Answer:

The correct answer is: A. Confirmation Bias

Explanation:

Confirmation Bias refers to a cognitive distortion where we seek out information or evidence that confirms our beliefs and viewpoints. Additionally, confirmation bias involves ignoring or disregarding anything that contradicts or differs from our beliefs. In this instance, since Maria is convinced a gluten free diet is better for her, she adopts the confirmation bias because she seeks out books and research that confirm the belief that gluten-free diets are beneficial. She also joins a gluten-free community online that "confirms" the same belief.

Why are names so<br> important?

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Names are important because they show a distinction of what something is/what something could be. If you were looking for a book but instead of the word book being book, you could say “Oh hey that’s your book” but then the person recieving that sentence would be confused, basically asking yourself “what is a book?” Oddly, names are important whether it’s a person’s name or an item’s name.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

1). Very few theaters existed = colonial drama

2). Theater became established = drama after the Revolution

3). Age of depression for American drama = drama between 1865 and 1914

4). marked the birth of the new drama = early twentieth-century drama

5). The Trend toward psychological concerns = drama today

Explanation:

The given descriptions about the different eras of drama have been aptly matched with their period as mentioned above. During the colonial drama, a small number of theatres existed, and the audiences too were very small. During the later revolution period, the theatres were well set-up and people became versed with the different types of drama. Drama existing during 1865-1914 was popularly recognized as the age of depression as there was a severe downfall in the viewership. The early 20th-century drama was marked as the rise of new drama and the present drama began emphasizing the psychological concerns through acts.

Katniss’s first reaction when she hears the news about the rule change is to call out Peeta’s name, despite the dangers of alert

Airida [17]

Answer:

<em>Katniss has said in both The Hunger Games and Catching Fire that she does not know how she feels for him. So there is the evidence for that, and, in other times during Catching Fire, she has deeply wanted Peeta to lay with her at night. Majority, almost all of the time, it was for comfort from her nightmares. But, also, sort of near the end in Catching Fire, in the Hunger Games with the victors, Peeta had massaged a tense spot in her shoulders, and she relaxed. There is many areas in the first two books that shows she does truly love Peeta, but there are also other times that she shows she would rather be with Gale. But, I have seen much more of her loving Peeta rather then Gale. She admitted in book one not all of the love for Peeta was fake. I think that is evidence as to why I think there is more to it then her wanting to seek him out for District twelves forgiveness. </em>

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: Genre

Short story Setting and Context An unnamed Jewish village in rural Eastern Europe, likely Poland, set during the winter months and Point of View Third-person narrative

Tone and Mood From the beginning, the tone and mood are grim, as the family has no money for Hanukkah and therefore decided to sell their goat. The mood shifts and becomes dramatic and grave as the storm threatens Aaron and Zlateh. But as soon as Aaron discovers shelter in the haystack, a sense of hope imbues the story with a good-natured mood and a reflective, wise tone. Protagonist and Antagonist

Protagonists: Aaron and Zlateh. Antagonist: the blizzard. Major Conflict

The conflict exists in the struggle between Aaron and Zlateh against the fierce blizzard .Climax The story comes to a climax when the storm threatens Aaron and Zlateh, and they face the prospect of freezing to death. Just at that moment, they find a haystack for crucial shelter. Foreshadowing The coziness inside the haystack foreshadows the comfort of life back at home in the village, suggesting that Aaron and Zlateh will find their way home together in the end. Understatement N/A Allusion The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is alluded to as the context for the story.Imagery Throughout the story, the natural world is described with vivid imagery. The narrator paints a picture of the dark and threatening storm, as well as the beauty and calm of the world after the storm. ParadoxThe very storm that threatens Aaron and Zlateh is also the impetus for Zlateh's salvation from the butcher. Parallelism The cozy atmosphere inside the haystack parallels the warmth of the family home back in the village.Metonymy and Synecdoche N/A Personification Several aspects of the natural world come to life through personification, especially the elements of the storm and the calm skies after the storm. For example, during the storm, the narrator describes the wind wailing "with one voice and then with many... [with] the sound of devilish laughter." Similarly, after the storm, the narrator notes how the "moon swam in the sky as in a sea.”Next Section Related Links Previous Section Yiddishism and Americanism in Isaac Bashevis Singer's Work Buy Study GuideCite this page Primis Player Placeholder GradeSaver will pay $15 for your literature essays GradeSaver will pay $25 for your college application essays GradeSaver will pay $50 for your graduate school essays – Law, Business, or Medical GradeSaver will pay $10 for your Community Note contributions GradeSaver will pay $500 for your Textbook Answer contributions STUDY GUIDE NAVIGATION About Zlateh the Goat.Zlateh the Goat Summary Character List Glossary Themes Quotes and Analysis Summary And Analysis Part I Part II
