Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d). pointing out that Thomas had very poor technique when he first tried high jumping.

Explanation:

'The Sports Gene' authored by David Epstein outlines the impact of adequate training and genetics on athletic performances. He illustrates several instances of differents sports-person to highlight this idea. The two examples are Stefan Holm and Donald Thomas who have both became great high-jumpers despite their base being entirely different. On the one hand, Holm was introduced to a specific training since early childhood which made him eventually successful. While on the other hand, Thomas was extremely poor with the technicalities when he began to learn the sport. However, he later followed the '10,000-hour rule' and acquired it so well that he became one of the best professional high jumpers. Thus, option d is the correct answer.

Debate Day
The sound of shuffling papers and soft murmurs filled the
brightly lit meeting room. The day Dawson had been eagerly
preparing for with his debate team had arrived. It had been
three months of long nights studying and practicing.
He glanced over at the other team who were speaking softly to
each other in a huddle. "Why do they seem so calm and
collected?" he muttered to himself.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit
of his stomach, and he looked to see if he could gauge how his
team was feeling
"Are you doing alright, Dawson?" his teammate Elaine asked.
"Ready for this?"
Dawson nodded his head quickly in reply.
The moderator made a brief announcement and Dawson
approached the podium, rubbing the palms of his hands on his
pant legs
After two hours of intense debate rounds, one of the judges
stood to announce the winner. Dawson's team erupted in
cheers and began giving each other high fives. Dawson could
not hide his relief and elation
OA. It suggests he is very nervous as he approaches the podium.
OB. It suggests he likes to warm up before he speaks

Answer:

OA. It suggests he is very nervous as he approaches the podium.

Explanation:

In the given scenario, the narrator mentions how Dawson was "rubbing the palms of his hands on his pant legs." This shows his nervousness because normally, rubbing of palms together is a sign of one's nervousness.

Moreover, the line "[H]e suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit of his stomach" also reveals his 'nervous' state. He appeared uneasy, which is further clarified by the last line "Dawson could not hide his relief and elation."

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Read the excerpt from a high school newspaper. At yesterday's debate, tensions were high as the teams waited for Mia Song to state the resolution. Despite the short prep time, Washington team members Enzo Garcia and Nicole Marconi had no problem speaking first, explaining their support for recent actions in the Middle East. The Taft team went second, making a strong counterclaim, but their argument didn't have as much supporting evidence. There was a tense hush while the judges deliberated, followed by cheers and applause when Washington won. Based on the description of events, who filled the role of the negative party in the debate? the judges Mia Song the Taft team Enzo Garcia

Answers

Answer:

The Taft team filled the role of the negative party.

Explanation:

In the given newspaper report, the debate was between the Washington team in support of the claim while the opposing team, the Taft team argues against it. And the claim of their debate is about "the recent actions in the Middle East."

Now, in the debate, the team arguing for the claim is the positive role whereas the team arguing against it forms the negative party. Therefore, we can easily assume that the Taft Team, arguing a string counterclaim against the Middle East issue, fills the negative party.

Thus, the correct answer is the Taft team.

Answer:

If its the one with the Taft team option then the answer is "Taft team", if its the question with longer answers then its "Despite the prep time being short...."

explain how native advertisements might represent a conflict of interest in some cases

Answers

Answer:

Following are the response to the given question:

Explanation:

In social media, websites, or app systems, domestic marketing is growing rapidly today. Such ads are paid ads, that look and function just like any other media content that view while surfing.

Interests issues arise when one's values are aroused by another. Television advertisements could in some situations represent a potential conflict of interest because some users/browsers need not distinguish the primary contents from the ad. As the ads appear quite similar to the material in their format, consumers may also be distracted while navigating.

This may cause fewer visits of the main contents and decrease the people's interest on some other platforms, and in some cases, native marketing may constitute a conflict of interest, as some users/browsers may well not distinguish between the principal material or marketing.

Lizzie looked at him for a long time, tilting her head to one side as if trying to figure him out—which was what she was doing. "You're a strange person, you know that, Turner Buckminster? I wonder if you can see anything straight. What do you think your daddy would say if he saw us two standing out here right now? Or knew that I would be coming up to Mrs. Cobb's house just to hear you play?"

"He'd say h ll and d mnation. So you going to come?"

"I'll come. At high tide, when I can't be clamming anyway."

"Then I'll see you tomorrow at high tide, Lizzie Bright."

"Yes, you will," she said, and whistling softly, she turned toward the back of the yard. The sea breeze came down from the leaves and followed at her heels, jumping up now and again and frisking all around.

Turner snuck back inside, as quiet as could be, thinking of high tide.

In the excerpt, which most reveals Turner’s excitement about seeing Lizzie the following day?

A: Turner’s words: “He’d say h ll and d mnation.”
B: Turner’s act of sneaking quietly back inside the house.
C: Turner’s thoughts about high tide the following day.
D: Turner’s decision to meet with Lizzie the next day.

C: Turner’s thoughts about high tide the following day.
