Read the sentence from the passage.
He cannot stop with merely thinking a thing is so and so; he must know it; for this is one of the "exact" sciences.
How does the word "exact" affect the meaning of the sentence?
It shows that the narrator has a mistrust of science.
It suggests that the sentence should be taken literally.
It hints that the narrator's words are meant ironically.
It places emphasis on the precise nature of the science.
Answer:
I'm going to say C.
Explanation:
This person cannot simply think a thing is so and so - he must KNOW it, which I assume means he would test it out for himself. The entire sentence indicates his mistrust of science. However, if we are just talking about the word "exact", it is in quotations and doesn't make sense with the rest of the sentence (if taken serious) so I think it is meant to be taken ironically.
Who is the Prince, according to Machiavelli?
a) His readers
b) Speakers of the House
c) Ruler of the land
d) The lowly peasant
Answer:
The Ruler of the land
Explanation:
Final answer:
The Prince is c) Ruler of the land, as defined by Machiavelli in his seminal work. This handbook was written for rulers to understand the complex nature of power and governance.
Explanation:
The Prince, according to Niccolò Machiavelli, is a guide for rulers on how to obtain and maintain political power. Machiavelli, often regarded as the father of modern political science, wrote this as a handbook with the aim to educate leaders on the pragmatic reality of ruling. The Prince is Ruler of the land, representing the person who holds the highest authority in a state or a territory. This work explores the complexities of human nature, power dynamics, and the oftentimes morally ambiguous decisions rulers must make.
Machiavelli's work has sparked debate among scholars regarding its true intent, with some suggesting that it could be interpreted as subtly critical of the very rulers it offers advice to. However, throughout The Prince, Machiavelli consistently refers to tactics that can either solidify a ruler's power or, if used wisely, could also ensure the goodwill of the people. Therefore, the book remains essential reading for understanding political strategy and the use of power.
Please help me to find the figurative language in this lyric below
This is gonna hurt
But I blame myself first
'Cause I ignored the truth
Drunk off that love
It fu**ed my head up
There's no forgetting you
You've awoken me
But you're choking me
I was so obsessed
Gave you all of me
And now honestly
I've got nothing left
I loved you dangerously
More than the air that I breathe
Knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
Didn't care if the explosion ruined me
Baby, I loved you dangerously
I loved you dangerously
Usually I hold
The power with both
My hands tied behind my back
Look at how things changed
'Cause now you're the train
And I'm tied to the track
You've awoken me
But you're choking me
I was so obsessed
Gave you all of me
And now honestly
I've got nothing left
'Cause I loved you dangerously
More than the air that I breathe
Knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
Didn't care if the explosion ruined me
Baby, I loved you dangerously
You took me down, down, down, down
And kissed my lips with goodbye
I see it now, now, now, now
It was a matter of time
You know I know
There's only one place this could lead
But you are the fire
I'm gasoline
I love you, I love you, I love you
I loved you dangerously
More than the air that I breathe
Oh now, knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
Didn't care if the explosion ruined me
Oh, oh, baby, I loved you dangerously

C. Hyperlinks are a kind of labyrinth
D. Hyperlinks connect web pages
Answer: B and C
Explanation:

3. Brad likes jogging, playing tennis, and to go on hikes
4. The mayoral candidate is intelligent, compassionate, and we can trust her.
Answer:
Penelope would rather visit a new restaurant than go to an old favorite.
Explanation:
1. In this sentence, the word "going" has been baldy used, and the correct word that should be used to make the sentence correct is "go".
2. Nick knows how to plan low to take notes, and using a variety of sources. The comma has been used incorrectly.
3. Brad likes jogging, playing tennis, and to going on hikes. The word go is not in the correct form based on the sentence, therefore going is the proper form
4. The mayoral candidate is intelligent, compassionate, and trustworthy.
Final answer:
To create parallel structure in sentences, elements such as verbs, nouns, and phrases should be grammatically consistent. The corrected sentences now feature a uniform grammatical form, enhancing clarity and readability.

The Social Security Administration has messed up again.

next 20 years.
Which of the following is true of the report?
A. It is unreliable.
O
B. It is objective.
O
C. It is biased.
O
D. It is speculative.
Answer:
The question shows bias when it says, "The Social Security Administration has messed up again," and "slapped with ridiculous cuts in benefits," and "bad enough already."
Your answer is:
C. It is Biased.
Final answer:
The report is biased due to its negative and subjective language concerning projected cuts to Social Security benefits, despite being grounded in concerns about demographic trends affecting the system.
Explanation:
The report stating that the next generation of seniors will face a 15% reduction in Social Security benefits over the next 20 years contains language that suggests a predisposition towards a negative outcome, making it biased. Terms like "slapped with ridiculous cuts" imply a subjective stance, and while the concern about Social Security benefits might be based on demographic trends and financial forecasts, the tone of the report does not reflect an objective analysis. While the possibility of benefit reductions is a real concern due to the increasing dependency ratio, any such changes would likely result from a complex interplay of demographic shifts, policy decisions, and the political influence of retirees.

Why is having a positive attitude important to changing habits?
Final answer:
A positive attitude influences the likelihood to engage in and maintain behavior changes, predicts behaviors such as recycling, and is linked to happiness and resilience. Positive thinking improves outcomes and coping mechanisms, which is essential when working towards habit change.
Explanation:
Having a positive attitude is crucial when it comes to changing habits because it directly influences our likelihood to engage in and maintain behavior changes. A positive mindset fosters higher self-efficacy, meaning when individuals believe they can achieve their goals, such as when they engage in positive self-talk or find joy in their changes. Additionally, people who focus on the positives in life and interpret events optimistically tend to be happier and more resilient, which can lead to the formation of healthier habits.
Our attitudes often predict our behaviors. For instance, if you have a positive attitude towards recycling, you're more likely to experience positive feelings and thoughts about the activity, which then translates into the behavior of recycling frequently. This indicates how attitudes, especially positive ones, are reflected in our actions.
Moreover, the concept of the 'power of positive thinking' asserts that those who are optimistic about their future and believe they have control over their outcomes tend to be healthier and more fulfilled. This positive thinking is not only beneficial emotionally but also can result in more effective coping mechanisms in the face of adversity. Changing one's environment to make it easier to practice good habits is another practical step towards positive habit formation.

What incentive do people have to settle near a river?
People have several reasons to settle near a river, including access to fresh water, transportation routes for trading goods, and fertile land due to seasonal flooding.
Explanation:People have several reasons to settle near a river. One reason is access to fresh water for drinking and irrigation. Rivers also provide transportation routes for heavy cargo, making it easier to trade goods. Additionally, rivers contribute to the fertility of the surrounding land, as seasonal flooding deposits nutrients in the soil. These factors, along with the lure of better opportunities and resources in urban areas, incentivize people to settle near rivers.
Final answer:
People settle near rivers for access to fresh water, transportation, strategic trade points, fertile land for agriculture, and the need to manage hydraulic systems to control flooding. These advantages have historically influenced patterns of urbanization and agriculture.
Explanation:
People have various incentives to settle near a river, some of which are as follows:
Fresh water access for drinking and irrigation is a fundamental necessity for survival and agriculture.
Navigable rivers serve as efficient transportation routes for cargo, fostering trade and commerce. This was particularly important before modern transport technologies when rivers were the main arteries for moving goods.
River barriers create break-of-bulk points where goods are transferred from ships to land transport, leading to the development of cities at these strategic locations.
The need for hydrological systems management, such as levees and canals, to protect against flooding can lead to the development of governance and large-scale settlements. This was evident in ancient civilizations, such as those in Mesopotamia.
Soils are often more fertile near rivers, which benefit agriculture through nutrient deposition and irrigation potential.
In conclusion, rivers offer essential resources and strategic advantages that have historically drawn people to settle near their banks, influencing urban growth, agriculture, and trade patterns.
