Outside, an early spring rain tapped a pleasing rhythm on the window pane while Elizabeth nestled in her favorite easy chair by the fireplace. The hearth was stone cold, as it hadn’t been used in months, but it still comforted her just to sit near it. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, the light within the room grew dim, and Elizabeth reached up to turn on her reading lamp. The mystery novel she’d been reading was a gripping tale of dastardly capers. It was so engrossing that the day had passed almost without her notice. Coming to the end of a chapter, she closed the book and stared straight ahead. Gradually, she became aware of the refrigerator’s hum and the ticking of the wall clock, the gentle sounds she could always count on, like good friends.

Read this sentence from the passage above.

Coming to the end of a chapter, she closed the book and stared straight ahead.

How could the sentence best be rewritten to convey that Elizabeth is feeling content?
A.
As she finished the chapter, her heart pounded as she wondered what would happen next.
B.
Coming to the end of a chapter, she laid her head against the chair back and sighed dreamily.
C.
The book had her on the edge of her seat, and she let out a gasp as she finished the chapter.
D.
Elizabeth drummed her fingers on the arm of the chair, wishing the action in the book would pick up a bit.

You are Lieutenant Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia, which means that you are the second most powerful member of the colonial government. Having an important job is great, but it doesn’t pay for the expensive clothes that your children want. Your daughters are getting older—old enough to get married—and they want to look beautiful all the time so they can attract a rich husband. You want them to be happy, so you need to find a way to make more money.
To make more money, you decide to sell land out west in the Ohio Valley (see the map below). Because you’re the Lieutenant Governor, you have the power to give a company the right to sell that land. You then become the president of the new Ohio Company so you can get rich selling that land in the Ohio Valley to the colonists. This plan works well, and you are able to make your children very happy.
The only problem with your scheme is that the French colonists in New France think that they own the land. To show how serious they are about keeping the land, the French send 800 soldiers and start building forts in the Ohio Valley.

Should Lt. Governor Dinwiddie be allowed to sell that land in the Ohio Valley? Why/why not?

How should Lt. Governor Dinwiddie respond to what the French are doing in the Ohio Valley?

An author claims that "zoos do more good than harm." The author provides the following as support for the claim: In 2012, the well-respected research firm Martin and Associates conducted a study on the request of animal rights activists. The published report was overwhelmingly one-sided. Head researcher Adeline Moreno summed up the results by stating, "The importance of zoos cannot be overstated. The economic and educational benefits for humans are great. The protection and preservation of endangered species is even greater." Which choice best describes the support the author provides? (5 points) a It is effective support for the claim. b It is ineffective support because it does not help prove the claim. c It is ineffective support because it presents opinion rather than fact. d It is ineffective support because it provides no source for the information.

what is the differences Filipinos between Thai people​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Thailand is a Buddhist country while Philippines is majority a Christian country

Thailand have lots of temples or wats as they call it. In Pinas, since majority are Christians, there are lots of churches. So instead of christian statues being sold in stalls here, its Buddhist statues of course:

 

 

Thai people mostly doesn’t communicate in English

So if you’re not really into sign language, you need to learn how to speak Thai. In the Philippines, even though we’re shy and kinda nosebleeding on our Engrish, we still find a way to adjust and speak it.

Thailand was never colonized vs the Philippines which had many invaders

Philippines was invaded by the Spaniards, Japanese, Americans, etc… Are Filipinos that friendly??

Chiang Mai in particular, is like a mini united nations

All foreigners of shapes and sizes flock in. Its like boracay but a bit old fashioned and without the sea.  And take note, its one of lonely planet’s top 10 cities to go in 2011… so talbog ang Boracay or Palawan tsk.. well choosing between polluted Manila and Chiang mai, i’d be honest and choose this old city ^_^… but wait till foreigners discover Bohol ^_^

Prices and cost of living in Thailand are lower than in the Philippines.

Thank you to undocumented workers (ex, refugees from Burma) who work for meager salary just to get by.

IRRI (International Rice Reasearch Institue) is located in the Philippines but rice is being imported to Pinas from Thailand and Vietnam

The reason for this is because there is not enough rice in the Philippines, is it because Filipinos dont want to farm anymore? Cant blame them. I do find it weird that the ones who produce food are at the bottom of the food chain.

In Thailand, it’s easy to travel to neighbouring countries.

Who would have thought you could travel to another country for 200 dollars? Well, the Philippines have low cost airlines such as cebu pacific that gives steep low discounted plane fares.

Thais eat bugs and worms, Filipinos eat duck embryos called balut

YUM! If you like to eat weird food like balut, bugs and worms, you might want to read some of my exotic but yummy weird food I have eaten around South East Asia.

 

Thailand bugs are delicious

 

Street dogs are everywhere here! also in Philippines :D

But the street dogs in Thailand have breeds! Hanep!

 

 

People judge white or light skin as the basis for beauty

So if brown is your natural color, it means you need to buy whitening creams to be pretty.. fakers (ooops i hear thunders and lightning! xD)

I still have to determine if there exist crab mentality here in Thailand.. will update this post if i snoop something.

Philippines vs Thailand: Which one is my favorite?

Personally, the two countries cannot be compared because they have their own unique beauty. Its like same same but still different.

But we need to learn from each other I guess. Take the good stuff, throw the bad. Towards a better society, not just for our countries but for the whole world as well. What about you? What do you think are the difference between both countries?

What is the difference between summarizing and paraphrasing?

Summarizing reduces a larger text by focusing on the main ideas, while paraphrasing restates the entire text.
Summarizing puts the text in the writer’s words, while paraphrasing quotes the original text.
Summarizing is generally longer than the original text, while paraphrasing only restates words that may cause confusion.
Summarizing is for the purpose of explaining the meaning behind the text, while paraphrasing focuses on retelling the main ideas.

Answers

Answer:

A) Summarizing reduces a larger text by focusing on the main ideas, while paraphrasing restates the entire text.

Explanation:

got it right on edge

While summarizing offers a concise overview of any written work by focusing on the main ideas, paraphrasing involves creatively rephrasing text (while maintaining the original meaning), hence option A is correct.

How to write a summary of a story?

A summary begins with a topic phrase that identifies the text's title, author, and primary message. You write a summary using your own words.

Only the main points of the original text are included in a summary. Do not add any of your personal observations, inferences, remarks, or opinions to a summary.

A strong summary ought to be thorough, succinct, cohesive, and independent. A summary needs to be thorough, you should pick out the key ideas from the original passage and make a list of them all.

Therefore, summary reduces a larger text by focusing on the main ideas, while paraphrasing restates the entire text.

Mehlania is previewing a text. She noticed that one of the headers of the text is "Monuments in New York City.” What would the paragraphs following this heading most likely include?

a)a detailed history of New York City
b)a description of the Statue of Liberty
c)a map of the New York subway system
d)a photograph taken of Fashion Week

Answers

Answer: b)

Explanation:

The title of the text is “Monuments in NYC.”

You can rule out a) because the text is not about the history of NYC, it’s more of the monuments. Although the history of NYC does involve monuments bulit, it is too broad and can involve much else.

c) and d) can be ruled out too. The NYC subway is a place, but not a monument. D) is focused on Fashion Week, and doesn’t include monuments.

This leaves b). The Statue of Liberty is a monument. (When you think of New York City, one would picture the Statue of Liberty.) In addition, an added description shows that this Statue is an important part or addition in the article. Which should be true, the Statue of Liberty is after all a statue that stands as a monument.

Which rhetorical device or logical fallacy does he use and why?



Answers

Answer:

Mr. President uses the rhetorical device of allusion when he compared the economic settings of various countries around Europe for giving an answer to the national debt blames. He uses the logical fallacy of hasty generalization for the generalization of the impact of the great recession on the overall dynamics.

Explanation:

The two things required here are the rhetorical device and a logical fallacy. The rhetoric device, in this case, is the allusion. An Allusion is the repetition of places, persons, or areas that have been under similar circumstances. The use of various examples from Europe is an indication of that.

The logical fallacy in his statements is evident from the hasty generalization where the overall trend of the economic situation of the world especially Europe is laid out to ensure that similar situations exist.
