English

The sentence using the correct capitalization is the third:

"The Red Cross is a liaison for the families of soldiers stationed in other countries, acting as a go-between for separated spouses, parents and children."

Neither liaison nor soldiers need to be capitalized, since they are only common nouns, while the Red Cross is the proper noun of an institution and as such, it needs to have each word capitalized.

The Red Cross is a proper name, so it has to be caitalized, whereas the words soldiers and liaison are common nouns and in this case shouldn´t be iniciated with upper case. Therefore the correct alternatice is: The Red Cross is a liaison for the families o soldiers staitioned in other countries, acting as a go-between for separeted spouses, parents and children.

I'll be back later. I'm leaving. Synonymy/paraphrase, implication/entailment, contradiction, anomaly, and ambiguity?

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Entailment

Explanation:

The above statement is an example of entailment in linguistic semantics. Entailment in semantics has to do with making a statement(under a certain condition)that ensures a second statement is true. Example, since I'll be back later, we are certain that I am leaving. It is also called strict implication or logical consequence, and semantic consequence. Entailment is different from implication since all statements must be true, unlike implication.

Over the course of the play, does the character of Alice change? In 75 to 100 words, explain whether you believe Alice changes b

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

I believe that Alice changes over the course of the play because at the beginning of the story Alice is curious, childish, and imaginative and at the end of the story she is brave, fearless, has a good understanding of everything, and is more involved with Wonderland because she is trying to help people out. I think this because throughout the story, Alice experiences frequent physical changes. She's constantly shrinking and growing, she struggles to maintain a comfortable size. She begins to manage situations and handle them as an adult would, she learns to stand up to authority in order to get taken seriously, such as the Queen of Hearts.

Explanation:

Alice matures over the course of the play. For instance, at the beginning of the play she is shown as a bright and timid girl. When she first meets the Red Queen, she is polite and pays attention to the queen. Although the queen talks nonsense about the advantages of not having a name, Alice doesn’t challenge her:

RED QUEEN: It’s time for you to answer now; open your mouth a little wider when you speak, and always say, “Your Majesty.” I suppose you don’t want to lose your name?

ALICE: No, indeed.

When Alice meets the Red Queen at the end of the play, she doesn’t stand for the queen’s nonsense. Alice is not afraid to say what she is thinking:

ALICE: Please, would you tell me—

RED QUEEN: Speak when you’re spoken to.

ALICE: But if everybody obeyed that rule, and if you only spoke when you were spoken to, and the other person always waited for you to begin, you see nobody would ever say anything, so that—

RED QUEEN: Preposterous.

ALICE: I only said “if.”

Alice’s response to the Red Queen shows that she becomes more confident over the course of the story.

You are asked to write a birthday invitation to three audiences.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1. Hey John! Look at your calendar! Do you know which day is on Friday? That's right, it's my birthday. You know my party would be so boring without you, so I hope you will come and bring that strategic game we used to play last year. The party starts at 5 PM but I hope you will come earlier, so I can show you a new tennis set that my grandparents bought me before other guests arrive.

2. Hey, buddy! You are now big enough to come to my birthday party, as a big boy you are. We will eat cake, play some fun games, draw, and sing many songs. I promise I will learn you how to use my computer, as now you're big enough to play games with me and my brother. I hope I will see you on Friday at 5 PM.

3. Dear Mr. President Obama, I would like to request the pleasure of your company at my birthday celebration, which will take place on Friday (March 27) at 5 PM, at my house (Los Angeles, California). I hope that such an important and great man as you are could find some free time to visit one small boy with huge ambitions and ideals, as my role model and one of the greatest people of the contemporary American history.

Explanation:

In the first case, we can use an informal language, with colloquial expressions, and short sentences, as we are inviting our best friend to attend your birthday party.

In the second case, we should use short and simple sentences, as we are talking to our little cousin who couldn't understand more complicated structures and expressions.

In the third case, we want to invite the former president of the United States to attend your birthday party. Therefore, we should use a formal language, polite expressions, and short, well-structured sentences, in order to show respect and admiration to such an important person.
