Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region.
It already affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year.
More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.
Water scarcity involves water stress, water shortage or deficits, and water crisis.
While the concept of water stress is relatively new, it is the difficulty of obtaining sources of fresh water for use during a period of time and may result in further depletion and deterioration of available water resources.Water shortages may be caused by climate change, such as altered weather patterns including droughts or floods, increased pollution, and increased human demand and overuse of water.
A water crisis is a situation where the available potable, unpolluted water within a region is less than that region's demand.

A water crisis is a situation where the available potable, unpolluted water within a region is less than that region's demand.
Water scarcity is being driven by two converging phenomena: growing freshwater use and depletion of usable freshwater resources.
Water scarcity can be a result of two mechanisms: physical (absolute) water scarcity and economic water scarcity, where physical water scarcity is a result of inadequate natural water resources to supply a region's demand, and economic water scarcity is a result of poor management of the sufficient available water resources.

How is the motif of “nature” developed throughout the short story “The Interlopers?”
Answer:
Nature is presented as superior to humans in all inevitability in the text.
Explanation:
When the text beings, the two brothers treat nature as something they can easily control as they wish to but as it progresses, the strife between the brothers begins to culminate. It represents the infighting between humans.
Von Gradwitz and Znaeym eventually lose to the nature, not to each other as they fought for a narrow strip of forest for so long.
They remain the true interlopers of the story and the nature triumphs as something that cannot be overcome by any man.
The part of a word that modifies a word's meaning that consists of a letter, a syllable, or several
syllables and is attached to a word's beginning is a(n)
Answer:
Prefix
Explanation:
A Prefix is defined as a morpheme or the part of the word that is added to the beginning of a root word to modify its meaning. This element of the word usually consists of 'a letter, a syllable, or several syllables' which primarily functions to either modify or revise the meaning of the base word. For example, if we place the prefix 'un-' before the base word 'happy', it becomes the antonym of the word and means 'not happy' while the prefix 'semi-' alters the meaning of the word by making it half like if 'semi-' is placed before circle, it means 'half circle.'

Answer:
Subjesr is the doer of the verb
Answer:
The subject of a sentence is the doer or is the person that performs the action.
It tells us what the person is doing or what is happening.
Subjects can be found at the beginning or at the middle or at the end of a sentence.

In the sentence it is telling us that Ella is walking with her mother.
Ella is dancing....here it is telling us that she is performing an action which is "dancing" without the subject to tell us the action that is taking place the sentence won't be complete and won't make sense....I hope this helps you....

What is an example of how languages differ in distinguishing colors? *
what is an example of how languages differ in distinguishing colors ?
Answer:
Explanation:
The human eye can physically perceive millions of colour. Some people can’t see differences in colours – so called colour blindness – due to a defect or absence of the cells in the retina that are sensitive to high levels of light: the cones. But the distribution and density of these cells also varies across people with “normal vision” causing us all to experience the same colour in slightly different ways.
Besides our individual biological make up, colour perception is less about seeing what is actually out there and more about how our brain interprets colours to create something meaningful. The perception of colour mainly occurs inside our heads and so is subjective – and prone to personal experience.
Take for instance people with synaesthesia, who are able to experience the perception of colour with letters and numbers. Synaesthesia is often described as a joining of the senses – where a person can see sounds or hear colours. But the colours they hear also differ from case to case.
Another example is the classic Alderson’s checker-shadow illusion. Here, although two marked squares are exactly the same colour, our brains don’t perceive them this way.
Since the day we were born we have learnt to categorise objects, colours, emotions, and pretty much everything meaningful using language. And although our eyes can perceive thousands of colours, the way we communicate about colour – and the way we use colour in our everyday lives – means we have to carve this huge variety up into identifiable, meaningful categories.
Painters and fashion experts, for example, use colour terminology to refer to and discriminate hues and shades that to all intents and purposes may all be described with one term by a non expert.
Different languages and cultural groups also carve up the colour spectrum differently. Some languages like Dani, spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone, only have two terms, dark and light. Dark roughly translates as cool in those languages, and light as warm. So colours like black, blue, and green are glossed as cool colours, while lighter colours like white, red, orange and yellow are glossed as warm colours.
The Warlpiri people living in Australia’s Northern Territory don’t even have a term for the word “colour”. For these and other such cultural groups, what we would call “colour” is described by a rich vocabulary referring to texture, physical sensation and functional purpose.
Remarkably, most of the world’s languages have five basic colour terms. Cultures as diverse as the Himba in the Namibian plains and the Berinmo in the lush rainforests of Papua New Guinea employ such five term systems. As well as dark, light, and red, these languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that denotes both blue and green. That is, these languages do not have separate terms for “green” and “blue” but use one term to describe both colours, a sort of “grue”.
People see colours differently according to the way their language categorises them.
Historically, Welsh had a “grue” term, namely glas, as did Japanese and Chinese. Nowadays, in all these languages, the original grue term has been restricted to blue, and a separate green term is used. This is either developed from within the language – as is the case for Japanese – or through lexical borrowing, as is the case for Welsh.
Russian, Greek, Turkish and many other languages also have two separate terms for blue – one referring exclusively to darker shades, and one referring to lighter shades.
The way we perceive colours can also change during our lifetime. Greek speakers who have two fundamental colour terms to describe light and dark blue – “ghalazio” and “ble” – are more prone to see these two colours as more similar after living for long periods of time in the UK – where these two colours are described in English by the same fundamental colour term: blue.
This is because after long term everyday exposure to an English speaking environment, the brain of native Greek speakers starts interpreting the colours “ghalazio” and “ble” as part of the same colour category.
But this isn’t just something that happens with colour, in fact different languages can influence our perceptions in all areas of life. And in our lab at Lancaster University we are investigating how the use of and exposure to different languages changes the way we perceive everyday objects. Ultimately, this happens because learning a new language is like giving our brain the ability to interpret the world differently – including the way we see and process colours.
How do you think the Danes made Beowulf feel welcome? How do they make Scandinavia feel like his hometown, even though he isn’t from there?
Answer:
The Da*es made Beowulf feel welcome by giving him gifts, composing music, respecting him and giving him honor.
The king of De*mark adopted Beowulf as his son, giving him the position of prince and countryman, which meant that he was treated as if he belonged there, even though he was not a Da*ish.
Explanation:
Beowulf freed the Da*es from the beasts that terrified, killed and enslaved them. This made them feel extremely grateful and treated Beowulf with the greatest possible honor, recognizing him as a true hero.
To show how welcome he was and how all the people were grateful for his presence, they offered him gifts, riches, respect, music and tales. The king of De*mark made a discreet complimenting him and saying that he considered him his son and that within De*mark he would occupy the position of a prince.
Why do you think Ariel’s diction is mostly poetic and full of figurative in The Tempest?
Answer:
Explanation:
A soliloquy is where a character, onstage and alone, reveals their thoughts to the audience. Shakespeare, as The Tempest is not a tragedy, does not use many soliloquy's, as the dramatic scenes in the play are enough to give accurate information to the audience. However, Shakespeare does use a few soliloquys, most notably through Prospero, for example, in Scene 5, Act 1, to end the play by telling the audience that he is giving up his magic.

Explanation:
Jonas Salk (1914-1995). For the first half of the 20th century, poliomyelitis, also known as infantile paralysis, was one of the most dreaded diseases to attack young people. By 1955 American physician and researcher Jonas Salk had developed a vaccine that almost eradicated the disease in the United States and other developed countries.
Jonas Edward Salk was born in New York City on October 28, 1914. He graduated from the City College of New York in 1934 and earned his doctorate in medicine from New York University's College of Medicine in 1939. While in medical school he had worked with Thomas Francis Jr. on killed-virus immunology studies. In 1942 he joined a group at the University of Michigan working on a vaccine against influenza. The vaccine was perfected in 1953.
In 1947 Salk became associate professor of bacteriology and head of the Virus Research Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. There he began working on the polio vaccine. Three viruses caused polio, and a vaccine had to be effective against all of them. By 1952 Salk had developed such a vaccine and conducted field tests on children. His findings were published in 1953, and a mass field test was done the next year.
On April 12, 1955, the vaccine was released for use in the United States. In 1957 Salk was named professor of experimental medicine at Pittsburgh, and in 1963 he went to San Diego as head of the Institute (later named the Salk Institute) for Biological Studies. In 1977 Salk was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He died on June 23, 1995, in La Jolla, California.
Answer the following question based on the Compton’s Encyclopedia Reading:
A. Dr. Salk did not have enough money to pay for his research and supplies
B. Dr. Salk has to create one vaccine that was effective against three different viruses
C. Dr. Salk had to convince government officials to allow him to test the vaccine
D. Dr. Salk’s idea for a vaccine was not supported by other scientist and physicians
Answer: B. Dr. Salk has to create one vaccine that was effective against three different viruses.
Identify the word in italics. This is the dog I was telling you about. Demonstrative pronoun indefinite pronoun interrogative pronoun relative pronoun not a pronoun
This question is incomplete because there is not a word in italics. Here is the complete question:
Identify the word in italics.
This is the dog I was telling you about.
A. Demonstrative pronoun
B. Indefinite pronoun
C. Interrogative pronoun
D. Relative pronoun
E. Not a pronoun
The answer to this question is A. Demonstrative pronouns
Explanation:
In general, the function of a pronoun, which includes words such as I, some, that, is to replace a noun. Moreover, in the English language there are different pronouns depending on their uses and features. In the case of demonstrative pronouns, these indicate the specific noun. Due to this, in English these pronouns are these, that, those, and this; for example, the pronoun this indicates the noun is singular and close to the speaker. According to this, the type of pronoun shown by the word in italics "this" is demonstrative pronouns.
Question: After reading the story the lady or the tiger by Frank R. Stockton what expectations did the princess have for her significant other regarding their relationship? How do these expectations influence her decision regarding his life?
Answer and Explanation:
In the short story "The Lady or the Tiger", the princess is in love with a man of inferior birth. Her father, a semi-barbaric king, is furious about their relationship. He decides the man should be judged by randomly choosing one of two doors. He can either choose the one where there is a tiger, and be killed instantly, or he can choose the one behind which a damsel awaits to marry him. This is the king's idea of a fair trial.
As the trial gets closer and closer, the narrator tells us of the agony the princess is facing. She loves the man, so she does not want him to die. However, she fears he will be too happy if he opens the door to the damsel. It's as if she does not expect him to be faithful in his love for her, as if the happiness of not being killed by a tiger will automatically transform into love for the pretty girl behind the door. Anyway, the princess has no expectations of continuing her relationship with him. He will either die or marry someone.
That realization is bound to influence her decision. However, the author does not make it clear what that decision is. He leaves it for the readers to wonder what she has chosen to do. She knows which door leads to which fate. Will she guide the man to the tiger out of jealousy? Or will she point him to the damsel to save his life? We cannot know for sure. But I dare say she, as a semi-barbaric princess (according to the narrator himself) would end up pointing him the door with the tiger. If she will lose him anyway, at least she will not lose him to another woman. We must remember this princess is quite selfish and spoiled.

What sins are punished most severely and why? Or what does Inferno indicate about medieval values? You must also respond to this question: Do you agree with Dante's hierarchy of Hell? Why or why not?
Answer:
What sins are punished most severely and why? Or what does Inferno indicate about medieval values?
The four sins that are most severly punished are: heresy, violence, fraud and treachery, in that order.
We can see a common thing in these sins: either they are related to falsehood and lying (heresy, fraud, and treachery), or they are related to physical aggression (violence).
This classification tells us that in Medieval times, people were particularly concern with honesty and lack of aggression. In particular, heresy is a sin expected to be thought as one of the worst, because of the great importance that religion had at the time, and because many people considered heretics were executed during this era.
Treachery can also be expected to be the worst sin of all, because of its relation with Judas, who betrayed Jesus.
Do you agree with Dante's hierarchy of Hell? Why or why not?
I personally agree with his hierarchy of Hell. Dante was a very smart thinker and good writer, and he developed a vision of hell that not only agrees with many medieval values, but also with values of the modern era.
