Answer:

Charlie and Algernon are very different, yet peculiarly similar.

Charlie, of course, is a human and has a much bigger emotional variation than Algernon. Charlie has desires for love, sex, connection and relationships. Algernon is a mouse, so he has the desire for food. We don't see him wanting anything that Charlie wants throughout the novel. We can see, at the beginning of the novel, that Charlie and Algernon are similar in their simple mindedness. They are both dull, even at Algernon's farthest mental capacity, because they are naive. Once again, Algernon is a mouse, so he cannot have the emotional capacity of a human. Charlie in the beginning, because he is special ed, he has about the same mental and emotional capacity as Algernon.

I hope this helps!

Which choice is an example of an incorrect or illogical comparison? My sister has had more summer jobs than anyone in our family

viktelen [127]

The correct answer should be Katie insists that an office job would be less interesting than an outdoor job.

That is because this is an opinion of hers as someone might find it more interesting to work in an office, therefore insisting that it is the general truth is wrong.

Which statement makes the best counterclaim for this claim?

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

A) Financial aid for college students should be based on each student's financial need.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, you need to know the definition of a counterclaim. A counterclaim is a claim the is opposite of yours in an argument.

Now, we need to look at choices. B cannot be correct because it is the same statement, only re-worded. C cannot be correct because it is a fact supporting the original claim. D is also a fact supporting the original claim, so we can rule it out as well. This leaves us with A.

"Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything."

This sentence in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The €1,000,000 Bank-Note" is an example of satire.

Satire is a literary device used in exposing and criticising people's foolishness or vices through humour, exaggeration, irony, or ridicule, especially in relation to current politics and other controversial topics.

Here, the author describes how not just trivial but even important issues related to Bank of England are decided by "a bet". So, the author cricisizes the English way of settling important issues without great consideration.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

"Rational decision making is a multi-step process, from problem identification through a solution, for making logically sound decisions."

Explanation:

For example: most people want to get the most useful products at the lowest price; because of this, they will judge the benefits of a certain object compared to those of similar objects.

I hope that made sense and was helpful :)
