Clever wordsmiths that we are, we often cloak our actions in words and phrases to hide their impact or to mitigate and alleviate

blame. Centuries of divine condemnation have made us very sensitive to the rational or irrational consequences of imagined and real culpability. Blame can put you in jail, take away your rights, deny you an afterlife, or worse-cause you to change your behavior. Which word in the last sentence makes the sentence satirical?

Answer:

Blame can put you in jail, take away your rights, deny you an afterlife, or <u>worse </u>- cause you to change your behavior.

Explanation:

The word <em>satire</em> refers to the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to criticize people or their ideas. For example, politicians have always been easy targets of satire.

In the last sentence, the word <em>worse</em><em> </em>stands out. The narrator says that it's worse if blame changes your behavior than if it puts you in jail, takes away your rights, or even denies you an afterlife. Objectively the change of behavior is the least severe of the listed consequences, but the narrator for some reason says otherwise.

"Write about what is your idea of a happy school where learning is an engaging and joyful activity.
Artemon [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The following is an idea/example on how to write about this topic:

Write about what is your idea of a happy school where learning is an engaging and joyful activity.

I imagine such a school to give autonomy to students. They are taught from an early age to manage their own choices and the time they will dedicate to studying. For instance, students could choose which subjects to study that semester. Teachers would then present them with ideas on how to get started, on which topics there are to be seen at the level for that subject, etc. Students and teachers would then agree on how much time would be applied to each topic. Students would study with the help of peers as well as of teachers. However, teachers would be more like guides than authority figures.
