A reporter is covering a protest at a local chemical plant suspected of dumping toxic chemicals into the water supply. The repor
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Minimize harm because the protester might be affected by the interview.

Seek truth because the protester made a statement about a major issue.

Explanation:

The SPJ Code of Ethics is a guide that encourages journalists to take responsibility for the information they provide. It is not a strict set of rules, but it's important either way because some basic principles need to be followed in sensitive cases, such as this one.

As the protester is a minor, she needs to be protected. That's why the harm should be minimized as much as it's possible. But, at the same time, there is a possibility that the mother is not telling the truth. It is understandable that she may not want her daughter to be exposed, but the truth matters. If the protester is aware of the fact her face may be on television and wants to be heard, it should be alright to air the interview. After all, she spoke about an important issue. That's why the reporter should seek the truth and then try making the right decision.

Thus, the correct options are the last two.

In her poem “Dew,” Sara Teasdale uses a conceit in order to illustrate _____.
Soloha48 [4]

The right answer is the D: In order to illustrate how romantic love makes the world seem new. The author starts by lyrically describing the refreshing, bright, and regenerating effect of dew and dawn on nature (she uses terms such as <em>stars</em>, <em>jewels</em>, <em>bright </em>and <em>gem</em>) in order to compare it with the one that the love of his lover ("fresh as the dawn") has on her. That love, like the dew and the dawn, has made a path for her where everything along the way shines as she passes by, solely for her own pleasure. It is, therefore, this romantic love that makes her seeing the world new, full of light and delicacy.

Hamlet has his moment and kills Polonius, believing it to be Claudius. This is his act of revenge, for all purposes, and now he
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: Hamlet finally made a decision and acted on it, which he had not been able to do up to this point.

Hamlet's tragic flaw is his indecisiveness. Throughout the play, we see that Hamlet is struggling to come to terms with the decisions he has to make, particularly, deciding whether to avenge his father's death or not. This excerpt is a turning point for Hamlet, as he finally decides to attack the person he believes to be Claudius. He is mistaken, however, and ends up killing Polonius. Nevertheless, it is the first moment in which Hamlet has made a choice and acted on it, and therefore a significant event in the development of the character.
