Read this excerpt from the speech "Cause of the Great War" delivered by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George at the start o

f World War I. Which line is an example of the use of ethos as a persuasive device?
Before she entered the war Britain made every effort to avoid it; begged, supplicated, and entreated that there should be no conflict.

I was a member of the Cabinet at the time, and I remember the earnest endeavours we made to persuade Germany and Austria not to precipitate Europe into this welter of blood. We begged them to summon a European conference to consider.

Had that conference met arguments against provoking such a catastrophe were so overwhelming that there would never have been a war. Germany knew that, so she rejected the conference, although Austria was prepared to accept it. She suddenly declared war, and yet we are the people who wantonly provoked this war, in order to attack Germany.

We begged Germany not to attack Belgium, and produced a treaty, signed by the King of Prussia, as well as the King of England, pledging himself to protect Belgium against an invader, and we said, "If you invade Belgium we shall have no alternative but to defend it."

The enemy invaded Belgium, and now they say, "Why, forsooth, you, England, provoked this war."

It is not quite the story of the wolf and the lamb. I will tell you why - because Germany expected to find a lamb and found a lion.

Describe a situation recently in the news that would be an example of some sort of bias (culture, advertising, egocentrism or so
Margaret [11]

When news stations were talking about the immigrant families being separated from children can be very biased because some news anchors support Trump in whatever he is doing and other do not support him or agree with what he is doing it can be problematic because the news anchors in favor of trump will only talk about the good things about him meanwhile the ones opposed to him will talk about bad things about him

What is a plural verb
Solnce55 [7]
A singular verb would be used with a singular noun (she, Bob, Jane, truck) while a plural verb would be used with a plural noun (they, cars, books).
For example "The truck drives away." Truck being a singular noun and drives being a singular verb.
Another example
"The cars drive away." cars being a plural noun and drive being the plural verb.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

1. The essay states that the problem is pollution. This can be found in the first line of paragraph one.

2. The writer suggest that people should "leave their cars and take public transport, instead," (paragraph 2). The writer also suggest that people should plant more trees in urban areas and use less energy.

3. By using public transportation, "there would be less exhaust fumes and air pollution levels will be reduced," (paragraph 2). By planting trees, the toxic fumes in the air would be absorbed by the trees and they would "breathe out oxygen," (paragraph 3). By using less energy, "we help reduce the pollution problem," (paragraph 4).

4. Paragraph 5 summarises the writer's opinion. You know this because the writer states, "In conclusion, I believe that," (paragraph 5)
