you willing to swim with me


just last month, myself merely small


in the ocean of splendor
and light,


the reflections and distortions of us,


and now when I see the man from British Petroleum


lift you up dead from the plastic


bin of death,


he with a smile, you burned


and covered with red-black oil, torched


and pained, all I can think is that I loved your life,


the very air you exhaled when you rose,


old great mother, the beautiful swimmer,


the mosaic
growth of shell


so detailed, no part of you


simple, meaningless,


or able to be created


by any human,


only destroyed.


How can they learn


the secret importance


of your beaten heart,


the eyes of another intelligence


than ours, maybe greater,


with claws, flippers, plastron.


Forgive us for being thrown off true,


for our trespasses,


in the eddies
of the water


where we first walked.

1) Choose the sentence in which the underlined word is correct. A) The heightened emotion in the film effected me. B) The lotion
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

Although i don't know which word in C is underlined, still the correct answer is the sentence C. The wise man offered me sage counsel concerning my pursuit of meaning. This is correct because all other sentences have a wrong usage of a word.

In A, it should be "affected," not "effected." In B, it should be "effect," not "affect." In D, it should be "complemented," not "complimented."

According to the passage, the main difference between men's and women's communication in the past was how much
Mama L [17]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The communication difference between men and women does not necessarily involve the difference in how much each gender communicated. Rather, it has to do more with what each gender expects out of that conversation or how each gender approached the conversation.

In general, men tend to have conversations that are direct, informative, and provide solutions to the problems while women tend to communicate more on the emotional level. They are not specifically looking for a solution but just want someone to lend an ear to listen to their problems.

Thus, <u>it is false to say that the main difference between the communication of men and women has to do with how much each gender communicated. </u>

Two questions with pictures
mariarad [96]

Problem One

It sure isn't D. That would be a positive reason for texting. This is an essay against texting. It may be true, but you want to hide it from prying eyes who might use it as an argument against your thesis.

I don't know how you could prove the second part of B. In any event the detail you need has to support the idea that you are endangering others. Your problem with germs doesn't affect me, especially through cyber space.

You could pick A, but the problem is the second part of the choice. You'd really have to work to show how that could happen although I suppose it is possible. If it can cause misunderstandings, then that would happen whether you were texting or having a friendly game of Badminton.

I think C is the better answer, but I'm not fully convinced it isn't A. That's the problem with multiple guess. Eventually it does break down to a guess sometimes.

Problem Two

You can get rid of A for certain. It may be true, but it has nothing to do with stiff necks and calloused thumbs.

Same comment applies to B.

I don't think you are really talking about limiting texting. You are talking about not changing your current habits. So C is marginally incorrect.

Pick D
