Answer:

The situation above represents an example of selection bias.

Explanation:

Selection bias occurs when there is a failure in the selection of factors, individuals and information for a given study.

In the case shown in the question above, we can see that an electoral survey was carried out, where voters did not prove whether they had registration for voting, therefore the information given by them, could not be relevant to the study in question. In this case, we can say that there was a failure in the selection of information, which may result in an inaccurate and incorrect study.

A tale of Hope

Some years ago a baby was born. It was a girl and they named it Hope. Hope had two parents and many friends. And she had hopes and dreams and wishes and desires. And she was happy. She had a future as bright as the sun. She was smart and funny and as beautiful as the moon itself. And people adored her, for she was light and light was heat and heat was life.

Hope was life.

She grew into a lovely young lady. She was as fair as a fairy, with long golden hair and soft brown eyes. She grew into a friend, she grew into a sister, she grew into love. But not love to one. She was Love itself. The very feeling of being alive.

Hope was love and love was life.

She gave people the sweetest pleasure there could ever be – she added meaning to their life and showed them all of its miracles and beauty. And then life wouldn’t be simply existence any more – it would be adventure. And people would taste, and people would hear, and people would see, and people would feel it that way and they’d be happy.

Hope was happiness. And happiness was love and love was life.

And one day this fairy child met Taint in the eye of a stranger. She couldn’t recognize it at first. But it was there. It tempted her into greeting the stranger, it seduced her into smiling at him. And Hope was love and she felt it then – love for the stranger who meant her only trouble. For she believed all the people were good and she was happy with that thought.

And then, Hope was wrong.

The stranger wasn’t good neither kindhearted. He was destruction and war and fire. Fire was heat but wasn’t life. It wasn’t light, it wasn’t softness. It didn’t possess the joy of a sun ray or the mildness of the moon. No. Fire was an element and Light was a feeling. The one exists in the beast, the other – in the human.

Hope didn’t know Taint.

But Taint didn’t know Hope either.

Hope reached to kiss him, Taint reached to kill her, neither of them knowing the power of the other. And thus they weaved each other into a deadly hug. They then became both goodness and evil, both life and death. In Taint some hopes were born and in Hope – some dark thoughts. And together they were perfect – for no one deserves to be only bad, but it’s too hard to be only good either.

The phrase "the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword" symbolizes
valkas [14]

Answer:

The phrase symbolizes the tools that can be used to threaten.

Explanation:

Mary Harris Jones, also known as Mother Jones, was a prominent activist during her lifetime.  She worked as a schoolteacher and dressmaker. But after the Yellow fever epidemic hit her city and took away her family and her shop, she began organizing for the Knights of Labor and the United Mine worker.

She quotes that, "I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword." This phrase symbolizes the tools that can be used to threaten her to stop her work. With pen, someone can write about her, with a sword someone can kill her, or with the scaffold, she could be executed.

But she asserts that she is not afraid and she will continue to spread the truth.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:In today’s world, audiences would like find Miranda’s character to be less than compelling.

Explanation:

She is totally naive due to her island exile, and while her father has taught her, as was the norm, he considered her a total innocent, incapable of truly caring for herself (look at what she offers the prince), and always requiring a man to provide.

Which best explains why the delivery of William Faulkner's Nobel Prize speech does not support its rhetoric and purpose?
harkovskaia [24]

The correct answer is B. He is hesitant, which distracts his audience from his purpose of inspiring them. Faulkner's speech consisted of instilling upon the young writers to write about. Faulkner's acceptance speech delivery was not effective, but of course being the winner of a Nobel Peace Prize for literature, his written words were unforgettable. Faulkner's speech illustrated his character, his feelings toward his work, and the impact he hopes to have on writers. He did so by using rhetoric devices ethos and pathos effectively.
