I watched the ospreys hunting over the lake behind the house. One by one, they would stalk the defenseless fish swimming too clo

se to the surface and then dive into the lake when they'd selected their victim. Not a moment later, they'd break through the surface with a poor fish flailing and fighting for its life, only to carry it away and bring it to its final demise. Which best describes the author's feelings about the birds? She admires them and sees them as powerful and agile. She dislikes them and sees them as predatory and heartless. She dismisses them and sees them as irrelevant and unimportant. She pities them and sees them as animals struggling to survive.

Answer:

D - She pities them and sees them as animals struggling to survive.

Explanation:

"One by one, they would stalk the defenseless fish..."

"Not a moment later, they'd break through the surface with a poor fish flailing and fighting for its life only to carry it away and bring it to its final demise...."

She pities them. She understands that they are animals fighting and struggling to survive, but pities the situation of something, someone, putting and end to your life just like that. In that moment the fish is being hunted, but something else could hunt the ospreys. It would be the same situation.

Answer:

b.) she dislikes them and sees them as predatory and heartless.

Explanation:

in the given passage, she sympathizes the fish, describing them as 'defenseless' and 'poor fish flailing and fighting for its life'. as well as describing the birds as predators by saying quote, 'when they'd selected their  victim'. this comes to show that <em>the author dislikes them (the birds) and sees them as predatory and heartless.</em>

I believe the correct answer is D. <span>in women's minds. Friedan is primarily concerned with the women's image and view of themselves - why is it so hardly assessable and so concealed, the consequence being that most middle-class women were utterly unhappy without being able to understand why. In their minds, they nurtured images of happy life and family fulfillment. In reality, it didn't make them happy.</span>

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The case for diversity cites a study by a Nobel prize-winning scientist that shows when diversity is introduced in a group, the entire group benefits, not just the minority individuals.

Appeal to authority.

Do you really want to spend your time with a bunch of bigots and extremists who are afraid of people who don't look like them?

Appeal to emotion

Diversity makes sense when you think about it. How do people learn? Not by encountering the same old thing over and over again, but by encountering new things. And diversity introduces new things, and new people, into your environment.

Appeal to logic.

An appeal to authority which is also known as Argumentum ad Verecundiam that uses the opinion of a figure of authority to back up a claim or support an argument.

An appeal to emotion is used to stir up the emotions of a person so as to convince them about a proposition.

An appeal to logic is used by showing reasons why a person should do something, what would happen when the person fails to do it and why an option is the best possible solution.

Write a short paragraph to prepare for a group discussion. Explain your thoughts on the issue of homework. Do students have too
stepladder [879]

Answer:

In my opinion, homework help students practice getting a better understanding of the various topics taught daily at school. Homework gives way for individual learning i.e a way by which students can discover and learn new things and also build on what has been taught at school.

Although homework is good and helps students expand their knowledge on different topics of various subjects, it is usually too much. For instance, a total number of 10 subjects are taught daily, if all the teachers give homework on all 10 subjects with lots of questions, students will not be able to meet up as it would be too overwhelming on students.  

I believe that homework should be limited because when it is too much it causes sleep deprivation, stress, weight loss, inability to function properly in the class. Two hours of homework is what is recommended for high school students by the National Education Association.  Study shows that a percentage of students claim that homework is the main cause of stress.

In conclusion, to reduce the workload on students, teachers should conduct a test and classwork after each class.
