Answer:

Lewis begin his speech with humor to engage the audience and to lighten the mood of the audience.

Explanation:

Michael Lewis started his speech with a perception of humor at the Princeton University and required of the students to award themselves an approval clap due to the fact that he needed the students to perceive that they had attained something worthy of recognition

He needed the students to perceive that they had been diligent enough to be among those that are graduating and to always remember at all times the lessons learnt. In his speech, he intented to relate to the students how favoured they are to have been trained for occupations in the market which unlike when he became a graduate he had little or no preparation for a job.

The correct answer is<span> People per hour, because the dependent quantity is the people

That is because a dependent variable is one that changes based on other quantities that are being manipulated in an experiment. You can't manipulate the number of people, but you can hours, so it is independent.</span>

Why did Revkin send his blog to several biologists and scholars? - "In Defense of Everglade Pythons"
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Revkin said he thinks several problems hinder accurate scientific reporting. He discussed the incompatibility of news and science, as well as the pressure on journalists to report new discoveries or exaggerate the importance of findings, or risk having their articles cut. He said he knows the limits of news reporting firsthand — he said he typically had only four hours and 500 words in which to summarize an idea or phenomenon.

He said he thinks a general lack of public knowledge about science — especially in the fields of technology and health — exacerbates some of the media’s inaccuracies that result from the rush to report things before other news outlets.
