Answer:
So you can understand the topic very well at least that is what my teacher says.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Yesterday I cleaned my closet and dusted it thoroughly. I found receipts in a few of my jeans. I folded them neatly and put them in my drawer. I found an old box decorated with ribbons and a pink bow. It still looked pretty and new. In the bottom drawer, there was a bottle of perfume that Mom bought in Sweden. The perfume is old, but it still has a fresh, flowery scent. Next to the perfume there was an old postcard that Dad sent when he visited China.
Which two pronouns in the paragraph have unclear antecedents?
Answer:
The pronouns "this" and "it" have unclear antecedents.
Explanation:
The precedent of a pronoun is the word to which the pronoun is referring. When the pronoun has an unclear and defined precedent it means that it may be referring to more than one term in the text and it is not possible to identify which term it is.
In the text shown in the question above, we have two examples of pronouns with unclear antecedents. The first example is the pronoun "them" in the phrase "I found receipts in a few of my jeans. I folded them neatly and put them in my drawer," where the pronoun can refer to both the word "receipts" and the word " jeans".
The second example is found in the pronoun "it", in the phrase "I found an old box decorated with ribbons and a pink bow. It still looked pretty and new," where the first name can refer to both the word "box" and the word "bow".
Newton Minow's speech was intended for television broadcasters.
Explanation:
Newton Minow was appointed as chairman of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after which he gave his first speech on May 9, 1961.
His speech had marked the end of Golden Age of Television in America.
As per Minow, whatever was shown on television at that time was a huge wasteland. The things to be enjoyed in television are very few.
He suggested that broadcasters should broadcast things that show some respect to the needs of children. Broadcasters should own some social responsibility and telecast things that are related to advancement of education and culture. The programs should have some responsibility, morality and good taste that people enjoy while watching.
Answer:
Usually either B or C. Can be A if it's used during quotes. [see explanation - question contains nuance]
Explanation:
Honestly, it depends. Usually, an ellipsis is used in speech to show that the character is thinking and drifting off. If it's in a non-fiction formal piece of persuasive writing, then it would be B. Otherwise, if it's an essay and it's used in a quote, it's A. Usually though, it would be C.
Depends on context.
Answer:
C. Wants are less important to survival than needs.
Explanation:
Economic wants are those desires that can be met by purchasing/consuming a good, service, or activity.
Economic needs are those things that one cannot do without and they can be physical needs such as food, water, clothing.
Wants can actually fulfill some needs and they are less important than needs because if resources are unavailable to purchase, a person can survive without it, but needs are more important to survival.
