Answer:

Delays at the ferries.

Explanation:

From the given excerpt from Seth Lowe's speech on the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, it is easy to infer that the newly constructed bridge will help ease a great deal of the inconveniences of the people trying to get to their business destinations.

Moreover, it will ensure that there is a safe and quicker way of getting to their work destinations. The detail that shows the main difficulty that the people faced when trying to get between the two boroughs before the bridge was built was in the phrase "delays at the ferries". This delay made it the most difficult for them to face.

Read this excerpt from "The Big Shot." In her most recent test, she asked golfers who had just finished playing to find on a chart a black circle that was the same size as a cup on the green. She says, "What we found was that the golfers who scored better selected larger circles," adding that this suggests "that they perceive the hole as bigger."

Explanation:

 

                       ESSAY ON THE LIFE OF MILES DAVIS

Miles Davis, undoubtedly was born in a time marked by racism, although he was characterized by being a genius with the trumpet, he was a victim of racism, yet Miles with that daring personality and with that spirit of leadership that characterized him, He did not prevent those events from discouraging him from continuing to play, from continuing to create melodies with his trumpet that reached the hearts of all kinds of people regardless of their race, color, or religion, Miles through his music reflected that desire for equality for all within a nation that resisted to tolerate and give freedom of expression. That is why Miles today is remembered not only as a great ingenuity that opened the way for other people to also enter music. Miles Davis was the dominant force in jazz for at least thirty-five years. He listened, touched, and sought his own perspective; his gaze was always focused on the present and the future, never on the past. He argued that music must change (like the world) to maintain its significance. He never stood still, he never tamed, he never sought his comfort space; was constantly being reborn. Like every superior artist, with each change he left behind one style or way of working to face another; In this way he gained new followers and lost others, gained new accolades and new detractors. And none of it mattered to him.

Between 1975 and 1980, Miles stopped playing to deepen and ultimately abandon his brutal cocaine addiction. At the end of that period, in a self-taught and almost therapeutic way, to finish cleaning his body and mind of the drug intake that he maintained for almost four decades, he took up the brush and devoted himself to reflecting his thoughts on the canvas. What started as a hobby became a true passion for the musician. He took classes in New York with Jo Gelbard, with whom he developed a very good and sincere relationship; in fact, she accompanied him in his last days.

Miles's routine included painting in the morning for about five hours, then practicing with his instrument for a couple of hours, boxing, and finally composing and recording. “Painting for me is therapeutic. It keeps my mind busy with something while I'm not playing. "  Very few of his paintings were exhibited during his lifetime, and it was only after his death that the more than one hundred works by Miles began touring galleries and museums around the world in their own right. At his last European concert in Paris in 1991, he played against the background of one of his large paintings.

What is a short-term benefit for a company to regularly keeping wages low?
Employees find high job satisfaction.
Companies can expect a high turn-over.
Employees will become demoralized.
The company can keep costs to a minimum.

Answers

Answer:

The company can keep costs to a minimum.

Explanation:

This is the advantage that such a strategy would have for a company in the short-term. A company that regularly keeps wages low is likely to save money initially. However, this strategy is not a successful one in the long term. Such a company would most likely have employees who are unhappy or unsatisfied with their job. It would also lead to a high turn-over due to employees being demoralized.

what is a negative statement

Answers

Hey!!

Here's your answer:

A negative sentence is a sentence that states that something is false. In English, we create negative sentences by adding the word 'not' after the auxiliary, or helping, verb. An example of an auxiliary verb is the helping verb 'be.' There are different forms that 'be' takes, including 'am,' 'is,' 'are,' 'was,' and 'were.'

For example:

1.She is not happy.

2.They were not playing football.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided


A
B
C
D

Answers

The correct answer is C. Drew Barrymore was born exactly 100 years after her great-grandfather, Maurice, immigrated to America.

Explanation:

The Barrymore family is an important family in the field of acting, which includes famous actors such as John Drew Barrymore, Diana Blanche Barrymore, and Drew Barrymore. In the case of Drew Barrymore, she is one of the youngest actresses of this family and was born on 1975. Besides this, Drew Barrymore is the daughter of John Drew Barrymore who was born in 1932, the granddaughter of John Barrymore who was born in 1882 and the great-granddaughter of Maurice Barrymore who was born in 1849 and migrated to the United States in 1874. This means Drew Barrymore was born 101 years after her great-grandfather Maurice immigrated to America, and therefore it is false she was born exactly 100 years after this event.

Answer:

C.) Drew Barrymore was born exactly 100 years after her great-grandfather, Maurice, immigrated to America.

Using deductive reasoning, the writer a. starts with a theoretical premise, forms hypotheses about expectations, then gathers data to confirm or reject. b. starts by gathering data, then forms empirical generalizations about data to form a theory. c. attempts to deduce outcomes based on personal observations and life experience. d. attempts to attempts to make sense of a problem by collecting as much data as possible. e. "a" and "c" are correct

Answers

Answer:

a is correct because of its Top-down logic

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning is also known as top-down logic, where inductive reasoning refers to bottom-up logic. Top-down logic starts with a theory or premise that is generally assumed to be true, and then moves down all the way to gathering data that confirms or reject the theory.

Taking this in account we can reason that:

b is an example of inductive reasoning

c is subjective reasoning because it´s based on personal observations

d is not reasoning at all because, when confronted with a problem, we should try first to define and analyse it before rushing to collecting data.

e is wrong, that is, when the reasoning I´ve done (a is right and c is wrong) has been correct.

Read the excerpt from A Black Hole is NOT a Hole.

However, near a black hole, gases and dust and stars encounter its tug. Some things may be hurtling by so fast they won't get pulled into the black hole. Other things may not be as swift. They will be drawn in.

Closer and closer, the tugging force gets stronger and stronger. Close enough, the black hole no longer acts like a whirlpool.


With a whirlpool, there's always a fast-enough fish—or a fast-enough something—that moves so quickly it won't be pulled all the way into the center.

Not so with a black hole! Within a certain distance the black hole's power is so strong, nothing is fast enough to zip away.

What is being compared or contrasted in this excerpt?

A. A comparison between the power of a star and the power of a whirlpool is being made.
B. A contrast between the power of a star and the power of a whirlpool is being made.
C. A comparison between the power of a black hole and the power of a whirlpool is being made.
D. A contrast between the power of a black hole and the power of a whirlpool is being made.

Our region has experienced a record drought this year. The water level in the local reservoir has dropped by several feet. As a result, Councilman Garcia is proposing a water ban this summer.

Explanation:

Two reasons are backing this answer, in the first place to make aware people we need to provide arguments that are meaningful for the topic. Our topic is the droughts' impact because as a response to them Councilman Garcia proposed a strategy. Thus, we need to justify Councilman Garcia's proposal. And to let people know why they need it, we need to explain to them the impact of the drought. So they could accept it. In the second place, it is all about convincing them we have the correct point of view and we will only achieve that by providing evidence of it,

Answers

Answer:

dripping

Explanation:

Here, the current action of the water has something to do with "drip". Remember that a "gerund" is a word that pairs with a verb but actually acts like a noun. Gerunds usually end in "-ing".

In this sentence, "is" is the verb, and so it's very likely that we need to use the gerund of "drip" here. The gerund of "drip" is just "dripping".

So the answer is "dripping".
