Identify the kind of reasoning used in each of the following statements. What weaknesses, if any, can you find in the reasoning of each?

Contrary to what the chemical industry argues, limiting pesticide use does not threaten the food supply. Sweden has cut back on pesticides by 50 percent over the last few years with almost no decrease in its harvest. The Campbell Soup Company uses no pesticides at all on tomatoes grown in Mexico, and they reap as much fruit as ever. Many California farmers who practice pesticide-free agriculture have actually experienced increases in their crop yields.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The reasoning presented is called specific instances.

Explanation:

The reasoning called specific instances can be observed in arguments that show that the conduct or information shown by a company or institution does not match reality. We can see that this type of reasoning was shown in the text presented in the question above, where an argument is shown that states that the agrochemical industry claims that their products are essential for a large harvest, but reality shows something completely contrary. Although this argument is strengthened by supporting details that show countries that have reduced the use of pesticides and have not had a reduction in harvests, the argument becomes somewhat weakened by not presenting this information in numerical data, which proves that the harvests are still voluminous, even without the pesticide juice.

What type of irony is shown in the following paragraph? “The rookie wide receiver has been the star of the team, leading the league in touchdowns, yet no one knew the wide receiver very well. No one talked to the wide receiver. No one knew where the wide receiver came from. No one knew about the ponytail the wide receiver had hidden in the helmet. No one knew Lucy Parker was the wide receiver’s real name. And no one could ever know. Women were not allowed to play, but Lucy was determined to show them that she had every right to play."

Answers

The Irony which best describes the paragraph is Dramatic Irony.

Dramatic irony occurs when the reader knows something the characters don't.

In the excerpt, neither the team nor the audience knew that the Wide Receiver was Lucy Parker.

She had concealed her identity because she is female, and women were prohibited from playing American Football.

Other forms of irony are:

a) Definition Irony. This occurs when there is a contrast between what is expected and what happens. This almost looks like it. However, the other side of expectation is occurrence. When something occurs it is most likely in the know of the people involved. Recall that no one on the team knows that Lucy is a woman yet. hence this answer cannot fly.

b) Situational irony. This is almost like the Definition of Irony. In this case, however, there is no expectation. Only a sudden occurrence of an event that was not expected to happen. If the team discovers that after winning the league that it was because of Lucy that they won, then a situational irony would have occurred. Remember,

Definition Irony is when Expectation is not equal to the occurrence.Situational Irony is when there is no pre-expectation of the event that happened.

c) Verbal Irony. This is the easiest to grasp. It is used when exactly the opposite of what actually exists is spoken of. For example, John Cena is not a wrestler. Or it snows in summer.

Answers

Answer:

a) Lea will go to NUST next year if she meets the requirements. First conditional.

b) If you freeze water, it becomes solid. Zero conditional.

c) If I get $1 million in my life, I will marry the most beautiful woman in the universe. First conditional.

d) Had I studied this course ten years ago, I would have become a lecturer. Third conditional.

e) If I hadn't withdrawn from the gang, I would also be in prison now. Second Conditional

Explanation:

There are four types of conditionals, each of them expresses different situations.

Zero conditional: we use it to talk about things that are always true. like sentence B, "If you freeze water, it becomes solid." To use the zero conditional, we use the If + clause in present simple,+ clause in present simple.First conditional: we use it to talk about things that may happen in the future or hypothetical situations. Sentence A, "Lea will go to NUST next year if she meets the requirements." uses the first conditional to talk about an event that is likely to happen in the future. Sentence c, "If I get $1 million in my life, I will marry the most beautiful woman in the universe." use this conditional to talk about a hypothetical situation. To write a sentence, we first use the If + clause in the present simple,+ will + clause with the verb in the infinitive. Also, we can write the if + clause at the end. In this case, we do not add a comma after the will + infinitive.Second conditional: we use this conditional to talk about an imaginary or hypothetical situation in the present or future. It is present in sentence E "If I hadn't withdrawn from the gang, I would also be in prison now.". To use it, we have to write the if + clause in past simple, + would + clause in the infinitive.Third conditional: we use this conditional to talk about something that we wish we had done in the past and its hypothetical outcome. It is present in sentence D "Had I studied this course ten years ago, I would have become a lecturer." We can see that the person is expressing a hypothetical situation in the past and how things would be. To use the third conditional, we write the if + clause in the past perfect, + would have + clause in the infinitive. In sentence D, instead of using if, there is an inversion of the auxiliary and the subject.

Answer:

I think it is. D. My favorite chapter in the book "Alice in Wonderland" is called "A Mad Tea Party."

Explanation:

The correctly formatted sentence is "My favorite chapter in the book "Alice in Wonderland" is called "A Mad Tea Party." The correct option is d.

What is punctuation?

Punctuation adds silent intonation to our work. Using a comma, a period, an exclamation point, or a question mark, we can pause, stop, stress, or ask a question.

Writing is more precise and clear when punctuation is used correctly because it enables the writer to pause, stop, or emphasise specific sentences or clauses.

In many writing systems, quote marks are punctuation symbols that are used in pairs to demarcate direct speech, a quotation, or a phrase. An opening and a closing quote mark, which may or may not be the same character, make up the pair.

My favourite chapter in the book "Alice in Wonderland" is named "A Mad Tea Party," and that is how the phrase should be constructed.

Thus, the correct option is d.

Directions: Read the following selection, and answer the question that follows.Blue-Screen TechnologyThe camera rolls as an actor stands in front of a blue screen. The actor stands alone, saying his lines. However, when you see the actual movie, he is talking to a formidable seven-foot-tall monster in a creepy dark forest. A process called blue-screen technology is used to insert images into a background. Today, moviemakers use this process to combine digitally created, or computer-generated, characters with real people on the screen. Here's how it works:The scene calls for a real character to interact with a seven-foot-tall digitally created monster. First, the real character's part must be filmed. He may rehearse with another actor who plays the part of the monster. During the rehearsal, the "monster" might wear a tall hat to represent the stature of the monster. The real actor practices looking at the top of the hat during the scene so that it seems that he is looking up at a very tall creature. The actor gets used to where the monster stands and moves. The monster's movements are marked on the floor so that the actor doesn't walk on top of the monster during the scene. Then it is time for the scene to be shot. The actor stands alone in front of a blue screen and delivers his lines as if the monster were there. Eventually, the blue background is deleted, using a computer, and images of the digital monster and background are then transferred to the film.Which of the following is a reasonable conclusion to draw from the reading?a.Scenes with seven-foot-tall monsters are easy to add with blue-screen technology.b.Movies are more fun to watch because of blue-screen technology.c.Adding special effects to movies using blue-screen technology isn't worth the effort.d.As a result of blue-screen technology, adding special effects to movies is easier and faster.
