Read the excerpt from Silent Spring. On the farms the hens brooded, but no chicks hatched. The farmers complained that they were unable to raise any pigs—the litters were small and the young survived only a few days. The apple trees were coming into bloom but no bees droned among the blossoms, so there was no pollination and there would be no fruit. The repetition of the word "no" in this excerpt helps create a tone of

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The repetition of the word "no" helps create a tone of doom.

Explanation:

Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" is an environmental work of literature that focuses on the need to save, conserve and take care of the environment. The author also reveals the negative effects of chemicals like pesticides and how such uses are affecting the environment.

In the given excerpt from the text, the author describes the effects of chemicals on farm life. She reveals, "no chicks hatched, ... no bees droned ... no pollination ... no fruit." The repeated word "no" expresses a negative impact that the farm is suffering from.

Thus, the repeated use of the word "no" shows or expresses a sense of doom.

“Fortunately, after fine-tuning the state budget, the governor’s office was able to reinstate the aid money for area school districts.”

Explanation:

The underlined words and phrases have strong negative connotations. How do they support the author’s purpose?

They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.
They show that there is a desperate need for all countries to be willing to help refugees.
They show that the United States has participated in international conventions on how to handle the refugee crisis.
They make it clear that the United States will lose the respect of other nations if it does not help these children.

Answers

This question is missing the excerpt. I was able to find the complete question online. The excerpt is the following:

Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars."

By sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence," says José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa, an expert in Honduras with World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian aid group. This abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. It would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since October, many of them legitimate refugees.

Answer:

They support the author's purpose because:

A. They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.

Explanation:

Sonia Nazario, born in 1960, is an American writer winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of "Children of the Drug Wars."

In the passage we are analyzing here, even without the underlined words, we can see the United States' attitude toward refugee children is being criticized. Yes, there is a refugee crisis, and the author acknowledges that when she mentions the staggering number of 52,000 children who have come to America. However, she also makes it clear that sending them away will end up killing them. Going back to their countries, where drug wars are raging, will do them no good. Also, by doing so, America's reputation will be in jeopardy.

With that in mind, the best option is letter A. They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.

Raising backyard chickens puts people and the food
supply at unnecessary risk. For example, in 2017 the

1,120 cases of salmonella linked to backyard poultry
farming. Indeed, hundreds of outbreaks of salmonella
every year are associated with backyard poultry.
Backyard birds can also spread diseases that affect

operators having to euthanize more than 3 million birds.
Why take such risks just so some urban residents can

4. When you are done with the words you are certain of, go slow with the ones you are left with. Read the sentences again, try different words, and choose the one that best fits the context.

Is social media "devouring" my privacy?

I always thought that I was a discrete person who did not like other people to what is going on in my personal life or in my family.

Sure, I have my profile on some social media sites, but just to connect with friends. Not a frequent user, just to have fun.

Oh my God!

Just by clicking some ads, just by connecting with some other "unknown friend" here and there, and posting some silly information. suddenly, people started to talk about me, asked for more information, and commented on my activities.

Now I am thinking of canceling my profiles.

Unfortunately, the kind of discourse that social media reward exacerbates tribalism, racism, cyberbullying, conspiracy theories, and some more.

Yes, social media allows the connection of everybody, instantly. That is such good news and bad news too. Good, if it is used to inform objectively. Bad, if it used to broadcast fake news or relative truths that create doubt and confusion in the audiences.

The kind of discourse that social media reward is the one that creates controversy, so it can impact millions of people, and starts trivial conversations that get nowhere. And in the middle of that, the invasion of your privacy.

Social media exacerbate tribalism, racism, cyberbullying, and other conduct. People assume the role of "experts" who have the right of expressing their "authorized" opinion, sharing questionable information that only assumes, instead of inform, and only confuse instead of delivering the truth.
