how well do you fit the mythical norm of mainstream U.S. culture?
Answer:
I fit very well into the mythical norm of mainstream U.S. culture.
Explanation:
A mythical norm refers to the idealized and stereotyped characteristics of a region. In relation to the united states we can consider mythical norms such as being white, being of upper middle class, playing sports, having full access to education, technology and culture, having freedom, having my own car among other characteristics that I fit very well, since I can recognize most of them in me. In other words, I fit the social standard established in that country as the ideal and for that reason, I can accept that I fit the mythical norm well.

B.)Sitcoms are a low form of comedy, with no other purpose than to make people laugh using crude jokes. Reality TV, on the other hand, in its various forms, teaches us about human nature. C.)Reality TV feeds off the basest elements of human nature: cruelty, vulgarity, and exploitation of the most vulnerable of our society; conversely, sitcoms are valuable because they are creative expressions of well-thought-out writing, acting, and directing. D.)Watching what people will say and do in the real-life, unusual situations found in reality TV is more entertaining than the made-up, orchestrated situations of sitcoms.

Explanation:
What’s the indirect object in the parts company will ship them the package
The correct answer is "them"
Explanation:
In general terms, the object of a sentence is the entity affected by the action. Moreover, in sentences, it is possible to find indirect and direct objects. In the case of the direct object is the element that directly receives the action, while the indirect object describes the person that benefits from the action.
In the case of the sentence "The parts company will ship them the package" the direct object is "the package" as this is the object that is "send", and therefore the object directly related to the action. Besides this, the word "them" would be the indirect object because this is the beneficiary of the action and it is indirectly related to it.
Use the information from the preceding sentence to write a coherent paragraph about replacing the sports scoreboard strive to use three device yo build coherence
Hello. You forgot to inform the "preceding sentence" to which the question refers.
The previous sentence is "The substitution of the school stadium scoreboard".
Answer:
The replacement of the school stadium's scoreboard has become a subject frequently debated in the fields due to its urgency. The outdation of the scoreboard means that it does not provide accurate results, which ends up hindering the realization of important games for the student community. It should be noted that the replacement of the scoreboard is an urgent activity and not to carry out repairs, because due to its advanced age, finding compatible parts and specialized labor would be very difficult and expensive to be achieved. However, the replacement of the scoreboard will not be cheap, which reinforces the need to find sponsoring brands that can perform the substitution in exchange for the exclusive sale of their products within the school.

How can you connect The Declaration of Independence to the theme "Building a Democracy?"
To connect the Declaration of Independence with the theme "Building a Democracy" you can show how the Declaration of Independence was a document that aimed at the freedom of the American people from a monarchical, limiting and without freedom government, with the intention of establishing a free nation, powerful and with the people as sovereign. This concept of sovereignty and popular freedom in the Declaration of Independence is one of the main building blocks of a democracy. In this case, this document allowed the conceptualization of democracy as a form of fair governance and that must be built in any nation that values a strong and happy people.

Online learning poses some challenges to students in developing countries like Ghana. Write your own experience, discuss four challenges you have faced since the start of the online learning programme. Your answer should be at least 500-words long.
Answer:
Find the challenges and explanations below.
Explanation:
Online learning, mostly in Africa, is a recent invention in education which involves the use of the internet in virtual learning. While this is a welcome development especially given the recent pandemic because of the advantage of limited contact with people, this mode of learning is also characterized by different challenges.
Personally, the challenges I have encountered while using this system of learning in Ghana, include;
1. Poor Internet Connectivity: I have observed that most times when I use online learning platforms I encounter poor internet connectivity which could sometimes be entirely lost during a learning session. This is a huge limitation as it hampers the learning process. This poor internet connectivity could arise from poor weather conditions and could make users struggle to see or hear themselves.
2. The High Cost of Data: Data in Africa is still relatively expensive. Online learning consumes a lot of data and the data vendors charge huge rates for limited data plans. As a student, it is most times difficult to achieve purchase data. So, it is possible to run out of data while learning.
3. Irregular power supply: Electricity is a basic need that Africans are yet to stabilize and ensure that their citizens experience an uninterrupted supply of the same. Electricity is not stable in the rural area where I live in Ghana. So, an online learning session can be marred when there is a power outage in between classes.
4. Limited interaction with teachers: Unlike the face-to-face classroom experience where students can freely interact with teachers, the online learning platforms afford just limited interaction with our teachers. Given that we are managing the limited resources to hold these classes, teaching is quite snappy.
In actuality, this is a good development in Africa, and just as with every other new invention or start-up, there are challenges. So as time progresses, better ways should and would be developed by the government to ensure an improved online learning experience.

Answer:
A Memorable Day
Explanation:
One day when I wake up in morning I heard some noise. I was not sure what this noise is all about. It was Sunday and usually on Sunday my family does not wake up early but around 7:00 a.m. my sleep was disturbed with some noise. I get up from the bed and looked from the window to see if everything was fine outside. There was no one on the street and there were birds singing some sweet melodies.
I was enjoying the birds melodious voice and again I heard some noise. It seemed like as if people were fighting or arguing with each other. I was curious to know the reason behind that sound. I opened my room and went down stairs to see if my family is having any issue of dispute, but there was no one and it seemed that everyone is sleeping in their room.
I was going back to my room from the stairs and suddenly I heard a loud voice coming from my sisters room. I went to see her and knocked her door. It was pin drop silence then. I knocked again and the door opened. Then I saw a surprise that I will be not be able to forget in my life. It was my Uncle who traveled from abroad and came to our house with their family. It was my birthday and they all prepared a surprise a cake with celebration. My cousins wished me birthday. My uncle gave me surprise gift. I opened it quickly and it was a frame which has our family photograph. This was a memorable day for me of my life.

Explanation:
Consider how cultural diversity defines American society and literature. Is the American identity static or fluid over time? How do you define your cultural identity?
Answer:
The American society is composed of an ethnical mix, with members of many nations which blend into one unique American identity, while keeping their authenticity. This authenticity can be seen clearly in the cultural diversity. Just like any other identity, American is fluid over time. It changes and alters, in accordance with societal changes. Identities are not carved in stone. While we have every right to actively participate in the process of fashioning our identities, they still have a relative autonomy, and change over time. For example, if I am an Italian immigrant who lives in the U.S., I still have every right to claim my Italian cultural inheritance, but it doesn't make me less of an American. By living in America, I am adopting new cultural traits. My children will have their own perception of their cultural identity that doesn't have to be the same as mine.

Which revision is necessary to create proper punctuation within the sentence? The phrase ""born in Genoa"" should be set off with commas. The phrase ""Christopher Columbus"" should be set off with commas. The phrase ""never did reach"" should be set off with commas. The phrase ""mainland North America"" should be set off with commas.
This question is incomplete, since it is missing the sentence we must punctuate correctly. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read the sentence.
Christopher Columbus born in Genoa never did reach mainland North America
Which revision is necessary to create proper punctuation within the sentence?
The phrase “born in Genoa” should be set off with commas.
The phrase “Christopher Columbus” should be set off with commas.
The phrase “never did reach” should be set off with commas.
The phrase “mainland North America” should be set off with commas.
Answer:
The necessary revision is:
The phrase “born in Genoa” should be set off with commas.
Explanation:
The phrase "born in Genoa" is an appositive, meaning it renames another word or phrase in the sentence. In other words, an appositive has the function of giving further explanation or information about something that was just mentioned. In this case, "born in Genoa" is giving readers more information about Christopher Columbus. Appositives that are not restrictive, but that offer an explanation, must be set off by commas. Therefore, the correct punctuation for this sentence would be:
"Christopher Columbus, born in Genoa, never did reach mainland North America ."
Answer:
a

Answer:
The most complicated period of life for me was the transition from adolescence to adulthood. It is difficult to start living life with the seriousness required when there is still no emotional preparation for it. When I turned twenty, I realized that I would have to take on greater responsibilities than just going to school and meeting with my friends. The pressure to choose a college and an ideal profession were points that substantially impacted my emotions, and caused me anxiety and difficulty in dealing with the challenges that I would have to face. I can say that it was not an easy period, it is difficult for you to decide something that will have a direct bearing on your future, there is often no possibility of a dialogue with young people to help with their doubts and insecurities, it is only a request that the young person decide about your life, without often having a concrete emotional intelligence to do so. I always wanted to study fashion, it was something that since my childhood I showed interest, I made drawings of clothes in the notebook and imagined what my collections of haute couture dresses would be like. But unfortunately life takes us to different paths of the vocation that we believe we have, often based on the lack of opportunities to pay for a college and live alone in another city. Finally, I chose to go to administration school and it was a good choice within what I could do, since management gave me the tools necessary to build a successful business that could help me build a fashion-oriented company in the future.

Think about Cyrus and Darius as leaders. Now, imagine that you are the leader of a vast empire in ancient times. Would you look to Cyrus and Darius as role models for your reign? Why or why not? Write one or two paragraphs to explain your answer.
Answer:
Cyrus was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire and under his government, the Empire expanded vastly and conquered most of Western and Central Asia.
Cyrus the Great created the largest empire the world had ever seen. He reigned between 559 to 530 BC and was succeeded by Cambyses II.
Darius was an emperor of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia. He came into power after overthrowing the monarch Bardiya.
His reign was met with endless rebellions which he always quelled.
He organized the empire by dividing it into provinces and put straps in charge over each province.
His reign brought about progress in Persian empire as he built road networks and introduced standard weights and measures.
He helped centralize the empire and unify it.
Would I look to Cyrus and Darius as role models as a leader of a vast empire in ancient times?
Yes, I would.
They were both great men of their time, Cyrus was a military genius and commander, Darius was great at administration by organising the empire and placing governors on each province, while making large roads for easier movement.
Answer:
I think that Cyrus and Darius would be great role models as leaders of vast empires in ancient times. Leading such a large empire was no small task, but these leaders were able to hold the empire together. They worked to have a strong army, and they created an empire based on fairness and tolerance. They made their subjects loyal to them.
Darius was also great at organizing the empire. He divided the empire into 20 provinces, with leaders for each one. The satraps helped him control each province, but he still maintained power over the satraps. This system would be a great way to hold the empire together while keeping track of each province.

Answer:3,c

In a closed primary, a voter can cast a vote for delegates who will represent them at party conventions. Therefore, option C is correct.
What are closed primaries ?Only those who are registered party members may cast a ballot for that party in a closed primary.
Voters can express their preferences for a candidate in a general election, a municipal election, or a by-election by participating in primary elections, often known as direct primaries.
State primaries and caucuses held by the party typically facilitate this. State delegates attend the national convention to cast their votes for the candidates of their choosing.
Nonetheless, convention delegates select the nominee if no candidate wins the support of the majority of a party's delegates during the primaries and caucuses.
Thus, option C is correct.
