Which of the following limited topics would be appropriate for a short paper?
The history of Rock and Roll in America
Elvis Presley
The influence of Elvis on Rock and Roll

Answers

Answer: The influence of Elvis on Rock and Roll

Explanation: A short paper is a small work in which the author chooses a topic that makes significant contributions. Nevertheless, it must have a maximum of 4 pages of content. To summarize the whole history of Rock and Roll in America or Elvis's life would most likely get out of topic. Therefore, the topic "The influence of Elvis on Rock and Roll" would be the most appropriate for a concise and well done short paper, since it would address both of the other topics in a precise manner.

What can be inferred from the word "poor" in the excerpt?
pitied
patronized
valued
pampered

Answers

Answer:

pitied

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, but it can be inferred that the excerpt discussed a person and an unfortunate incident and someone remarked, "Oh! Poor woman, such a calamity has befallen her".

According to this analysis, it can be inferred that the person that was being described as poor was not poor in material things, but actually was a victim of circumstance that was being pitied.

C.She makes a golden apple inscribed with the words “For the most beautiful”, thus causing Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera to be pitted in competition against each other.
D.She promises Paris he can have the world's most beautiful woman even though she is already married.

Answers

Answer: C.She makes a golden apple inscribed with the words “For the most beautiful”, thus causing Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera to be pitted in competition against each other.

Explanation:

Zeus had given Thetis, the sea nymph as a wife to Peleus and they held a wedding ceremony for them to which they did not invite Eris, the goddess of discord.

She was not pleased and made a golden apple which was inscribe For the most beautiful and threw it into the wedding thereby causing the 3 goddesses Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera to be pitted in competition against each other.

Zeus did not want to get involved and told them to ask a human who was the most beautiful and thus deserving of the apple. The human turned out to be Paris who asked them what they would do for him.

Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman in the world and won the apple. To fulfil her promise she made Helen (the most beautiful woman in the world then) who was already married to Menelaus, fall in love with Paris and then aided their escape to Troy.

Menelaus and his brother then gathered an army and attacked Troy.

Answers

Answer:

Logos(logical appeal)

Explanation:

'Logos'(logical appeal) is one of the three rhetorical devices proposed by Aristotle to persuade readers, the other two are ethos(ethical appeal) and pathos(emotional appeal).

In the given case, Sonia is using 'logos' or the 'logical appeal' as she employs factual mathematical derivations to support her theorem. Since she substantiates her claims reasonably and persuades the audience logically instead of using her character(globally recognized), the rhetorical device is 'logos.'

why Singapore works​

Answers

Answer:

Singapore is the smallest of […] Asia’s four “Little Dragons” […] but in many ways it is the most successful. Singapore is Asia’s dream country. […] Singapore’s success says a great deal about how a country with virtually no natural resources can create economic advantages with influence far beyond its region. […] But it certainly is an example of an extraordinarily successful small country in a big world

(Naisbitt, 1994, pp. 252, 254).

When Singapore was founded by Stamford Raffles in January 1819, it was a small fishing village inhabited by a thousand Malay fishermen and a few Chinese farmers (Turnbull, 1977, p. 5). Its transformation from a small fishing village in the early nineteenth century to a modern and prosperous city-state today is an incredible story of from rags to riches. Singapore’s gross domestic product (GDP) per capita has increased by 56 times from S$1,310 (US$428) in 1960 to S$73,167 (US$52,962) in 2016 (Department of Statistics, 2017, p. 66; 2018). When Singapore was forced to leave the Federation of Malaysia and became independent in August 1965, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew was concerned about Singapore’s survival. In his memoirs, Lee (2000) wrote:

We had been asked to leave Malaysia and go our own way with no signposts to our next destination. We faced tremendous odds with an improbable chance of survival. […] On that 9th day of August 1965, I started out with great trepidation on a journey along an unmarked road to an unknown destination

(pp. 19, 25).

Fortunately for Singaporeans, Lee’s fears were unfounded as Singapore has not only survived but has been transformed from a Third World country to a First World country during the past 53 years. The tremendous changes in Singapore’s policy context from 1959 to 2016 are shown in Table I. First, Singapore’s land area has increased by 137.7 km2 from 581.5 km2 in 1959 to 719.2 km2 in 2016 as a result of land reclamation efforts. Second, as a consequence of its liberal immigration policy, Singapore’s population has increased by 3.6 times from 1.58 to 5.61m during the same period. Third, the most phenomenal manifestation of Singapore’s transformation from a poor Third World country to an affluent First World nation during 1960–2016 is that its GDP per capita has increased by 56 times from S$1,310 to S$73,167. Fourth, Singapore’s official foreign reserves have grown by 310 times from S$1,151m in 1963 to S$356,253.9m in 2016.

The lives of Singaporeans have also improved as reflected in the drastic decline in the unemployment rate from 14 per cent to 2.1 per cent during 1959–2016. Furthermore, the proportion of the population living in public housing has also increased from 9 per cent in 1960 to 82 per cent in 2016. Government expenditure on education has also risen by 200 times from S$63.39m in 1959 to S$12,660m in 2016. The heavy investment by the People’s Action Party (PAP) government on education during the past 57 years has reaped dividends as reflected in Singapore’s top ranking among 76 countries on the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s study on the provision of comprehensive education (Teng, 2015, p. A1). Finally, as a result of the effectiveness of the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) in enforcing the Prevention of Corruption Act (POCA) impartially, corruption has been minimised in Singapore, which is the least corrupt Asian country according to Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) in 2016 and 2017.

With three examples each distinguish between barriers to communication and misconceptions about communication.

Answers

Answer:

Barriers of communication-

1. Presence of physical barriers such as another person in between or a wall or a barricade.

2. Language, religious or cultural differences.

3. Lack of attention or concentration.

Misconceptions of communication-

1. A black cat as a sign of bad luck.

2. Shared information is the same as having communication.

3. Communication can solve all problems.

Explanation:

Barriers to communication are the obstacles that hinder the flow of communication between people. They may or may not be verbal or non-verbal, but at the same time, they prevent the passage of information from one point to another. Examples of barriers of communication can be cultural differences, language barriers, physical barriers such as a wall, lack of focus, or lack of concentration or attention.

On the other hand, misconceptions about communication are the belief in a certain myth or sayings without it being necessarily true. They are different from "barriers of communication in that misconceptions have to do with popular beliefs while barriers are mostly the physical or verbal "walls" that prevent the information flow. Examples of misconception about communication can be the belief in certain myths such as a black cat as an omen of bad luck, sharing information is the same as having a communication, or the belief that communication can solve all problems.

You and your class fellows have made a solar car. Write a letter to the Minister of Science and Technology to tell about your invention. Convince him that it should be marketed.

Answers

Answer:

                                                                                          From John Quincy

To the Ministry of  Science and Technology

Dear Sir/Ma,

 My name is John Quincy, a second year mechanical engineering student at MIT. I am writing to tell you about a solar powered car I co-invented with a classmate, and the possibilities of marketing this car. I hope you read this letter with an open mind, and see the potentials of this solar car.

 The world is going green. The days of fossil fuel powered vehicles are numbered, and the world is tending towards a green sustainable means of powering vehicles. One of the most promising, and almost inexhaustible source of this power lies untapped in the sun. To this end, we have taken our time to thoroughly research on the possible ways of utilizing this energy in the automobile industry. The result was the development of a solar powered car.

  The effectiveness of this vehicle lies in many factors like an endless supply of energy all around it. Also, there will be a cut-down in carbon emission into the atmosphere, this way, combating global warming. The only setbacks in marketing this vehicle is that the technology involved is still relatively new, and expensive; but the price will slowly tend down in the future as more of this technology becomes relatively cheap. To the consumers, this initial price can be painstakingly ignored with the promise of an almost free energy for powering this vehicle afterwards.

  From all the potentials and advantages of this solar powered car, you can see that the car potentially pose a good market, and it would be wise for this solar powered car to be marketed. We will be expecting your favorable response soon, and we assure you that we  are capable of going into mass production should this proposal be approved.

John Quincy

What does this passage explain about people?
-why mothers favor some children over others
-the contrasting sides of human nature
-why there is harmony in all things
-left- and right-handedness

Passage: The conflict between the twins continued, and for some reason their grandmother favored the left-handed twin. The right-handed twin became angry and resentful. He was the truthful twin who always did the right thing. The left-handed twin was deceitful and did everything backward. You could never trust him. The twins represent the two ways of the world which are in all people. The Indians do not call these good and evil. They call them the straight mind and the crooked mind, the righteous man and the devious man, the right and the left. —The World on Turtle’s Back

Answers

Answer:B:The contrasting sides of human nature

Explanation:
