sterile and unproductive". from nowadays perspective, we can say that thomas alva edison was one of the most persistent and determined man that has ever existed. when edison was 14, he contracted scarlet fever. the effect of the fever, as well as a blow to the head by an angry train conductor, caused edison to become completely deaf in his left ear, and 80-percent deaf in the other. so as you can see he had to struggle to not so many minor issues but he always succeeded.
C. Imagining that you're a media producer
Answer:
This technique is persuasive because, in Gordimer’s essay she explains that people of color take the jobs that no white man wants and that they are not allowed in any bar, club, and etc. And that no woman is allowed either. And she does a very good job in explaining what people of color and women went through at the time and how they couldn’t do what white man could. A white man could do jobs that wouldn’t allow any woman or colored person to do. A white man could vote and be seen in a bar and have more freedom and rights than a colored person and a woman could have. And a white man could be in the military or get paid more than a colored person or woman. A black man could vote but, it wouldn’t count and women were not allowed to vote.
Explanation:Because
The correct answer is B) The counterclaim is supported by strong evidence.
Even if the claim is valid (which excludes option A), it does not offer other evidence than the author's perception that crowds disturb the city and looks for the audience to agree on that. This lack of strong evidence supporting the author's claim also invalidates option C.
On the other hand, there is a counterclaim (excluding option D) that actually offers strong evidence supporting it. The fact that the festival attracts lots of tourists and generates revenue for the city, including the local businesses that support the festival, is strong evidence that supports the claim that the festival should be maintained.
So the only correct answer is option B.
