They’re similar since they end in -ter and -tor, which generally sound similar, but they’re different as “director” is a noun meaning a person who directs something, while “shatter” is a verb meaning to break something into tiny pieces (you can shatter a window, a glass, a plate, etc).

Answer:

C. Sarcasm

Explanation:

Sarcasm is the use of words usually used to either mock or annoy someone, or for humorous purposes. Sarcasm may employ ambivalence, although it is not necessarily ironic. Most noticeable in spoken word, sarcasm is mainly distinguished by the inflection with which it is spoken and is largely context-dependent.

Please help I need to get this done by today.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

For years things like the media such as books and movies and TV shows have made fake images in people's heads about robots as evil being who wish to take out humanity. But the truth in today’s robotic machines are far from wanting to wipe out humanity and our way of life. Robots in our age have no interest in harming humans, and they in fact were built to aid people in making life safer, healthier, and more productive for humans, and they make our jobs easier.

The main idea is that robots have been looked down upon by the media as evil, but that is not true, and robotic inventions are actually very helpful to humans and have no intention of harming us.

Explanation:

Hope that helped

Flura [38]

Answer:

A. He will not fight anymore because his way of life is gone.

Passage:

Chief Joseph's Surrender Speech, October 5, 1877

<em>Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Ta Hool Hool Shute is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are—perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. </em>
