Answer:
Don’t do it. Don’t ever call your adolescent “lazy.” This label is more psychologically and socially loaded than most parents seem to understand. To make matters worse, the term is usually applied when they are feeling frustrated, impatient, or critical with the teenager, which only makes insulting injury from this name-calling harder to bear.
“Lazy” can have a good meaning when it is seen as the exception and not the rule, when it is seen as earned and not undeserved. “Having a “lazy day,” for example, can mean rewarding oneself and laying back and relaxing with no agenda except doing very little and enjoying that freedom from usual effort and work very much. When “lazy” is treated as the rule, however, calling someone a “lazy person,” then the working worth of that individual has been called into question. And “lazy” always attacks “work.”
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Which of the following statements is the inverse of "If you do not understand geometry, then you do not know how to reason deductively."?
A. If you reason deductively, then you understand geometry.
B. If you do not reason deductively, then you understand geometry.
C. If you understand geometry, then you reason deductively.
Answer:
The inverse of that statement is:
C. If you understand geometry, then you reason deductively.
Explanation:
To determine the inverse of a statement, we must negate both the hypothesis and the conclusion. In this case, the hypothesis is "if you do not understand geometry." It is already a negative sentence, which means its negation is "if you understand geometry." The same goes for the conclusion "then you do not know how to reason deductively." Its negation is "then you [know how to ] reason deductively." Putting them together, we have "If you understand geometry, then you reason deductively." - letter C
The pamphlet seeks to engage Americans in the fight against the British. Indeed, Paine wrote The American Crisis pamphlets during the early stages of the American Revolution that were very unfavorable to Americans and when their cause seemed more uncertain than ever. Support for the Revolution was waning and Paine intended to galvanize it in order to facilitate a turnaround of the current situation.
The analogy of winter intends to show the reader that as winter gives way to the new life of Spring, the initial struggles and defeats of the American Revolution would give life to victory. The use of the terms hope and virtue intend to show Americans that this was a just war against tyranny and that the alternative to victory was the death of democracy.
The option that contains an independent clause is the last example - While the team made their play, the frenzied crowd cheered them to victory. The independent clause here would be <em>the frenzied crowd cheered them to victory. </em>
