After reading the article "A Cooking Revolution: How clean energy and cookstoves are saving lives," we can choose the following option concerning how the phrase "simply turning a knob or switch" affects meaning:

A. The plain, precise language emphasizes how easy it is for Americans to start a stove.

<h3>What is the article about?</h3>
  • Author and chef José Andrés discusses how important it is for people in developing countries to have access to cookstoves and clean energy. Andrés explains that, unlike Americans, those people must use charcoal, wood, or other materials to start a fire in open cookstoves.
  • Such practices are unhealthy to not only the people but also the environment.  The black carbon emissions contribute to climate change, and fumes inhaled by people cause diseases that lead to a high death rate.

<h3>How does the phrase affect meaning?</h3>
  • When the author says, "For Americans, turning on the stove means simply turning a knob or a switch," he wants to convey the idea of how easy it is for Americans and people in other developed countries to start a stove.
  • Americans have access to clean energy and good cookstoves. They do not have to spend hours trying to start a fire, nor do they have to worry about diseases caused by the smoke.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best answer.

5 Steps to get an Incredible Cover Letter?<br><br> HELPPPPP!!!!!! someone answwr it
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Make the cover letter specific to that job. This differentiates you from the mass of folks submitting generic cover letters. Most folks want to hire someone interested in this job not just any job. We want people who are interested and excited about the opportunity. Mention something in the job description that peaked your interest. Mention something you've done/learned that aligns to the job description. Generic cover letters are so common that these first two items can at least put you in the upper half (or higher) of the stack.

Show some personality, but don't lose your focus. It can be good to mention how how your volunteer work or travels taught you a professional lesson, but don't spend a paragraph talking about your cat.

Proofread and then have another person proofread. There is always someone who has a typo or grammar error in the sentence about their writing skills.

Double and triple check that you are attaching/uploading the correct cover letter. Name each file with the company name to help you keep track (something like "Jane Doe Cover Letter Acme Corp.pdf"). It seems like there is always at least one person who attaches a cover letter that references a different job.
