Answer:

The sentence which contains a fallacy is:

B. Unless everyone in the U.S. including our grandparents can successfully use social media, we will be left behind.

Explanation:

A fallacy takes place when our logic is flawed, which undermines the strength of our argument. We have an example of a fallacy in letter B. Let's analyze why.

According to sentence B, we only have two options:

1. Have everyone successfully use social media;

2. Be left behind.

The writer of the sentence makes it seem that these are the only two ways to go. We either do A, or we'll get B. However, that is not true. There are several other ways to go. Even if our parents do not learn to successfully access social media, we can still stay ahead. Therefore, we can safely say that letter B has a fallacy.

In the following sentence, one or both of the underlined adjectives and adverbs are in the wrong form. Select the answer option

Marina CMI [18]

In the sentence "American music from 1900 to 1950 was notably for its harmony and melody, which served the public well," there is indeed one mistake. The option with the correct form is:

c) American music from 1900 to 1950 was notable for its harmony and melody, which served the public well.

Let's focus on the first part of the sentence first, which is "American music from 1900 to 1950 was notably for its harmony and melody."

The complete subject of that part is "American music from 1900 to 1950."

That subject is followed by a linking verb, which is the past form of to be, "was".

Linking verbs are usually not followed by adverbs. They are followed by adjectives that modify the subject.

"Notably" is an adverb. We must change it into an adjective for the sentence to be correct. The equivalent adjective is "notable".

The correct sentence would then be: "American music from 1900 to 1950 was notable for its harmony and melody."

Now, let's take a look at the second part of the sentence, which is "which served the public well."

Here, we also have an adverb, "well", following a verb, "served".

But, in this case, it is not wrong to use to adverb. "Served" is not a linking verb. It is an action verb, and it can be modified by the adverb "well".

Therefore, there is no mistake in the second part of the sentence.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the correct option is letter C. American music from 1900 to 1950 was notable for its harmony and melody, which served the public well.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Sevastopol Sketches.

Explanation:

Sevastopol Sketches was Leo Tolstoy's book of fiction which describes his time serving in the Crimean war. It contains three short stories published in 1855 to describe his experience during the Siege of Sevastopol (1854-1855). The name originates from Sevastopol, a city in Crimea where Tolstoy and his military unit were located during the siege.

Names of the stories are: Sevastopol in December, Sevastopol in May and Sevastopol in August .

In these stories Tolstoy examines the senselessness and vanity of war, describes enemies, examines psychological aspects of war, and describes the eventual defeat of the Russian forces.

These stories formed the basis of many of the episodes in Tolstoy's novel War and Peace.
