Answers

Answer:

In order to indicate a strong correlation between variables, the correlation coefficient will be near -1 or 1.

Explanation:

The correlation coefficient is a statistical term that always assumes values between -1 and 1, allowing an individual to interpret, through these values, the degree of relationship between two variables within a system.

The closer to -1 the correlation coefficient is, the more negative the relationship between variables will be, however, the closer to 1 the correlation coefficient is, the more positive the degree of relationship between variables will be.

Answers

Answer:

Nowhere man.

Explanation:

John's lyrics are somewhat autobiographical and introspective on this 1965 song that features brilliant harmonies throughout and lyrics that offer help to the forlorn listener. It is the song titled "Nowhere man."

John Winston Lennon was an English singer and songwriter, he was born on the 9th of October, 1940 in Liverpool, England. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by Mark David Chapman and died on the 9th of December, 1980 in New York, United States of America.

John formed his first band named "The Quarrymen" which later became "The Beatles" band in 1960 with the world famous James Paul Mccartney.

On the 21st of October, 1965 John recorded the song titled "Nowhere man" with his Beatles band in their sixth (6) studio album titled "Rubber soul." The rendition of Nowhere man was done in a three-part harmony by John, Paul and Harrison while John and Harrison played the lead guitar solo in unison.

Nowhere man was the first song which was unrelated to love, relationships or romance to be recorded and released by The Beatles. Apparently, the song was about John or simply put, the song was somewhat autobiographical, philosophical and introspective as it was written in first person.

Here's an excerpt from the song;

[Verse 1]

\\He's a real nowhere man.

\\Sitting in his nowhere land.

\\Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.

Two boys turned in a lost bag containing $4,000 to their school. They ____________ it in the street. Question 6 options: a) had been find b) have found c) had found d) found

Answers

Answer:

c) Had found.

Explanation:

Considering the structure of the sentence, it is easy to conclude that it is in the past tense. Thus, the use of the word "turned" in the first sentence is justified.

Now, the second sentence tells what had happened. So, we will use the past perfect tense in it. This means we will use "had+3rd form of the verb" in it. That makes the sentence as "they had found it in the street". This use of the perfect tense makes it clear that the second sentence happened before the first sentence and is a clarification of what had happened.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c) had found.

Rewrite the sentences, using verbal phrases in place of the italicized words.
I know that I can do better. This knowledge will help me persist.​

Answers

Answer:

Knowing that I can do better will help me persist.

Explanation:

Verbals are described as the derivative of a verb that functions as a noun or modifier in the sentence. It primarily includes participles(verbals that function as adjectives in the sentence), gerunds(verbals which function as nouns in the sentence), and infinitives(the verbals functioning as adverbs, nouns, or adjectives with 'to'). Thus, verbal phrases are described as the phrases that consist of a verbal plus any modifier or objects.

The given sentences can be rewritten using the verbal phrase('knowing that')  as it consists of a verbal 'knowing' plus modifier 'that'. Here, 'knowing that' is the participle phrase and it is functioning as an adjective in the sentence. Thus, this verbal phrase helps in connecting the two ideas together in a coherent manner.

In at least 75 words, explain how the semicolons are used in the excerpt.

Answers

The semicolon is used in the text above, to cause an intermediate effect between the comma and the period. In this case, when he used a semicolon the author was indicating to the reader that it was necessary to pause, in reading, longer than the pause of a comma, but less long than the pause of a point. This is done because the sentence displays a partially complete thought, but it will present more arguments to be finalized.

In a more simplified way, we can say that the use of a semicolon in the text above was made to separate long coordinated sentences with the same syntactic function.

Explanation:

Bullet Theory has had a long lifespan. First, describe what it is, then offer one critique.

Answers

Answer:

According to the "single-bullet theory", a 6.5mm caliber projectile. encased in a copper sheath and fired from a sixth floor, it went through President Kennedy's neck, Governor Connally's chest and wrist, eventually landing on the latter's thigh. The bullet passed through fifteen layers of clothing, approximately twelve inches of fabric, struck the knot of the President's tie, removed two inches of ribs, culminating in the thigh bone. The bullet that allegedly did all of this was found on the governor's gurney in the hospital corridor, becoming key evidence for the case.

In its conclusions, the Warren Commission found persuasive evidence from experts that a single bullet caused both the wound to the President's neck and the injuries to Connally. It establishes that there was a "difference of opinion" between the members of the Commission "regarding this probability" but established that the theory was not essential to its conclusions and that none of the members had doubts that the shots were fired from the window on the sixth floor of the Depository building.

The House Select Committee on Assassinations of the House of Representatives of 1978 agreed with the Single Bullet Theory, but not in the time it took. The Single Bullet Theory has been fervently defended by those who agree with the Warren Commission's findings and equally criticized by those who disagree.

Explanation:

The criticism that can be given to this theory would be that in a case like this, in which the judgment on the preparation of the appeal has at all times been restricted to the previous question of its possible extemporaneity, once this was ruled out, the body a quo was obliged to verify compliance with the, that until then had not been verified: the observance of the requirements established in the much cited section 2 of article 89 of the LJCA.

In conclusion, a single bullet, therefore, when the court or sentencing has entered to examine all of the procedural premises in the instance, consequently proscribing a new review of the viability of the appeal for reasons additional to that already raised ab initio. Extra ammunition, on the contrary, and the possibility of subsequently denying the preparation for different reasons, when that prior examination was about specific aspects, for example, the timing, legitimacy or appeal of the resolution.

Select the sentence that uses passive voice. A.) The teeth were examined by the dentist. B.)Scott brushed his teeth before his dental appointment. C.)Dr. Vada listens to her patients carefully. D.) New technology allows hygienists to clean teeth quickly and gently.

Answers

Answer: A.) The teeth were examined by the dentist.

Explanation:

When using Passive voice, the focus of the sentence becomes the person or thing that is receiving attention not the person or thing that is giving the attention. For instance, The phone is being charged by the salesperson. The salesperson is not the subject or focus of the sentence but rather the phone is.

In option A, the Teeth are the ones receiving the attention and yet are the focus of the sentence as well. This makes this sentence a Passive sentence.


Write three to four sentences presenting your prediction
about the main conflict in the novel based on how the
characters feel about their lives. Include evidence to
support your prediction.

Answers

I believe that Mr. Jones is not likely to change due to the fact that he can not understand the animals. The first chapter of this book depicts Mr. Jones more of an animal than the animals themselves, someone who is violent and abrasive, we see this when he decides to shoot his gun once his sleep is disrupted. I hope that in the future of this book Mr. Jones learns the errors of his ways, since the point of the book is to make us think as humans how we can be better, but I think it is unlikely.

Answer: The main conflict will most likely be between the animals and the humans. Several ideas in the text support this prediction. First, the animals explain that they live in miserable conditions, and that the humans steal their labor. Then, they state that man is the enemy. Finally, they say that hunger and overwork will disappear if humans are removed from their lives. It seems likely that the animals on the farm will rebel against their human owners.

In "The Masque of the Red Death," Edgar Allan Poe personifies the Red Death. Which two excerpts from the story reflect this fact? Excerpt 1 The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. Excerpt 2 The figure was tall and gaunt, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat. Excerpt 3 His vesture was dabbled in blood—and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror. And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. Excerpt 4 But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in the extreme, and produced so wild a look upon the countenances of those who entered, that there were few of the company bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Personification is giving human like characteristics or actions to a non-human things.

Excerpt 1 just talks about how scary and awful the Red Death is, but it doesn't really make it seem human.

Excerpt 2 describes the Red Death like a really scary looking masked person looking thing, kind of like a scythe. The Red Death is a non-human thing though, but Poe is making it seem human. This is personification.

Excerpt 3 talks about a face, vesture, brow, etc. These are all things that humans usually have. This is a personification.

Excerpt 4 is just describing a scary place, but it doesn't really talk about anything human, and it doesn't seem to be talking about the Red Death at all.

Therefore, the answer is Excerpt 2 and Excerpt 3.
