Patronymic. ... A patronymic, or patronym, is a component of a personal name based on the given name of one's father, grandfather (i.e., an avonymic), or an even earlier male ancestor. A component of a name based on the name of one's mother or a female ancestor is a matronymic. Each is a means of conveying lineage.

A matronymic is a personal name based on the given name of one's mother, grandmother, or any female ancestor. It is the female equivalent of a patronymic. Around the world, matronymic surnames are far less common than patronymic surnames.

A set of technical directions is badly flawed if it B. does not properly sequence information.
Say for example that you want to build something and you are reading the instructions. However, the instructions are written badly and the information is not written in the correct order. This would make your job harder than it should be if the manual was just a good one with the right sequence of information.

Read the excerpt from an article. Lewis Township officials have been publicly—and loudly—quarreling for what seems like forever
Llana [10]

Answer:

to persuade the audience to share the writer's point of view

Explanation:

The writer's goal is to persuade the reader to agree and adopt the point of view he is presenting in the text. We can see this when he reinforces the idea of the importance of deciding what will be done with the available 20 acres of space and how it is even more important that this space be used for the good of the population, for the generation of jobs and the strengthening of the city, even if this decision is not easy to make. In other words, he reinforces that this unoccupied space must not remain empty, but rather be used to bring about improvements in the population. This point of view is publicized to attract supporters who agree with what the author thinks.
