Answer:

C) emphasize the extent of the power he ascribed to language

Explanation:

When describing how he sought to protect himself from stereotyping by developing a mastery of English, the author could have chosen a more neutral way to describe words, such as “defenses,” or a less vivid image, such as “shields.” By comparing English words to “amulets”—magical objects that provide protection—the author suggests that he invested English words with the same supernatural powers that such objects are said provide.

Develop an argument as to whether or not it is necessary for governments to regulate formal political participation by restricti
givi [52]

It is crucial that governments regulate formal political participation by restricting areas such as voting access and protests.

These are areas that can wreck havoc in the state and if they are left without restrictions or regulations it is likely that disorder will result.

Provided that these are formal participation that means they are driven by the need to find the way forward and some solutions to help establish society for better.

This can be futile if people are left to do as they see fit during protest times for example without restrictions people will demolish the whole country or will go out of their way to make it difficult to move forward. These restrictions are then needed to bring order and effectiveness of these participations.

Historia de juyegos populares y tradicionales
Mariana [72]


La historia de los juegos data del antiguo pasado humano. [1] Los juegos son una parte integral de todas las culturas y son una de las formas más antiguas de la interacción social humana. Los juegos son expresiones formalizadas del juego que permiten a la gente ir más allá de la imaginación inmediata y dirigir la actividad física. Las características comunes de los juegos incluyen incertidumbre del resultado, reglas acordadas, competencia, lugar y tiempo separados, elementos de la ficción, elementos del azar, objetivos prescritos y disfrute personal.

Los juegos capturan las ideas y cosmovisiones de sus culturas y las transmiten a la siguiente generación. Los juegos eran importantes como eventos culturales y sociales, como instrumentos de enseñanza y como marcadores de la condición social. Como pasatiempos de la realeza y la élite, algunos juegos se convirtieron en características comunes de la cultura de la corte y también se daban como regalos. Juegos como Senet y el juego de pelota mesoamericano estaban a menudo imbuidos de significado religioso mítico y ritual. Juegos como Gyan chauper y The Mansion of Happiness fueron usados ​​para enseñar lecciones espirituales y éticas, mientras que Shatranj y Wéiqí (Go) fueron vistos como una forma de desarrollar el pensamiento estratégico y la habilidad mental de la élite política y militar.

En su libro de 1938, Homo Ludens, el historiador cultural holandés Johan Huizinga argumentó que los juegos eran una condición primaria de la generación de culturas humanas. Huizinga vio el juego de los juegos como algo que "es más antiguo que la cultura, porque la cultura, por inadecuada que sea, siempre presupone la sociedad humana, y los animales no han esperado que el hombre les enseñe a jugar". Punto para las actividades humanas complejas tales como lengua, ley, guerra, filosofía y arte

The equation of the normal line
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

D. y = 1/2x + 3/2

Explanation:

You probably already know the point slope equation:

y = m(x - x₀) + y₀

All you need is the slope and the (x₀, y₀).

The (x₀, y₀) could be solved by plugging in the given x=-1 value into the function.

m, the slope, is the same as a derivative; ie. a derivative is a slope.

So solve for the derivative and find the slope at x=-1.

Plug into point slope equation and simplify.
