Climate change is not the greatest threat to humanity debate
Answer: This is presented as a Anti-Global Warming Action Debate
Here’s what many people believe: One: The planet is warming catastrophically because of certain human behaviors.
Thanks to powerful computers we can project what the climate will be like 20, 40, or even 100 years from now.
For example, government reports state clearly that heat waves in the US are now no more common than they were in 1900. Floods have not increased across the globe over more than seventy years. Greenland’s ice sheet isn’t shrinking any more rapidly today than it was 80 years ago. Why aren’t these reassuring facts better known?
Because the public gets its climate information almost exclusively from the media. And from a media perspective, fear sells. “Things aren’t that bad” doesn’t sell. Very few people, and that includes journalists who report on climate news, read the actual science. I have. Yes, there are human influences, but the climate is complex. Anyone who says that climate models are “just physics” either doesn’t understand them or is being deliberately misleading. Natural fluctuations in the height and coverage of clouds have at least as much of an impact on the flows of sunlight and heat as do human influences. But how can we possibly know global cloud coverage say 10, let alone 50 years from now? Obviously, we can’t. But to create a climate model, we have to make assumptions. That’s a pretty shaky foundation on which to transform the world’s economy.
Answer: This is presented as a Pro-Global Warming Action Debate (against above)
At present, climate change is the most discussed topic in the world. Climate change means a change in the world’s climate. Now we see different kinds of irregular behavior in the world climate, including frequent natural calamities and heatwaves. Oceans are warming and becoming acidic, icebergs are melting and thus sea levels are rising. All of these changes will increase more shortly. That will be a great challenge for us to exist on earth. There are many causes of climate change. Firstly, global warming is the main reason for it. Though global warming is thought to be the main reason, other reasons increase global warming. The emission of Carbon dioxide mainly causes global warming. During the last century, human activities released a large amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases around the earth are like a blanket covering the earth. The heat and energy produced from the earth are being trapped. Thus the earth is becoming warmer. This is called the greenhouse effect which is necessary to support life on earth. Secondly, the burning of fossil fuels, the smoke of mills and factories, and environmental pollution are responsible for producing carbon dioxide and other gases. These gases ultimately cause climate change. Thirdly, the destruction of forests intensifies global warming and causes ecological imbalance. There are many causes of climate change.

Which best describes the diction in""Ain’t i a woman?""
Answer:
The diction in "Ain't I a Woman?" is informal and relatable. In her speech, Sojourner Truth, highlights on the idea that women are equal to the men and so equality of work and pay should be given to them
Explanation:
In the fictional world of Utopialand, there is no government. All people
are considered equal, and no one can own land or possessions
privately. While this scenario has eliminated many problems from
society, it has created new ones. Since there is no law, there is no
punishment for crimes. People inflict any consequences they choose
on those who have offended them. This causes people to live in
constant fear of victimization and retaliation.
In part of the story, a main character finds that the crops he has been growing
for his family have been eaten by others, leaving his family with nothing.
Which statement best explains how this plot event develops the theme that
people need rules in order to live together in peace?
A. It shows that rules are often unfair and don't help all people
equally.
B. It shows that lawlessness actually hurts people in real ways.
C. It shows that hungry people are desperate and should not be
judged
Answer:
B. It shows that lawlessness actually hurts people in real ways.
Explanation:
If there is no food for the main character's family, then how will they eat? They will starve to death and if they steal from someone, since there is no law, they could be murdered as there is no consequence. Either way, laws may restrict many things, but it can help give people what they truly deserve.

PLZ HURRY Respond to D.H. Lawrence “Piano”
Answer:
Connotation: By using words like “cozy” and “tinkling piano” and “flood of remembrance” and “softly” and “with winter outside”, D.H. Lawrence paints this beautiful scene of a comfortable childhood. It makes the piano seem more inviting. Lawrence makes use of several literary devices in ‘Piano.’ They include but are not limited to: Enjambment: when the poet cuts off a line before its natural stopping point. For example, the transition between lines one, two, and three of the second stanza. Caesura: occurs when the poet uses a pause in the middle of a line, either through the use of punctuation or meter. For example, “With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour” in the final stanza. Alliteration: occurs when the poet uses the same consonant sounds at the beginning of words. For example, “poised” and “pressing” in stanza one and “parlour” and “piano” at the end of stanza two.
Attitude: Our hearts reach out as we read this. All of us are tempted to “weep like a child for the past.” The smallest picture or memory can immerse us in a pool of nostalgia and days later, we are still drying off. Music has such a powerful effect on people. The brain can link certain songs to memories or even smells and sights. Hearing a song that you haven’t heard for 20 years can shake the rust off of old memories and open a “flood of remembrance.” He doesn’t really sound bitter… just sad.
Shift: The shift occurs between the second and third paragraphs. Lawrence is through recounting the mental image that he sees and steps back into the present tense. It's a powerful change in the content and tone. It's crucial shifts like these that allow us to see the true purpose and meaning behind the poem. True poets employ masterful shifts in their work and it takes a diligent reading to catch them and analyze them.
Title: Many who play the piano have strong feelings attached to it. Lawrence is a very pensive poet, and it's easy to see his opinions and emotional attachment to the piano. Knowing Lawrence, however, there are also will be layered meanings and hidden metaphors in the poem. Lawrence uses the piano to symbolize his childhood. You can almost get the impression that he might have stopped playing or never learned to play the piano as he got older. Now, looking back, he regrets that decision. Life was so simple, black and white, just like the piano, but now, it has become so complex and so cruel.
Theme: An analysis of "Piano" by D. H. Lawrence shows that he is trying to tell others to take advantage of every moment that you have. Life is so precious. Youth truly is wasted on the young. He wants us to try to appreciate each moment for what it truly is and to look at things from a wider perspective. He wants us to recognize and appreciate the the way things smell, sound, feel. Small details are amazing.

Which details from the text best highlight the contradiction between men’s perception of women as physically and emotionally weak and women’s reality?
Select the two correct answers.
"As to the possibility of her filling with grace and dignity any government or leadership position, we should think those who had seen the great actresses, and heard the Quaker preachers of modern times, would not doubt that Woman can express publicly the fullness of thought and creation, without losing any of the peculiar beauty of her sex."
"We need not try to measure how often this happens. For who can review the experience of just the last week without recalling words which imply, whether in jest or earnest, these views, or views like these."
"Not only does the Native American woman carry the burdens of the camp, but the favorites of Louis XIV accompany him in his journeys, and the washerwoman stands at her tub, and carries home her work at all seasons, and in all states of health."
"By ascertaining the true destiny of Woman; giving her legitimate hopes, and a standard within herself; marriage and all other relations would by degrees be harmonized with these rights."
Answer:
"As to the possibility of her filling with grace and dignity any government or leadership position, we should think those who had seen the great actresses, and heard the Quaker preachers of modern times, would not doubt that Woman can express publicly the fullness of thought and creation, without losing any of the peculiar beauty of her sex."
"Not only does the Native American woman carry the burdens of the camp, but the favorites of Louis XIV accompany him in his journeys, and the washerwoman stands at her tub, and carries home her work at all seasons, and in all states of health."
The details from the text best highlight the contradiction between men’s perceptions of women are-
Women can communicate openly the completeness of thinking and creation without sacrificing any of the special beauty of their nature, therefore I have no doubts that she could fill any leadership or government post with grace and dignity.
Not only does the Native American woman carry the burdens of the camp, but the favorites of Louis XIV accompany him in his journeys, and the washerwoman stands at her tub, and carries home her work at all seasons, and in all states of health."
What is Perception?A perception is referred to as an opinion formed by an individual based on the situation that occurs in front of them. This perception is based on their understanding of what they see and interpret.
The above-selected options define the women's perception think by men as physically and emotionally weak and women's reality and their position in the world.

For an introductory paragraph here’s what I’d write:
Volunteering in your community is something everyone should try to do at least once in their life. It’ll help out the community despite how small it is! Not only that, but will it apply something good to your record, but colleges will look at that and take that into consideration. Which would boost the acceptance percentage closer to your favor. Volunteer work also can just make more people put trust into you from around the community. In conclusion, volunteer work is something we need more people to help out in, and to help the community.
Explanation:
Now, I’m aware this may not be the best example, but I’ll provide a context below as to why it’s written weirdly like this.
As you’re writing this in a perspective of a student for a positive stand point of community volunteer work, your goal in this paragraph is to favor that making it a persuasive paragraph to get more people in the favor of volunteer work in the community. (If that makes sense).

What type of figurative language is “and he’s gotta be larger than life”?
Answer:
the answer is hyperbole
Answer: Metaphor
Explanation:
1. Simile
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things and uses the words “like” or “as” and they are commonly used in everyday communication. A simile is used with the aim of sparking an interesting connection in the reader’s mind.
An example of a simile is, “The cat sat in the chair like a king overlooking his kingdom.” The cat’s sitting posture is compared to that of a king who relaxes in a special chair that is reserved for him and not any other person in the kingdom.
Other examples of similes include:
The boy was as brave as a lion in the jungle.
The assistant was as busy as a bee when she was preparing the podium for the presidential address.
The new teacher is as tall as a giraffe.
The new neighbor is as curious as a cat; nothing escapes her attention.
2. Metaphor
A metaphor is a statement that compares two things that are not alike. Unlike similes, metaphors do not use the words “like” or “as.” Such statements only make sense when the reader understands the connection between the two things being compared.
An example of a popular metaphor is “Time is money.” The statement compares time and money, and it does not literally mean that the amount of time you have equals the money that you have. Instead, it means that time is a valuable resource, and it should be used effectively to earn money. Any time wasted means that a person loses the chance to make more money.
Other examples of metaphors include:
The warrior has a heart of stone.
Love is a battlefield.
Baby, you are my sunshine.
Chaos is a friend of the legislator.
I am drowning in a sea of grief.
My roommate is going through a rollercoaster of emotions.
3. Hyperbole
Hyperbole is an exaggeration that is created to emphasize a point or bring out a sense of humor. It is often used in everyday conversations without the speaker noticing it. The exaggeration is so outrageous that no one would believe that it is true. It is used to add depth and color to a statement.
An example of hyperbole is, “I would die for you.” The sentence does not necessarily mean that one person is literally willing to die for the other, but it used to exaggerate the amount of love that one person has for another person. Death is only used to show the extent of affection.
Other examples of hyperbole:
I have told you a million times to wash the dishes.
You are so slender that the wind can carry you away.
The afternoon is so bright that the sun would have to wear sunglasses.
You snore like a freight train.
4. Personification
Personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-living objects. Using personification affects the way readers imagine things, and it sparks an interest in the subject.
An example of personification is, “The sun greeted me when I woke up in the morning.” The sun is a non-human object but has been given human characteristics since greetings can only be performed by living creatures.
Other examples of personification include:
April is the cruelest month of the year.
The radio stared at me.
The car brakes screamed all through the journey.
The car stopped with a groaning complaint.
5. Synecdoche
Synecdoche is a type of figurative language that uses one part to refer to the whole, or the whole to refer to the part. For example, a set of wheels can be used to refer to a vehicle and a suit to refer to a businessman. When referring to a car as a set of wheels, the wheels are only a part of the car and not the whole thing. Similarly, a typical businessman wears a suit alongside other accessories such as a watch and a briefcase.
Other examples of synecdoche include:
Bread can be used to refer to food in general or money.
Head can refer to counting cattle or people.
Hired hands can be used to refer to workers.
6. Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is a language that names something or an action by imitating the sound associated with it. They add some reality to the writing. Examples of onomatopoeia include:
The fireplace heater hissed and cracked.
The truck engine roared as it climbed the hill.
The alarm clock buzzed at the time I was going to the bathroom.

WOMEN IN ENGLISH SOCIETY (IN SHAKESPEARE'S TIME)
3. Describe the public humiliations - carting, bridling, ducking stools, etc. - women faced for speaking their mind in public
or asserting too much authority over their husbands, upsetting the presumed social, divine, and even cosmic order.
Answer:
Cucking stools or ducking stools were chairs formerly used for punishment of disorderly women, scolds, and dishonest tradesmen in England, Scotland,[1] and elsewhere.[2] The cucking-stool was a form of wymen pine, or "women's punishment," as referred to in Langland's Piers Plowman (1378). They were instruments of public humiliation and censure both primarily for the offense of scolding or backbiting and less often for sexual offences like bearing an illegitimate child or prostitution.
The stools were technical devices which formed part of the wider method of law enforcement through social humiliation. A common alternative was a court order to recite one’s crimes or sins after Mass or in the market place on market day or informal action such as a Skimmington ride. They were usually of local manufacture with no standard design. Most were simply chairs into which the offender could be tied and exposed at her door or the site of her offence. Some were on wheels like a tumbrel that could be dragged around the parish. Some were put on poles so that they could be plunged into water, hence "ducking" stool. Stocks or pillories were similarly used for the punishment of men or women by humiliation.
The term "cucking-stool" is older, with written records dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. Written records for the name "ducking stool" appear from 1597, and a statement in 1769 relates that "ducking-stool" is a corruption of the term "cucking-stool".[3] Whereas a cucking-stool could be and was used for humiliation with or without dunking the person in water, the name "ducking-stool" came to be used more specifically for those cucking-stools on an oscillating plank which were used to duck the person into water

What are the uses of direct and indirect speech?The main distinction between direct and indirect speaking is that the former uses' quotation marks around the precise words used, whereas the latter uses your own words.
Given that it only entails repeating what has already been spoken, direct speaking is relatively easy to use and understand.
Direct speech is used to summarize or rather repeat what the speaker or writer has said in the manner in which they have said it.
Therefore, In contrast, indirect speech refers to how you tell someone else what they said without necessarily using their same words.
