Answers: 1. When things go wrong, Carl tends to brood for hours and to blame others. 3. The school was closed not only because of the snow and ice but also because of the lack of heat. 4. The ice was a greater problem for the electrical power company than for the natural gas company.
Explanation:
Parallel structures in sentences consist of the repetition of a grammatical pattern. This makes sentences have grammatical consistency and flow naturally. Below, I analyze each of the sentences:
1. When things go wrong... This sentence shows parallelism because the elements "to blame others" and "to brood for hours" have the same grammatical structure ( to + verb.)
2. After watching some Tv... This sentence lacks parallelism because the first verbs are in -ing form but the last one "read" does not follow this pattern.
3. The school was closed... This sentence uses parallel structure because it includes the expressions not only/but also (correlative conjunctions) that show grammatical consistency.
4. The ice was a greater problem... This sentence uses the preposition "for" to introduce two different details, which shows a parallel structure.
Answer:
Ethos.
Explanation:
Presentation can be defined as an act of talking or speaking formally to an audience in order to explain an idea, piece of work, project, and product with the aid of multimedia resources or samples.
Basically, any speaker who wish to create an effective presentation should endeavor to interact frequently with the audience by holding a conversation.
Ethos can be defined as the use of authority to significantly persuade or crave the indulgence of the audience to believe in a particular character. Thus, ethos simply means an appeal to ethics.
Hence, ethos gives the author credibility. It is important to build credibility with your audience because without it, readers are less inclined to trust you or accept the argument presented to them.
Answer: When we inhabit the world, we are constantly seeing. Perception is an ongoing reality—we are always taking in the world, and only after the fact do we name it. Thus begins Ways of Seeing, drawing our attention to the fraught relationship between vision, images, words, and meaning. Our understanding of what we see doesn't generally align with the objective facts of what we're seeing: for example, we see the sun set every night, while we know that it isn't really "setting," but rather, the earth is simply revolving away from it. Likewise, we can attempt to capture what we see, reproducing or recreating it for others so that they can try to understand how we perceive the world. To do so is to create an image: "an image is a sight which has been recreated or reproduced." In so doing, we remove the image from the original circumstances under which it was seen. In this sense, every image embodies what Berger calls "a way of seeing": a record of how its creator saw the world. Images can preserve things as they once were, and simultaneously, preserve how their creator once saw their subject. Images, more so than any other relics from the past, offer a direct testimony as to how people saw—and, by extension, understood—the world.
Explanation:
It is important to understand the context of the play itself when answering this question. Since this is an excerpt from "The Crucible," we know that it is a play about the Salem Witch Trials and it shows the hysteria that surrounded these events in US history. We should also make sure we understand that the stories of the girls here are fiction as the girls made up their afflictions because they did not agree with things that others were doing. By acting as if they were possessed and overtaken by a sickness, they were able to accuse others of being a witch and consorting with the devil, which was a crime in this time period.
With this in mind, we can use process of elimination to work through the answer choices to see which answer is best. A is a definite possibility as more characters become involved and create more hysteria throughout the town.
B is true, but doesn't make much sense overall. It doesn't prove anything about what the inclusion of more characters will accomplish.
C doesn't make much sense as the characters are not being joyful and what they are doing is not to incite joy. C is not an option.
D, much like C, is not a good option as it is not obvious that the minister is or is not involved.
Because of the breakdown we've just done, A is the best option because the more people that are involved in the farce, the more hysterical the entire town will become.
