Blair Apologizes for Katrina Response
Britons who felt "deserted" by embassy staff during Hurricane Katrina received an apology from
Prime Minister Tony Blair today.
Blair was reacting to complaints by survivors of Katrina that the response to their situation had
been painfully inadequate.
Blair apologized, but assured survivors of the Hurricane that they had not been deserted. In fact,
Blair said, embassy staff had been working "day and night" in an attempt to reach Britons
trapped in a New Orleans Superdome stadium.


Which best states the purpose of this article excerpt?


A. to persuade readers not to blame British diplomats

B. to convince readers to help British survivors

C. to explain to readers why Britons were "deserted

D. to inform readers about Blair's apology

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: D. to inform readers about Blair's apology

Explanation:

The article excerpt provides information about Blair's apology in an unbiased way, meaning that it doesn´t intend to convince the reader of whether an apology was in order or not.

Option A is incorrect because the idea that British diplomats had allegedly been working non-stop is how Blair, and not the article, intends to persuade people not to blame them. Option B is incorrect because the article doesn´t ask or even hint for people to help British survivors. Option C is incorrect because the article is not meant to explain why Britons were deserted, but to inform how Blair considers they were not deserted at all.

Which details of Beatty's account of firemen make it credible/incredible? Is his account a history or simply a fable meant to influence Montag's behavior?

Answers

Beatty presents real facts about society, which Montag can recognize as true. This makes his speech believable, but he manipulates the information in the speech to influence Montag's behavior.

According to the context of the question, we can see that you are referring to the book "Fahrenheit 451" where we are introduced to a society where books are banned and burned by firefighters.

Montag is one of those firefighters, but after having access to a few books, he begins to question whether his profession acts correctly and whether books, in fact, need to be banned and burned.

Upon realizing this, Captain Beatty, who is the captain of the firehouse to which Montag is a part, gives a long speech, showing why the books were burned and how the firefighters' work began.

Beatty shows that books allowed people to perceive their realities, have ideas, feel sad about situations they cannot change and contend with each other because of different ideas.

He says that the thinking triggered by the books made people unhappy and that was socially disadvantageous. For that reason, the work of firefighters is so important.

Montag recognizes that books are capable of providing questions and interpretations of reality that do not always develop happiness and, therefore, realizes that Beatty's speech is believable.

However Beautty manipulates the information in the speech, without showing that through books society has knowledge and freedom and these are the main basements of happiness. This manipulation is done to influence Montag to behave in favor of firefighters and against books.

why?
Radio Mullah puts in so much effort to discourage people from going to school?

please please help me please help me ​

Answers

Answer:

Because he wants to keep people under his rule and within the ideology he wants to impose.

Explanation:

Radio Mullah is an Islamic extremist, cited many times in the book "I am Malala" as one of the main harbingers of Taliban rule in Afghanistan. Malala claims that Radio Mullah had a radio show, where he presented highly conservative and extremist, unscientific, oppressive and incorrect concepts. He was strongly against education, especially for women, and was even capable of bombing schools and killing people who took a stand against him.

He knew that fighting education was the main weapon for him to be able to control the population and make everyone follow their will, because the lack of education made people believe in everything they heard and did not have the ability to question and opine against wrong things. As such, Radio Mullah knew that a population without eucation was easily manipulated and that was his goal.

"I am Malala" is the book that tells the story of Malala, the Muslim girl who fought the Taliban for the right to study.

Select one:
O a metaphor.
O b. asyndeton.
O c. hyperbole.
O d. allusion

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or stylistic figure. Hyperbole can also be used in cases of such exaggerations for emphasis or effect. Hyperbole is often used in informal speech as an amplifier, such as saying "the bag weighed a ton." Hyperbole indicates that the speaker found a bag that was extremely heavy, although it was nothing like a literal ton. Understanding hyperbole and its use in context can further enhance the ability to understand the messages sent by the speaker. The use of hyperbole generally conveys feelings or emotions from the speaker, or from those the speaker is talking about. Hyperbole can be used in the form of humor, excitement, trouble and many other emotions, all depending on the context used by the speaker.

Answers

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: a. Met / was reading / sat

We met each other one day while John was reading a book in the library and I sat down beside him.

Explanation:

Out of the options provided, only the chosen one correctly uses the verb tense for the missing words in the sentence: all the actions happened in the past.

Option c is incorrect because it uses the present tense (meet) and the past perfect (have sat) as if the act of sitting had happened before they met.  

Option b. is incorrect because both actions, meeting, and seating, are in the past perfect tense, so there is an action that should happen after that that is missing.

Option d. is incorrect because the act of meeting happens in the future.
