Lately, the neighbors next door __________ their house. It will look very nice when it’s finished. Question 23 options: a) have painting b) have been painting c) have been paint d) have painted

Answers

Answer:

Have been painting

Explanation:

In this sentence, if you read them all aloud, the phrase "have been painting" is the only one that works.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since the second sentence is not past tense (It will look very nice when it’s finished.) the answer is "have been painting". Another reason that it's this answer is that the first word in the first sentence is "Lately". Had it been any other answer it would've sounded silly.

Sorry if that didn't make sense, these things are hard to explain.

What would be the most effective way for Mirai to include this research in her essay? She should quote the first sentence directly, because it contains specific information that would be difficult to restate. She should summarize the first sentence, because it describes the central argument of the essay in straightforward language. She should quote the second sentence directly, because it establishes important supporting evidence in a unique way. She should paraphrase the second sentence, because it presents basic knowledge that does not need to be cited.

Answers

This question is incomplete because the passage from the source Miral wants to include is missing; here is the passage:

Read the excerpt from a credible source for Mirai's research-based essay on the effects of the declining bee population.

Honeybees play a major role in the pollination of produce sold in the United States. Without the prolific support of honeybees, the nation's agricultural economy will suffer losses as great as those in the bee population.

The correct answer to this question is C. She should quote the second sentence directly, because it establishes important supporting evidence in a unique way.

Explanation:

In general, you can include credible sources by quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing this. Additionally, it is recommended to paraphrase or summarize the information if the information is general or can be restated without losing its essence. On the opposite, you should quote if the wording is unique, which means using your own words will affect the essence of the information, and if the piece of evidence directly supports the main argument.

According to this, in the source presented it recommended Mirai quotes the second sentence because this directly supports her main argument about the effects of the decline in the bees population. Also, the wording on it is unique and would be difficult to replace. For example, the expression "the nation's agricultural economy will suffer losses as great as those in the bee population" would lose its argumentative strength unique style if it is paraphrased or summarized.

Answer:

C. She should quote me he second sentence directly, because it establishes important supporting evidence in a unique way.

In which of these cases would the FCC intervene? a TV anchor using racial slurs against a celebrity a radio station dropping all forms of advertisement a TV broadcaster charging exorbitant rates for pay-per-view events a company launching its latest flat-screen televisions in the market

Answers

Answer:

A radio station dropping all forms of advertisement

A TV broadcaster charging exorbitant rates for pay-per-view events

Explanation:

The FCC ( Federal Communications Commission) regulates interstate and international communications within the USA.

The FCC also aims to grow a competitive, dynamic and innovative market and promote entrepreneurship.

They also aim to protect consumers from unwanted and intrusive communications.

Therefore, a radio station dropping all form of advertisement, and a TV broadcaster charging exorbitant rates for pay-per-view events would go against their policies and they would have to intervene.

Answer:

1. a TV anchor using racial slurs against a celebrity

2. a TV broadcaster charging exorbitant rates for pay-per-view events

Explanation:

The FCC is responsible for regulating interstate and international communications and therefore would intervene when a TV anchor uses racial slurs against a celebrity and also when a TV broadcaster charges exorbitant rates for pay-per-view events.

Which is NOT true of xenia as it pertains both to the Greek culture and to The Odyssey? Failure to show xenia, both within the book and within Greek culture, was believed to incur the wrath of Zeus. Xenia involves a reciprocal guest/host relationship of hospitality. Odysseus violated the code of xenia when he was a guest of Polythemus. It is based on obligation, not on friendship. all of the above

Answers

Answer:

It is based on obligation, not on friendship.

Explanation:

Xenia is an ancient Greek belief/ concept of extending hospitality to others, especially strangers. It is this belief that will hold many respectable relationships in Greek culture and even still practiced by some people in the modern world.

In both the Greek culture and the book "The Odyssey" by Homer, the concept of Xenia is presented or practiced. The question is asking which is not true of this concept, so the concept that is not true will be that Xenia is based on religious obligation and not friendship. This is false because, Xenia is based on both religious and friendship obligations, not just one alone. Xenia allows people to be hospitable to one another which can continue for generations, thus, merging with the friendship obligation.

The failure to show xenia can incur the wrath of Zeus is true for Zeus is believed to be the patron of the very concept.

Xenia involves the reciprocal guest-host relationship of hospitality is true because it is about the two parties' relationship of showing hospitality towards one another, the host waiting for the guest to be comfortable before he can ask questions and the guest has to make sure they do nothing wrong against their host. They are also expected to show the same hospitality whenever needed in the future.

Odysseus violated the code of xenia on the island when he was a guest of the Cyclops Polyphemus by stealing his property and hurting him.

1. What is the point of the arsenic eaters' story? How does it link to procrastination?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

There was a group of peasants in Styria and Lower Austria who were used to eat Arsenic to acquire fresh complexion and appearance of flourishing good health. They used to take Arsenic in a minimal amount about the size of a lentil. Over time, they started increasing their dose gradually. And then get addicted to it. Surprisingly, Arsenic did not harm them.

Procrastination is focusing on the final product and overthrowing the idea of getting bit by bit. Procrastination could be handled through small will power and accessing long term memory. Procrastination is associated with pain because we learn something it makes us uncomfortable. It initiates the pain within the center of our brain.

Procrastination could be justified through the story of Arsenic eaters. Arsenic was poison, but it is not harmful when we take it in a small amount, thus gradually increasing its dose. The body develops resilience and pains when we learn new things. Moreover, it could be overcome by normalization. By focusing on the process and making effort bit by bit the way Arsenic eaters gradually increased their dose. Avoidance is the best way to handle procrastination. It is a counter to learn new thing
