Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Which line from the text best explains why the author suggests we start carrying video cameras?

You may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable
The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add
With individual memories all jumbled up with each other
The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed

a strong opinion is presented to appeal to the reader's sense of justice

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.", the narrator described the joys and advantages of reading as they give enlightenment and that everyone should be encouraged to read because it is the first step to success.

He however decries the attempt to censor what people are able to read by some people who feel they know what is best for others.

Answer:

A conflict is described as a clash or disagreement between two opposing groups or individuals. It primarily aims to develop tension and advance the story forward. Any such disagreement prevents the character from accomplishing their desires and this makes them take an uncalled action in order to fulfill that desire. The unexpected action leads to disastrous consequences and when the conflict is resolved towards the end of the story, the character not only learns adaptation towards difficult situations and a lesson from his/her mistakes but also grows and evolves as an individual to make better decisions in the future and resolve problems on their own.

7. Can you tell me what you do on weekends?

8. Can you tell me why your brother is so angry?

9. Can you tell me if you like to watch series?

10. Can you tell me if your mother has a job?

Explanation:

In English, indirect questions are used to make an inquiry more polite. The most common questions added to the original one are "Can you tell me" and "Do you know".

If the original, direct question has a question word such as "who", "what", "where", or "when", among others, all we have to do is change the original question so that it becomes a statement. Take a look at the example below:

- What did you eat? → eliminate the auxiliary "did" and use "eat" in the past → Can you tell me what you ate?

If the original question does not begin with a question word, we must either eliminate the auxiliary verb and conjugate the main verb, whenever possible, or simply change the auxiliary verb's place. We must also add "if":

- Is she your friend? → Can you tell me if she is your friend?

- Did she call you? → Can you tell me if she called you?

Answer:

AABCCD

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's poem "Eldorado" talks of a knight who journeys through "sunshine ... and shadow", looking for the lost paradise city of Eldorado. The poem is a similar theme of looking for the lost city and how it has caught the interest of many explorers.

The rhymes scheme of a poem refers to the way the words are used in each line of a poem. In the given lines taken from the third stanza of the poem, the rhyme scheme is AABCCD.

Considering the lines of the poem,

And, as his strength (A)

Failed him at length, (A)

He met a pilgrim shadow— (B)

‘Shadow,’ said he, (C)

‘Where can it be— (C)

This land of Eldorado?’ (D)

the end word in the first line is "strength", with the same rhyme as "length". So, if we put "A" as the symbol for the first rhyming words, then "shadow" can be put as "B" and "he" and "be" of the third and fourth lines can be written as C. Likewise, "Eldorado" is put as "D".

Thus, the sequence comes as AABCCD.

If you look at the reasons Tom Robinson suspected Maybella's father of beating her, that should help. Have a look at Tom's story of what happened and all the evidence from his side, including Maybella having bruises on the right side of her face, and her father being left handed, and no medical help was called for even though she was covered in bruises.

I hope this helps a little :)
