In “The Open Boat” four men are stranded in a small dinghy in the middle of the ocean, their ship had been previously destroyed. Crane added to the scene by mentioning how the men can die at any moment. Out of the four men, the oiler and the correspondent have to row nonstop in order to survive and the cook has to scoop water out of the boat. Crane also made it clear the dinghy was filling with water rapidly with the consistent waves and the paddles the dinghy had were unreliable. These features of the story add onto the mention of how the men can die at any moment throughout the story. The main point of the short story is that at the mercy of nature, people are no match. They can try to overpower nature but will not succeed.

From the following quote, decide whether the statement is more progressive or traditional. There is no 'essence' of literature whatsoever . . . any writing may be read 'poetically'. If I pore over the railway timetable not to discover a train connection but to stimulate in myself general reflections on the speed and complexity of modern existence, then I might be said to be reading it as literature. (Terry Eagleton) traditional progressive
Answer:
Progressive
Explanation:
This is a clearly progressive statement because it departs significantly from traditional notions, i.e., conceptions established at a previous time that persist historically through repetition, in this case, about what makes a piece of writing count as literature. The author rejects the traditional and broadly accepted idea that there is an intrinsic essence to literary texts that differentiate them from non-literary texts.

b.) Keitel argues that artificial sweeteners are safe, and Blackwell asserts they are not.
c.) Although both authors carefully document their sources and present ample evidence to support their claims, the statistics and expert testimony that Keitel cites is ultimately more convincing.
d.) Blackwell’s reliance on personal stories and dated reports makes his argument less convincing than Keitel’s.
Answer:
Keitel argues that artificial sweeteners are safe, and Blackwell asserts they are not.
Explanation:
Final answer:
The inappropriate thesis for an essay comparing the safety of artificial sweeteners is option (b), as it only states the contrasting opinions without analyzing which one is more convincing.
Explanation:
The thesis that is not appropriate for an essay comparing the safety of artificial sweeteners is (b) Keitel argues that artificial sweeteners are safe, and Blackwell asserts they are not. This thesis statement merely presents the contrasting positions of the authors without providing any analytical element or insight into which argument is more convincing or why it is so. An effective thesis for a comparative essay should offer a clear stance or judgment that can be supported with reasoning and evidence throughout the essay.
Considering the fact that all of the extensive clinical studies completed to date have indicated artificial sweeteners approved for use in the United States are safe for consumption by healthy individuals in moderate amounts, a thesis for a comparative essay must reflect an analysis of these findings, rather than just stating the positions of the authors.

Why was smallpox so deadly to american indians?
Smallpox was deadly to American Indians because they had no immunity to it or other European diseases, leading to catastrophic death tolls. Malnutrition and psychological stress from European disruptions further weakened native populations, contributing to the severity of epidemics.
Explanation:Smallpox was so deadly to American Indians largely because they had no immunity to this and other European diseases. Unlike Europeans who had lived with such diseases for centuries and developed some level of inherited immunity, the indigenous populations encountered these illnesses for the first time following European contact and thus were significantly more vulnerable. Secondary factors exacerbating the mortality rates among Native Americans included malnutrition due to disrupted food supplies, as European livestock damaged crops, as well as the psychological stress and dislocation caused by European conquest, which further weakened native resistance to these diseases.
Additionally, there were instances during westward expansion where pioneers and the army are said to have intentionally spread smallpox through infected blankets. Whether by accident or design, the introduction of smallpox and other diseases to populations without immunity led to catastrophic death tolls. Estimates suggest up to 80 percent of the indigenous population of the Americas perished as a result of these introduced diseases, resulting in a demographic catastrophe worse than the impact of the Black Death in Asia and Europe.

Which character do you think is more powerful- macbeth or lady macbeth. cite evidence?
Lady Macbeth exhibits significant power and influence over Macbeth, driving the plot forward with her ambition and manipulation.
Explanation:Lady Macbeth is portrayed as a powerful character in Shakespeare's play Macbeth. Her ambition and manipulation drive the plot forward, influencing Macbeth's actions and decisions.
One example of Lady Macbeth's power is when she convinces Macbeth to commit regicide by questioning his masculinity and challenging his loyalty to her. She orchestrates Duncan's murder and takes on the role of a strong, commanding figure, willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill their ambitions.
On the other hand, although Macbeth also displays power as a character, it is largely influenced and driven by Lady Macbeth's desires and actions throughout the play.
Which of the following items is not one of the subjects of this story? a. The British educational system b. Social class and snobbery c. The sportsmanlike values of the cricket field d. The cruelty of children
If you refer to the short story “Next Term, We’ll Mash You” by Penelope Lively, I believe that the correct answer is C. The sportsmanlike values of the cricket.
In her short story “Next Term, We’ll Mash you”, Penelope Lively writes about the British educational system (boarding schools), social class and snobbery field, cruelty of children and indifference of parents to their children needs with the high point of the story being Charles's (protagonist) miserable fate at the school. She also writes about these themes in "A House Unlocked” and "Making It Up".
I. Invasion of the Body Snatchers:
Have you noticed a change in the world around you recently? Have you seen how more and more people are walking around with little rectangles in their hands or pockets with long wires plugged straight into their ears? At the grocery store yesterday, I counted at least twenty people completely lost in the music provided by their ever-present cell phones. It’s as if the old science-fiction movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers was coming true; we are being overtaken by pod people. So at the risk of appearing to be a crotchety old man complaining about the “good ole days,” I have to make a stance against the evil influences of the cell phone and ear-bud phenomena on our society.

Which sentence contains an explanation clue for the word inspect?
They asked us to inspect the bag, which meant looking at the stuff inside it.
The officer went to inspect the car, including looking in the trunk and glove box.
Rather than inspect my bag, the guard took a quick look inside and let me pass.
The staff usually asks to inspect, or examine, my purse when I go to concerts.
Answer:
The answer is actually letter A) They asked us to inspect the bag, which meant looking at the stuff inside it.
Explanation:
There are basically 4 types of context clues:
1. definition/explanation clues;
2. restatement/synonym clues;
3. contrast/antonym clues;
4. gist/inference/general knowledge clues.
Explanation clues are the ones that define a word previously mentioned. They come right after the word and truly provide readers with an explanation of its meaning. That is precisely what we have in letter A. Right after the verb "inspect" is mentioned, the author of the sentence explains its meaning: to inspect --> meant looking at the stuff inside it.
Note: letter D is a synonym clue. The author is simply adding another verb that is a synonym, another way (to examine) to say the same thing (to inspect).

This is an example of which effective discussion technique?
A. Active listening
B. Proposing a claim
C. Making sure you're heard
D. Seeking mutual agreement
Answer:
The correct answer is option C. "Making sure you're heard".
Explanation:
One of the bad habits that members of a debate could have is to not listen what the other members are saying because they are focused on his own points of view. The discussion technique "making sure you're heard" tries to avoid that this happens by repeating or paraphrasing one of the claims that other person proposed in the debate. In this example this technique was used as could be noticed by the use of the phrase "So you're saying that...", which implies that the speaker is repeating something that someone else said before.
