Read the following excerpt from an argumentative essay. Answer the question that follows:
Critics might say that smartphones in the classroom cause too many distractions. A 2009 article in Education Magazine made just such a claim. Although cell phones can certainly cause distractions, current research suggests that teachers and students are putting phones to better use. A 2013 Educator Insider poll reveals that 67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom setting. Students without phones are actually at a disadvantage in the classroom. The poll lists Internet access, spell checks, and collaboration as three key uses of smart phones in an educational setting.

How does the author handle the counterclaim?

a
The author chooses to concede the point and offers no rebuttal.
b
The author offers an opinion discounting the counterclaim.
c
The author ignores the counterclaim and avoids responding.
d
The author supplies a rebuttal that quotes more current research.

Answers

Answer 1
D would be the answer as the author uses the counterclaim to show how phones have now better improved students behaviors with cellphones and no longer as seen as distractions but rather as advantages for the classroom setting
Answer 2
The answer is D
The author supplies a rebuttal that quotes more current research

How does the information in your model differ from the food web? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each model?

here is mine

Answers

Answer:

Food Web

Advantage: The food web shows specific relationships between species using arrows.

Disadvantages

The food web doesn’t indicate the energy levels.

The food web doesn’t show that the energy initially comes from the Sun.

The food web doesn’t show the presence of decomposers.

Pyramid

Advantages

The pyramid shows the source of energy as the Sun. It also indicates a decrease in energy retention as it progresses to higher levels.

The pyramid shows decomposers at every level.

Disadvantage: The pyramid lumps the organisms into producers, consumers, and decomposers without showing their specific diets.

Explanation:

Read the paragraph below, look for the big idea.

Many flowers are what we call annuals. Their entire life cycle — from seed to death — takes just one year. They might leave behind sleeping seeds that could sprout again in the future, but the flowers, roots, stems and leaves all fade away as soon as the season is done. Sunflowers and petunias are examples of annuals. Some plants technically last a little longer, but not in a way humans can truly appreciate. Biennials take two years to start flowering instead of shooting up in a single spring. But they still wither and die once the flowers are gone. One to look for is a foxglove, a tall plant with clusters of bell-shaped blooms, often in pink or purple. Then there are perennials, which can survive for years. Scientists believe these types of plants came first.

What is the main idea the author is trying to make about plants?

Perennials are a special type of plant

Scientists think perennials are the first type of plant that existed.

Plants have different life cycles depending on the type of plant.

There are different names for plants

These characters often have qualities that readers may already have or wish they had. Imagine that you're writing a novel in your favorite genre (for example, adventure, science fiction, mystery). Describe the characters, setting, and plot of the novel. Who would be the protagonist, or main character, of your story? What qualities would this character have? Do you possess any of these qualities? Do you wish you had any of these qualities.

The plot is about demons conquering the realm and the character is a very powerful magic holder.
The character that I always dreamt of is someone who is kind, brave and always puts others first. They are calm and rarely gets angry. When they are angry they would be very quiet, almost not saying a word. They are also very funny when they are with their friends. They are good listeners and they are smart. They are diligent students and respectful.

By the time I was in high school, I was a popular kid, and it showed in my name. Friends called me Jules or Hey Jude, and once a group of troublemaking friends my mother forbade me to hang out with called me Alcatraz. I was Hoo-lee-tah only to Mami and Papi and uncles and aunts who came over to eat sancocho on Sunday afternoons – old world folk whom I would just as soon go back to where they came from and leave me to pursue whatever mischief I wanted to in America. JUDY ALCATRAZ, the name on the "Wanted" poster would read. Who would ever trace her to me?

Julia is determined to hold on to her Dominican identity.
Julia is happier when she is with her family.
Julia’s Dominican name makes it difficult to fit in.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The main idea conveyed in the passage is Julia’s nicknames help her fit into her new culture.  The opening line of the chapter claims that Julia was a popular student in high school and that her name reflected such popularity.  Hence option A is correct.

Her close pals referred to her as Hey Jude or Jules, both of which are American names. The paragraph also indicates that she was given the nickname Alcatraz by a bunch of rowdy friends, which is an Americanized form of her Dominican name, Hoo-lee-tah.

The chapter continues by stating that Julia's family members referred to her as Hoo-lee-tah, although she would just as soon have them return home. This shows that Julia is attempting to adapt to American society while putting space between herself and her Dominican roots.
