On her first visit to China, Sally was surprised to find that her hosts often did not get straight to the point when communicating with her. In fact, they often seemed to be more interested in creating a friendly atmosphere than in sharing messages. Also, her hosts seemed to pay close attention to her nonverbal behaviors to determine what she meant in her messages to them. Sally found the type of communication used by her hosts to be inefficient. Why was this?
Answer:
This was because Sally came from a monochronic culture.
Explanation:
In a monochronic culture, the people value time and are also decision-oriented. They know what they want and would talk or do things straight to the point instead of dillydallying. On the other hand, polychronic cultures like China tend to be more multi- in their sense of time and behavior and even interactions with others.
So, while listeners in monochronic culture want directness in conversations, it is quite the opposite in a polychronic culture. For the latter, creating a friendly environment, getting to know the person, etc. are all aspects of their culture.
Thus, when Sally decided that her hosts are inefficient in their type of communication, that was because her culture differs from that of her hosts.
what type of clause is the following? if you follow these guidelines independant clause, dependent clause, primary clause, and main clause
Answer:
Dependent clause.
Explanation:
A dependent clause is a clause or group of words that cannot stand on its own as a sentence. They need to be part of another clause, an independent clause, to be in a sentence. They contain a subject and a verb but cannot function as a complete sentence or thought.
In the given clause "if you follow these guidelines", the presence of the conditional adverb "if" makes it a dependent clause.
Thus, the correct answer is a dependent clause.

Write an essay that explains how the foreshadowing in "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W.
Jacobs creates tension, suspense, or both. Your essay will have an introduction
paragraph, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. The ideas in your
essay must be linked by transitions.
Make sure you show a good understanding of what foreshadowing, tension, and
suspense mean. Also make sure you can pick out examples of these elements in
"The Monkey's Paw" so that you can support your essay's claim with evidence.
Your essay should include the following elements:
• A claim about how the foreshadowing in W. W. Jacobs's story creates tension or
suspense
• An introduction paragraph, at least two body paragraphs, and a conclusion
paragraph
• Evidence from the story that supports your claim
• Transitions that link words and ideas
Answer:
In ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ the author W.W.Jacobs begins the story by setting the scene and the atmosphere by describing the area in which the White’s live. Jacobs describes the night as cold and wet, while inside the house the blinds are drawn and the fire is burning brightly. This is a good contrast, as the house seems to have a warm and safe atmosphere inside, even though the cottage is situated in a remote area of the country, with extremely unpleasant and harsh weather. Before the Sergeant-Major arrives, the atmosphere of the house seems quite tense and dull. Jacobs shows how tense Mr. White is when he writes “Bawled Mr. White, with sudden and unlooked-for violence”. You can easily see that Mr. White doesn’t seem to be concentrating on his game of chess. As ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ was written over a century ago, Jacobs doesn’t use explicit gory details to create horror like modern scary films and books. Instead, he uses subtle hints in most aspects of the story to build up an element of terror and one of these aspects is the way that Jacobs uses setting. The setting of part I begins with a cliché common to most gothic horror stories. “The night was cold and wet but in the small parlour of a Laburnum villa…” The wet and cold atmosphere has an unpleasant effect on the reader as it makes them immediately feel uneasy about the situation. Cold and wet as a combination are both largely used clichés to set the scene of a story, similar to ‘To Build a Fire’, by Jack London, which did however have a more intense description of the setting which was successfully suspenseful and eerie. The pathetic fallacy at the very beginning conveys the idea that the story will contain dark or evil connotations. The use of the word, ‘but’ has been purposely selected to show there is more to the situation, implying that it is liable to a twist. The first paragraph has a great ambience of normality across it; this had been done to allow the reader to empathize with the characters, as it has been set in a fairly common area. However, by setting it in a commonplace, such as a home – Jacobs is defying the orthodox Gothic Horror genre setting. Most stories or novels which follow the rules of this genre are set in deserted places or a more enchanted/fictional region.
In addition, the transition between each part of the story shows large changes in mood. After Herbert retires for the night, the second part begins, which has a very customary, “prosaic” mood to it. The contrast of mood between the start of part II and the end of part I is very large and keeps the reader alert. The huge amount of tension built when Herbert gazes into the fire is dropped instantaneously, keeping the interest of the reader. The following day, the mood is very calm and relaxed, the reader may feel as if the mood were too normal, and become suspicious, waiting for some action to occur. Following the Gothic Horror genre, there is a cliché that sunlight has a large impact on the mood of a story, as everything seems more controlled and calm during the day.
Answer:
The author is able to create tension and suspense through many ways in “The Monkey's Paw”. In the opening sentence of the story, we are given a quick description of the surrounding area. In gothic stories, they are usually set in a remote and isolated area, as in “The Monkey's Paw” the main setting is in a remote village where there were only two houses around. “Without, the night was cold and wet,” sets the scene of the story. A gloomy background has been given to set the surrounding area. The weather is similar to the feelings of the main characters.This is a good contrast, as the house seems to have a warm and safe atmosphere inside, even though the cottage is situated in a remote area of the country, with extremely unpleasant and harsh weather. The setting of part I begins with a common to most gothic horror stories. “The night was cold and wet but in the small parlor of a Laburnum villa…” The wet and cold atmosphere has an unpleasant effect on the reader as it makes them immediately feel uneasy about the situation. The use of the word, ‘but’ is used purposely to show there is more to the situation, implying that there might be a twist. The first paragraph has a great mood of routine across it, and this has been done to allow the reader to empathize with the characters, as it has been set in a fairly common area.
In addition, the transition between each part of the story shows large changes in mood. After Herbert retires for the night, the second part begins, which has a very usual, “dull” mood to it. The contrast of mood between the start of part II and the end of part I is very large and keeps the reader alert. The huge amount of tension built when Herbert gazes into the fire is dropped instantly, keeping the interest of the reader. The following day, the mood is very calm and relaxed, the reader may feel as if the mood were too normal, and become suspicious, waiting for some action to occur. Following the Gothic Horror genre, it is common that sunlight has a large impact on the mood of a story, as everything seems more controlled and calm during the day.

I want you to think about both of these songs: This is America by Childish Gambino
Im Not Racist by Joyner Lucas
Explanation:
These songs both had political backgrounds and influences. ((I advise you to do some googling on their meanings, I am going off somewhat on my own))
This is America was based off America's stereotypes and had metaphors about race and gun violence. He used his music platform to inform the world about the violence around them and his about his violent contradictions about being black in America.
Here is a link for a break down of the music video : https://time.com/5267890/childish-gambino-this-is-america-meaning/ (I don't know if it is an reliable source b/c media outlets are biased sometimes)
I'm not Racist is a song that was written about the state of race relations in America and how far apart blacks and whites are in how they see things in America. He used his platform to show the world the mindsets of specifics races (whites and blacks) to one another in their own county. "First, the white man unloads his frustrations and his views on Black Lives Matter, the NFL anthem protests. There are even potshots taken against 2Pac and Eminem.
Then the black man reacts. He takes on white privilege, cultural appropriation, and attacks against former President Barack Obama." - CNN news paper. And thrroughout the song both of the men insist "I'm not Racist".
Here is a link for the break down of the music video: https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/29/entertainment/joyner-lucas-not-racist-video-trnd/index.html (Please note that media outlets like these can be biased and CNN has been known to be biased so use caution and double check your info.)
Both of these men used the music platform to spread awareness of the political matters of the people in the United States.

Which propaganda technique is being used in the following statement? "My opponent is much younger than I, and has not learned to be responsible enough to do this job."
Answer:
Ad hominem.
Explanation:
Propaganda techniques are the devices or techniques used to attack one's opponents. Such techniques are used to influence the readers or listeners, in the hope of appealing to their desires and support.
The given statement is an example of ad hominem because it makes a personal attack on the opponent rather than the argument. The speaker talks of the young age of his opponent, which he states, makes him unsuitable for the job. This argument is based on the capability of the opponent and a personal attack, which makes the whole statement invalid.
Thus, the correct answer is ad hominem.

The difference between the present reservoir, with its silent
sterile shores and debris-choked side canyons, and the
original Glen Canyon, is the difference between death and
life. Glen Canyon was alive. Lake Powell is a graveyard.
Which word best contributes to the author's sad tone?
A. alive
B. shores
C. graveyard
D. reservoir
The line "Lake Powell is a graveyard" is the one that most effectively conveys the author's sad tone. Thus, option C is correct.
What words best describe a depressing tone?The word choice stands in stark contrast to the prior description of Glen Canyon as being "alive," which is vivid and passionate. The tone of the author is depressing since they are grieving the destruction of the ecosystem brought on by the construction of Lake Powell as well as the loss of the original Glen Canyon.
These expressions elicit an emotional reaction from the reader by communicating feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or grief. The name "graveyard" implies that the once-thriving Glen Canyon is now a dead and dismal location, which evokes a sense of finality and loss.
Therefore, we can conclude that option C is correct.
