I have looked this question up. It is about vocabulary. We should choose the best meaning for "superficial". The complete question is the following:

His neighbor's "superficial" remarks trivialized their argument over the line separating their properties and infuriated Winston.

A. enraged

B. insulting

C. petty

D. misleading

Answer:

The best option for the meaning of "superficial" as used in the sentence is:

C. petty

Explanation:

If we qualify something as being superficial, we mean it lacks depth. Thus, a superficial remark is a shallow, unimportant statement. In that sense, we can practically say that "superficial" and "petty" have the same meaning. "Petty" refers to something small, unimportant, insignificant. In the sentence we are analyzing here, someone's silly, unimportant remarks made someone else angry because they (the remarks) made the argument seem trivial.

While citing the source in the research paper, "2011" refers to the date/year the source was published.

A “citation” refers to the way a writer or publisher can tell its readers that certain material in the work has been taken from another source. It also gives readers the information that is necessary to locate the actual source with reference of the works Cited page. A citation compulsorily includes a set of parentheses.

There are certain elements to be included while writing the citation:

  1. Author of paper.
  2. Year of publication (in round brackets)
  3. Title of paper (in single quotation marks)
  4. Title of conference proceedings: subtitle (in italics)

Therefore, "2011" refers to the date/year the source was published.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

The main topic for a class discussion after reading the poem by Emily Dickinson "Musicians Wrestle Everywhere" is A) where the action of the poem takes place. It is due to the fact that this poem relates not only to music or bands, but to the everyday sounds that are around us even before we wake up until the end of the day. The author refers to "new life", as a biblical reference in which life begins every single day, she also refers to music as "the spheres" which could symbolize the mathematical influence there exist in music. She ends up telling that the music or sounds "Of vanished Dames- and Men" are celestial. Therefore, the poem could be related to life, its beginning, its end, the ascension to Heaven, reborn and all of the former beyond the mundane noises.

Based on “The Story of an Hour,” with which statement would Kate Chopin most likely agree?
GREYUIT [131]
The correct answer is D. Marriage restricts one's freedom. This is because of the fact that even though her husband was not a bad man who beat her up or something similar, she was still kind of happy when she heard he died, because she would get to live her life as a free woman, instead of a housewife. This is why it was considered to be a controversial story when it came out.
