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.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

I think that this can be combined into one paragraph:

"Even if technology can help developing countries, it won't be easy. First of all, most developing countries do not have power, and a lot of people don't bother going to school. These two things will make it harder because if there is no power how will the technology be used and if people don't really study then it won't aid that country at all.

Despite the problems that technology will cause, there are solutions. The developed countries can give money towards constructing power lines in developing countries. Technology will encourage the people of developing countries to try to get and education, and this will cause more people to be educated."

Since your essay is in support of helping developing countries, you want to try to limit the amount of counterarguments that support the other side, because that may lead your reader to question their stance, so maybe delete this paragraph:

"But even if that does happen, there will still be some problems in the way. In developing countries, some teachers don't know how to use technology in the correct way. Also some countries rarely have any schools, meaning that the developed countries will need to construct schools."

Your last paragraph is a great conclusion, the only thing I would say is to try to paraphrase your reasons and add them so your reader can be reminded why they should agree with you.

Other than that, this is a well-written essay, nice work!

What is your impression of the narrator, Ponyboy? Give evidence from the story to back up what you think of him. Is he a good pe
stiks02 [169]

Ponyboy seems to be an outsider. He says that he is a Greaser, but then he also says that he "loned it" (3). Even though he feels as though he belongs to the Greasers, he shows that he is not like other Greasers. He says that he "digs movies and books" (3). Ponyboy likes them because he puts himself into the story with the characters to experience it, not just as mind-numbing entertainment. Ponyboy seems to be a good person. He has a big heart and seems to care for others. He doesn't look at a person and label them in the story. Throughout he begins to notice that people are more than just a Soc or just a Greaser. It begins when he meets Cherry and Marcia at the movies. After Bob's death, Ponyboy starts to see Randy as more than just a Soc as well. I think I would want to be friends with Ponyboy since he offers a different perspective of things, and I know that he would be loyal and have my back.
