Which best explains why the author chose the words “comparatively deserted” to describe the counter where Mrs. Sommers sits?

1 answer:

4 0

These words describe the visual nature of the counter. "Comparatively deserted" references Mrs. Sommers' presence. She is the only thing on the counter; compared to her, the rest of the counter is deserted. These words give the reader some clues as to how to imagine the scene that is unfolding. Hope this helps.

Answer:

Agree to disagree is one of the common rules in discussion or debate. To say disagreement, one should express it politely; by establishing agreement first then stating the disagreement. Agree to disagree is not only expressed at the beginning of a discussion but also during the discussion.

As a student who holds a discussion, giving an opinion and arguing a certain point has to be in “academic” language. It means that, although the tension of a discussion might be increased, and heated, it is always needed to express an argument politely, especially when it comes to stating disagreement. You should politely disagree. It can be done by acknowledging the opponent’s opinion first and then saying your reasons why you disagree. Stating agreement or disagreement also have to be followed by reasons and shreds of evidence.

Here are examples of polite agree to disagree in a discussion by acknowledging the opponent’s ideas and stating the disagreement:

1. I see what you are getting at, but don’t you think that ……..

2. That’s a good point, but how about ………

3. I see what you mean, but …………..

4. I see what you mean, I’m not sure that’s right.

5. That’s a good point, but I’m not sure that’s right.
