A euphemism is a phrase or expression that indirectly substitutes another one that is considered too severe or strong by means of downplaying the significance of the severe expression.

In the intricacies of battle, “friendly fire” refers to weapon fire that comes from one´s own side, by accident or circumstance, and that can lead to accidental injury or death.

Kubic begins his piece by speaking directly to the reader
3241004551 [841]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

When a character starts the work talking directly with the reader, we can perceive an affinity effect between narrator and reader, leaving the work more personal and with a more confident effect. The reader, then, begins to be part of the work, as a person who is being confidant of the narrator and receiving all the report first hand.

Answer:

1. Which two passages are firsthand accounts? How do you know?  

Passage B and C. These use the first person point of view.

2. Which passage is a secondhand account? How do you know?

Passage A. It uses the 3rd person point of view.

3. In Passage A, is the author’s perspective with regard to Lewis and Clark’s trip through the Rockies neutral or positive? Why?

Neutral. It is an objective account of the trip.

4. In Passage B, is the author’s perspective with regard to Lewis and Clark’s trip through the Rockies neutral or positive? Why?

Positive. The feeling of joy is positive.  

 5. How is the author’s perspective in Passage C different from that in Passage B?

Passage C is taken from an outsider’s perspective based on his observation of Clark and Lewis’ expressions and actions while B is a personal account of how Lewis felt.  

Explanation:

1. Personal account uses the first person point of view. Passage B is the personal account of Lewis himself; while Passage C is the narration of the group. Both accounts were based on the actual experience.

2. Passage A is a secondhand account because it is a narration or description of somebody who did not actually experience the trip. It also uses the third person point of view as shown in the use of the pronouns "they" and "she."

3. The author's perspective in Passage A is neutral in the sense that there is no indication of any subjectivity such as the feelings of the persons described or author's himself. Also, the author did not include his own opinion about his subject. It is simple and direct.

4. Passage B is the personal account of Lewis. It shows a positive perspective especially with the mention of the word "joy" which is a positive feeling in response to Lewis' personal reaction to the beauty of the sight.

5. Passage C, although narrated in a 1st hand basis just like that of Passage B, is taken from the experience and observation of the other members of the journey. The expressions and feelings of Clark and Lewis are observed. There is also a mention of the description of how difficult the journey was.

Should parents be able to determine (or have input) into the future educational choices of their children? Explain
Varvara68 [4.7K]
By walking alongside their child's education journey, parents are likely to be sensitive to their child's emotional and social needs. This involvement creates ties and strengthens bonds with children. It can also boost a parent's confidence when making decisions about your child's education.
