There are several ways in which scientists attempt to eliminate mistakes and fake results from their research. For example, the use of the scientific method allows scientists to experiment (in most cases), which allows them to see whether their results can be replicated in real life.
Another method is through peer-reviewing systems for scholarly review. This means that scientists check each other's work to make sure it meets some quality standards. Also, it is a way to stop incomplete or erroneous information from spreading.
Playwrights use stage directions to give more insight into how the characters should be interacting with each other. Shakespeare uses actually very few stage directions compared to some modern playwrights who detail every move a character is supposed to make.
Stage directions help develop the plot because they help the actors and audience physically move in the space to move the action forward. For example, in Caesar we get the stage direction "<span>CASCA first, then the other Conspirators and BRUTUS stab CAESAR". We understand through the dialogue that they are going to stab Caesar, but this gives us the person who stabs first and the person who stabs last. This helps give meaning to the characters because we learn a lot about Casca (he is the most willing to start the violence) and Brutus (he is still hesitating and it takes him the longest to actually be able to follow through). Also, it develops the plot in the obvious way that if this action does not occur, the rest of the play could not happen.</span>
I would say that the intended meaning of that hyperbole is that <span>the speaker thinks that the colonists are being unfairly treated by the British government</span>
In 1920, American voters elected a President who promised <u>to increase the U.S. role in world affairs.</u>
