Fluoride is a mineral that is added to public drinking water supplies in much of the United States in order to reduce levels of

tooth decay. When a tooth is forming, fluoride strengthens the enamel, or outside coating of the teeth. The fluoride mixes with the enamel, making it harder. In addition, when fluoride mixes with saliva, it can protect teeth from sugars, further reducing tooth decay. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that drinking fluoridated water provides additional protection even for people who simply brush with fluoride toothpaste. Reports on the impacts of fluoridated drinking water have concluded that it reduces tooth decay by about twenty-five percent.

Answer:

Cause and effect

Explanation:

You can rule out sequence since it's not really telling a story

It's not Compare and Contrast because it's not stressing the importance of water with fluoride or without fluoride in the water

It's not Problem and Solution because water without Fluoride was not an issue, simply a precaution.

Leaving C) as our answer, this shows the effects of Fluoride in our drinking water and how it affects the population.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following is an example of a strategy you can use to ensure others understand what you are saying?
garik1379 [7]
The best answer would be, "C". The listeners could repeat what you're saying, but they might not understand what you are saying. Listening is not understanding. If you say each idea in three different ways, you could confuse the listeners. 

I hope this helped you!

Why is the sentence “so there was nothing to fear from them” (lines 73-74) ironic? What does it foreshadow?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The line is ironic for even after the family of Don Lupe had gone, either dead or the children taken away to far away lands, he still had to live a life in hiding, "like a leper", scared of any new stranger in town.

It foreshadows the event that will be upon him, being hunted and eventually tortured and killed by the son of the very man he had killed.

Explanation:

The short story "Tell Them Not To Kill Me" by Juan Rulfo is a story about an accused man on death penalty. The accused Juvencio Nava had murdered his neighbor Don Lupe over a mere trifling issue of their cattle grazing in the other person's land. And for this crime, he had been guarding himself from being detected, which after the death of the victim's wife and the young children taken to far away place to their relatives, he had thought himself safe from any retribution.

The line <em>"so there was nothing to fear from them"</em> is said by Juvencio while recounting the past years he had lived during the murder. He stated that with the death of Lupe's wife due to grief, and the children being taken to stay with relatives in a far away places, he has nothing to worry about anymore. He could easily live his life without the fear of being hunted.

But this speech is ironic for it actually happened in the opposite way. He had to live in hiding for many years, and would flee to the mountains whenever someone new came into town.

The line also foreshadows the future events where he will be captured and killed by the son of the murdered man. The colonel who had him captured has come to pass judgement on him. As it turns out, he was the son of Don Lupe, and had wanted to exact revenge on his father's killer. In the end, Guadalupe Terreros' son had avenge his father's murder.

which modernist ideas are in this famous passage? check the four best choices. despair and disillusionment: feeling that life is
den301095 [7]

The appropriate responses are options 1, 2, 3, and 5.

Explanation:

Between World Wars I and II, American modernist literature predominated in the country's literary landscape. The modernist era focused on innovation in poetry and prose's structure and language, as well as writing on current issues including racial inequality, gender, and the human condition.

Many American modernist authors who were influenced by the First World Combat investigated the psychological wounds and spiritual scars of the war experience. The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, which was published in the early 1930s, is one example of how the American economic crisis affected literature. As employees became invisible in the backdrop of city life, unnoticed cogs in a machine that ached for self-definition, a linked concern is the loss of self and the yearning for self-definition. The mid-nineteenth-century emphasis on "creating a self"—a concept exemplified by Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby—was mirrored by American modernists. As seen by The Emperor Jones by Eugene O'Neill, The Battler by Ernest Hemingway, and That Evening Sun by William Faulkner, madness and its manifestations appear to be another popular modernist topic. 

But despite all these drawbacks, real people and the fictitious characters of American modernist literature both sought new beginnings and had new hopes and goals.
