Hi. You forgot to say that this question is about "Students dup** by fake news and biased sources."
According to the article, students are being "dup**" by fake news and websites that are biased or provide false information. According to this article, these pages and the fake news they promote present themselves in a very convincing way, on secure platforms such as social media, which are constantly used by students. This causes students to reproduce false and misleading information, even in their academic lives, which can greatly harm them and help them to develop unsubstantiated and incorrect opinions and ideas.
think of an essay that argues that cats are better pets than dogs. what might be one supporting Point used in the essay
In an essay that argues cats are better than dogs, the author might go into detail about how cats are easier to take care of considering they are proven to quickly learn how to use litterboxes and keep that trait their entire life once learned and managed.
brainliest please))
Answer:
One supporting point for cats being better would possibly be that dogs howl and bark at night when you try to sleep. One supporting point for dogs being better would possibly be that cats like to knock things over.
Explanation:
The way that each side of the argument had something negative to say about the other is what you call a smear campaign. A smear campaign is a plan to discredit a public figure by making false or dubious accusations. Having this in mind think back to the supporting points I gave to you beforehand.
How does Holden react to Sunny's visit. Why do you think he reacts this way?
he has mixed feelings toward Sunny. She is very young and seems to be almost as nervous as he is. I think he react in this way because he's nervous about it.
The writer is considering deleting the underlined portion of sentence 8 (reproduced below), adjusting the punctuation as needed.
For instance, people became so attached to the Sony Aibo, a robotic dog with playful expressions and movements, that they mourned their mechanical pets after Sony discontinued the Aibo series and closed its repair center.
Should the writer keep or delete the underlined text?
A. Keep it, because it addresses information that is essential to the audience’s understanding of the history of Sony’s robotics division.
B. Keep it, because it advances the writer’s purpose of showing the appeal the Aibo had to its owners.
C. Keep it, because it provides the audience with an example of the Aibo’s resemblance to human beings.
D. Delete it, because it introduces details about robot pets that are not relevant to the writer’s main idea in the paragraph.
E. Delete it, because it contradicts a claim the writer makes earlier in the passage about advancements in robotic engineering.
Answer:
B. Keep it, because it advances the writer’s purpose of showing the appeal the Aibo had to its owners.
Explanation:
Answer B
Correct. The underlined text is a parenthetical element that advances the writer’s purpose of explaining the appeal of robots that look like animals. The description of the Sony Aibo as a “playful” robotic dog illustrates why owners felt attached to it.

Explanation:
Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon." How shall I tell what I saw? There was no smell of man left, on stone or metal. Nor were there many trees in that wilderness of stone. There are many pigeons, nesting and dropping in the towers—the gods must have loved them, or, perhaps, they used them for sacrifices. There are wild cats that roam the god-roads, green-eyed, unafraid of man. At night they wail like demons but they are not demons. The wild dogs are more dangerous, for they hunt in a pack, but them I did not meet till later. Everywhere there are the carved stones, carved with magical numbers or words. How do details such as "stone or metal," "many pigeons," "towers," and "wild cats that roam the god-roads" help establish setting?
This question is missing the answer choices. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
How do details such as "stone or metal,” "many pigeons,” "towers,” and "wild cats that roam the god-roads” help establish setting?
A. They create a feeling of a small mythical kingdom.
B. They build an atmosphere of a preindustrial society.
C. They give the sense that nature has taken over a once-urban area.
D. They develop the feeling of an ancient village of a polytheistic culture.
Answer:
Details such as "stone or metal,” "many pigeons,” "towers,” and "wild cats that roam the god-roads” help establish setting because:
C. They give the sense that nature has taken over a once-urban area.
Explanation:
The narrator in the short story "By the Waters of Babylon," by Vincent Benét, lives in a futuristic setting where humankind seems to have almost destroyed itself due to the harmful use of technology and weapons. John, the narrator, is a priest who enters what once was New York city, a forbidden place. The humans that exist now are afraid of metal, seeing it as cursed, and of cities, where they think gods once lived.
In the passage we are analyzing here, details such as "stone or metal,” "many pigeons,” "towers,” and "wild cats that roam the god-roads” help show readers that the city is now a wild place. Nature has taken over, reclaimed what was initially hers. Man is gone - his legacy is left behind as stones, concrete, metal, and roads. However, all of that is now inhabited by feral animals.
ANSWER: It is in fact C. They give the sense that nature has taken over a once-urban area.

Read the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry."
For me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. To learn to read is to start down the
road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from
reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. There are those who think they
know best what we should read. These censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.
Which best describes the rhetoric used in this excerpt to increase the reader's awareness of censorship?
factual evidence is used to appeal to the reader's sense of logic
a strong opinion is presented to appeal to the reader's sense of justice
o an emotional anecdote is related to appeal to the reader's sympathy
the author's love of reading is referenced to appeal to his character
Answer:
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.
The best description of the rhetoric used in this excerpt to increase the reader's awareness of censorship is a strong opinion is presented to appeal to the reader's sense of justice.

how does conflict help us see character growth? Explain in five sentences.
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.

What is the question? I'm a bit confused.
Explanation:
Change direct questions into indirect questions using the polite expression "Can you tell me". Mude as perguntas diretas em indiretas usando a expressão "Can you tell me" When is the party? * Is she a teacher? * Where does John live? * Who are those guests? * Are they working hard today? * Is your father at work now? What do you do on weekends? * Why is your brother so angry? * Do you like to watch series? * Does your mother have a job? * Sua resposta Enviar
Answer:
1. Can you tell me when the party is?
2. Can you tell me if she is a teacher?
3. Can you tell me where John lives?
4. Can you tell me who those guests are?
5. Can you tell me if they are working hard today?
6. Can you tell me if your father is at work now?
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?

Read the stanza from “Eldorado.” And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow– “Shadow,” said he, “Where can it be– This land of Eldorado?” What rhyme scheme does this stanza use?
ABCABC
AACBBC
AABCCB
AABCCD
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.

How do I find a counterclaim of a speech
Can someone define counterclaim in *easy* words please LOL
Answer:
A counterclaim in simple terms means making a point to "counter" a previous claim.
For example, if you say to someone, "Apples are the best type of fruit", this is a claim.
If the person replies, "No, bananas are the best", that is a counterclaim.
It is a response to a claim.
Therefore, you can find a counterclaim in a speech by first identifying the claim in the speech and looking out for any statement or claim that tries to counter that claim.
write a narrative essay having an ending we arrived safely at last
Answer:
Everyone was preparing for the journey.
It was a hectic day at work. But given that all my relatives work at the same office- The Monsoon Inc.- it was a big relief.
The monsoon ministers were going to each individual and giving them instructions of where they had to begin and end their journey.
My parents and I were thankfully given the same starting and ending point.
It might sound funny, but our office was an impromptu one. It was never in the same place. Sometimes it's on a huge cloud, sometimes it's on a small one. Sometimes it's near the sun and sometimes it's near the rainbow.
Anyway, we were all ready to go on our journey now.
My father went first. My mother, next.
It was my turn now. I was petrified. It was my first ever journey as a rain drop.
“Go ahead now! You're going to be fine.” The Monsoon minister consoled me.
I took my first step outside the cloud. And down I went.
It was hard to open my eyes at first. But then when I did, I could see no one I knew around me.
There were stranger drops on leaves, some were falling right beside me, some fell on buildings, some went right on the ground.
Terrified, I looked down on the ground I was about to fall on.
There they were! My parents.
Ater reaching the ground I let out a sigh of relief. At last, we arrived safely
