Is it practically possible [or even desirable] to practice two or three professions simultaneaously? Discuss
ELEN [110]

Answer:

In most cases - it is not possible (or desirable), & in few cases cases, it might be possible (or desirable).

Explanation:

Profession is an occupation based on proper formal qualification, training. Eg : Doctors, Lawyers.

They require specialised knowledge (accredited) to practice as a professional. So, involvement in multiple professions is not possible (desirable) in most cases, as it hinders focus & specialised competence (expertise) in single field.

However, in some cases, it might be possible (desirable) if the fields are related. And it also might be need of exposure for the professional. For eg - An economist might be economic consultant & a professional teacher in an education organisation at the same time.

As you paraphrase, you should try very hard to copy the voice and style of the original text.
Setler [38]

Answer:

B). False.

Explanation:

Paraphrasing is described as the process of rewording or retelling the author's ideas in a refreshed and less complex manner through different words(as compared to the original text) to make it more comprehensive and effective for the readers to understand it.

The given assertion would be categorized as false because the primary aim of paraphrasing is to restate the ideas of the original text in a modified form without altering the essence, mood, or tone of the original text as it may affect the meaning or significance of the idea. <u>However, there's no requirement to try hard to maintain the voice or style as it may prevent modification of the work in new form.</u> Thus, the idea is to present in a refreshed manner so the words or style could be modified and hence, the assertion is <u>false.</u>
