How does the final sentence of the article contribute to the meaning

English

dalvyx [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The sentence at the end of the article contributes to the meaning of the entire text because it shows how buying for experiences is more peaceful, less stressful and more profitable than buying products.

Explanation:

The article "You Can Buy Happiness, If It's An Experience" shows the human being is happier buying an experience than a product. This is because product purchase is stressful, competitive and often violent. We have examples of violence during promotional events such as black fridays, where we see people attacking each other in order to buy a particular product. Buying an experience, like a cruise trip for example, is a much more peaceful, exciting, surprising and sociable situation. The idea of buying an experience is much happier and more fruitful, mainly because we don't have stressful events related to it. The last sentence of the article reinforces this idea and shows how with less stress we are happier, which is the subject portrayed in the text.

juin [17]
Described roughly/uncontrollable fire

Adumbrate is an academic word that is used to foreshadow something to occur, or as it is used in the sentence here, meant to give a vague description or outline of something. The usage of this word is extremely low according to normal corpus linguistic standards. The root of the word is "umbra" and from the Latin, shadow. And as such is the other more frequently used intention of the word - to foreshadow. In this context of foreshadowing, it is meant to tell what is likely to occur in a novel or story line.

Conflagration on the other hand is a powerful fire. It is meant to be used to describe a fire which is incredibly destructive and intense. A good synonym would be "inferno", as this also includes connotations with hell and/or the devil. A conflagration would be a spectacle to watch and in extremely dangerous to be in or around.

Identify the sentences with a correlative conjunction correctly punctuated. (Select all that apply.)
Gala2k [10]
Both cucumbers and beets make delicious pickles- correlative conjunction= both/and

Either you want to go, or you don’t- correlative conjunction= either/or

Either the train is late or Martha missed it- correlative conjunction= either/or

Neither the minister, nor the deacon will attend the meeting- correlative conjunction= neither/nor

The only one that would be excluded (wrong) is whether or not you go with us depends on your parents because whether and or are right next to each other, they have to have at least one word between them. Hope this helped!
