Answer:
different ethnicities can different languages and often times when you know a certain language that puts you in a certain group of people
Explanation:
knowing a language means that you can converse with people that know the same language and share ideas with them. If i speak english and i have to choose wether or not to talk to a person that knows english or a person that speaks spanish, im going to talk to the person that speaks english because its easier to share your ideas with them. technically, knowing the language puts you in the group of speaking that language and people never want to go the hard way to try and talk to the person that wants to speak spanish. not to mention the fact that when someone knows your langauage, you feel more comfortable around them. If i am asian and I speak cantonese, but im in the middle of a english speaking crowd, i definatly feel more comfortable if i meet someone that can speak cantonese as well. Does that help??
You are correct! The point of view is third person! Hope this helps and good luck!
Answer:
C) The author tells about seeing Russell as a grown-up and accepting him as is. That is the detail that best explains how the author develops the theme over the course of the text. In ¨About Russell¨ the author starts describing how his brother used to be as they were children and continues describing how he gradually changed as they grew up. She had a vision for what her brother would become which was different from what he actually became. But by the end of the text she states that a ¨A grown man, Russell simply will not do what he doesn’t want to¨. That indicated that he could not be forced to change and therefore she accepted him as he was indicated by the statement ¨...my family simply accepts him as is¨
That's for part A
And part B is D I guess
Explanation:
This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. We are supposed to fill in the blanks with the appropriate word or phrase:
Prices at the mall were outrageous,______, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.
A. or at least
B. in other words
C. not to say
Answer:
Prices at the mall were outrageous, A. or at least, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.
Explanation:
<u>"Or at least" is used when we add similar information to what has already been said, but not identical. It is as if we are rethinking what we said and specifying it better, being careful to not exaggerate. </u>
For example: "He hates ice cream, or at least I think he does, because he never has ice cream when he is with me." "Or at least" was used in the sentence to explain why I think he hates ice cream and to show that maybe the first piece of information was an exaggeration.
<u>This is the best phrase to use in the sentence given in the question. The speaker first says the prices are outrageous, be then he thinks again and uses "or at least" to show that the prices are higher than in other malls. Perhaps they were not outrageous after all.</u>
