What is the author's tone of this paragraph from "The Gift of the Magi" (Hint: This occurs at the very end of the story when Del

la and Jim realize that they traded their prized possessions for each other.)?
The magi, as you know, were wise men—wonderfully wise men—who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.

Which of these is an element of both paraphrasing and summarizing?
Rudiy27

Seems to me that the second option looks as if it were correct. While paraphrasing and summarizing, you are trying to shorten up an original piece of writing. Giving a well developed descriptions of main ideas isn't something to look for in paraphrasing, so that's why the first option is incorrect. In addition, restating basically everything from a text is not called paraphrasing nor summarizing, and that is why I'd rather classify it as copying.

Which statements are true of communism? Check all that apply.
enyata [817]

Answer:

- It opposes the ideals of the system of capitalism

- It includes both economic and political ideas and principles

- It was supported by Lenin and other Russian revolutionaries

Explanation:

The communism is an ideology that is largely based around equality, self-sustaining, and horizontal hierarchy. Politically, the communism propagates that everyone should be equal in the society, thus there should be only one class, and everyone should have the same opportunities and things at disposal. Economically, the communism is propagating command economy, which is an economy totally owned and controlled by the government, and it has the purpose to make the country a self-sustaining one. During the 20th century there were numerous examples of countries with this system, and there are several in the present as well, but is seems that is not a system that works properly, and it has caused damage to every possible level.
