Bumek [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The author, Mike Kubic, has a negative tone towards the American Electoral college system in his 2016 article <em>The American Electoral Process.</em>

He is describing how it is unfair, costly, convoluted, not-entirely democratic, and with dubious results.

  • Unfair, because of the fact that some states (primarily, smaller ones) have more representatives per capita than their bigger counterparts.
  • Costly, because the candidates spend millions, if not billions of dollars running their campaigns.
  • Convoluted, because it takes many months, if not years to prepare.
  • Not-entire democratic, because the people don't vote for the president directly, but rather for representatives who will then choose the president.
  • With dubious results, because of the "super delegates" as well as the case of George W. Bush v. AL Gore he mentions in the article.

He uses many rhetorical strategies to support his perspective, primarily ethos: using quotes, numbers, and statistics to depict the unfairness of the system.

BARSIC [14]
If I understood correctly you just need basically directions and ingredients so heres scalloped potatoes

INGREDIENTS:
-potatoes
-cheese
-milk
-flower
-butter
-seasoning if you want; salt, pepper, parsley, and minced onions

INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 375
Peal the potatoes and then cut them into thin slices.
Get a pan with one stick of butter on the stove on med.
Melt the butter and you’re going to make a roux; which is just butter and flower. Add in about a cup, if more needed add more. Until its about thickish paste. Add milk and your cheese about half a cup, can add more if wanted. Add in seasonings if want. Get your dish ready and add your potatoes layed out sorta like fallen dominoes. Do one layer and add your roux mixture and a layer of cheese, if wanted. Do another layer of potatoes just like that until your dish is filled. Pop in the oven for about 40 minutes or until potatoes are soft.

Hope this helped :)

Read the excerpt from The Code Book.
guapka [62]

Answer:

What kind of information is the author talking about?

What does the word "commodity" mean?

What role does digital information play in society?

Explanation:

When reading a text, it is common for the reader to find sentences that make it difficult for him to understand the text and the subject conveyed by it. In this case, it is important that the reader asks questions about this sentence or about the text, to be able to demystify the sentence and understand the subject presented more effectively. An example of this can be seen in the text above, where the reader can ask the three questions selected above, to understand the sentence "information is the most valuable commodity." These questions are not only able to associate the term "information" as something of high value in our current society, but are also able to present how the internet was and continues to be an influencing factor in this system that causes the elevation of information as a commodity.
