1607. Being thus left to our fortunes, it fortuned [happened] that within ten days scarce ten among us could either go or well s

tand, such extreme weakness and sickness oppressed us. And thereat none need marvel if they consider the cause and reason, which was this. While the ships stayed, our allowance was somewhat bettered by a daily proportion of biscuits, which the sailors would pilfer [steal] to sell, give, or exchange with us for money . . . But when they departed, there remained neither tavern, beer, house, nor place of relief. —John Smith, “Starving Time in Virginia”

Answer:

<u>A, They did not have enough food </u>

Explanation:

The passage states that they were extremely happy when ships came by with biscuits, biscuits are food, if they already had food they would not need to get biscuits from them. The person above is incorrect because there was resources all around them to build houses, so they had little use of money (until of course, they started a settlement and opened shops).

<u>I hope this helps. God Bless You!</u>

In a conversation with himself, malik says, "i think, therefore i am." what type of communication is malik engaged in?
timofeeve [1]
The answer is b) Intrapersonal communication


Intrapersonal is defined as something that takes place within our own mind. Hence, intrapersonal communication is when we 'talk to ourselves' when trying to make a decision.

These can be thoughts and actually take form of a language. Hence, every person 'thinks' and 'talk to themselves' in their own native language. 

Many believe that this ability, to think and talk to ourselves is a major ''human experience of the consciousness''

Which purposes might a persuasive political speech serve? Check all that apply.
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The answer is b. and c.

Explanation:

With regards to answer b: A persuasive political speech is geared towards presenting an idea to the general population and supporting it with rhetorical argument. The politician uses  rhetoric to garner support from the people, so the speaker has to use devices that appeal to the peoples general sentiments. For example, if a country is facing the decision of signing a free trade deal, the president might deliver a speech to persuade the people of the idea that free trade is the key to economic success.

With regards to answer c: the political speech might serve to unite people during a difficult time, such as wartime, and motivate them to act in the best interest of the country. Consider Winston Churchill, who led Britain to prosperity during World War II. He boosted the morale of the British people, and frequently travelled to the battle fronts to show his people that he new how to solve complex war situations and consequently take action. Since he consistently had 78% approval as prime minister, we can argue that his speeches united Britain and made them strive to take the best course of action.
