While the invention of the steamboat is often attributed to American inventor Robert Fulton, credit should really go to John Fit

ch. Fitch built four steamboats in the late eighteenth century. These boats traveled successfully on lakes and rivers and were proof that steam could be used to propel boats. Fitch’s boats included more traditional elements as well, such as paddle wheels and screw propellers. By blending tried and true methods of propulsion with new technology, Fitch created functioning steam boats. He forfeited his place in American memory due not to any mechanical failings, but to financial ones. His production and operating costs were too high to make steam travel economically feasible. As a result, many people have forgotten his role in the invention of the steamboat. It wasn’t until after his death that Robert Fulton created a commercially successful steamboat and became known as “the father of steam navigation.” Which of the following sentences should be included in a summary of the text? (1 point) A.Fitch's boats cost too much to make. B.John Fitch combined old methods of constructing boats with new technology to create the first steamboats. C.I think that it would be fun to ride on a steamboat someday. D. It wasn’t until after his death that Robert Fulton created a commercially successful steamboat and became known as “the father of steam navigation.”

Check the questions a listener should ask himself to judge a speaker's speech (Mark all that apply.).
horrorfan [7]
I would say that all these questions are valid and to the point though perhaps a little less so re the dress. If the speaker is logical, gives sufficient evidence based on solid facts and obviously knows his subject either being an authority on the subject or showing that he/she has closely consulted with those who are, then the speech should be well received.

Choose five qualities and describe the ideal exchange student •confident and independent
Dvinal [7]

•confident and independent, •friendly and outgoing, •generous, •honest, •keen on the same hobbies as me sensible.

The ideal exchange student is open minded. As this is a new country with a new language an exchange student should not be ignorant. Being willing to explore the culture and the common interests of the country's people is a must or else they will be miserable. They should not take their disadvantage of being new as an excuse to be unproductive or rely on others but rather they should be independent. Always accepting the help of others and being able to hold back temper when in a state of anger is a good characteristic  to look for in choosing exchange students.
