<span>It is important to consider the context of a word when seeking its definition because there are words that have multiple meanings that when used in a sentence will divert the correct idea expressed therein. The words used should follow the message conveyed.</span>

The English words bibliography and bible are derivatives of the Greek word biblion. Based on this information, what is the most
Zinaida [17]

Answer: B) Book.

Explanation: a word root is the most basic part of a word (without any prefixes or suffixes). From the meaning of the words "bibliography" that means a list of the books of a specific author or publisher, or on a specific subject, and "bible" which is the sacred scriptures of some religions, we can know that the meaning of the word "biblio" is "book" (corresponding to option B).

The entire so-called science of parapsychology is simply a clever fraud. The attention of
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: The field of Parapsychologists.

Explanation:

The type of words used above as well as the tone suggests that the author does not think highly of the field of parapsychologists. Indeed, in calling the field fraudulent, the author is actively looking down on the field.

The author is therefore showing bias against the field because the author includes no positives about the field. The text is singularly garnered at making the reader think lowly of the field as well. The author is therefore biased in their analysis of the field which means they are biased against the field in general.

Is glabal warming a problem in our country
Marrrta [24]

Answer: Get answer In Explanation

Explanation:   The cost and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people. This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.

People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea level, more erratic rainfall, and droughts.

The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favorable.

The problems seem especially obvious in cases where current societal trends appear to be on a “collision course” with predictions of global warming’s impacts:

at the same time that sea levels are rising, human population continues to grow most rapidly in flood-vulnerable, low-lying coastal zones;

places where famine and food insecurity are greatest in today’s world are not places where milder winters will boost crop or vegetation productivity, but instead, are places where rainfall will probably become less reliable, and crop productivity is expected to fall;

the countries most vulnerable to global warming’s most serious side effects are among the poorest and least able to pay for the medical and social services and technological solutions that will be needed to adapt to climate change.

In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, “Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”

(For specific information on the projected impacts of climate change in the United States, see the National Assessment Report by the U.S. Global Change Research Program.)
