In the article, Chicago is described as being “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” with other cities moving quickly to

catch up.
How do the following sentences conflict with this point of view?


“Those 500 green roofs represent a little less than one-tenth of 1 percent of Chicago’s…buildings. By comparison, experts in Germany said that in 2010, 15-20 percent of the flat roofs in that country were green.”


How do these sentences compare to the overall tone of the articles? How does it impact the mood?

Hi. Unfortunately I was unable to access the article this question refers to. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

We can see that the view that Chicago is “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” is refuted, with the phrase showing that Germany has a much larger amount of green roofs than Chicago. This shows that Chicago does not deserve the title of "forefront" in the use of these roofs, as there are places, such as Germany, that have taken the lead in this attitude.

Unfortunately, without reading the article it is not possible to know how it affects the general tone and mood of the article. However, considering that this is an informative article, we can consider that this rebuttal, presents the feeling that green roofs are something that is being established very slowly in America, even though this is a very beneficial attitude for society. Furthermore, this rebuttal may present a delayed mood, as it shows that America is late in implementing this technology. This can be seen because the tone and mood of a text establish the sensation and feeling that the author of the article wants to promote through reading.

One charge against Socrates was that his teaching was destructive. In at least 150 words, defend Socrates as he might defend him
bezimeni [28]
<span>Socrates speaks in a very plain, conversational manner. He explains that he has no experience with the law courts and that he will instead speak in the manner to which he is accustomed: with honesty and directness. He explains that his behavior stems from a prophecy by the oracle at Delphi which claimed that he was the wisest of all men. Recognizing his ignorance in most worldly affairs, Socrates must be wiser than other men only in that he knows nothing. In order to spread this peculiar wisdom, Socrates explains that he considered it his duty to question supposed "wise" men and to expose their false wisdom as ignorance</span>
