Answer:

b. Because every other office is filled, we should convert Dr. Blake’s office into a lounge.

Explanation:

Looking at the sentence of the whole passage, the flow of the sentences is smooth until the parallel structuring of the sentences in the end. Instead of mentioning "<em><u>each and every one of the other offices</u></em>", the sentence can be made more fluent and easy flowing by just saying "<em><u>every other office</u></em>". This will also stop the monotonous flow of words. Also, changing the way of narration in the word "recommend" to a direct form of addressing the idea will make the statement more forward and direct.

Thus, the best revision for the sentence will be-

<u>Because every other office is filled, we should convert Dr. Blake’s office into a lounge.</u>

In paragraph 1, what opinion does the author express about a poor “countryman’s” place in Europe versus his place in America
Natalka [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The opinion that the author expresses about a poor “countryman’s” place in Europe versus his place in America is that in Europe, the government and society do no take into consideration the poor people. The result of this attitude is that poor European people find it hard to call these countries their own, because of that indifference. In comparison, the author says that in the American colonies they have proper legislation and social systems that allow the creation of jobs for all Americans, so citizens feel protected and cherished by the government.

We are talking about the fictional publication called "Letters from an American Farmer," written by J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur.

Cultivate Resilience: How to Get Back on the Horse
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

"Cultivating a growth mindset is like learning a new language. You've got to work at it everyday, but with practice, it becomes more natural, and eventually, you become fluent".

Explanation:

The main point to be taken from this article is that people should learn to get back on their feet even after suffering failure. Therefore, just as we are bound to fail severally when learning a new language, we are also likely to fail in certain matters about life.

However, if we cultivate a growth mindset, we will not remain fixed with our problems, rather, we will look for ways to work on them, get better, and grow. We should not try to hide our deficiencies or internalize failure rather we must be ready to explore and remain resilient.

Why should we think before we act (explain)?
Pie
By thinking before we act, we can make better decisions.
Some people say whatever is in their mind without thinking about whether or not they are hurting someone else's feelings. This can lead to tense, ruined relationships.
Hope this helps!
