Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights—lines of light—circles and blurs of light—ten thousand torches would not have been the same. The sky itself was alight—you could barely see the stars for the glow in the sky. I thought to myself "This is strong magic" and trembled. There was a roaring in my ears like the rushing of rivers. Then my eyes grew used to the light and my ears to the sound. I knew that I was seeing the city as it had been when the gods were alive.

That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died. Everywhere went the gods, on foot and in chariots—there were gods beyond number and counting and their chariots blocked the streets. They had turned night to day for their pleasure—they did not sleep with the sun. The noise of their coming and going was the noise of the many waters. It was magic what they could do—it was magic what they did.

Which details from the text best support the analysis that the narrator is in awe of the city at night? Select three options.

“But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights.”
“I thought to myself ‘This is a strong magic’ and trembled.”
“That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died.”

In the United States, who has more power, the President or Congress? Why do you think so?

Answers

Answer:

Presidential reputations rise or fall with gross domestic product. The state of the economy can determine if presidents are re-elected, and it shapes historical memory of their success or failure.

In the news media, we often use the handover of power as the time for assessing the economic record of the departing president. (I’ve done it myself recently.) Some economists have predicted that the Trump administration could create the next recession or financial crisis. And scholars have studied the relative economic conditions generated by Republicans and Democrats for predictive meaning (Democrats have done better since World War II, they found).

But the reality is that presidents have far less control over the economy than you might imagine. Presidential economic records are highly dependent on the luck of where the nation is in the economic cycle. And the White House has no control over the demographic and technological forces that influence the economy

Answers

The correct answer is B. They suspect something strange may be going on.

Explanation

According to the fragment, it can be inferred that the central theme of the discussion between Charlie and Steve is about a strange fact that caught their attention and they are going to check what has happened. In addition, they discard the option that it was a meteorite as Steve says "It couldn't be the meteor. A meteor couldn't do this". According to the above, the correct answer is B because they can not explain the event that just happened.

Read and write the answer to the given question below...

People have been trying for centuries to prove that aliens exist. But no one has yet been able to do it. Therefore, aliens do not exist. { highlight text = herefore, aliens do not exist. }

1. Which of the following logical fallacies does the author commit upon concluding that "Aliens do not exist"?

a) Begging the question, present in an argument in which the arguer asks his or her opponent to simply accept a conclusion absent any real evidence; the argument either relies on a premise that says the same thing as the conclusion (commonly referred to as “being circular” or “circular reasoning”) or simply ignores an important (but questionable) assumption that the argument rests on.

b) Appeal to ignorance, present in an argument in which the arguer relies on the supposition that, due to a lack of conclusive evidence, the conclusion of an argument should be accepted.

c) Ad populum, present in an argument in which the arguer takes advantage of the desire most people have to be liked and to fit in with others, using that desire to try to get the audience to accept his or her argument.

d) False dichotomy, present in an argument in which the arguer makes it look as though the answer to a question admits of only two alternatives (one that is logical and one that is illogical), when, in reality, there are multiple undisclosed options available.

e) Appeal to Fear, present in an argument in which the arguer relies on the instillation of fear in the opponent, rather than the presentation of evidence, to support a claim. (Also known as a “scare tactic”.)

Answers

Answer:

b) Appeal to ignorance, present in an argument in which the arguer relies on the supposition that, due to a lack of conclusive evidence, the conclusion of an argument should be accepted.

Explanation:

  The logical fallacy of appeal to ignorance is when an argument's conclusion is based on the absence of any evidence proving against it. In other words, an appeal to ignorance is when an arguer relies on the supposition that the lack of any evidence proving otherwise makes his conclusion acceptable and right.

In the given case of the existence of aliens, the speaker decides that "[since] no one has yet been able to [prove that aliens exist]", therefore, it must be true and accepted that "aliens do not exist." This argument follows the logical fallacy of an appeal to ignorance.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

write a narrative essay about a place you have visited​

Answers

Answer:

This place is meaningful to me because it is part of the county I loved, is part of the county where I grew up and is part of my childhood. This place is in the country in an old region named Appalachia, a small piece of the Appalachian Mountains, in a town named Pikeville.

Pikeville is a polluted town because of the coal industry. People live in apartment or condominium buildings because of its little space available. I grew up in one of the many buildings in Pikeville admiring from my bedroom window the beauty of the mountains, always exploring with my eyes the forest or the meadows, looking for a clean and quiet place. And, I found one on a hill in the back of the town. It is about 100 feet square, it has seven old trees, wild flowers and a lot of bugs and ants during summer time.

I used to go there to sit down on a rock and watch the town and my trees. There was a very old tree, a maple tree, with a huge trunk. The others were smaller, three in the back, three on my left side and the old maple tree on my right. There were flowers, many kinds, white, yellow, purple and blue. It was nobody's place. Nobody owned that hill, but it was beautiful and peaceful and I dreamed many times about a white house over there.

I used to go there to be alone or to dream with my eyes open admiring the blue sky or the clouds. I liked to go there to lay down on the grass, listen to the wind, kiss the flowers and watch the leaves moving.

Once again, let's assume the jewelry was stolen. But suppose that Hugo did not know the jewelry was stolen. He bought the stolen jewelry, and then gave the gift to his mom in good faith. What kind of title does his mom now possess

Answers

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer: A void title because stolen goods always remain stolen goods

Explanation:

The question refers to a hypothetical situation in which Hugo, a 21-year-old man, buys a gold necklace and diamond earrings for his mother´s birthday. He´s told they are new and he´s offered a really good price.

Even if Hugo did not know about it, if the jewelry was actually stolen, his mom will have a void title because stolen goods will always remain stolen goods.

There´s a fundamental common-law principle that states that an individual can´t transfer a better title than he has, as well as a buyer, can´t obtain a better title than that of the seller. This means that someone who has stolen goods, doesn´t have a title in them, and the person who buys them from the thief will also have a void title.

Americans are considered to be mall addicts, and this addiction is accused of increasing anti-social behavior. The assertion that malls encourage anti-social behavior is absurd. The word that is most responsible for producing the tone in the above passage is:
Anti-social
Absurd
Assertion
Behavior

Answers

Answer:

Absurd.

Explanation:

The tone in a text or passage refers to the attitude or opinion of the author presented in the text. This tone can be understood or known through the use of certain words in the text, which can make readers get or understand what the author's tone is regarding the text.

In the given passage, the author talks about how mall culture is affecting Americans. But the word that best tells us the tone of the passage is the use of the word "absurd" which makes the author's opinion clear. Through this word, we can know that the author thinks the opinion of people about Americans and their mall culture is absurd.

Thus, the correct answer is absurd.
