Compare large families with small one
Answer:
Small families definitely have several advantages over large families. Firstly, small families can have more comfortable lives. With fewer people living under one roof, there is more space for everyone. Children in large families often have to share rooms while those in small families can have their own rooms.Family size means the number of people in a family. A family is said to have small size if it comprises father, mother and few (usually one to four) children. A large family size is made of father, mother and more than four children.Children in small families, especially first and only children, tend to have higher school and personal achievement levels than do children of larger families. It is easier for both parents to combine careers with family life. The general stress level is lower because there often are fewer conflicts and less rivalry.Small family is known as nuclear family . Nuclear family consists of father , mother and 1 or 2 children . Nuclear family is known as happy family .

Which sentence in this excerpt from 'The American Crisis" by Thomas Paine illustrates that it is a persuasive essay?
I shall conclude this paper with some miscellaneous remarks on the slate of our affairs; and shall begin with asking the following question, Why
is it that the enemy hath left the New England provinces, and made those middle once the fear of war? The answer is easy, New England is not
infested with Tories, and we are. I have been under in raising the cry against these men, and used numberless arguments to shew them their
danger. ... The period is now arrived, in which either they or we must change our sentiments, or one or both must fall. And what is a Tory? Good
GOD! what is he? I should not be afraid to go with a hundred Whigs against a thousand Tories, were they to attempt to get into arms. Every Tory
is a coward, for servile, slavish, self-interested fear is the foundation of Toryism; and man under such influence, though he may be cruel,
never can be brave.
But before the line of irrecoverable separation be drawn between us, let us reason the matter together: Your conduct is an invitation to the
enemy, yet not one in a thousand of you has heart enough to join him. Howe is as much decelved by you as the American cause is injured by
you. He expects you will all take up arms, and flock to his standard with muskets on your shoulders, Your opinions are of no use to him, unless
you support him personally; for 'tis soldiers, and not Tories, that he wants.
Quitting this class of men, I turn with the warm ardor
of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out:
I call not upon few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have
too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but
hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that
thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works,"
that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The ar and the
near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his
children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. love the man
that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but ne
whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

Why is Senator Margaret Chase Smith addressing the U.S. Senate? To whom are the remarks delivered? Cite textual evidence to support your
answer
The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.
Answer:
As the title states, the remarks on this speech are delivered to the Senate and are meant to highlight the lack of action against Senator Joseph McCarthy (1908-1957) and his campaign of persecution and defamation against suspected communists.
Senator Margaret Chase Smith´s speech called all Senators to reject McCarthy´s tactics and honor their responsibility to do right by the American people.
Explanation:
The question refers to “Remarks to the Senate in Support of a Declaration of Conscience,” Senator Margaret Chase Smith´s “Declaration of Conscience” speech from the Senate floor, delivered on June 1st, 1950.
To compel her peers, she offers her perspective on the matter:
"As a United States Senator, I am not proud of the way in which the Senate has been made a publicity platform for irresponsible sensationalism. I am not proud of the reckless abandon in which unproved charges have been hurled from this side of the aisle."
She also warns that American people are "afraid to speak" and claims that no one should "be in danger of losing his reputation or livelihood merely because he happens to know someone who holds unpopular beliefs."

Specifically, it DOES OR DOES NOT commit the fallacy of equivocation, and it DOES OR DOES NOT commit the fallacy of amphiboly.
Answer:
Passage A commits a fallacy but does not commit a fallacy of equivocation or amphiboly.
Passage B commits a fallacy and specifically commits a fallacy of equivocation.
Passage C commits a fallacy but does not commit a fallacy of equivocation or amphiboly.
Passage D does not commit a fallacy
Passage E commits a fallacy and specifically commits a fallacy of amphiboly.
Explanation:
A fallacy is an argument that isn't sound because it has a faulty logic. There are many different types of fallacies. The fallacies dealt in our example here: fallacy of equivocation and fallacy of amphiboly both deal with fallacies stemming from ambiguity of words or sentences such that they can mean so many things at the same time. While fallacy of equivocation deals with fallacies resulting from ambiguity caused by use of a word that could mean so many things, fallacy of amphiboly deals with fallacies from ambiguity of phrases and sentences.

Analyze the sentence to determine whether it contains a dangling construction or is written correctly. While driving to school, the front tire blew out.
Answer:
This sentence has a dangling construction.
Explanation:
A dangling modifier in a sentence is a word or phrase that is supposed to modify another word. A dangling modifier is one that does not refer to anything in specific, which makes it ambiguous. Let's take a look at the sentence:
"While driving to school, the front tire blew out."
The modifier is "while driving to school". Because of its position, it may initially sound as if the front tire was driving to school. We know that to be impossible, and that this modifier refers to a person who was driving. However, that person is not mentioned in the sentence, and that is precisely the problem here. The modifier is not referring to the word it should. One possible way to correct this dangling construction is to add the person who was performing the action to the sentence:
- While I was driving to school, the front tire blew out.

In this passage from “the black cat “ by Edgar Allan Poe, what the reader can infer about the narrator from the businesslike tone of this passage
Answer:
B. That he is without morals and possibly insane.
Explanation:
Edgar Allen Poe's short story "The Black Cat" is about an unnamed narrator and his act of killing his cat as well as unintentionally murdering his wife. The story then ends with the discovery of the murder after his new cat was left inside the same wall block that the man used to hide his wife's body.
In the given passage, the narrator uses more of a business-like tone rather than a distraught man whose wife had just died. when he refers to the murder as a task, declaring "I knew that I could not remove it from the house, either by day or by night, without the risk of being observed by the neighbors. Many projects entered my mind" shows how he views the gruesome act as more like a task he must conceal rather than the loss of a human being, that too, his own wife.
Thus, the tone of the passage shows how he is without any morals and may possibly be insane.

OC. by examining a text's word choice and details and the effect they have on the audience.
Explanation:
The tone in a text refers to the attitude, the emotion or the mood of the narration. In other words, we can say the tone is the use of certain words that the readers can sense to feel what the author feels or wants to convey.
One way a reader can identify the tone of a text is by examining the choice of words used by an author. Added to the word choices, the details of the narrative, the effect they have on the audience all help in determining and identifying the tone of the text.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Types of themes of The doll’s house Katherine mansfieldd
Answer:
One of the themes in this short story centers around the idea that every person ultimately craves inclusion.
The Kelvey girls are excluded from the social circles at school because of their poverty. They are "always by themselves," and the other girls ridicule them about their prospects of becoming servants when they grow up. They endure the mocking jeers of Lena, who drags one foot behind her, giggling behind her hand, as she attempts to engage Lil Kelvey in demeaning conversation. And every other girl gets invited to see the glorious doll house except the Kelvey girls.
They don't beg for an invitation like the other girls because they are used to rejection and exclusion. Yet when a chance opportunity presents itself, they follow Kezia "like two little stray cats" to share in the same experience that the other girls have enjoyed.
Even after being chased off the property by Aunt Beryl, the Kelvey girls look "dreamily" across the land in front of them, still focused on the "little lamp" in...
