Answer: Without placing too implicit faith in the account above given, it must be agreed, that if a worthy pretext for so dangerous an experiment as setting houses on fire (especially in these days) could be assigned in favor of any culinary object, that pretext and excuse might be found in roast pig.

This is the sentence that encourages the reader to take a position on the text. The passage describes how people used to burn whole houses in order to cook pigs, until they discovered that pigs did not need that much fire in order to be cooked. By the end of the passage, the author argues that pig is a food worthy enough of causing a house to be burnt down. The way in which we know that the author is trying to persuade us is by the use of the phrase <em>"it must be agreed.</em>"

What is the relationship between macbeth and his wife
IgorC [24]

Macbeth and his wife had a nice relationship until he encountered the witches who prophesied his kingship. His wife then urged him to kill King Duncan so she would be queen and he king.

In the story, Phoebe considers herself American while her grandfather views her as Greek. What contributes to how someone views
prisoha [69]

According to a different source, this question refers to the story "Blue-Sky Home" by Lisa Papademetriou.

In this story, Phoebe is half-Greek, but she was born in America, and she does not consider herself to be Greek. However, her grandfather considers her to be Greek. The main factor in this is the fact that Phoebe is not acquainted with Greek culture. What contributes the most to how someone views himself is the cultural practices that they grew up with. If someone follows particular culinary or religious practices and celebrates traditional holidays, it is more likely that the person will feel identified with that culture. Other factors can include being fluent in the language of the place, or visiting this country regularly.

Explain what is meant by author-page style.
eimsori [14]

Author-page style:

When the quotation or the paraphrase taken appear in the text and a detailed reference of it must be given in the works cited. This type of in-text citation is called as Author-page style.

Indirect source and how it should be handled:

When we use a quote or a paragraph that is cited in another source then it is called as an indirect source. We must avoid using indirect sources this is also called as citing.

Parenthetical citations and Works Cited work together:

Parenthetical citations are quoted in the paraphrasing as in-text because the brief explanation is given at the in-text and work cited information are at the end of the page and they can be given together in the beginning of the books where the author tries to convey messages
