Answer:

- He is willing to die for fame.

Explanation:

In the novel 'Up in the Air' penned by Walter Kirn, the author primarily discusses the tale of Ryan Bingham who is a career transition counselor. He fires people that keep him airborne and also counsels the laid-off and suggests him the way to re-enter their job.

As per the question, The Unknown does not provide his real name but rather provides two pseudo names: Erostratus and Empedocles which reflects that 'he was willing to die for fame.' These fake names reflect that he didn't care about his identity or self but rather concerned more about the 'fame' no matter if it comes from pretending oneself with pseudo names.

“If you want somebody to change their mind, it’s no good arguing. You’ve got to reach the heart.” By Dr. Jane Goodall
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

“If you want to change their mind, it’s no good arguing. You’re got to reach the heart.” By Dr. Jane Goodall. In my opinion I think it means you shouldn’t argue to change someone’s mind like you should really understand them and another opinion I think it means that you have to connect with people to get them to change their mind. Explanation arguing normally only makes people more determined just out of spite towards you. In conclusion, it will always be best to find a common ground with them and work it out because when you argue with some one they just get mad and think that you are trying to undermine them or that you are trying to make them do what you want to happen but if you find a common ground then you are more likely to to convince them of your way so it is always just best to work it out instead of getting angry and getting the other person angry.

Now I was a little confused with this one as it says both A and C in the text;
</span>"...They can only shriek, shriek..." and "...<span>the clanging..." but I reasoned that it must be A because it includes the suffix 'ing' in the text while C does not.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different result"
Solnce55 [7]

Answer & Explanation:

It honestly means a lot to me because I can really relate. The quote is the truth because if you've already tried multiple times to do the same thing over and over again with no successes, there's no point. You are just forced to move on to something new. Also, the insanity part may not even be theoretical because I'm sure that many people have seriously gone insane from repeating the same words and actions all throughout their lives.

I hope this helps...have an awesome day!! :>

Following through on a promise is like...
Virty [35]
I actually did this for an assignment awhile back. First of all I would use “following through WITH a promise” unless the assignment said on. I can’t remember exactly what I said but I think it was something about watering a plant bc I mean if you don’t water a plant constantly it will die and if you constantly break promises whatever relationship you have will also break or die. I got a good grade so I hope this helps if you decide to use it :)
