Which piece of evidence would best support the underlined topic sentence in the excerpt?

English
1 answer:
larisa [96]3 years ago

Answer:

Mahatma Gandhi used his ambition to help India become independent from England and gained renown in the process, but he led a simple life and never chased fame.

Explanation:

The underlined topic sentence is the following:

  • But, if we are ambitious to do good, without any regard for the fame we may win or the praise we may command, our course will be honorable and our acts will be worthy.

The topic sentence is the most important sentence of the paragraph. It lets us know what the rest of the paragraph will be about and is usually found at its beginning.

The evidence that supports the given topic sentence is the sentence about Mahatma Gandhi. We can see that he helped India gain independence but not because he wanted fame. He simply wanted to help his people and always led a simple life, despite his achievements. This is exactly what the underlined sentence tells about - being ambitious, but not for selfish reasons.

One statement that is an example of fallacious reasoning is:

  • There is no better way to establish hope for the future than to enlighten young minds.

<h3>What is fallacious reasoning?</h3>

Fallacious reasoning occurs if there are errors or inconsistencies in the reasoning, this might include errors of logic such as the reasons not supporting the claim or errors in the argument such as including irrelevant information.

<h3>What is one example of fallacious reasoning in "Remarks on East-West Relations at the Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin"?</h3>

One example of fallacious reasoning in this speech is:

  • There is no better way to establish hope for the future than to enlighten young minds

To support the idea of international cooperation.

This can be classified as fallacious reasoning because Ronald Reagan is trying to support the idea of international cooperation by appealing to feelings and emotions related to "hope for the future", which is not based on logic and is not valid.

Which character is the fool who reveals a truth in Shakespeare's and why Much Ado About Nothing ?
Savatey [412]

The fool in Shakespeare’s comedy “Much Ado About Nothing” is Dogberry. The role of fools is to speak the truth to the characters and the audience, but no matter how harsh the truth they speak is, no one ever believes them – as they are only the fools. Dogberry, even though not smart, is the only one to comprehend and reveal the theme in comedy: the appearance versus reality by showing that none of the city’s leaders are what they appear to be. As Isaac Asimov said in “Guide to Shakespeare”: “That, of course, is the great secret of the successful fool – that he is no fool at all.”

<span>The phrase “Much Ado about Nothing” means that a great deal of fuss ("much ado") is made of something which is insignificant ("nothing"). In this comedy the title implies to the unfounded claims of Hero's infidelity and claims that Benedick and Beatrice are in love with one another.</span>

What are three things necessary for a change in character to be believable? Explain, not just list.
ss7ja [257]
Truth: You must say the truth, even if it hurts. Truth.. is better than lies in a long run, because if you lie, when truth hits, it will even be harder, and your character will be damaged
Trust: You must earn people's trust before people start believing you in a long run. You must uphold what you say, and do what is right.
Cooperation: Even with those two, you must learn to cooperate with people. If you are one-man army the whole time, then people may not give you a wide invitation to their group, since you have no experience with working with others. However, only cooperate with things that do good.

These are 3 things necessary in a character to be believable (at least to a certain degree)

How did juvenile justice change in the 1980s and 1990s
erica [24]

In the late 1980s, the public perceived that juvenile crime was on the rise and that the system was too lenient. Many states passed punitive laws, including mandatory sentences and automatic adult court transfer for certain crimes. 

In the 1990s, this tough on crime trend accelerated. Tougher laws made it easier to transfer youth offenders to the criminal justice system. By the mid-1990s, use of institutional confinement for even minor offenses was growing. Youth correctional facilities across the country were overcrowded and conditions were deplorable.

Beginning in the late 1990s, the drive to increase rates of youth incarceration began to recede. Led by California, many states began reducing the number of youths committed to youth correctional institutions.

Borrowing from the lessons learned from the closing of the Massachusetts training schools in the early 1970s, the efficiency of the congregate institution was now being questioned. 

By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, states such as California were instituting the most sweeping reforms in the history of the juvenile justice system.
