What does it mean for a source to be reliable?(1 point)

English
1 answer:
yuradex [85]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

1) It is trustworthy

If a source is reliable, it means that it does not contain false information, and that if there are opinions in the piece, they are clearly indicated to be opinions rather than disguising opinions as facts.

2) A survey of eight professional athletic organizations

When it comes to an opinion versus a survey, a survey typically collects more diverse and therefore more reliable info. Basketball players and baseball coaches are surely great at their respective sports, but they are not professional, and neither are the physed teachers.

3) A story about a teenager (...)

All of the other choices are studies, surveys, and interviews with professionals, so this single answer choice not including any research is a red flag.

4) It is trying to sell a product

Let's say a snack company is trying to sell their very sugary cookies. They might create an article claiming that these unhealthy snacks are 'good for athletes' and help their performance. These supposed facts cannot be backed up by anyone, nor are they even true! Therefore, any article with a goal to sell a product should not be trusted as unbiased.

Who removes Gregor's body after his death?
hram777 [196]

The answer is D: the cleaning woman.

In this story by the great writer, Franz Kafka, Gregor Samsa is turned into a horrible bug. This brings a lot of hardships, both for Gregor and his family.

After Gregor dies, it is the cleaning woman who gets rid of the body, in the most characteristic of Kafka´s finales, turning his main character into a nuisance that needs to be rid of in the most possible impersonal way (Samsa was not even considered a man by the end of the story).

In line 104, what does Martha mean when she says “His face looked innocent, but I knew better.”?
liq [111]

Answer:

Martha says that Mr. Schmidt's "face looked innocent" because he thinks that she has no idea about how there were a short misunderstanding and controversy over who must get the scholarship while in reality, Martha had overheard the conversation. Moreover, she has also had to deal with a short disappointment in getting the jacket, like she rightly deserves to.

Explanation:

Marta Salinas's short story "The Scholarship Jacket," tells the story of a school girl named Martha and her achievement of getting the school's scholarship jacket, though not without any obstacles along the way. But despite the short disappointment, Martha was able to get the long-awaited jacket that she has been vying for a long time.

When Martha said<em> "His face looked innocent, but I knew better"</em>, she was referring to Mr. Schmidt, her history teacher who she overheard having a tense conversation with her math teacher Mr. Boone over who should be given the jacket. While Mr. Boone favors Joann whose father is rich and a Board member, Mr. Schmidt wants Martha to get it and she rightly deserves it because of her perfect grades. But both teachers did not know Martha overheard their conversation.

So, when Mr. Schmidt congratulated her, Martha stated that <em>"his face looked innocent"</em> as if Martha doesn't know anything about the conversation or even the disappointment she was given on the path to getting the jacket. But in truth, Martha knew everything and that was why she admitted <em>"[she] knew better." </em>
