Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C. In time, of course, all issues get resolved, but not necessarily in the way you would like.

Explanation:

Option A. is not the answer because it has two independent clauses improperly joined by a comma. For this sentence to have correct punctuation, the ( , he) would need to be changed to either ( ;he), ( , and he), or (  . He).

Option B. is not the answer because (the following items;) is incorrectly punctuated. The sentence should have a colon placed after "the following item" to be correctly punctuated. The colon is used to introduce a list of items after the use of the words as follows, the following, or similar expressions. A colon is not used when the listed items are incorporated into the flow of the sentence.

Option D. is not the answer because the colon is used incorrectly. For the sentence to be correctly punctuated, the colon needs to become a semicolon. Semicolons are used to join two independent clauses, or two complete thoughts that could stand alone as complete sentences.

Thus, leaving Option C. as the correct answer to this question.

Invasive species"—they may not sound very threatening, but these invaders, large and small, have devastating effects on wildlife.

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, Shutterstock

Invasive species are among the leading threats to native wildlife. Approximately 42 percent of threatened or endangered species are at risk due to invasive species.

Human health and economies are also at risk from invasive species. The impacts of invasive species on our natural ecosystems and economy cost billions of dollars each year. Many of our commercial, agricultural, and recreational activities depend on healthy native ecosystems.

What Makes a Species "Invasive"?

An invasive species can be any kind of living organism—an amphibian (like the cane toad), plant, insect, fish, fungus, bacteria, or even an organism’s seeds or eggs—that is not native to an ecosystem and causes harm. They can harm the environment, the economy, or even human health. Species that grow and reproduce quickly, and spread aggressively, with potential to cause harm, are given the label “invasive.”

Help me write an exemplification essay about how to cope up with stress in this time of pandemic.​

Answers

The arrival of the pandemic was able to completely change people's routine. This change in routine and uncertainties about the future of humanity and the individual, caused a wave of stress that was very difficult to control and that made this moment even more difficult.

In this case, it is important that each individual find their ways to deal with and reduce stress, as it can be the source of many diseases, in addition to causing intense discomfort that can be highly debilitating for some people. Each individual must be able to find their own ways to reduce stress, through activities that bring comfort, distraction and lightness to individual life.

One way to alleviate stress is to relax, that is, spend time resting and recovering energy. A great way to do this is to meditate or take a nap to recover from your busy life. However, this activity can be even more stressful for some people, in this case, it is important that these people find ways to distract themselves such as watching movies and videos, reading books, playing electronic games, making video calls with friends, dancing, exercise, or any other activity that affects boredom and bad and stressful thoughts.

Therefore, at this time of pandemic, it is important for each individual to take care not only of their physical health and adopt health safety protocols, but also take care of their mental health through stress relief methods.

Jefferson Company purchased equipment on January 1, 2017. The equipment cost $60,000 and has an estimated life of 8 years and a salvage value of $8,000. What was the depreciation expense for the equipment for 2018 under the double-declining-balance method?

Answers

Answer: $11250

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the depreciation expense for the equipment for 2018 under the double-declining-balance method will be calculated thus:

Cost of Equipment = $60,000

Salvage Value = $8,000

Useful Life = 8 years

Double-declining-balance Depreciation Rate will be calculated as:

= 2 / Useful Life

= 2 / 8

= 25%

For 2017:

Beginning Book Value = $60,000

Depreciation Expense = 25% × $60,000 = $15,000

Ending Book Value = $60,000 - $15,000 = $45,000

2018:

Beginning Book Value = $45,000

Depreciation Expense = 25% × $45,000 = $11,250

Therefore, the depreciation expense for the equipment for 2018 under the double-declining-balance method is $11250.

Note that:

Ending Book Value = Beginning Book Value - Depreciation Expense

B}Kitchen, September, rain, grandmother, stove, house

C} Grandmother, almanac, stove, child, tears, house


D}Grandmother, almanac, kitchen, stove, child, house​

Answers

Answer:

C} Grandmother, almanac, stove, child, tears, house.

Explanation:

A sestina is a poem that consists of six stanzas of six lines each, followed by an envoi that is the last stanza with three lines. And there is a specific pattern of rhyming in the poem, which is ABCDEF, FAEBDC, CFDABE, ECBFAD, DEACFB, BDFECA with the envoi's rhyme EDA while also containing the rhymed words of FBC in between the lines.

Elizabeth Bishop's "Sestina" the rhymed words in the first six stanzas are "house, grandmother, child, stove, almanac, tears" which embody the lettering "ABCDEF" in the rhyme pattern. Now, these words are used in the last stanza, the envoi with the three words "almanac stove, house" ending the lines but the other three "grandmother, child, tears" are incorporated in the middle of the lines.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

It could be that in the past you’ve faced a certain situation that made you feel really bad or anxious, but moving on from that can make you feel better. Or if you got mad st someone you possibly betrayed you, releasing yourself from resentment helps you have inner peace because your no longer resenting what that person did to you.

Which statement best describes the impact of rhetorical
techniques in this excerpt?

Answers

This question is incomplete. I was able to find the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech.

I understand the fear of war and the pain of division that afflict this continent-and I pledge to you my country's efforts to help overcome these burdens. To be sure, we in the West must resist Soviet expansion. So we must maintain defenses of unassailable strength. Yet we see peace; so we must strive to reduce arms on both sides.

Which statement best describes the impact of rhetorical techniques in this excerpt?

A. The use of loaded language creates the need for immediate action in Europe.

B. The use of repetition reminds the audience of the obstacles they must defeat.

C. The use of inclusive language emphasizes hope for a better relationship in the future.

D. The use of exclusive language shows the contrast between the two countries.

Answer:

The statement which best describes the impact of rhetorical techniques in the excerpt is:

C. The use of inclusive language emphasizes hope for a better relationship in the future.

Explanation:

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) was the 40th president of the United States. "Tear Down This Wall" is a speech Reagan gave in West Berlin in 1987. The wall he refers to is the Berlin Wall, built with the purpose of dividing Berlin into two sides: one capitalist, the other socialist.

In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, Reagan is using inclusive language. That is especially evident when he uses the subject "we". "We" is basically the same as "you and I", which means the president was including the West Berlin when he spoke of the actions that must be taken. It is not "we the United States", it is "we, our countries" working together to bring peace and resist Soviet expansion. With that in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option:

The use of inclusive language emphasizes hope for a better relationship in the future.

Answer:

1. The appeal used here is ethos.

2. MAC uses this appeal in order to show the credibility of the MAC product.

3. MAC creates this appeal by using the actor, Justin Long, a young guy to represent a cool and youthful MAC and comedian John Hodgman to show a PC.

4. It helps the company achieve its purpose by using the credibility of the product to persuade the target audience to purchase Mac instead of upgrading to Vista. The company's intention is to let the audience know that Mac is simpler, more powerful, and a lot more fun- revealing the credibility of MAC through use of celebrities.

Explanation:

Ethos is a rhetorical device which refers to the persuasive technique that shows credibility. When used in advertisement, the technique is to make the audience know the credibility of the product advertised. The aim of ethos is to convince the audience that the product/advertiser is reliable and ethical. So, in ethos, a public figure is used in advert in other to endorse the product.

This is what happened in the above advert Mac when actor Justin Long is used to represent Mac.

Each of the candidates choose a subject area: mechanical, electrical, or HVAC. Each of the candidates chooses a subject area: mechanical, electrical, or HVAC.​

Answers

The correct answer is C. Each of the candidates choose a subject area: mechanical, electrical, or HVAC.

Explanation

A colon is a punctuation mark that has the function of pausing in the text to draw the reader's attention to the next text. It represents a longer pause than that of the comma and less than that of the period, so its pause is equivalent to the semicolon. Additionally the colon is used to precede an explanatory enumeration, to separate an exemplification from the rest of the sentence, among others. According to the above, the sentence "Each of the candidates choose a subject area: mechanical, electrical, or HVAC" is correct because in this sentence the most apropiate puntuation mark is the colon considering there is a list or explanatory enumeration "mechanical, electrical, or HVAC". So the answer is C.
