Read Gunther's evaluation of an argument. In his editorial "Better Safe Than Sorry?: Revisiting the Debate over Capital Punishment," Nemo Jones effectively lays out his argument that the death penalty should be abolished. In his thorough examination of the evidence, he presents authoritative case studies of people whose innocence was proven too late and of criminals who were undeterred by thoughts of capital punishment. He examines comprehensive statistics regarding these groups and summarizes years of interviews with officials in government, law enforcement, and the penal system. His final paragraphs contain the most emotionally persuasive evidence, as he relates the lasting effects on the children of those who have been put to death. Which element is missing from this evaluation?
Answer:
D). A Concluding Statement.
Explanation:
As per the question, the given evaluation misses a 'concluding statement' that prevents a closure in the evaluation. A concluding statement is quite essential as it not only functions to bind the argument together and add cohesiveness to it. Since Gunther misses the concluding statement, the readers are unable to receive a 'sum up' of the evaluation along with the judgment and concluding remarks of the author which not only reiterates the key ideas together but also brings a closure. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
The answer is D) a concluding statement

In "the yellow wallpaper" what does the narrators changing perception of the wallpaper help the reader understand abt the character?
Answer:
her slow conversion into madness
Explanation:
as the narrator gets more and more mad, her descriptions take on more violent role, showing her mental state.
Final answer:
The changing perception of the wallpaper in “The Yellow Wallpaper” symbolizes the narrator's mental deterioration and critiques women's oppression, illustrating how enforced idleness and lack of creative expression lead to her breakdown.
Explanation:
In “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the narrator's changing perception of the wallpaper reflects her deteriorating mental state and critiques the oppression of women during the late 1800s. Initially, the wallpaper is merely unpleasant to her, but as her isolation and lack of creative outlet persist, she becomes obsessed with its patterns, which she interprets as a symbol of her own entrapment. This obsession with the wallpaper culminates in her hallucination of women creeping behind its patterns, which represents her realization of the oppressive forces at work in her life and her ultimate breakdown. This transformation in her perception helps readers understand the depth of her repression, the impact of enforced idleness on her creativity and mental health, and serves as a broader commentary on the societal norms that constrain women's roles and freedoms.

Elaborate on the point. Class comments Your answer Classmates will see your answer Assigned
Answer and Explanation:
1. We learn about Gatsby's past as James Gatz. Explain his relationship with Dan Cody.
When Gatsby was still a teenager, he met Dan Cody, an old millionaire who came to trust Gatsby more and more over the course of a few years. They met as Dan Cody dangerously sailed in his yatch. Gatsby borrowed a boat and rowed to the yatch to warn Cody about the wind and how perilous his situation was.
Cody hired Gatsby as a type of personal assistant. But, as Gatsby proved himself reliable and ambitious, the old man grew fond of him. He left Gatsby $25,000 when he died, but Cody's woman, using some legal device, prevented Gatsby from ever receiving the money.
2. How do the Sloanes and Tom represent old money vs new money when they are rude to Gatsby? How did you feel during that part of the novel?
The Sloanes and Tom Buchanan appear at Gatsby's mansion one day while horseback riding. They are old money, which means their wealth has been in their families for generations. Gatsby, on the other hand, is new money, meaning there is no fame or tradition behind his wealth.
Their visit shows the open disposition of new money. Gatsby is excited about their visit. He is even more eager upon being invited to dine with the Sloanes. New money is ready to engage, to accept, to invite and be invited. What Gatsby doesn't notice is that old money is ready to despise and to judge. They are there to have a couple of drinks, and that is it. They do not care about Gatsby, since they find him inferior to them. The invitation to dine is not serious, and they all know it, which makes it distastefully surprising when Gatsby accepts it. Simply put, old money will never see new money as their equal.
This part of the novel feels uncomfortable, even irksome. As we read it, we wish Gatsby would know what we know; we wish he would see those people for who they really are and despise them for being shallow snobs. Yet, his eagerness and trust in others makes his character even more likable. Gatsby is not the type of hero we are used to seeing in stories nowadays. It is this mixture of cleverness and innocence that makes him special.
What is a tremendous resource in Asia
Answer:
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Explanation:
Asia extracts an immense wealth of minerals, of which its mineral fuels—coal, petroleum, and natural gas—are of greatest value. The largest Asian coal producers are China and Russia (Siberia), followed by India, Kazakhstan, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan.
Answer:
Explanation:
The utilization of Asia’s natural resources has depended, to a large extent, not only on the development of technology but also on political circumstances. Thus, until the end of World War II and the beginning of the process of decolonization in Asia, most Asian countries were not free to develop their own natural resources independently and without reference to the economic interest of a colonial power. Cultural attitudes also have affected the utilization of resources. In India cultural taboos prohibit the slaughter of cattle either for food or to conserve resources when the animals are no longer productive.
What do you call an evil on the inside but good on the outside utopia?
Example: The utopia in The Giver
Answer:
The Giver was never a utopia.
Explanation:
In Lois Lowry's The Giver, we are introduced to a community that follows the idea of sameness. The citizens see no colors--literally. It was only until our main character, Jonas, recognized that the color of his friend's hair looked odd. The oddness of her hair was the same as the oddness of an apple.
The idea of Jonas' community was for it to be a utopia where everything is perfect and everyone is happy. There was no pain. No discrimination. No odd deaths. That is a utopia. But, the community was actually a dystopia. It seemed perfect on the outside, but no one experience joy or love or any of the things we do. No one felt or cared for anyone. They were assigned jobs. Jobs that they'd work for the rest of their miserable life. The may have not experienced pain or injustice, but that came at a cost--the memory of society.

Do you agree with Mrs. Hutchinson that it is unfair that her family was selected for the lottery why or why not
Answer: Yes
Explanation: Mrs. Hutchinson was the only person to protest the unfairness of the lottery and she still had to participate in the lottery. People had the tendency to follow traditions blindly without stopping and thinking about the consequences of the tradition and how morally wrong the tradition is.
Mrs. Hutchinson's objection to the lottery selection can be deemed natural due to her selection. However, the method's random nature ensures impartiality, albeit it is witnessed as unfair when personal safety is threatened.
Explanation:The story 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson doesn't provide Mrs. Hutchinson's explicit perspective on the fairness of being selected by the process. However, it interprets that she feels it's unfair due to her remark - 'It isn't fair, it isn't right.' Given the arbitrary nature, lottery selection can seem unfair. However, it's important to acknowledge that this randomness applies to all families, making it theoretically impartial. Mrs. Hutchinson’s protest only begins after her family is selected, indicating a universal acquiescence until personal peril is encountered.

The graders on the AP test are looking for a particular theme.
There is only one theme per poem.
It can be helpful to determine the main idea before tackling theme.
Answer:
You must have background information on the poet to determine the theme.
Explanation:
just got done with that section of school
Final answer:
There is often more than one theme in a poem, and themes are the central, unifying ideas of the story. Determining the main idea is crucial before interpreting the theme, which relies on evidence from the text and not on predetermined expectations or solely the author's background.
Explanation:
In interpreting themes, it's essential to understand that there can be multiple themes within a single poem and that these themes are the unifying ideas behind the story. The process of determining a poem's theme involves identifying the main idea, which can often be found through an examination of recurring language, ideas, or images and how characters change throughout the text.
Figurative language and other literary devices contribute to the theme, but the theme is not solely a product of them. Additionally, while background information on an author can provide context, it is not necessary to determine the theme. The graders on an AP test are looking for well-supported analysis rather than a predetermined theme.
Therefore, it can be helpful to determine the main idea before tackling the theme, which allows you to form a clear thesis and support it with evidence from the text.
When a speaker decides to incorporate immediacy behaviors into a speech, he or she must ensure that _______.a. the speaker sets the tone for immediacy. b. these behaviors do not violate listener’s expectations. c. the speaker incorporates overly dramatic gestures for impact. d. these behaviors surprise and challenge the audience.
Answer:
.a. the speaker sets the tone for immediacy.
Explanation:
Immediacy behaviours are actions that show warmth, inclusiveness, psychological closeness, openness to interactions and positivity. They can be verbal or non verbal.
Therefore, before a speaker decides to add immediacy behaviours in his speech, he must have set the precedent for it. The speaker needs to prepare his listeners before he tries to communicate warmth and psychological closeness, because his listeners may immediately feel suspicious if the speaker jumps into immediacy behaviours without preamble.
A speaker can set the tone for immediacy by preparing his audience with stories that elicit empathy, stories that show the humanity in him and others.
Answer:
C. The speaker incorporates overly dramatic gestures for impact.
Explanation:
Immediacy behaviors is a nonverbal communication that refers to signs, gestures, facial expressions, body language, eye contact and other facial expression that people will understand for swift transfer of knowledge.
Wrong use of immediacy behaviors might be misleading and will impact negatively on the listeners.

how does Venice differ from Belmont
Answer:
In Venice are hatred, religious intolerance, revenge, greed and prejudice. This reflects upon the city as being murderous, dramatic and tense. Whereas Belmont on the other hand is a city of Love, marriage, romance and comedy.
Explanation:
Venice is unique compared to Belmont with its rich blend of Byzantine, Islamic, and Gothic European influences, reflected in its trade, art, and architecture, making it distinct from other Italian Renaissance centers.
Venice differs from Belmont in several significant aspects, with Venice having a unique historical and cultural background. Unlike Florence or Milan, which remembered their Greco-Roman past, Venice was more influenced by its Byzantine history and connections to the eastern traditions. Venice was a robust trading center, blending elements from Byzantine, Islamic, and Gothic European cultures due to its strategic geographic location. This amalgamation of influences is evident in Venice's art and architecture, such as the golden mosaics in the Church of Saint Mark's or the Palazzo Ducale. Venice's distinctiveness is also captured by Petrarch's description of the city as a "mundus alter" or "another world," emphasizing its difference from other Renaissance centers like Rome or Florence.
Evaluate the end of the story when D*ck introduces an element of dramatic irony. Why do you think the narration switches focus to the gun after the characters leave the ruined city? As the gun parts drive toward the broken gun, what mood is created for the reader? How is this ending an example of dramatic irony?
Answer:
The ending of the story allows the events to remain open-ended. The crew leaves the planet hoping to come back, believing that the gun has been destroyed. Only the reader knows that a small army of self-repairing gadgets and an atomic warhead are moving toward the gun. Dramatic irony occurs when the reader has more knowledge about a particular outcome than the characters. So, in “The Gun,” the reader knows that the gun will repair itself, but the characters flying away are unaware of this information. This ending evokes a mood of fear and suspense as the reader realizes that the weapon of destruction will regenerate itself and will most likely strike the crew and others once they return to the planet.
Explanation:
Final answer:
The narration's switch to focusing on the gun creates a mood of anticipation and dramatic irony, indicating the story continuous beyond the visible events. It aligns with the falling action where character growth is emphasized and resonates with the reader, echoing the plot development through its evocative and reflective ending.
Explanation:
The switch in focus to the gun after the characters leave the ruined city introduces an element of dramatic irony, creating a mood of anticipation or tension for the reader. This narrative technique implies that the story continues beyond the current events described, leaving the reader to ponder the eventual outcome.
The parts moving toward the broken gun signify that action and resolution are still in progress, aligning with the concept of falling action where characters come away from the climax of the story changed and possibly wiser. This narrative choice underscores the theme that life goes on past the visible horizon of the story arc, and the atmospheric buildup to the reassembly of the firearm suggests continuance rather than conclusion, in line with the precipice, freeze-frame ending favored by the author.
By focusing on the gun in the end, the reader is invited to reflect on the story's emotional resonance and thematic echoes—the hallmark of a well-crafted plot development. The specifics of the story's divide, including the chapter ending, call attention to unspoken implications and set the stage for the mood created by this ending.
The dramatic irony comes into play as the reader may be aware of the significance of these events while the characters remain oblivious, in contrast with their knowledge or intentions. This technique effectively creates a haunting, reflective, or surprising conclusion that lingers with the reader.
