There was no turning back now. Steven had said what he had said, and it was out there now. He could see the tears well up in Val

erie's eyes once she had felt the full impact of his words. They were cruel but honest. However, Steven was still surprised by Valerie's reaction. She was never this delicate. She was typically a very tough person; nothing ever bothered her. Valerie choked back some of her tears and stared directly into Steven's eyes. Valerie's eyes were fiery, and now, Steven was aware he was in trouble. What does the word delicate connote as it is used in the story?

Answer:

Sensitive

Explanation:

As indicated in the excerpt, Valerie was a strong-willed woman who stood her ground on matters. So, it was a bit surprising when she became teary as a result of Steven's words. She became sensitive or delicate instead of tough and unmoved which was how she was normally known to be.

A sensitive person easily responds to other's actions. In other words, they are delicate. That was the same attitude portrayed by Valerie in this excerpt.

Punctuate the following:
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Almost all of the people in the room (the actress, the old banker, the busy socialite and the senior government officials), were shocked when the news came through. They had been taken hostage. Each one of them thought, <em>it cannot be happening to me.</em> The feeling did not sink in immediately. The shock was not that they had been taken hostage, but the fact that it was a party they had attended as a goodwill gesture to help a friend. Yet it proved to be the biggest setback of their lives. The actress started panicking. She paced the room up and down all the while murmuring to herself. This agitated the banker. <em>One of us will get killed if the woman does not check her emotions</em>, he thought.

Write me a paper on argument that tend to appeal to emotion
NARA [144]
Appeal to emotion or argumentum ad passiones or appeal to feels is a logical fallacy characterized by the manipulation of the recipient's emotions in order to win an argument, especially in the absence of factual evidence.[1] This kind of appeal to emotion is a type of red herring and encompasses several logical fallacies, including appeal to consequences, appeal to fear, appeal to flattery, appeal to pity, appeal to ridicule, appeal to spite, and wishful thinking. Instead of facts, persuasive language is used to develop the foundation of an appeal to emotion-based argument. Thus, the validity of the premises that establish such an argument does not prove to be verifiable.[2] Appeals to emotion are intended to draw visceral feelings from the acquirer of the information. And in turn, the acquirer of the information is intended to be convinced that the statements that were presented in the fallacious argument are true; solely on the basis that the statements may induce emotional stimulation such as fear, pity and joy. Though these emotions may be provoked by an appeal to emotion fallacy, effectively winning the argument, substantial proof of the argument is not offered, and the argument's premises remain invalid.
