Answer:

A). Explain some of the reasons for downplaying the seriousness of the situation.

Explanation:

As per the given excerpt from 'The Hot Zone', the author includes this paragraph most likely to 'describe and demonstrate a few of the reasons for reducing the seriousness of the situation'.

<em>The paragraph displays the effects or reactions if people learn about the hazard or danger that the 'Ebola virus' could bring to the place. This revelation could create panic('mothers screaming 'where are my children', jams heading, etc.)</em><em> </em><em>and among the people and therefore, the truth is required to be kept.</em> The author intends to display some reasons that why the seriousness or intensity of the situation was being downplayed by not revealing it to people as it may worsen the situation. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

kolezko [41]

The correct answer is C) Lincoln makes inferences based on the order of events as a rhetorical strategy to persuade his audience to side with his point of view. The statement that best explains why the order of events is important in the "house divided" speech is "Lincoln makes inferences based on the order of events as a rhetorical strategy to persuade his audience to side with his point of view." On June 16, 1858, Abraham Lincoln delivered the speech known as "House Divided," when he accepted the Republican nomination to compete for the Senate. In the speech, Lincoln makes very clear the danger and the consequences for the country if slavery kept on dividing the country. Lincoln got inspiration for the famous speech from the Gospel of Mark 3:25 when Mark cites Jesus saying "And if a house divided against itself, that house cannot stand."

What is a basic word part that comes from another language?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: Root

Explanation:

Affix, is produced when a grammatical element is being joined with a word, or phrase in order for an infected form of the word to be produced. Affix are typically of three firms which are the prefixes, the innfixes, and the suffixes.

Word roots are simply the words that are taken from other languages and it should be noted that these are where majority of English words come from. Some English words have either Greek or Latin origins. Roots are basic word part that comes from another language.

A prefix is a group of letters that are typically placed before a word's root. e.g "un" which means not can be seen in words like unhappy which simply means not happy.

Unlike prefixes, the suffixes are not added at the start but rather at the end of that word e.g ment, ness etc.

Therefore, based on the explanation, the answer is root.
