Read the paragraph.

Dominik [7]

Answer:

4). At the skyscraper, we watched them in action building their masterpiece.

Explanation:

As per the question, option 4 displays the sentence that is written in active voice as the subject/doer is accomplishing the action expressed by the verb in the sentence which is contrary to the sentence written in passive voice which involves a subject that receives the action or being acted upon(by the verb). Options 1, 2, and 3 emphasizes the object('the skyscraper visit', 'the museum', and 'those works of art') instead of the subject which implies that they are the recipient of the action. Thus, only option 4 contains the subject 'we' that is performing the action 'watched' rather then receiving it. Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer.

1) The statement is FALSE. It is all about how you perform your job and how professional you are. All the quotations, paraphrases, summaries, and information included in your work must be documented despite the fact that the source is not well known or common.
2. TRUE. If the information is common and, for example, relates to historical events, (which means that many sources provide the same info) you don’t have to cite it. But if you use the information that was found in just one source, you must document it.

3. FALSE. A citation is an act of quoting, that repeats all the words said by someone. The statement “Restates someone else's ideas in fresh words and sentences." is looks more like paraphrase of a piece of information.

4. TRUE. The main function of a summary is to represent the main ideas of the previous source in a precise and concise way. One of the characteristics of an effective summary is the presence of main claims and supporting evidence.

5. TRUE. Donald Murray was absolutely right. When we come up with something, we only have an image in our head which we have to develop in order to make a conclusion of the idea. Words are our tool to reach the conclusion, they take this image and form a real shape to it.

6. FALSE. Donal Murray always stated that writing is built on instructive failure as you attempt to say what you do not yet know in a way you have never said it before. His advice to future writers looks like this: 1. Fail 2. Fail again. 3. Fail better.

7. TRUE. Donald Murray contends that "When writing, you are more aware of the world and your own reaction to it. As a writer, you relive your life hundred of times...". By these words he means that when you are published - you expose your private thoughts and feelings and share them with people. And when it is released, you afraid to appear foolish or not to be understood.

Who is the first human in the world?

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Adam (religiously)

or Lucy (scientifically; there wasn't really a first human, but if you had to come up with someone, this is what might be considered correct, as it is the earliest remains)

Explanation:

religiously [Judaism/Christianity], the first person is believed to be Adam, created by G*d.

scientifically (based on fossil records and theories of evolution), there was no first "human", or, at least, not in the way you're thinking of.

people, like all other organisms, have evolved from a very distant ancestor. This is called a common ancestor, and it is theorized to be shared by all organisms/life on earth [not the same as plants]. However, this ancestor is not even remotely human, it was likely no more than a worm-like creature.

Over time, different versions of this animal started evolving, and eventually, a species (which began to resemble humans as we see them now). Early Australopithecus would probably be the first "humans"--although, they were not really humans. These were in existence 1-5 million years ago. (This is when religion does not line up with science--we have fossil remains of Australopithecus, and they are not nearly what Adam is described as from a religious perspective, there is literally no possible way for a human to have been that evolved the same amount of time ago-

**This is why I believe that religious texts are theoretical, and were never written to be facts, they were stories that helped people understand morals. I am somewhat religious)

I digress. So, over time, these old distant versions of humans, that were really, really, different from humans evolved. This is why there is no first human, we evolved together.

One of the earliest recorded "humans" was Lucy, an Australopithecus. We don't believe her to be the first human scientifically, because there could be no first human--our existence is evolution, and there is no start to human history--it begins from a place that was not humans.

So, there was no first human, only the earliest recordings of one (which is what we often simplify to be the first human)
