Using double-talk does not ease the conversation.

When we refer to someone who uses „double-talk” we say that he can cheat, lie to people or is hard to understand because it has two probable meanings with one of them trying to hide the truth. In other words, this is an intentional confusing talk. Synonyms that can be used to replace this word are <em>doublespeak, babble.  </em>

Answer:

The answer comes first from understanding the meaning of double-talk, and its uses. Double-talk is defined as a way of communicating with others that uses ambiguity, or double meanings, in order to confuse the audience, and hide a truth that the speaker does not want to reveal. It is also known as talk that can make absolutely no sense, again with the goal of confusing, and which can mislead a listener from understanding the truth.

Given the example provided in the reference, taking the meaning of double-talk, one synonym that could be used, and would have the same meaning as in this example, would be the word gibberish. "Using gibberish does not ease the conversation."

What is the BEST way to combine the information in the two clauses below? Eddie left his soccer practice early. So that he could
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

B. Eddie left his soccer practice early so that he could make his tutoring appointment.

Explanation:

A clause can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate (finite verb).

In English language, there are two (2) main types of clause used in forming a sentence and these are;

I. A dependent clause: it can be defined as a type of clause that is inserted into another clause to make meaning or express a complete thought.

II. An independent clause: it can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple sentence and comprises of at least a subject and a verb (predicate)

In this scenario, "Eddie left his soccer practice early" is an independent clause while "so that he could make his tutoring appointment" is a dependent clause.

Hence, the best way to combine the information in the two clauses given above is to remove the punctuation mark (period) after "early" and then combine both the dependent clause and independent clause with a lowercase phrase "so that."

In conclusion, when an independent clause is followed by a dependent clause, no comma is required to separate them.

Which piece of evidence explains the cause of the publishing industry being mostly white?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The question is from the newsela article, <em>"Missteps lead publishing industry to review  diversity effort."</em>

The answers are:

  1. (A) The latest results showed the industry is around 75 percent white and mostly female.
  2. (C) Cummins is not of Mexican heritage but visited the country and migrant shelters along the border for book research. In a New York Times op-ed in 2016, she wrote, "My family is mostly white." She has one Puerto Rican grandparent.
  3. (B) to demonstrate the effectiveness of a diversity program aimed at increasing diversity in publishing.
  4. (C) She would disagree and note the changes she has observed since beginning her career.

Explanation:

  1. The information, "<em>The children's book publisher Lee & Low released a survey of people who work in publishing. The  latest results showed the industry is around 75 percent white and mostly female." </em>conveys that empirical data supports the claim that the publishing industry is mostly white.
  2. In the introductory paragraph, the major concern of the critics is conveyed in the line, "Critics of "American Dirt" claim its  story makes mistakes in describing Mexican life and culture. The misrepresentation of Mexican culture in<em> "American Dirt" </em>can be accredited to the facts that Cummins is neither Mexican nor was the cultural research adequate.  
  3. Michaela T. Glover is one of the interns at the United Negro College  Fund internship program. The lines,<em> "The organization WeNeedDiverseBooks works with  publishers and agents to recruit interns. The program began with five interns in 2015 and will  likely place 15-20 this summer. Out of 44 interns, 39 have since graduated from college and 30  have found full-time work in publishing, according to the organization. " </em>convey that the program is working to diversify the publishing industry.
  4. Tracy Sherrod conveys her publishing experience in the lines, "I first came into publishing in the 1980s and at that time it was believed that black people didn't  read. That statement was made to me multiple times, so we've come a long way," she said. "We're  growing as an industry, but there will be some growing pains." Tracy Sherrod believes that the industry is growing.
