Which qualities show effectiveness at work? In a last few weeks, Steve has stopped (coordinating, chatting, discussing) with his coworkers during work. He takes short lunch breaks and is (focused, distracted, asleep) while working.
Answer:
chatting
focused
Explanation:
As the question is asking for efectiveness the most effective way to optimize your time at work is keeping the chatting and hanging out with your coworkers at a minimum possible, taking short lunch breaks and being focused while working are examples of being effective at work.
Steve's change in behavior to have less interaction with coworkers and take shorter breaks suggests a focus on work, but good coworker relationships are essential for optimal focus. Distractions are common in the workplace, making sustained focus a valuable trait for effective work.
Qualities that show effectiveness at work include having strong relationships with coworkers to aid in the ability to focus, as well as being able to operate without constant interruptions. In the scenario presented, Steve has stopped coordinating with his coworkers and takes short lunch breaks, implying an intent to stay focused on his tasks. However, if we consider the fact that healthy coworker relationships facilitate focus, Steve's lack of interaction could be counterproductive. Furthermore, González & Gloria's (2004) field study highlights that the average manager can expect only 3 minutes of uninterrupted work before being distracted, exemplifying how challenging it can be to maintain focus with frequent interruptions.
A focused work environment can also depend on how well a supervisor resolves conflicts that might disrupt work-life balance. Nonetheless, individuals who exhibit the ability to work well under pressure and maintain focus for extended periods demonstrate qualities of effectiveness, despite the realities of frequent workplace interruptions.

excerpt from Autobiography of Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak, or Black Hawk by Black Hawk
It begins in this paragraph:
"I was born at the Sac village, on Rock river, in the year 1767, and am now in my 67th year. My great grandfather, Nanamakee, or Thunder, according to the tradition given me by my father, Pyesa, was born in the vicinity of Montreal, Canada, where the Great Spirit first placed the Sac nation, and inspired him with a belief that, at the end of four years he should see a white man, who would be to him a father. Consequently he blacked his face, and eat but once a day, just as the sun was going down, for three years, and continued dreaming, throughout all this time whenever he slept. When the Great Spirit again appeared to him, and told him that, at the end of one year more, he should meet his father, and directed him to start seven days before its expiration, and take with him his two brothers, Namah, or Sturgeon, and Paukahummawa, or Sunfish, and travel in a direction to the left of sun-rising. After pursuing this course for five days, he sent out his two brothers to listen if they could hear a noise, and if so, to fasten some grass to the end of a pole, erect it, pointing in the direction of the sound, and then return to him.
Please read through on the separate website!
And ends with this paragraph:
“You have all witnessed the power that has been given me by the Great Spirit, in making that fire, and all that I now ask is that these, my two chiefs, may never let it go out. That they may preserve peace among you and administer to the wants of the needy. And should an enemy invade our country, I will then, and not until then, assume command, and go forth with my band of brave warriors and endeavor to chastise them.”
At the conclusion of this speech every voice cried out for Nanamakee. All were satisfied when they found that the Great Spirit had done what they had suspected was the work of Nanamakee, he being a very shrewd young man.
How does the structure of the text develop the author's ideas?
By contrasting his grand-grandfather's encounter with the Great Spirit with his encounter with a white man, the author emphasizes the differences between those experiences.
By stating a claim and giving examples, the author shows how the belief in the Great Spirit led to his great-grandfather becoming chief.
By using flashbacks, the author shows how an encounter with a white man led to his great-grandfather becoming chief.
By using a narrative, the author shows how the Great Spirit influenced his ancestors' actions.
I kept on debating whether is was C or D! But it is D.
To sum it all up, I thought C was the answer because all if these things are true: By using flashbacks (first paragraph) the author shows how an encounter with a white man (also first paragraph BUT it was the GREAT SPIRIT that lead him to becoming chief because he told him about the white man) led to his great-grandfather becoming chief (third paragraph)
It's not A because the author isn't contrasting anything. Its not B because the author isn't stating a claim and giving examples, he is actually using flashbacks (supports option C)
It's D because everything about this option is true, By using a narrative, the author shows how the Great Spirit influenced his ancestors' actions (NOT THE WHITE MAN IT WAS THE SPIRIT THAT LEAD HIM TO THE WHITE MAN AND THEN LATER BECAME CHIEF)
So not C its D :P This question really got me.
The structure of the text actually develops the author's ideas in the following way: By using a narrative, the author shows how the Great Spirit influenced his ancestors' actions.
What is text structure?Text structures is known as the way writers/authors organize their information in a text. Text structure, if properly recognised will help students to focus on key concepts. It helps them anticipate what is ahead.
We can see that using narrative, the author shows how the Great Spirit influenced his ancestors' actions.

excerpt from "Lead" by National Institute of Environmental Health Services
What is lead?
Lead is a naturally occurring metal found deep within the ground. It occurs in small amounts in ore, along with other elements such as silver, zinc or copper. Even though it's found in small amounts, there is an abundant supply of lead throughout the earth. Because it is widespread, easy to extract and easy to work with, lead has been used in a wide variety of products including:
Paint
Ceramics
Pipes
Solders
Gasoline
Batteries
Cosmetics
Where is lead found now?
Lead can still be found in lead-based paint used in older homes, contaminated soil, household dust, drinking water pumped through leaded pipes, lead crystal, lead-glazed pottery, airplane fuel, some toys, and some inexpensive metal jewelry. Until 1978, lead paint was commonly used on the interior and exterior of homes. Deteriorated lead paint in older housing remains the most common source of lead exposure for children in the United States.
How does lead get into the body?
Lead can get into your body in two ways — through breathing it in or by eating it. For example, lead can enter the body through eating or inhaling paint dust or chips. The soil around your home can pick up lead from sources such as exterior paint. Lead can also enter your drinking water through your plumbing.
How much lead is harmful?
No amount of lead is safe. Eliminating all lead exposure in our environment is our best course of action.
What are the effects of lead in children?
Exposure to lead can have a wide range of effects on a child’s development and behavior. Blood lead levels less than 10 micrograms per deciliter (μg/dL) are associated with increased behavioral effects, delayed puberty, and decreases in hearing, cognitive performance, and postnatal growth or height. Some of these health effects are found even at low blood lead levels less than 5 μg/dL, including lower IQ scores, decreased academic achievement, and increases in both behavioral problems and attention-related behaviors. There is a wide range of lead-associated behavioral effects in the area of attention. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one example on the more severe end of the spectrum.
What are the health effects of lead in adults?
Lead exposure has been linked to a number of health effects in adults. As a general rule, the more lead you have in your body, the more likely it is you’ll have health problems. High blood lead levels greater than 15 μg/dL are associated with cardiovascular effects, nerve disorders, decreased kidney function, and fertility problems....
Blood lead levels below10 μg/dL are associated with decreased kidney function and increases in blood pressure, hypertension, and incidence of essential tremor, a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system whose most recognizable feature is a tremor of the arms or hands during voluntary movements, such as eating and writing. There is also evidence showing that adults who have low levels of exposure to lead less than 5 μg/dL may have decreased kidney function. Pregnant women need to be particularly careful around lead. Maternal blood lead levels less than 5 μg/dL are associated with reduced fetal growth. Because the effects of lead are different for everyone, more research needs to be done to fully understand the health effects.
A 2004 study, supported by NIEHS, also showed that lifetime lead exposure may increase the risk of developing cataracts, a clouding of the eye lens resulting in partial loss of vision, which can be common in older people.
Most adults with elevated blood lead levels are exposed to lead at work. Those in occupations related to mining, ironwork or welding, construction, renovation and remodeling activities, smelters, firing ranges, the manufacture and disposal of car batteries, automobile radiator repair, metal shop work, and the manufacture of pottery or stained glass are particularly at risk for lead exposure.
Which sentence from the article best supports the idea that lead is a widespread problem?
A) "Even though it's found in small amounts, there is an abundant supply of lead throughout the earth."
I chose this (A)
B) "Eliminating all lead exposure in our environment is our best course of action."
C) "Exposure to lead can have a wide range of effects on a child's development and behavior."
D) "Most adults with elevated blood lead levels are exposed to lead at work."
I chose answer A, but I'm starting to think it might actually be D
Answer:
it could possibly be C
Explanation:
Since our new generation consists mostly of children (which assuming if children get sick the adults will as well) it could slowly decrease our children population, possibly creating a butterfly effect where we don't have enough children so when the older generation dies off due to the lack of a strong immune system, as will some adults of that generation will have a higher risk of death as will the children. Therefore, there wont be enough people to populate the next generation. And possibly causing humans to become extinct . I'm not quite sure, but this seems like the best bet.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
With their victory, the people of Saint Domingue announced that the conflict between freedom and property was over: "All men are equal" meant that no men are property. This idea terrified the English—and not merely because their sugar island of Jamaica was just over a hundred miles across the water from Saint Domingue. Indeed, slaves in Jamaica were beginning to sing a new song while they worked:
One, two, tree,
All de same;
Black, white, brown,
All de same;
All de same.
One, two, tree,
All de same!
That chant did more than threaten a slave revolt—it was a challenge to all ranking hierarchies. Jamaica had already seen many slave revolts, and the reverend John Lindsay was certain that the talk of freedom and liberty in North America had inspired the slaves: "At our tables (where . . . every Person has his own waiting man behind him) we have I am afraid been too careless of Expressions, especially when the topic of American rebellion has been . . . brandished with strains of Virtuous Heroism.” But the slaves did not need to overhear their masters to learn about the ideas of equality. Black sailors working ships running all through the islands were carrying the word. And if this spirit of liberty got out of hand, that could be really dangerous. After all, in England itself only 3 percent of the population had the right to vote. If this expanded idea of freedom spread, how safe were the kings and dukes, earls and knights, of England? Starting in fall 1793, British troops began arriving in Saint Domingue to reenslave people and return them to their sugar plantations. As Henry Dundas, the British secretary of war, put it, their goal was to "prevent a circulation in the British Colonies of the wild and pernicious Doctrines of Liberty and Equality.”
How do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim? Select two options.
They use a secondary source to show that the British secretary of war opposed involuntary servitude.
They use a primary source to show that a song was spreading the idea of equality across the Caribbean.
They use a secondary source to show that the idea of an enslaved people’s revolt was groundbreaking.

Read the excerpts from "The Royal House of Thebes" and "The Story of a Warrior Queen."
"We are women," she told her sister. "We must obey. We have no strength to defy the State." "Choose your own part," Antigone said. "I go to bury the brother I love." "You are not strong enough," Ismene cried. "Why, then when my strength fails," Antigone answered, "I will give up." She left her sister; Ismene dared not follow her.
—"The Royal House of Thebes"
Again and again the Romans were defeated, till it almost seemed as if the Britons really would succeed in driving them out of the country. Boadicea herself led the soldiers, encouraging them with her brave words. "It is better to die with honor than to live in slavery," she said. "I am a woman, but I would rather die than yield. Will you follow me, men?" and of course the men followed her gladly.

In "The Story of a Warrior Queen" Boadicea encourages her soldiers to keep fighting and never surrender.
The archetypes presented in these two passages are different because the first passage shows Antigone as a rebel, and the second passage shows Boadicea as a warrior. The correct option is C.
In the opening chapter, Antigone establishes herself as a rebel by choosing to bury her brother in defiance of the State's demands.
The second chapter presents Boadicea as a warrior queen who commands her troops into combat against the Romans, exemplifying her warrior archetype.

Hawthorne was troubled by the sordid background of his great-great-grandfather, John Hathorne, who presided over the Salem witch trials.
How did Nathaniel Hawthorne's ancestors influence the scarlet letter?Hawthorne's Puritan upbringing affected his perspective on Puritans and informed The Scarlet Letter's setting. His love of reading classic literature had an impact on the way he wrote. He was inspired to describe the powerful and lovely image of Hester in The Scarlet Letter by memories of his mother and his youth.
Since the early 1600s, Nathaniel Hawthorne's family had called Salem, Massachusetts home. One of their ancestors was a magistrate who, in vehemently upholding Puritanism, gave a Quaker woman the death penalty. Another served as the Salem witch trials' judge.
He struggled to find a way to balance his firm faith in God and his forefathers' unavoidable place in his family's history with his darker ancestors' acts, which they committed in the name of Puritanism. He was split. Hawthorne supported the idea of the human being.

The stage was set, the speakers were on, and members of the first band of our new concert series were psyched to perform. As soon as they started playing their first song, that football field became a dance floor hopping with action. However, the fun didn't last long because those red and blue lights began to flash, and soon the dance floor was quiet. "We had a noise complaint from a neighbor," a police officer explained. The police, as usual, were as friendly as could be, but, because of the complaint, we had to turn down the volume. Things never recovered after that, and soon the crowd shrank to a pathetic cluster.
The future of the concert series is currently unknown. Once again, neighbors can pat themselves on the back for helping to ruin a perfectly good program. Rather than having fun at the school football field with the support of school security, we might have to go elsewhere. Do community members really think that is a good idea? More than likely, all they are concerned with is their selfish desire for pure silence and 8:00 P.M. bedtimes. As students, we don't complain when our neighbors wake up at the crack of dawn on Saturday to cut down their trees with chain saws. If they choose to use chain saws on their property, they have the right, and we completely respect that right. But apparently these same neighbors do not respect our right to have fun on school property.
The uncertain future of the concert series is a shame. Our school has a lot of talented musicians, and the waiting list to play is three pages long. Now, rather than having the chance to play before a crowd, students might have to put down their guitars and stop singing. Do we have to play the harp to win our neighbors' approval? Everyone knows that older people prefer to listen to soft, classical music, not popular music like rock or rap. These are the types of music we choose to play to entertain others; if the neighbors cannot stand our music, they should plug their ears.
Answer:
The line below uses the logical fallacy of ad hominem.
"More than likely, all they are concerned with is their selfish desire for pure silence and 8:00 P.M. bedtimes."
Explanation:
Remember, ad hominem fallacy is a direct attack on someone. The writer of this passage is directly attacking their neighbors by saying that they are selfish and only care about their schedule and have little regard for the schedule of the students. The writer was obviously quite annoyed by this as he or she pointed out that this isn't the first time the neighbors have ruined their fun.

Based on your reading of “Ulysses” which heroic trait did the Greeks most likely value the most?
A: physical prowess
B: mental cunning
C: spiritual dependence
D: independence
The correct answer is B: mental cunning.
In Homer's "Odyssey," the character of Odysseus (Ulysses in Roman mythology) is often portrayed as a hero who relies heavily on his mental cunning and intelligence to overcome the various challenges he faces on his journey home from Troy. His ability to devise clever plans, such as the ruse of the Trojan Horse, and his wit in outsmarting opponents like the Cyclops Polyphemus, demonstrate the high value that the Greeks placed on mental acuity and strategic thinking.
While physical prowess (A) is also a valued trait in Greek heroes, as seen in the strength and combat skills of Achilles and Heracles, it is the mental aspect of Odysseus' heroism that is most consistently highlighted throughout his epic journey. Spiritual dependence (C) is not typically emphasized as a heroic trait in Greek mythology, which tends to focus on the autonomy and self-sufficiency of its heroes. Independence (D) is certainly a trait of Greek heroes, but it is the use of mental cunning that is most distinctive of Ulysses' character and most celebrated in the tales of his adventures.
Therefore, based on the portrayal of Ulysses in Greek literature, mental cunning is the heroic trait that the Greeks most likely valued the most.

What is the allusion in the passage? A. Steger Expedition B. Amelia Earhart C. Ernst Shackleton
The Expedition
A crowd of well wishers greeted Ann
Bancroft when she returned home from her
historic expedition across Antarctica. Bancroft
and Liv Arneson are the first women to traverse
the ice-covered continent.
It took the two women three months to travel
2,400 miles (3,840 km); the journey across
Antarctica began on November 14th, 2000, and
ended on February 19th, 2001. They reached
McMurdo Station, a U.S. military base, just in
time to board a ship that would take them home.
Some people call Bancroft a modern day
Amelia Earhart. In 1986, she joined the Steger
North Pole Expedition and became the first
woman to reach the North Pole over land. In
1993 she led a team of women on a 67-day
expedition to the South Pole.
Bancroft said that her journey was inspired
by the tale of Sir Ernst Shackleton, the explorer
who survived two years in Antarctica after his
ship sank. Before returning home, Bancroft and
Arneson visited the Shackleton huts.
"Some people call Bancroft a modern day Amelia Earhart."
An allusion is a figure of speech that references a place, person, novel character, or event.
In this example we can see that the allusion is a person, and that person is Amelia Earhart. Your answer is going to be option B.
