Sunderland College has historically had an outstanding football team. In its 50-year history, the team has had more winning seas

ons than any other team in the state. In the last 10 years, however, the team has been on an astoundingly rapid downward spiral-with eight losing seasons. Coach Wilson is unquestionably responsible for this losing streak. Since he was hired 10 years ago, the team has not won a single championship. If Coach Wilson is allowed to continue managing the team, there is little hope of a winning season in the near future.
Which sentence best explains the effect of the words astoundingly and unquestionably in the passage?

1. They help the reader visualize how quickly the team declined.

2. They stress the degree to which coach Wilson is incompetent.

3. They help the reader determine how many games the team has lost.

4. They stress the amazing skill of the team before Coach Wilson took over.​

Answer:

<u>2. They stress the degree to which coach Wilson is incompetent.</u>

Explanation:

Although from the first sentence, the use of the adverb <em>"outstandingly" </em>helps the reader see how much the team has declined, its main objective in the passage is to show coach Wilson's degree of incompetence.

This was made clearer when another adverb <em>"unquestionably"</em> was linked to the "losing streak" mentioned earlier in the passage. In other words, starting 10 years ago, after a new coach was hired, Sunderland College <u>astoundingly </u>could not win a single championship, which <u>unquestionably </u>indicates the degree to which coach Wilson is incompetent.

disa [49]

The American civil war was fought mainly on the cause of slavery and some economical issues it caused, the slavery topic can be divided into what we know today as feminazi , woman who think they´re slaves of man so they oppose them, also there are several universal themes this topic relates to , for example bullying; slaves were made slaves because they were thought to be a lesser race than the one "owning" them , bullying is the same ,some kids think they’re superior to others and end up pulling pranks and making their life miserable. also some religious problems can be subtracted from the slavery topic, fanatics around the country said that slaves weren’t children of god, so they treated them with hate and that is seen all around the world but with different targets, these being homosexual persons and any kind of taboo like people who wear piercings or tattoos anything gets discriminated and its tearing our society apart,

Pollution does not generally impact the safety of outdoor activities since it s generally restricted to cities.
Alik [6]
Wrong. Pollution DOES generally impact the safety of outdoor activities EVEN TO THE restricted to cities. Pollution does not choose a specific place, wherever it could affect, it will be affected. Since we are living in this planet, pollution affects everyone even though the cause is continents away. Every thing we do creates a ripple effect to the society as well as their outdoor activities since (e.g. smog) is everywhere. <span> </span>
