How does the authors' comparison of successful college dropouts and successful college graduates contributes to the central idea of the text? Use details from the text to support your response.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The central idea of this text is that there is a higher chance of succeeding with a college degree than when a student drops out. The author showed through statistics from his research that among those who were seen as successful, the higher percentage graduated from school while a very insignificant figure were dropouts.

Explanation:

Through research conducted on more than 11,000 successful people in the United States, the results show that the higher percentage graduated from colleges. 94% of U.S leaders graduated from colleges, while 50% of these graduated from elite colleges. So, among those who graduated from colleges, the majority of successful individuals graduated from elite colleges.

The author stated that the fact that people like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg were dropouts from colleges but were still super successful is a rare occurrence and should never be a reason why a student would decide not to go to school.

4) Headaches can have several causes. Many people think that the major cause
of head-ache is nervous tension, but there is strong evidence that suggests diet
and environmental possible factors. Some people get headaches because they
are dependent on caffeine. Other people may be allergic to salt, or they may
have low blood sugar. Still, other people are allergic to household chemicals
including polishes, waxes, bug killers, and paint. If they can manage to avoid
these substances, their headaches tend to go away. When a person has

Although many people confuse yoga with Pilates, these are, in fact, very different practices. Pilates is a form of fitness program while yoga is more of a lifestyle. Popularly practiced physical exercises like asanas of yoga aim on creating a harmony between mind, body, and spirit. Yoga is a form of meditation that whole the body helps achieve through breathing, balance, and relaxation. Yogis of ancient India practiced yoga to unite and heal the mind and body. All one needs to practice yoga is a knowledgeable instructor and willingness. This ancient tradition is being practiced in various forms all over the world.
Pilates was also developed for healing purposes. Joseph Pilates, a German self-defense instructor, developed a system of exercise in early twentieth-century England. Joseph rigged springs to hospital beds and enabled patients to exercise. To this day, Pilates makes a use of machines to develop abdominal strength, lengthen the spine, and improve balance. Many ballet dancers practiced Pilates when Joseph moved to America. Today, it is a very popular system of exercise.

from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with
awe. I knew the sound well. Many a night, just at
midnight, when all the world slept, it has welled up
from my own bosom, deepening, with its dreadful
echo, the terrors that distracted me. I say I knew it
well. I knew what the old man felt, and pitied him,

B Terror and Fear

as the paragraph mentions

*ahem* "groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of pain or of"

and "echo, the terrors that distracted me. I say I knew it"

shall hint to the reader the idea of this passage

this will remove A Upbeat ending as a correct option

reading the full passage at the half/end, It doesn't seem as a life or death so we can also remove D life or death as an option it may see, that way but it doesn't really give us a sight of death or live blossoming

and C a unsolved mystery

doesn't appear to be one, it may give us that thought at the beginning

How does the author foreshadow, hint at, the changes that will occur in jaun's personality and his life ? Provide examples of foreshadowing along with the changes they foretell

Answers

Answer:

One foreshadowing act is when he reported the fellow worker who tried to organize a strike, leading to Juan's promotion. Again, he also states that "You don't form a habit by doing something once", which he proved wrong. These two examples are part of the factors that lead up to his 'power greed' and eventually led to his execution from his self-censored letter.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique that writers employ to provide hints about what will happen in future scenes. This allows the readers to have a sense of suspense, foreboding, and expectant about what is to happen to the character(s).

In the short story "The Censors" by Luisa Valenzuela, the authoritative regime of the government in censoring the letters of the people through a "Censor's Secret Command" shows the level of freedom the people are subjected to. And Juan, the protagonist of the story, also gets involved in the 'power play' where he, at first wants to join the Command only to ensure the safety of his letter to Mariana who has escaped to Paris. But once affiliated with the job, he gets dragged into the world of the 'power' the post/ job provides. And eventually, he brought his own death when he censors his letter so much that it was seized by the government and the writer/sender executed.

Some examples of foreshadowing are when he states "You don't form a habit by doing something once" which he proved wrong. Moreover, his act of turning in his colleague, who "tried to organize a strike to demand higher wages for unhealthy work" is another foreshadowing. This is because by turning in the guy, he got promoted which led him to get into higher posts where he eventually brought about his own downfall and is executed.

Answer:

Hamlet is the main character and protagonist in the play “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare.  Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark.  He is the son of Queen Gertrude and King Hamlet, who was murdered by his uncle Claudius.  Hamlet is a very unique individual and handles many situations in unusual ways.  Hamlet is an extremely intriguing and complex character that appears to change with every different perspective. Shakespeare has done an absolutely fantastic job with capturing true human characteristics with Hamlet.  Hamlet bounces back and forth with his emotions so inconsistently that one never knows what he is about to do next.  One moment he is rational, and the next he is not.  One moment he wants to plan things out, and then he does things. The ghost made the whole situation for Hamlet seem even that much more unreal.  He already wished that all of the recent events he had to deal with were not real.  He then has to deal with the reality of this ghost.  It seems to influence him terribly and takes a negative toll on his emotions.  This occurrence continues to further diversify Hamlet’s feelings and emotions (Snider, 67).  The last major external influence is the company of others (Snider, 71).  How hamlet responded had a lot to do with the actions done by others and himself.  A person’s environment greatly affects how they handle oneself and situations around them.  Due to Hamlet’s extremely ludicrous environment and unusual circumstances, he is just that much more of a complicated and elaborate character (Bristol). Another major thing that contributed to Hamlet’s complexity was his utter hatred towards Claudius.  From the get go Hamlet never liked him.  He felt Claudius was immoral and almost worthless.  After the ghost of his father told Hamlet that Claudius was responsible for his death, he hated his uncle just that much more.  That hatred soon turned into something much more though.  It transformed into a desire for revenge.  Before he did anything though,  he had to be positive that Claudius was the one responsible, so Hamlet tested his innocence.  Claudius failed the test and Hamlet was then positive that he was responsible for the murder of his father (Mitchell, 34-37).

What is the theme of Hamlet?

The story hamlet explores the theme like madness, revenge as well as the friendship.

In William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," Hamlet is the primary character and protagonist. The Prince of Denmark is Hamlet. He is the son of Queen Gertrude and King Hamlet, the latter of whom was assassinated by his uncle Claudius.

Hamlet is a one-of-a-kind character who reacts to different events in odd ways. Hamlet is a fascinating and nuanced figure who appears to alter depending on the viewpoint.

Shakespeare has done an outstanding job of expressing actual human traits in Hamlet. Hamlet's emotions fluctuate so dramatically that it's impossible to predict what he'll do next. He is sensible one minute and not the next. He likes to think things out one moment and then act on them the next.

Explanation:

Just took quiz on edge :) good luck!

The author and the page number are the information should he include in the MLA in-text citation. Hence, options A and F are correct.

What is MLA in-text citation?

In MLA in-text citations, the last name of the author and the page number where the quotation or paraphrase is taken are used, for example. If the source doesn't use page numbers, leave it out of the parenthetical citation.

An MLA website citation includes the name of the author, the title of the page, the name of the website the date the work was published, and the URL. If it's unclear who the author is, start with the page's title.

When using the APA style, cite sources in-text using the author-date format. For example, this necessitates the inclusion of the author's last name and the year the source was published in the text.

Thus, options A and F are correct.
