B) Problem-and-solution structure is used to explain why debit cards are most popular today. C) The author uses comparison to show how the value of bitcoin can vary wildly. D) The author contrasts different currencies to explain why some are worth more than others."
Answer:
A) A chronological structure is used to trace the evolution of currency from past to present.
C) The author uses comparison to show how the value of bitcoin can vary wildly.
Explanation:
The author of "From Barter to Bitcoin" begins the article with a chronological narrative that shows how Bitcoin came into being and how it has evolved over the years. This is done to situate the reader on the subject being discussed and to prepare him for the next topics that will be covered in the article.
Once the reader understands what it is and how bitcoin has evolved, the author modifies the structure of the text, stopping to approach the facts in chronological order and establishing several comparisons that make the reader understand how the value of Bitcoin is relative and changeable and how it influences the use of that currency.
As an adult, Wright has a different perspective of his father than he did when he was a child.
In the passage the speaker talks about his father when he says, "there had not been handed to him a chance". This makes it seem as though the speaker understands that his father did not have much of a choice. Then at the end of the passage the speaker says "I forgave him, and pitied him as my eyes look past him to the unpainted wooden shack." These details show that there has been some type of change in the speaker in regards to his father. At one point he may have blamed his father and been angry with him, but this frustration or annoyance is no longer there for the speaker. The way the speaker views his father has changed since he was a boy.
No one knows the origin, perhaps used by early man to explain the glorious deeds of heroes, almost five thousand years old.
Weddings are one of the most auspicious celebrations in India. Choosing a wedding gift is quite a ritual. Most wedding gifts follow a unique theme. This theme in India is mostly related to utility.
Utility goods are one of the main themes of a wedding gift. A coffee or tea set, a coffee maker, a rice cooker, a dinner set, a set of casseroles are the primary choices. Then comes crockery and cutlery sets.
Bedsheets, bed covers, table cloths, table mats are also preferential. Whatever be the present it has to be thoroughly utilised by the newly married couple. Sarees, suit pices, dressing material are also perfect gifts for weddings.
Paintings and photo frames are seldom gifted as they are more of decoration and less of utility. So next time you choose a gift make sure it fulfills the code of utility.
Answer:
The actions and projects of a permanent government are carried out to the point of letting the permanent government become an inconvenience for the people, which it must represent. This is because the government is a completely corrupt system and can be used to stimulate the creation of conflicts and battles without importance that only bring disadvantages to the population. For this reason, it can be said that the best government is one that governs nothing, but the population is not ready for it.
Explanation:
The above précis was written from the first paragraph of "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" where Thoreau exposes the governments' responsibility and incompetence to really represent the will of the people and not to be inconvenient. It also reinforces the need to allow the population to constantly complain about permanent governance, which promotes an easily corrupt and despotic system.
