3. Why did Phillip and his family live on the island?

Answers

Answer:

because they didn't have a house?

Explanation:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal.”
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow, this ground—The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

The antecedent of “it” (paragraph 2, sentence 3) is
A.
“what we say”
B.
“a great battle field”
C.
“[t]he brave men”

“our poor power”

What are the key characteristics of poetry?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The elements of poetry include meter, rhyme, form, sound, and rhythm (timing).

Different poets use these elements in many different ways. Some poets do not use rhyme at all. Some use couplets, while others may rhyme the second and fourth lines only...in a stanza.

Some use stanzas (form), which are often lines of four, grouped together—but poems can also be broken into sections consisting of eight lines or eleven. It depends on the author. In Shakespeare's Sonnet 29, for instance, the first and third lines rhyme, as do the second and forth—he uses three four-line stanzas, ending with a rhyming couplet (pair of lines):

When, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,


I all alone beweep my outcast state,  

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,  

And look upon myself, and curse my fate...

The elements of poetry include meter, rhyme, form, sound, and rhythm (timing). Different poets use these elements in many different ways. Some poets do not use rhyme at all. Some use couplets, while others may rhyme the second and fourth lines only...in a stanza.

The first said after touching the sides said it is smooth and solid like a wall and that it must be very powerful.

The second: After touching the trunk stated that the elephant was like a large snake

The third: after touching its tusk said the elephant is sharp like a spear

The fourth: Liken the elephant to a large cow after touching its legs

The fifth: stated that it is like a huge fan or a flying carpet

The sixth said that the elephant was a piece of rope after touching its tail.

When viewed individually, they all got it wrong. But when all their answers are put together, it adequately, albeit eccentrically, describes the elephant.

22nd. It’s currently April 21.

informing them of this change. In addition, you need to keep in mind that these employees are paid by the hour.
Write a memo that explains the reasoning behind this change in hours and also assuages the concerns of the employees.

Memo No. 012

Lebanese International University Health Center, April 21, 2019.

From: Rair moona, Chief Pharmacist

For: pharmaceuticals and technicians.

Subject: Reduction of workload.

Dear collaborators,

As you know, we are close to starting the summer period, when the flow of students willing to cooperate in our activities decreases dramatically. This causes us to have an imbalance in the workload and the work that must be done. Because of this, to prevent you from being overworked, we decided to reduce your working hours from 8 am to 5 pm to 8 am - 3:30 pm from May 23 to August 22. Obviously, your tasks will also be reduced.

However, as we know that you are paid per hour worked, we decided to increase the amount paid per hour, as long as this period lasts so that none of you are harmed.

I appreciate everyone's understanding.

Are there any measures we can use in preventing environmental distractions, perceptions, being preoccupied and language barriers? Please cite specific ways in explaining your answers.

Answers

Answer:

There are several measures that can be used for this purpose.

Explanation:

Among the various measures that can be used to minimize and prevent environmental distractions, perceptions, concerns and language barriers, prioritizing listening rather than speaking and staying focused are the most effective.

This is because we often do not give our brain time to process the information received, because we are anxious to give our opinion and end up not listening to other people. This causes inaccurate perceptions, in addition to not having an efficient conversation. In that case, we should always prioritize listening rather than talking. So we can reflect without distractions, have a correct perception of things and respond in a harmonious way. If even giving priority to listening, there is confusion of understanding, it is important that the individual asks what is happening, or says that he is unable to understand.

Master focus is very important as well. This reduces the number of distractions and is able to promote the elimination of background noises that hinder communication in a great way.
