Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Nina was always a mysterious figure in the family: beautiful as a movie star, cosmopolitan and elegant, with wide Slavic cheeks. She spoke only Russian, though she lived much of her adult life in Tel Aviv. There were rumors that she came from nobility and that she had once been very rich. She and Avram were thought of as a glamorous couple—he the charming man with his head in the clouds (in Yiddish the word for that kind of person is luftmensh, "air man''), she the mysterious beauty who had given up everything to be with him.

Which statements best describe the author’s purpose for writing this passage? Select two options.

to present background information about Nina
to create a sense of suspense about Nina’s future
to intrigue the reader with details about Nina
to show how Nina was able to mislead people
to persuade the reader that Nina was rich

Hence, these gives an more details about Nina

what problems would be solved by selecting a moderator to enforce time limit on each student turn to speak during a discussion ?

Answers

The correct answer is D. The problem of not all students having a chance to share their opinion.

Explanation

During a discussion, all students must participate and give their opinion or position on a specific topic. However, usually in student groups, some talk for a long time taking time away from other students to intervene. This is a problem in a discussion as it would prevent knowing all the opinions and positions of all the students. Therefore, it would be pertinent to have a person in charge of moderating the time of each student's turn to speak during the discussion. According to the above, the correct answer is D. The problem of not all students having a chance to share their opinion.

Dear John,

How are you and how is your family over there in Nigeria? Hope everyone is okay.

As you are well aware, I've just written my WAEC exams which gives me the platform to gain admission into a higher institute of learning.

I plan to study Medicine and Surgery and become like the hero we always dreamed of when we were kids - Kwadwo Asamoah -, helping the sick get better and the society better as a whole.

I applied to the prestigious University of Accra, Ghana which I think is the best place possible for me to learn and become a competent doctor and surgeon. I have already gotten the school brochure and started preliminary studies and would appreciate your help in the financial aspects of my education like you already promised.

I appreciate your assistance and hope to come down to Nigeria and see you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Prince Appiah.

What are the two of the major educational philosophies? Which of the two do you agree with or relate to the most?

Answers

Answer:

Perennialism and Essentialism

Essentialism is a philosophy that pleases me most.

Explanation:

Perennialism and Essentialism are the two most comprehensive and important educational philosophies in Western society. their importance is seen due to the influence that each one had in the educational systems developed over the years and the changes that took place in society with the implementation of each of these philosophies.

In summary, we can say that Perennialism reinforced the idea that education had a duty to present to students the great ideas of Western civilization, showing the existence of classical concepts and ideas that, although archaic, were very influential in the construction of thought human. Essentialism, on the other hand, believed eucation should be able to transmit knowledge from teacher to student in a very organized, systematic, and disciplined way.

For me, Essentialism is a philosophy that pleases me most, as the discipline and organization must, in fact, be present in an academic and educational environment, as it allows an order to be established so that knowledge is transmitted correctly. Furthermore, both the human being and society are systems that are constantly evolving. Education must follow this evolution and readjust whenever necessary, for this reason, the Perennialism philosophy is not able to be used in today's world, since it encourages the use of old, archaic and outdated educational approaches.

is there anyone into poetry who would share some tips and tell me about the types of poem you love?​

Answers

Personally, I write poems directly from the heart and mind. From the heart means, put your soul into it, what do you feel at the moment? What are your current emotions? Once you identify your emotions you try to describe them. You can do this by looking up at a dictionary the several words that exist from A-Z it might take a long time, but it’s important to dedicate time to search up the correct words which are exact or come close to what you are feeling. Next, to not feel like you are using a same word over and over again you might consider using a thesaurus. And, you might surprise yourself that some similar words end up being different. Another thing, at least, I do it is that I keep a journal filled with ideas for future poems. A specific pattern, a certain theme, words that touch the depths of the soul. The types of poems I love are about narration or romance and they can be either free verse or of any pattern.
