Answer:

When you are describing a human subject (the person doing or being something in the sentence), an adjective clause begins with who or that.

Explanation:

An adjective clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb. It offers further description or information - similar to what an adjective does - about something that was mentioned in another sentence. Adjective clauses are often introduced by relative pronouns such as who, which, when, where, whose or that.

If the clause is describing a human subject (the person doing or being something in the sentence), it must begin with either "who" or "that". If the clause is describing a non-human subject, it must begin with either "which" or "that". Since what is important in this question is the human subject, let's take a look at the examples below:

1. Look over there! That is the man who sold me a counterfeit watch! --> "who" refers to "man". "Man" performed the action of selling.

2. My sister is the girl that always wears a read sweater. --> "that" refers to "sister". "Sister" performs the action of wearing.

Which sentence contains an example of hyperbole? Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that t

Svetradugi [14.3K]

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." (A) contains a hyperbole.

In literature, a hyperbole is a stylistic exaggeration. It is used to give a dramatic effect to a statement.

Here, the hyperbole is: "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe." There are of course prices that the U.S. are going to refuse to pay, burdens they will not afford to carry, etc., but by exaggerating these commitments, Kennedy sounds more resolute and more persuasive.

A logical fallacy is

cestrela7 [59]

A logical fallacy is a flaw in logical reasoning. There are numerous flaws in judgment. One example is the "ad hominem" fallacy, where instead of arguing a point, the person attacks the person's character. Ex. "We should ban cigarettes." "Why should I agree with you? You smell really bad!"
Another example is the "burden of proof" fallacy, where a person who makes a claim states that it is up to the other party to disprove them, rather than prove their own statement. This is fallacious because the inability to disprove something doesn't automatically mean that it is proven. Ex. "There is a teapot floating in between Mars and Earth at this very moment. Prove me wrong!" "I can't do that, because I can't go to space right now." "Therefore, I am right!"

Answer:

hey there,

*You never provided a passage set, so I will just write what I think about this, personally, and I cannot include any evidence from sources, since you didn't give any here.

Also, it says "no plagiarism, I will know" so please don't copy this exactly but instead use the ideas I have provided in what I wrote.*

I think that having competitive team sports in high schools is a good thing. Competitive team sports have shown for a long time to be good for students. First, high schoolers will be able to experience what it's like to be on a team and get to socialize or make new friends. Second, students get to compete for awards and pride from their school, which makes a lot of kids happy. Last, sports provide a lot of exercises which is very important during your teenage years.

Being on a team is something to cherish for a long time. A lot of students already have many great friends, but there is always space for new people to add to your life. Talking to people is proven to make you happier and sometimes even do better in school. Losing or winning together as a team is much funner than alone. Practicing together daily or weekly lets you spend more time with them. Even hanging out outside of school will be a memory you will never forget.

Continuing on, competing is something kids have always loved. Whether it is a beauty pageant or a baseball game, winning always makes you feel good. Some kids have rows of medals and trophies in their rooms, and winning more with their team in high school will add to their collection. Years later, high school students will look back and see the memories brought from each trophy and remember each game, including how they won, and what made them happy. The school they go to will add their trophies and hang up posters, sometimes, to show respect for the winner of games.

Lastly, playing sports is something that should always be done. The more you do sports, the better you feel in general. Developing healthy habits at a young age is extremely important. It's much more exciting to get your physical education while doing something you love. Doing a quick stretch or a few jumping jacks before every game will get your body moving and your heart racing. It has been proven to help with mental problems of teenagers and helps students do better in school.

To sum up, doing competitive sports in high school is something that should always be done because of the great benefits you get like being on a team, winning medals, and getting good exercise. Those were my reasons why all high schools should be providing competitive team sports.

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.
