I have placed my happiness on seeing you good and accomplished; and no distress which this world can now bring on me would equal

that of your disappointing my hopes. What is the connotative effect of the word distress on Jefferson's tone in this letter? A) The word "distress" does not show any particular concern or worry on Jefferson's part for his daughter's education. B) It shows how deeply and seriously Jefferson wants his daughter to take her education--because his love for her depends upon it. C) Jefferson is using the word primarily to create a joking or teasing tone with his daughter that is evident throughout the entire passage. D) It shows that Jefferson is more concerned with his daughter being happy or carefree than he is worried about her education and studying all the time.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The following statement is the correct answer: It shows how deeply and seriously Jefferson wants his daughter to take her education--because his love for her depends upon it. The entire letter is extremely formal and serious (at least to modern ears). Jefferson repeatedly states that education is vital to his love and affection for his daughter. To call her failures the greatest distress he can experience in this world (even after her mother had died) is, to put it lightly, extreme, or at least, very powerful hyperbole.

Answer:

B) It shows how deeply and seriously Jefferson wants his daughter to take her education--because his love for her depends upon it

Explanation:

The connotative tone of the word distress would be one of great disappointment and upset in this excerpt. Jefferson is saying here that he wants his daughter to become an accomplished, well educated, financially secure and successful person and if she for any reason grows up and does not become these things he would feel let down by her to such large degree that even his love for her would become less. He is placing his own selfish happiness on her accomplishments in life.

நிலத்தடி அகழ்வாராய்ச்சி என்றால் என்ன?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Underground excavations and tunnelling involve the removal of soil or rock masses from their initial locations. This action reduces and, in some cases (i.e. unlined tunnels), completely removes the initial stresses which existed in the area of tunnelling or excavations, Figure 10.1. Therefore, it may be reasonable to assume that the action of tunnelling and underground excavation can be modelled by the unloading of a cavity from the in-situ stress state.

நிலத்தடி அகழ்வாராய்ச்சிகள் மற்றும் சுரங்கப்பாதை ஆகியவை மண் அல்லது பாறை வெகுஜனங்களை அவற்றின் ஆரம்ப இடங்களிலிருந்து அகற்றுவதை உள்ளடக்குகின்றன. இந்த நடவடிக்கை குறைக்கிறது மற்றும் சில சந்தர்ப்பங்களில் (அதாவது இணைக்கப்படாத சுரங்கங்கள்), சுரங்கப்பாதை அல்லது அகழ்வாராய்ச்சியின் பகுதியில் இருந்த ஆரம்ப அழுத்தங்களை முற்றிலுமாக நீக்குகிறது, படம் 10.1. ஆகையால், சுரங்கப்பாதை மற்றும் நிலத்தடி அகழ்வாராய்ச்சியின் செயல்பாட்டை ஒரு குழி உள்ளிழுக்கும் அழுத்த நிலையில் இருந்து இறக்குவதன் மூலம் வடிவமைக்க முடியும் என்று கருதுவது நியாயமானதாக இருக்கலாம்.

Persuading a peace activist to support a war involves:
Viefleur [7K]
That would be changing beliefs. because motivating a peace activist to action would mean motivating them to protest peace.
weakening their attitude would result in a sedentary and apathetic response. and strengthening their values would be making them even more of a pacifist. therefore you most change their beliefs before you go forth with any of the other options.
hope this helps!

5. Many people in the Deaf community view deafness as a different way of experiencing the world, rather than as a disability. Ho
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The pathologic view tends to look at deafness as a disability that can be corrected via medical treatment so the deaf person is "normalized." In contrast, the cultural view embraces the identity of being deaf but does not necessarily reject medical aid.
