Answer:

A dictionary, by definition is a book or electronic resource that lists the words of a language, typically in alphabetical order and states their meaning and often provides information about pronunciation, roots, origin and usage. On the other hand a thesaurus is a book that lists words in groups of synonyms and related concepts. A dictionary is often used to find how to spell a word or what the definition of the word is, a thesaurus is used to find synonym and antonyms.

(I don't know if its 50 words or not, but I hope it helps!)

A manufacturing machine has two processes. One of them is repeated 4 times and the second only once. The entire

Anarel [89]

Answer:

The last graph in the option represents the overall equation of this scenario (it is option D if the last graph shown is the fourth option).

Explanation:

A manufacturing machine has two processes.

First let's represent the time of the two processes with variables:

The time of 1st process = a

The time of 2nd process = b

Since 1st process is repeated 4 times = 4×a = 4a

Also 2nd process is repeated only once = 1×b = b

Then we would represent the equation of the entire process

The entire cycle is said not to take longer than 3 minutes, meaning it less than or equal to 3 = ≤3

The equation of the entire process gives an inequality:

4a+b ≤ 3

Next, we would derive values for a to get b and vice versa in order to plot the graph using the equation: 4a+b = 3

For a = 0

4(0) +b= 3

b = 3

(a,b) = (0,3)

For b = 0

4a + 0 = 3

a= 3/4 = 0.75

(a,b) = (0.75, 0)

Let (a,b) represent (x,y) on the graph

Plotting the graph with coordinates (a,b) = (x,y) : (0,3), (0.75, 0); we get a line going downward passing, through 3 on y axis and 0.75 on x axis. The shaded portion represent the inequality: 4a+b ≤ 3

The last graph in the option represents the overall equation of this scenario (it is option D if the last graph shown is the fourth option).

In the section "Facts v. Interpretation," how does Mr. Kurland compare non-critical readers with critical readers?

Anika [276]

Answer:

Mr. Kurland compares the critical and non-critical readers with some characterizes. First, the non-critical reader doesn’t know how to read a text, the lecture of it is simple and go to the point, for example: rewrite the answer for a question with no double-check, they only memorize words. On the other hand, the critical readers have a lecture of the document deeper, they identify what the text is saying and the position of the author, if they understand that, they can argue and form a critical opinion.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The answer is that, the speaker wishes that America could be like it was when Whitman was alive

Explanation:

Ginsberg as someone who promotes diversity chose Walt Whitman as a hero and guide because he is a poet of everything and loves diversity like himself. ( In the 50’s, America is like Ozzie and Harriet: middle class, white, hard-working, etc. which was all about conforming to a certain standards, while Ginsberg was all about diversity).

He hopes for the creation of America big enough for individuality rather than the too much conformity currently obtainable (Like American citizens should not worry about making money, but instead, they should worry about being themselves or people try to have a different sexual oreintation in an era that was uptight about sexuality).

What thoughts might you want to share with George

forsale [732]

Answer:

Little is to say to Floyd's friends and family in such a painful moment. However, I do believe that his death has had a powerful impact and them knowing that it might be able to change the world as we know it, could provide them some comfort.

Explanation:

The police violence against George Floyd is no different from any other African American experience with the police, and it saddens me that only because this case became filmed and viral online, is that people are now paying attention.

The protests feel like an eruption that could not be avoided, because impunity has gone too far, and people are rightfully angry. And the police brutality against those protesting is only one more proof of that rightfulness.

I feel that at this point is time to listen to African Americans and make sure that governmental policies are applied to fix the inherent racism in our society, not only by the police but also in every microaggression we all reproduce in our everyday lives.

I´m scared that these events may not be enough, that eventually the media will stop focusing on this issue. It´s on every one of us to keep this conversation going, to make sure policies are changed, to vote for those who believe in equality, and to revise our own behaviors to ensure change happens.
