Answer:

Language can be called arbitrary because, Words do not inherently resemble the objects that they represent and The word chair does not resemble the object it represents.

Explanation:

Languages are Arbitrary means that there is no relationship between the words that we use and the natural meaning of that particular word.

Words do not inherently resemble the objects that they represent. There are certain words which might be meaningless to some, but those are the exact words which are understood by many. Say for example, the word ‘chair’ doesn’t necessarily resemble the object it represents. It doesn’t tell us anything about what exactly the kind or type of object it is referring to.

Marissa claims that stacking 6 blocks with dimensions of will give the same volume as stacking 9 blocks with dimensions of . Whi

Marta_Voda [28]

Correction To the Question

The dimensions of the 6 blocks stacked are $\frac{1}{2}X1X1$
The dimensions of the 9 blocks stacked are $\frac{1}{3}X1X1$ .

Answer:

(A)Six of the one-half cubes would have a volume of 3 cubic units.
(D)Three of the one-third cubes will make 1 unit cube.

(E)Two of the one-half cubes will make 1 unit cube.
(F)Both stacks will have a volume of 3 cubic units.

Explanation:

Marissa claims that stacking 6 blocks with dimensions of $\frac{1}{2}X1X1$ will give the same volume as stacking 9 blocks with dimensions of $\frac{1}{3}X1X1$ .

First, we examine the volume of each block.

Block 1

The dimensions are: $\frac{1}{2}X1X1$

Volume of 1 block = $\frac{1}{2}X1X1=\frac{1}{2} \:cubic\:units$

Volume of 6 blocks of dimension $=6 X \frac{1}{2} =3 \:cubic\:units$

Block 2

The dimensions are: $\frac{1}{3}X1X1$

Volume of 1 block = $\frac{1}{3}X1X1=\frac{1}{3} \:cubic\:units$

Volume of 9 blocks of dimension $=9 X \frac{1}{3} =3 \:cubic\:units$

The following statements out of her claim are true:

(A)Six of the one-half cubes would have a volume of 3 cubic units.
(D)Three of the one-third cubes will make 1 unit cube.
$3X\frac{1}{3} =1\:cubic\:unit$
(E)Two of the one-half cubes will make 1 unit cube.
$2X\frac{1}{2} =1\:cubic\:unit$
(F)Both stacks will have a volume of 3 cubic units.

Why would people in the 1800s find whitman's poetry to be so "revolutionary"?

beks73 [17]

In the mid-188’s Walt Whitman was considered a revolutionary because no one had ever written poetry like his before. His poetry was not only “free-verse” instead of a structured, rhymed writing style; it was also about the complexities of personal life, cultural life, and about things previously considered of intimate nature.
