Answer:

B. syntax

Explanation:

  • Phonemes: the smallest sound unit of speech distinguishing one word from another, for example, the first letter in tan and pan.
  • <em>Syntax is the format in which we organize words and phrases to create a coherent sentence.</em>
  • Semantics is the relationship between words we use and their meanings.
  • Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language, for example in the word boys, "boy" and "s" are two morphemes.

<em>In the sentence "Can you please a ride to the airport me give?" the words are incorrectly organized, therefore there's a lack of syntax.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

a. the military-industrial complex.

Explanation:

More than 50 years ago, President Eisenhower was saying goodbye to US citizens. In his last speech, broadcast on radio and television on January 17, 1961, he warned his countrymen about the serious implications of a new conjunction in American history: "the conjunction of a huge military establishment and a large armaments industry," the Industrial-Military Complex.

At the time of the farewell, the country was at the height of the Cold War and was threatened by a power capable of incinerating the American territory in a huge nuclear fire. Military spending at that time, the president said, consumed "more than the net profits of all US corporations." With this budget at the disposal of the Complex, the general spoke of an influence on American society that went beyond the economic and political sphere, even spiritual - an elegant way to say that co-optation corrupted even the soul.
