English
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

He thinks so because such a scenario is something humans (including the moviegoers) can relate to - man's desire to escape from himself.

Explanation:

Walker Percy in his book, <em>Lost in the Cosmos</em> relates a scene that is common in most movies. A case in a movie where a man returns to his home and cannot recognize his wife again but is taken to bed by her was one of the examples cited by Percy. He noted that the person watching the movie is excited not because the man has amnesia, but because all his past troubles have been forgotten.

This feeling, Percy noted is something that appeals to people in general. The desire to escape from themselves and forget all of their struggles.

Identify the misused pronoun in the sentence. Choose the correct pronoun to replace it. After school, Bob and me cleaned up thei
Mariulka [41]

Answer: misused pronoun: me. Correct pronoun: I.

Explanation: Pronouns have three possible cases: subjective, possessive and objective. The subjective case is used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence (they are: I, you, she/he/it, they, we). The objective case is used when the pronoun acts as an object in the sentence (they are: me, her, them, us, etc). The possessive case is used to indicate ownership (they are mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs). In the given sentence, the pronoun is in the subject of the sentence, therefore it should be in the subjective case: After school, Bob and I cleaned up their yard.

Determine whether the definition below is connotative or denotative.
motikmotik
The answer is connotative, so choice A.

The reason why is because the denotative definition is "a place where you live, reside" which is the literal definition of "home". This is the definition you'd find in the dictionary. Whereas the definition of "warmth, comfort and affection" is an emotional connection often placed on the word "home".

What is the author’s attitude toward space research? Cite evidence to support your answer.? Why Exploring the Ocean is Mankind's
Sati [7]

Answer: The author believes that space research, while important, has diverted attention and resources away from exploring the oceans (the ocean should have a chance to be explored). As evidence, he says that early exploration of the ocean's depths was “quickly overshadowed by the race to the moon.” (lines 13–14).  In the text, it states " In July 2011, the space shuttle program that had promised to revolutionize space travel by making it (relatively) affordable and accessible came to an end after 30 years". This quote shows that the ocean should be explored more.
