Bumek [7]3 years ago
5 0

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.

When is the passive voice a useful tool in writing?
frozen [14]
Passive voice is sentence construction because the subject is placed to the end of the sentence and thus acted on rather than acting. For example, the dog bit the boy in passive should be, the boy was bitten by the dog.
Passive voice is a useful tool in writing when the writer wants to emphasize that someone is receiving an action and not doing it. For example, Cyrus repaired the bus here bus is the object. In passive voice it should be the bus was repaired.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

If the ending is not foreshadowed, readers will be surprised because there were no former hints leading up to it. The reader may feel confused, as the ending will be out of the blue with no prior explanation. The reader may also feel disappointed or let down as there will be nothing connecting the ending to the previous events of the story.
