They also help the environment by refreshing the air and by reducing smog and effects to the ozone layer. B. This means that irrigation for crops is not a problem. C. With a little thought, any city dweller can think of an area of land on which to grow a garden. D. Urban gardeners use these roofs to construct large planters for vegetables, grass, trees, and shrubs.

Answers

Answer:

A. They also help the environment by refreshing the air and by reducing smog and effects to the ozone layer.

Explanation:

The author makes a claim that environment is refreshing by the air and the effects on ozone layer are reduced. This statement is not supported by the evidence. The ozone layer is polluted by the environment pollution. The pollution created by humans is also affecting the air which ultimately pollutes the ozone layer.

The answer would be "This means that irrigation for crops is not a problem." It wasn't that easy, nor did he have proof.

PLEASE HELPP! 30 POINTS What point of view is used in “Was It a Dream?” How would a different point of view change your understanding of the character? In one to two paragraphs, explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The point of veiw in "Was it a Dream?"  is in first person, the main character acts as the narrator, giving the whole thing in direct speech.The story begins with him saying " I loved her madly". If it was in a different point of veiw you would know what is going on all around you not just with one person. You would know someone elses point of veiw on how things happened. You would possibly figure out more information on whats going on.

The understanding would change if there was a different point of veiw by not knowing what the main character now is thinking. We wouldn't even know what is going on with our main character now. We would possibly have more questions on what is going on?

Jack used primarily web sources for his informative speech about gun control. However, his over-reliance on the website sponsored by the National Rifle Association caused his speech to be slanted in one direction, rather than presenting multiple sides of the issue. Which of the six criteria for evaluating web sources did Jack ignore

Answers

Answer:  Objectivity/Bias is the major criterion that he missed.  

Explanation:  Many websites published by organizations will promote that organization's agenda or political viewpoint on the topic. The NRA is not in favor of gun control, and it promotes gun ownership as a 2nd Amendment right.

In order to balance his information and present alternate points of view, he could find sources with the opposite bias, or find statistics from studies done by unbiased sources, such as statistics reported on state or national government sites.

Authority/Credibility is another criterion to check. Can the source be trusted to provide the sources of its information: studies done by other credible, unbiased authors, Can the information be verified by finding similar information on other sites or in reputable publications?

The graph represents recorded temperatures in Greenland from 1961-1990. Analyse the representation and write a paragraph in 150 words .

Answers

Answer:

Greenland is the largest island in the world, and most of it is located above the artic circle. For this reason, Greenland is characterized by a very cold climate. The coastal areas have a tundra climate, while most of the hinterland has an ice cap climate.

We can see in the graph that the average high temperature in the warmest months hovers around 45F, still a very cool temperature.

In the coldest months the daily high is 20F and the average low is 12F, meaning that these months are very cold throughout the day, with very little difference between the coldest moment of the day and the hottest moment of the day.  

The climate is much warmer along the coasts due to the moderating oceanic influence. This is why the totality of the population of the Island lives on the coasts. The rest of the island is an ice cap: the largest of the world behind Antarctica.
