British and American stories are more popular because most people are unwilling to read something different, like the works of African writers. D. British and American stories discuss a greater variety of experiences, while African stories are limited.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. British and American stories are more readily available across the world, while African writers and their stories are less accessible in other countries.

Explanation:

In "The Danger of a Single Story," by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, she recounted how as a little girl she read British and American stories that talked about things she could not readily identify with such as the snow, the eating of apples, and discussions of the weather. She attributed the reason for her not reading African books to the fact that they were not readily accessible compared to their American and British counterparts that could be readily found anywhere.

The discovery of African writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye helped Adichie to recognize that it was possible to write about things that were relatable to her and she began to write them.

For best effects, spray pesticide on plant leaves, flowers, and around the garden bed. Which way to rewrite this sentence would best correct its parallelism errors?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In order for the sentence to not have parallelism errors it needs to have all three of the options the same. They all need to be nouns, gerunds, phrases, etc. The main thing is that they all share this similarity. Therefore with the sentence in the question the best way to get rid of these errors would be rewriting it to the following sentence.

Answers

Answer:

C. Change "were enough" to "was enough."

Read the following paragraph from the passage "Why We Buy What We Buy." Twitchell says we have so many products and so much advertising, they actually have helped shape the way we live. For instance, we have a two-day weekend in part because the Industrial Revolution produced so many products that people needed more time for shopping. And so workers got Saturday off. Says Twitchell: "It's become shopping day at the mall." How does the paragraph help contribute to the overall idea that the need to sell products has affected daily life in America? A: It tells how advertising has encouraged people to spend more than they save. B: It explains that companies do most of their advertising on weekends when families are together to shop. C: It explains how the work week was shortened to give people more time to shop.D: It suggests that the need to sell more products led to the development of malls where people now socialize.

Answers

Answer:

C: it explains how the week was shortened to give people more time to shop.

The paragraph helps contribute to the idea of selling goods affected daily life in America:

C). It explains how the workweek...shortened...shop.

Daily life in America

The passage displays that the requirement of selling goods has caused a major and negative impact on the regular life of Americans.

This is demonstrated through the shortening of the working week and marking Saturday as the non-working day so that people receive adequate time to shop from the plenty of options available there.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Do you feel as though you have a fully developed sense of identity? If not, how do you think you will develop your identity over time? What are some positive aspects of having a strong identity? Are there any negative effects of having a strong identity?

Answers

Answer:

I feel like identities and the self never stops changing, that we will always change whether from age to the slang we use. A positive aspect of a strong identity is that you feel empowered and ready to be yourself, but a downfall is you could easily grow egotistical and snarky to others.

I believe my identity is in its “blueprint stage” where I, as a teenager am starting to get into things I like (Kpop, Fashion, Designing, etc.) and fit into where I belong. I came from a terrible school to a good one so that, I believe, is making my identity switch from what I once knew to something new which has naturally been influenced by my peers, and also I have Depression & Anxiety, along with ADHD, which influences me to develop coping habits and makes me more patient and stronger, Therefore that makes my once impatient & fragile traits easier to deal with.

Do you think people's expectations and treatment of Harrison and his eventual actions could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy? Why or why not?

Answers

I have found this question online. It refers to the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut.

Answer and Explanation:

Yes, I believe people's expectations and treatment of Harrison and his eventual actions could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A self-fulfilling prophecy is a result of the Pygmalion effect theory, which claims we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. When we begin to believe what others think of us to be the truth, we change our behavior in accordance to it. We end up fulfilling the prophecies others have made about us, that is, we confirm their expectations.

That is what Harrison, the main character, does. In the story, the American government has decided to promote equality in a most absurd manner. People who are considered beautiful or intelligent, for instance, are forced to wear handicaps so that others will not feel inferior. Harrison is only 14 years old, and he is forced to wear loads of handicaps, not only to make him less handsome and strong, but also to make him less intelligent. For that reason, Harrison begins to see himself as truly superior to others. What the government does to him leads him to believe he is special, and that the world deserves to see that.

Harrison escapes from jail, appears before cameras, removes his own handicaps, and dances with a ballerina. Both are shot dead by a government official. If Harrison were truly superior in intelligence, he would most likely not have done that, since he knew he would be breaking the law and the outcome was quite obvious. It was because he was treated as intelligent, not because he was truly intelligent, that Harrison did what he did and was killed for it.

Part B

Read this excerpt from the article.

There's a relationship between low self-esteem and negative portrayals of racial groups. There's also an association between poor self-esteem and the lack of portrayals of a particular group. Others have found that media misrepresentations of ethnic groups can cause confusion about aspects of their identity among children of these groups.

Does the excerpt provide evidence that effectively supports the claim identified in Part A? (part A was posted on my account already :))


A-Yes, because it explains how a lack of diversity in media can have negative emotional effects on children.

B-Yes, because it describes the positive effects of diversity in movies on children.

C-No, because it fails to provide examples of media misrepresentation.

D-No, because it only describes the correlation between media representations and children, rather than all populations.

What is a phrase?

A phrase is a group of words that does not have both a subject and a verb, and it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It functions as a part of a sentence, and it may serve as a noun, adjective, adverb, or preposition. In the example "Walking down the street," "walking" is a participle (a verb form that functions as an adjective), and "down the street" is a prepositional phrase. Together, they form a participial phrase, which functions as an adjective modifying a noun or pronoun in the sentence.

Hence, the type of word group is the following: a phrase that is in option A.
