Robert’s speech is due the next day and he knows that he will not have time to finish it. He goes on-line and copies and pastes an entire speech he found on-line and turns that speech into his professor. Robert claims that it is his work. What type of plagiarism is this?

He has not used quotations or any attribution, so this sort of plagarism is known as direct. Robert has taken someone else's words an ideas as if these were his own. This is acdemically wrong and unethical.
A special form of rolling friction is called its
Answer: TRACTION
Explanation:
Read the passage and answer the question.
[1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the
tree yuccas.Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that
triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The
yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old
[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is
slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even
the moonlight fearful. But it isn't always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while
yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of
sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their
[10] own delectation.
In the last sentence of the passage, the author uses the word "flower" to describe a stage in the yucca tree's growth. Which word has a similar denotation to "flower" but would create a more awe-filled tone?
a) develop
b) flourish
c) mature
d) unfold
First, we need to understand the word being used in the sentence.
Before the yucca has come to (flower), while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage.
From what we can tell by the use of flower in this sentence, we can tell that the yucca is blooming. Another word for blooming or flower is flourish, which means to grow. This word creates a more awe-filled tone.
Answer is B) Flourish.
Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past life? A,B, OR C
A-"But if that is so," he said to himself, "and I am leaving this life with the consciousness that I have lost all that was given me and it is impossible to rectify it—what then?"
He lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way.-
B-He was given a large dose of opium and became unconscious, but at noon his sufferings began again.-
C-When the priest came and heard his confession, Ivan Ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. -
Answer:
Explanation:
B and C might be true if we knew more about when they were said, and what the consequences of saying them where.
A is the answer you have to focus on. He is looking at the past events of his life and realizes that all that he knows from his past will be lost. That gives a real startling moment. And, he says, there is nothing he can do about it.
So like a movie, his life passes before him and he sees it quite differently than he did before, but he does not interrupt his vision.
Trust me on this. It is a very common event.

16. brothers-in-law's
Explanation:
Irregular plural nouns like men, sheep and teeth take 's possessive case. However, it is unnecessary to add 's to regular plural nouns that end in -s; so nouns like airplanes and companies can just take the apostrophe ' form when forming plural possessive case.

B. “The Lamb” urges meek acceptance, while “The Tyger” glorifies nature and power.
C. “The Lamb” urges childlike faith, while “The Tyger” glorifies man’s experience.
“The Lamb” and “The Tyger” represent opposite sides of human existence in such a way as “The Lamb” urges passive control, while “The Tyger” glorifies dominance of man over nature.
Answer: A

Through this, he shows many aspects of a single soul.
He praises God and shows his audience that the same God who can make a serene and calm animal like the lamb is also capable of making the ferocious and powerful tiger.
“The Lamb” urges meek acceptance, while “The Tyger” glorifies nature and power.

It is often the case that two different persons, not necessarily coming from different social classes, get married. They may have different tastes ; different views of the world ; or different interests . Yet, they get married.

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True
A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High
[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.
[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."
[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.
[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).
[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.
[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.
When a narrator uses the pronoun “I,” we know the point of view is ___________. Question 18 options: 1) First person 2) Second Person 3) Third person

Explanation:
I have good dispositions; my life had been hitherto
harmless, and, in some degree, beneficial; but a fatal
prejudice clouds (people's) eyes, and where they ought to
see a feeling and kind friend, they behold only a detestable
monster (176-177).
Which theme is best conveyed by this quote?
A. People who hurt often hurt other people.
B. Misery loves company.
C. A word spoken in hate can injure more than the sword.
D. Outward appearances can be deceiving.
Answer: The theme that is best conveyed by this quote is D. Outward appearances can be deceiving.
Explanation: The quote provided was taken from Chapter 15 from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Moreover, the words provided are pronounced by the monster in the book. In that way, the theme that the quote conveys is that outward appearances can be deceiving, that is to say that the way in which a person looks is not related to the way in which a person is, behaves or thinks, even though some people think they are related. In the case of the monster, most people despise him because of his appearance; however, no one gets to realize that his appearance does not really define who he is.
Final answer:
The quote emphasizes that despite one's true nature, people can be wrongfully judged based on surface-level perceptions, illustrating the theme that outward appearances can be deceiving.
Explanation:
The theme best conveyed by the quote “I have good dispositions; my life had been hitherto harmless, and, in some degree, beneficial; but a fatal prejudice clouds (people's) eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold only a detestable monster” is D. Outward appearances can be deceiving. This quote reflects the idea that despite one's positive characteristics and intentions, they can be misjudged based on superficial prejudices or misconceptions. The individual speaks of having harmless dispositions and being beneficial in some way, yet others see them as a monster. This misperception points to the importance of looking beyond appearances to understand one's true nature.
This chapter’s “Appreciating Diversity” account describes how McDonalds was able to succeed in the Brazilian market once it adapted to preexisting Brazilian cultural patterns. This example illustrates the axiom of applied anthropology that A. innovation succeeds best when it is culturally appropriate applies only in the USA.. B. applied anthropology is in danger of turning itself into a tool of capitalist interest, which always disregard the culture and well-being of the consumer. C. innovation succeeds best when it is culturally appropriate applies not just to development projects but also businesses, such as fast food. D. applied anthropology has the capacity to help foreign markets adapt to a marketing strategy that must, above all costs, maintain the integrity of its brand. E. Brazilians’ dislike foreign goods, because they disregard their tastes.
Answer: C. Innovation succeeds best when it is culturally appropriate, applies not just to development projects but also businesses, such as fast food.
Explanation: The example in the chapter "Appreciating Diversity" illustrates the axiom of applied anthropology that innovation succeeds best when it is culturally appropriate applies not just to development projects but also businesses, such as fast food. Each time McDonald's expands to a new country it has to create a culturally appropriate strategy to fit in the new market. Fitting is more profitable than to Americanize tastes. To give an example Brazilian's have a lot of fruit juice during their daily routine, so McDonald offers fresh fruit juice from tropical Brazilian fruits. Applied Anthropology is the use of anthropology's methods and theories to solve contemporary problems regarding human behavior.
Which phrase from the poem "When You Are Old" leads the reader to infer that the subject was admired for her beauty by many, but only truly loved by him?
A. "old and grey"
B. "a little sadly"
C. "their shadows deep"
D. "with love false or true"
Answer:
I'd say D, "with love false or true".
The phrase 'But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face' from 'When You Are Old' suggests that although many admired the woman's beauty, only one man cherished her true self and her emotional depths.
The phrase from the poem "When You Are Old" that leads the reader to infer that the subject was admired for her beauty by many, but only truly loved by him is: "But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face". This line clearly contrasts the many admirers of the woman's external beauty with the singular, deeper love for her inner self — her "pilgrim soul" and the emotional depth represented by "the sorrows of your changing face".
QUESTION 5 The poet protests against child labor and condemns the harm done to children exploited in this practice. Yet in lines 23-24, the child narrator writes that “Tho' the morning was cold, Tom was happy and warm / So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.” This is an ironic expression of the narrator’s __________.
Final answer:
The irony in the line from the poem lies in the false reassurance that doing one's duty will prevent harm, contrasting with the harsh realities of child labor where such moral balances are evidently absent.
Explanation:
The narrator's ironic expression of “Tho' the morning was cold, Tom was happy and warm / So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm” highlights the disconnect between the ideal that everyone doing their duty leads to no harm, and the harsh reality of child labor where children are exploited and harmed regardless of their or others' actions. This statement is ironic because, in the context of harmful child labor practices, doing one's duty does not ensure safety or happiness. The child's belief in this ideal is a poignant reflection of their innocence and the propaganda that justified child labor during the period.

Gangsters' warnings to migrants not to go to the police are ruthlessly enforced. Julio César Cancino Gálvez, with Grupo Beta Sur, recalls how a group of about thirty migrants at the Tapachula train station asked him why the authorities weren't clamping down on the gangsters. Cancino told them they needed witnesses. He urged the migrants to step forward and report abuses. One nineteen-year-old Honduran in the crowd spoke up. He described his assailant in detail. Hours later, the Red Cross asked Cancino if he could help an injured migrant. It was the same Honduran teenager. His right ribs were broken. His entire chest and face were badly bruised. He spoke slowly, in a whisper, clasping his chest. Two gangsters had overheard his description and kicked him mercilessly. "Next time, we kill you," the gangsters told him.

He reflects on death and mortality, and discusses the fate of people who have passed away. One of the topics Gray reflects on is the fact that many people were not able to achieve their potential, reach fame or be valued in any way due to their poverty. This reduced their opportunities, and made it impossible for them to reach their full potential.

Terrestrial planets are mainly composed of ________ while Jovian planets are made dominantly of ________. a. rock and metals; volatiles b. refractory materials; volatiles and metals c. volatiles and metals; refractory materials d. volatiles; rock and metals
The Terrestrial Planets are those that are closest to the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Among its main characteristics is the fact that they have a metallic core and a silicate mantle that surrounds them. In addition, they have rocks, craters, mountains, valleys and volcanoes on its surface.
on the other hand, Jovian Planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) are classified as "gas and ice giants", because they are mainly composed of gas and volatile materials. For example, Uranus and Neptune have higher concentrations of methane (hence its bluish color) and some heavier elements such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, while, Jupiter and Saturn have a mixture of hydrogen that gives off a red aspect.
Therefore:
Terrestrial planets are mainly composed of rock and metals while Jovian planets are made dominantly of volatiles.Which of the following is true of face-to-face communication?

This question is based on the following passage. Except for a few pigeons, Central Park was deserted. Mist hung above the chilled grass. Patches of old snow, scattered here and there, looked like white puddles. The sun hung just above the horizon, casting red and orange streaks across low-hanging clouds. The portly, gray-haired gentleman jogging down the path looked out of place. For one thing, he was dressed in ordinary street clothes, not a sweat suit. Also, every few seconds, he looked anxiously back over his shoulder. Coming closer to me, I saw that his face was flushed. He was panting, almost gasping. Abruptly, looking this way and that, he moved behind a tree. Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting heavily. After a moment, he poked his head out to survey the path. It was still empty, except for a squirrel that dashed across the path like a furry dart. I checked my watch. It was now 7:30. Mentally marking the time, I aimed my camera toward the man's face. 3. In this paragraph, at what time of day is the action taking place? A. Around sunrise B. Around midnight C. Around sunset D.

Choose an event from the play. Focus on the purpose it serves in the story. Consider how the story would change if that event was altered. Form your ideas into a paragraph of at least five sentences. Make sure to include supporting evidence from the play.The weird sisters' predictions for Macbeth and BanquoMacbeth's murder of BanquoThe appearance of Banquo's ghost at Macbeth's coronation dinner
Answer:
Macbeth is a tragic play that was written by William Shakespeare and which was first presented to the public in 1606. This story narrates the life and events of Macbeth and his wife, who, spurred into limitless ambition due to the prophecies given to Macbeth on the part of three witches, take actions that later on come to make them regret what they have done; kill the king, murder friends, murder enemies in cold blood, and rule a kingdom that was not theirs, with a tyrannical hand. Their actions come to pay them back in the end.
Probably one of the most vital events of the play, is the first time that the Weird Sisters, also known as the Three Witches, meet with Macbeth. On that first ocassion, they meet with both Macbeth and Baquo, just as they have been successful in the campaign of their current King, Duncan. The sisters tell each of the men what will happen to them in the future, and although reticent at first, things come to happen as were told, and Macbeth believes. He then acts, also pushed by his wife, as it appears in Act I, and II, to kill the king and assume the throne. If this event had changed, if the Sisters had not accurately told Macbeth that he was going to be named Thane of Cawdor, thus giving credit to their prediction that he would become king of Scotland, then Macbeth would have never gotten himself involved in so much corruption and decadence. Neither would he have pulled his own wife into that funnel of limitless greed that caused their ends. Another thing that would have changed is that the prediction for Banquo would have not come to pass. Because of Macbeth´s memory of what the Sisters told his friend, he is forced to have his friend murdered, and this, in turn, releases a series of events that make all the prophecies be fulfilled: Macbeth gets the throne, but he suffers from the guilt, he loses himself, and in the end, he loses his life and Banquo´s descendants take over the throne.
The ghost of Banquo at Macbeth's dinner symbolizes Macbeth's guilt and sets a critical turning point in the play's exploration of power and the supernatural.
Explanation:The appearance of Banquo's ghost at Macbeth's coronation dinner is a pivotal event in Shakespeare's play that serves as a haunting reminder of Macbeth's guilt and the consequences of his ambitious actions. If this event were altered, the entire trajectory of the play would shift. Without the appearance of the ghost, Macbeth might not experience the same level of paranoia and fear, possibly altering his subsequent decisions and thus, the play's outcome. The dinner scene works as a turning point, highlighting the extent of Macbeth's unraveling and hinting at his inevitable downfall. It underscores the play's exploration of themes such as guilt, power, and the supernatural.
