Which statement is true about the place of the central idea in actually giving the speech?
A It comes at the very beginning
b It is up to the speaker and the situation where it is put or said.
c It comes after the attention-getting material.
d It is not said to the audience; it is only a guide for the speaker.
Answer:
the answer is C.
Explanation:
You have to grab the audience's attention for them to even pay attention or want to remember. Say an attention-grabbing material piece, then give a sentence that contains the central idea.
The central idea in actually giving the a speech is following the attention-getting material. So, option C is correct.
The central idea in a speech can be placed strategically for emphasis and impact. In some cases, it comes after the attention-getting material to build up to the main point. It is essential to place the central idea where it will have the most significant effect on the audience.
Select the sentence with the passive-voice verb.
a. Michael Lewis wrote a book about the financial crisis.
b. Many new grads begin their job search on LinkedIn.
c. Even with little experience, Andrew applied for the position.
d.The website was redesigned by a team of professionals.
Answer:
The answer is d - The website was redesigned by a team of professionals.
Explanation: This is the only sentence in the options above that has a passive verb. That is, the doer of the action assumes the grammatical position of an object while the object was moved to the subject position. It also makes use of 'by'.
The sentence with the passive-voice verb is:
d. "The website was redesigned by a team of professionals."
In a passive-voice construction, the subject of the sentence receives the action, rather than performing the action. In this case, "The website" is the subject that receives the action ("was redesigned") performed by "a team of professionals." The agent (the team of professionals) is mentioned after the verb, or it can be omitted entirely, and the focus is on the action and its recipient.
The other sentences (a, b, and c) are in active voice, where the subject performs the action of the verb:
a. "Michael Lewis wrote a book about the financial crisis." - Michael Lewis (the subject) performed the action of writing.
b. "Many new grads begin their job search on LinkedIn." - "Many new grads" (the subject) perform the action of beginning their job search.
c. "Even with little experience, Andrew applied for the position." - "Andrew" (the subject) performed the action of applying for the position.

At the end of this passage, King Claudius says, "So much for him." The use of the "him" pronoun is interesting here because it creates a double-meaning in the line. Which two different men might the King be referring to? What does each of the two different readings of the line show us about King Claudius?
Answer: The "him" by King Claudius could have been referring to young Fortinbras or King Hamlet, his brother.
Explanation: If the king was referring to young Fortinbras as most of the court would have presumed, it would be an indication of his confidence in his kingdom's military prowess and would suggest pride and arrogant confidence.
On the other hand, if Claudius was referring to his brother King Hamlet,
it would be heartless of him which would suggest a wickedness in him. One reason to support this is young Hamlet's suspicion of foul play in his father's death as the scene draws to an end

Answer:
True
Positional advantage identifies the necessity and correlation between structure, conduct, and performance. Whereas, special capabilities are important to a company’s profits, but tend to be specific in nature such as patents or innovation. Still, other companies identify competitive advantage by evaluating three specific strategies, which are______________
a. operational excellence
b. product leadership
c. customer intimacy
The correct answer is: true.
Explanation:
According to Ferrel (2011), These three elements provide advantages to corporations even when their competitors have a positional advantage. The reason behind this is that Positional advantage is a concept to call the good balance a company has as a whole. While, other companies can find an advantage against it even when they are not very well balanced if they achieve consumer intimacy, product leadership, and operational excellence because in the end, the interaction between the final sales moment is the most definitive event on a companies cycle.
In the sentence: Please call my supervisor - John Wick - on Friday.
Is an em dash used or an en dash used?
Answer:
An em dash is used.
Explanation:
I know this because Hyphens are usually used for separating numbers in a phone number or connect two words, here is an example; light - hearted. I know it isn't an en dash because they are used as a substitute for the word "through", and I don't think they are trying to say "Supervisor "through" John Wick "through" on Friday." so it can't be that one either. That only leaves the em dash which is used for this purpose since it's used to break in thought, in between sentences. I know you weren't asking anything about hyphens but I wanted to state something about those too for a better understanding. Hope this helps!

Levi was terrified of leaving his parents' farm and striking out on his own, but the longer he stayed, the more obvious it became that he was going to have to cut the cord, and soon. What are the best possible meanings of the euphemism "cut the cord"?
a. start mowing the fields.
b. harvest the crops.
c. stop depending on parents.
d. learn more about farming.
e. leave the farm.
The phrase 'cut the cord' means to stop depending on parents and to leave the farm, representing Levi's need for independence and the broader historical shift from farming to urban opportunities.
The best possible meanings of the euphemism "cut the cord" in the context of the student's question are:
c. stop depending on parentse. leave the farmGiven that Levi was terrified of leaving his parents' farm, the phrase suggests he needs to gain independence and venture into new experiences away from the security of his family's farm. This concept resonates with the historical shift where children of farmers moved to towns and cities for education and opportunities, which often diverged from agricultural traditions. The euphemism "cut the cord" typically signifies the important step of leaving behind dependence on one's parents or a familiar way of life, in order to grow and establish one's own identity and path in life.
What generalization of life is most evident in these lines from the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner? . . . motherhood was invented by someone who had to have a word for it because the ones that had the children didn’t care whether there was a word for it or not. A. the failure of language to convey the truth of experience B. failure as a parent becoming the cause of unbearable remorse C. women's dislike for labels that limit their freedom to choose D. motherhood outweighing all other considerations in a woman's mind
Answer:
I believe the safest choice is letter A. the failure of language to convey the truth of experience.
Explanation:
We might be, at first, tempted to choose letter C concerning labels imposed by men that restrict a woman's life. After all, there is much of feminism in Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying"'s narrator, Addie Bundren. However, the passage we are analyzing here and the context which surrounds it show that Addie's indeed discussing the inadequacy of words to describe experiences.
She sees language as something invented, something built with the purpose of explaining an experience, a feeling. However, she does not think words are effective. Motherhood is only a word, a group of letters and sounds that tries to summarize what the experience of being a mother is. But the experience in itself is much fuller, much richer than the idea that word can ever convey. The same happens to other words, feelings, experiences. As Addie says, "That was when I learned that words are no good; that words don’t ever fit even what they are trying to say at. When he was born I knew that motherhood was invented by someone who had to have a word for it because the ones that had the children didn’t care whether there was a word for it or not. I knew that fear was invented by someone that had never had fear; pride, who never had the pride."
I believe it is safe, then, to choose letter A. the failure of language to convey the truth of experience.
When Dawn wants something, she yells out to her mother from the other side of the house, rather than going to where her mother is. Her mother usually goes to Dawn and gives her what she requested. One day, Dawn’s mother stops responding to Dawn when she yells from the other side of the house. Dawn then yells louder and longer, but after several days, Dawn no longer yells out to her mother from the other side of the house. Two weeks later, the behavior was back; Dawn again yelled out to her mother from another room. However, the mother does not respond.Dawns mother is using:1. Satiation2. Response cost3. Extinction4. Punishment
Answer: The answer is option B, response cost. Response cost is the removal of reinforcement for a particular undesired behavior or habit. It is sometimes identified as a firm if negative punishment.
Explanation: The undesirable behavior here is Dawn's habit of screaming to her Mom. And having had enough of it, her mom decides to nip the situation in the bud by not answering (which is the response cost) so that Dawn would seize to continue with the habit.
Why, according to Winston, did tragedy now belong to an "ancient time," no longer being possible in the present?
Answer:
According to Winston, the main character in 1984, tragedy now belongs to an "ancient time" and is no longer possible because 1984's society is no longer capable of feeling any emotion as a consequence of the Big Brother's actions.
That ancient time, before the Big Brother, George Orwell explained was "a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.”
Among other things, Big Brother burnt all the books so that people have no more access to the emotions conveyed through books, like the emotions Winston is capable of feeling as a consequence of reading books written by Shakespeare.
Tragedy belongs to an ancient time according to Winston because the oppressive regime of the Party in '1984' has taken away the freedom and depth of experience necessary for true tragedy.
According to Winston in George Orwell's novel 1984, tragedy belongs to an "ancient time" because the present regime has eliminated the conditions necessary for traditional tragedy. In Winston's view, modern society under constant surveillance and manipulation by the Party lacks both the freedom and the depth of personal experience that make true tragedy possible. Tragedy, as understood in the literary sense, involves a profound struggle against unavoidable fate and a recognition of human suffering, which the Party's total control and suppression of individual thought and emotion have eradicated.
Read this excerpt from a book that describes clothing in medieval Europe. Nobles, including lords and ladies, often were dressed in rich-colored clothing, sometimes even with golden thread. Dyeing clothes was very expensive at the time; therefore, only the wealthy could afford to have clothing made with vibrant colors. Peasants wore un-dyed clothes in browns and grays mostly for two reasons: they were inexpensive, and because peasants worked the land, dirt was less predominant and the clothes were easier to clean. On the basis of this excerpt, what can a reader conclude about noble women and peasant women?
A. Peasant women had no interest in fine clothing.
B. It was easy to distinguish between noble and peasant women at a glance.
C. Noble women were concerned only with their wealth and status.
D. It was unlikely that a peasant woman could ever become a noble woman.
Answer:

B. In the final scene, Markus turns away and fails to see the peril that will ultimately cause his demise.
C. Martha's lawsuit was useful to punish the corporation for failing to pay its taxes over an eight year period.
D. As Roland ventures into his new life, he discovers the best time to begin ranching is immediately.
Answer: C. Martha's lawsuit was useful to punish the corporation for failing to pay its taxes over an eight year period.
Explanation:
In this sentence we can recognize infinitive direct-object phrase - to pay.
They can be found if we can ask a question ''what'' and in this case we are asking ''Martha's lawsuit was useful to punish what'' and then we are getting the answer which is ''to punish corporation for...'' In those kind of sentences when we are looking for the object of the verb, we must try to recognize if the infinitive phrase that we have(to punish in this case, and to pay) is making sense.
In this sentence we are having a direct object.
How are big words created?
Answer:
By conjoining 2 smaller words into one larger word.
Explanation:
What are the tense and voice of the italicized verb in the following sentence? Your sister had gone when we arrived. past passive past active past perfect active
Answer:
Past perfect tense.
Explanation:
Supposing that the italicized verb is had gone, then the tense is past perfect tense.
This past perfect tense is an action that has happened sometime in the past but before something new has happened. In the sentence, the word "gone" is the third form of the verb, thus making it a past tense. Then, the use of the word "had" which is the past tense form of the verb "to have" shows it is the "perfect" form of the verb.
Thus, the whole sentence "Your sister had gone when we arrived." is in the "past perfect tense".

°To my dismay, my car had a flat; I desperately needed to find another way to go.
°Dev declared the meeting adjourned; and we began squabbling.
°That video game is awesome; yesterday I went ice-skating.
°Because we repaired the antenna; our reception improved.
Answer:
its correct in
°To my dismay, my car had a flat; I desperately needed to find another way to go.
The correct use of a semicolon is found in the sentence 'To my dismay, my car had a flat; I desperately needed to find another way to go.' Semicolons join two related independent clauses or an independent clause followed by a clause starting with a conjunctive adverb.
The semicolon is correctly used in the sentence: 'To my dismay, my car had a flat; I desperately needed to find another way to go.' This sentence has two closely related independent clauses, and the semicolon is used to join them effectively without a conjunction. The other sentences either use the semicolon where it is not called for, use it alongside a coordinating conjunction which is incorrect, or do not connect closely related ideas.
A semicolon should be used to separate two independent clauses that are closely related and not joined by a conjunction. For instance, 'The storm caused severe damage; many people were left homeless.' You may also use a semicolon to join two independent clauses with a conjunctive adverb, for example, 'The torrential rain continued all night; however, our basement did not flood.'
It is important to note that a semicolon should not be used when the clauses are not closely related or when a conjunctive adverb such as 'because' is acting as a subordinating conjunction, as in the last example provided.

What is a difference between poetry and prose? APoetry is usually meant to be read silently; prose is meant to be read aloud. Incorrect answer BPoetry is more concerned with the sound and rhythm of words. Incorrect answer CProse pieces are longer than poems. Incorrect answer DProse pieces contain more facts; poems contain more feelings. Incorrect answer 1 of 10
Answer: Prose has sentences that are arranged in paragraphs; in contrast, poetry is freer-flowing and arranged into stanzas. The information presented in prose tends to be more pragmatic than in poetry. In prose form, the sentences are in paragraphs and follow each other, one after the other. The first word of each sentence is capitalized. In contrast, there is less form and less punctuation in poetry. Poetry is also organized into stanzas. The form of poetry often relies on enjambment, which is went lines must be read after one another. Poetry divides into shorter lines, instead of into multiple paragraphs which is seen in prose.
Explanation:
The primary difference between poetry and prose lies in their use of language; poetry concentrates on the sound and rhythm of words with literary devices like meter and rhyme, whereas prose is written in natural language aimed at conveying ideas directly without structured patterns found in poetry.
The question asks about the difference between poetry and prose. A key difference between them is that poetry is more concerned with the sound and rhythm of words. Poetry often utilizes literary devices such as meter, rhyme, and alliteration to enhance its musical quality and emotional effect. For example, a poem might have a specific rhythmic pattern or a rhyme scheme that creates a melody or emphasizes certain emotions or themes. On the other hand, prose is written in natural language and more closely resembles everyday speech. It focuses on constructing sentences and paragraphs to convey ideas, tell stories, or present arguments without the structured patterns of rhyme or rhythm found in poetry. Novels, essays, and articles are common forms of prose.
Therefore, the fundamental difference lies in how language is used in each form to express ideas, emotions, or narratives. While prose is typically straightforward in its approach to language, poetry deliberately plays with sound, meter, and imagery to create a particular aesthetic or emotional response.
