Many English words—even words related to everyday activities—have foreign origins. For example, some words relating to the activ

ity of boating come from other languages. The word schooner, which is a type of sailing ship, came from the Dutch language. Many nautical terms have Dutch origins because the Dutch were traders and merchants who sailed around the world, peddling their goods. The word gondola, which is a type of boat, is originally an Italian word. English speakers sometimes call boat races “regattas.” The word regatta comes from the Italian word regata. In France, in the United States, and in some other countries, it is a tradition to wish contestants bon chance, which means "good luck," before they start a race. Which country does the word gondola come from? A) France B) Italy C) Russia D) Spain

Of What Value Is It If You Have Windows But You Do Not Have Any Light At All ? Explain this Metaphorically
denis-greek [22]
Examine this as light that would come in and light that would go out. The transparency of windows, the ability to see through windows, is the purpose of windows in this statement, allowing something to go in and out. What is the light in you? Now with this part of the statement, it is then expressing the metaphor as a direction from inside of someone to the outside. So it some one has a window, the ability or platform to say things and have people listen, what is the value if the person only speaks of hate and violent things. What value is there to listening to someone who speaks of these things through their "window"?

Let's consider the windows as opportunities to positively influence other people. An excellent situation would be a teacher. The have the "window", the class time to use effectively and beneficially for the students who are in the class. But what if the teacher only wants to pass the time and get through the class, not really imparting any knowledge, or being to lazy or indifferent or not caring. A window - the classroom, but no passion nor energy or light.

This example I believe best illustrates what it means to have a window, but no light.

Which lines from the passage best support the author's concern with environmental activism?
NISA [10]

I believe the correct lines are:

2. "…it creates an unsustainable pace of deforestation that leads to mudslides…"

4. "…a pollutant that contributes directly to climate change."

 

     In this excerpt from “A Cooking Revolution: How Clean Energy and Cookstoves Are Saving Lives” written by Chef Jose Andres, the lines from the passage best support the author's concern with environmental activism are: "…it creates an unsustainable pace of deforestation that leads to mudslides…" and "…a pollutant that contributes directly to climate change."

      These lines best support authors concern for environmental activism as they describe the outcome of the cooking using firewood, coal and or dung – deforestation and climate change, which later affect other realms of our lives (such as our health).
