What would happen if we stopped shaking hands

English
1 answer:
liraira [26]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

If we stopped shaking hands there may be, for an older generation, a sign of a lack of respect (though that can be shown in other ways).

Explanation:

Shaking hands is used as a form of greeting, expressing gratitude, and even used to complete business or diplomatic agreements.  So, it does play an important role is society, but at the same time, I do believe that there are other ways of showing respect, a greeting, or completing agreements.

GaryK [48]

By these words, which are part of Johathan's Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (1729), the author is referring to the claim to the throne of England, Ireland and Scotland by James Francis Edward Stuart, son of King James II. The latter was a Catholic King, who had already fathered a daughter named Mary; until James Francis Edward's birth, Mary, who had been raised as a Protestant, was the legitimate heiress to the English throne. James Francis Edward was a Catholic. The English Protestants were reluctant to have a Catholic king, as they did not wish to be under the political influence of the Pope. Therefore, they rebelled against James II, whom they overthrew. Mary and her husband William of Orange then became Protestant Queen and King of England, Ireland and Scotland. Ireland is the "home" to which Swift refers in this statement. Since the Irish were and are Catholic, they wished to help James Francis Edward Stuart regain his position as heir to the British, Irish and Scottish crown. Swift contrasts these irish men with those Protestants who would rather leave England than pay taxes to a Catholic king.

James Francis Edward's attempts to regain the crown were unsuccessful.

Read this excerpt from act III, scene I, of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet:
user100 [1]
<span>The correct answer is A. Romeo blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of Mercutio's death.

After Mercutio dies, Romeo says, "O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper soften'd valour's steel." Here, he is saying that, because he fell in love with Juliet, he became weak. His love softened "valour's steel" -- or the brave metal of a sword -- making him unable to fight his enemy Tybalt.

The implication is that, had he not fallen in love with Juliet, he would have been strong enough to fight Tybalt and his friend would not have died. Therefore he blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of his friend's death.</span>

The underlined words in this excerpt are
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

I think I know what you are trying to say. Here is the information that you may be trying to put out there:

Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's Address at Moscow State University.

Freedom, it has been said, makes people selfish and materialistic, but Americans are one of the most religious peoples on Earth. Because they know that liberty, just as life itself, is not earned but a gift from God, they seek to share that gift with the world. "Reason and experience," said George Washington in his farewell address, "both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. And it is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government."

Select 3 options.

A.an example of procatalepsis.

C.used by Reagan to acknowledge an opposing view.

E.followed by a counterargument proving Reagan's point.

Explanation:

While addressing at Moscow State University, Ronald Reagan made use of procatalepsis where he is objecting to a commonly held belief. ‘Freedom, it has been said, makes people selfish and materialistic, but Americans are one of the most religious peoples on Earth’ here, ‘but’ indicates that the sentence is an example of procatalepsis.

Apart from this, Ronald is also acknowledging an opposing view by stating why Americans are the most religious people. Ronald also included George Washington’s counterargument for proving his point.
