English

Answer:

Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word evokes. If something has a positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant. To call someone “verbose” when you want to say they're a “great conversationalist” may not convey that.

Which of these facts BEST supports Congresswoman Chisholm's thesis statement that there is a need for legislation that supports
Elis [28]
I think the strongest answer is <span>B. "More than half the population is female but only two percent of them hold managerial positions.

It indicates concern as a whole, based on the condition of women which calls for the need of legislation for better work promotions that would give equal opportunity to men.

Other answers are incorrect;

</span><span> A. "When women apply for a job they are asked if they can type." 
 ( It is a case of stereotyping, an association skill of a woman looking for a secretary work. Not a fact for legislation)

</span><span>C. "There is an unspoken assumption that women do not have executive ability.
</span> (A comment and a stereotype situation, does not have figures to support it)

D. <span>"Women have not been aggressive in demanding their rights."
(A reaction to women's passive behavior. This reaction cannot be used as basis for legislation )

The following statement is an example of which type of behavioral cue?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

<span>turn-yieding cue
</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>When you are speaking to one or more people, it can be understood that if you are speaking, it is your turn in the conversation.  To yield means, basically, to give up or relinquish such as “Yield” sign you may see on the side of the road while riding in a car on a roadway.  To yield, on a roadway means to give other traffic the right of way or their turn at passage through, say, an intersection or roadway.  Thus, when you ask a question during a conversation, what you are doing is relinquishing (or yielding) your turn at speaking.  Thus, the proper response is “turn-yielding cue.”</span>
