Answer 1

Answer:

King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba are used as an allusion.  This allusion describes how much the watch and hair comb mean to Jim and Della.  These 2 people are not rich and they feel as rich as the Queen of Sheba.  The items are just as much as they can give each other...nothing more...no money.  These items in reality could never be "worth" all of the queen's jewels.  But, to these two lovers, it is the best gift of all.  Giving of something that means something to you, has value, and is cherished.

Which claim does the following piece of evidence best support?
Claim A: The school day should not be lengthened, because as life becomes more stressful, the students need downtime more than ever.
Claim B: Now that students need to know more than ever before we need a longer school day to cover everything.
Evidence: Our school has recently added four new graduation requirements: computer literacy, health and nutrition, drivers ed, and a foreign language.

Answers

Answer:

A. Claim B, because it provides evidence that schools have to cover more subjects.

Explanation:

The evidence supports Claim B more than it does Claim A because logically since there are more subjects added to the graduation requirements, you would need more hours in the school day to go finish these subjects in addition to the pre-existing ones required to graduate. Although you may disagree, the claim is better supported. The other options don't really make much sense, nor give defensible reasons.

What is the equation for a parabola with a focus of (4,3) and a vertex of (4,1)

Answers

Answer:

The vertex and focus of parabola lie on its axis.

Points (4,−3) and (4,−1) lie on the line x=4

So, the axis of parabola is the line x=4

Focus of the parabola lies below the vertex. So, the parabola is downwards opening

So, the equation of parabola is (x−4)  

2

=−4a(y+1)

Distance between focus and vertex =−1−(−3)=2

∴a=2

Vertex of parabola is (4,−1)

So, the equation of parabola is (x−4)  

2

=−4(2)(y+1)

⟹x  

2

−8x+16+8y+8=0

⟹x

To what extent is the media in our country biased

Answers

Charges of media bias have been flying like a bloody banner on the campaign trail. Newt Gingrich excoriated the “elite media” in a richly applauded moment during one of the Republican debates. Rick Santorum chewed out a New York Times reporter. Mitt Romney said this month that he faces “an uphill battle” against the press in the general election.

Meanwhile, just about every new poll of public sentiment shows that confidence in the news media has hit a new low. Seventy-seven percent of those surveyed by the Pew Research Center in the fall said the media “tend to favor one side” compared with 53 percent who said so in 1985.

But have the media really become more biased? Or is this a case of perception trumping reality?

In fact, there’s little to suggest that over the past few decades news reporting has become more favorable to one party. That’s not to say researchers haven’t found bias in reporting. They have, but they don’t agree that one side is consistently favored or that this favoritism has been growing like a pernicious weed.

How biased are the media, really?

By Paul FarhiApril 27, 2012

Charges of media bias have been flying like a bloody banner on the campaign trail. Newt Gingrich excoriated the “elite media” in a richly applauded moment during one of the Republican debates. Rick Santorum chewed out a New York Times reporter. Mitt Romney said this month that he faces “an uphill battle” against the press in the general election.

Meanwhile, just about every new poll of public sentiment shows that confidence in the news media has hit a new low. Seventy-seven percent of those surveyed by the Pew Research Center in the fall said the media “tend to favor one side” compared with 53 percent who said so in 1985.

But have the media really become more biased? Or is this a case of perception trumping reality?

In fact, there’s little to suggest that over the past few decades news reporting has become more favorable to one party. That’s not to say researchers haven’t found bias in reporting. They have, but they don’t agree that one side is consistently favored or that this favoritism has been growing like a pernicious weed.

On the conservative side, the strongest case might have been made by Tim Groseclose, a political science and economics professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. Groseclose used a three-pronged test to quantify the “slant quotient” of news stories reported by dozens of media sources. He compared these ratings with a statistical analysis of the voting records of various national politicians. In his 2011 book, “Left Turn: How Liberal Bias Distorts the American Mind,” Groseclose concluded that most media organizations aligned with the views of liberal politicians. (Groseclose determined that The Washington Post’s “slant quotient” was less liberal than news coverage in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.)

Even with conservative-leaning sources such as the Drudge Report and the Washington Times factored in, “the aggregate slant is leftward,” said Groseclose, who describes himself as a conservative.

But that’s not the end of the story. A “meta-analysis” of bias studies — that is, a study of studies — shows something different: When all is said and done, left-leaning reporting is balanced by reporting more favorable to conservatives. “The net effect is zero,” said David D’Alessio, a communications sciences professor at the University of Connecticut at Stamford.

Why Michael brown got shot?

Answers

Answer:

On August 9, 2014, Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old. It will never be perfectly clear what happened on that day. But the grand jury and US Department of Justice didn’t believe there was enough evidence to file charges against Wilson for wrongdoing.

Wilson claimed Brown was violent throughout the encounter, even charging at the officer after gunshots were fired. But some eyewitness testimony, which is notoriously unreliable, said Brown was trying to flee from Wilson and attempted to surrender — by raising his hands up — before he was killed.

After Wilson made contact with Brown and told the 18-year-old to not walk in the middle of the road, the officer reportedly realized Brown was a robbery suspect who stole cigarillos from a nearby convenience store. Wilson attempted to stop Brown, and both men had a physical altercation at the officer’s SUV. Wilson then opened fire from his vehicle. Brown ran, turned around, and Wilson fired more shots, supposedly out of fear that Brown was charging at him.

Brown died about 150 feet from Wilson’s vehicle. He was shot six times. No gunshot was confirmed to hit Brown from behind, although two wounds had an undetermined trajectory.

Read the excerpt from "Music Gets Personal.” Radios had to be made and sold. Radio stations had to be built, too. All of this took more time. Finally, in the 1920s, music recording and radio came together. People listened to music in their homes. They bought record players. They listened to music on the radio, too. What is the best summary of this excerpt?

Many people held jobs making and selling radios and building radio stations and record players.

Families enjoyed listening to music and other shows that were broadcast on the radio.

In the 1920s people became interested in purchasing records so they could play them on their record players.

When do expressions of identity become a protest?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

There is a photo of Martin Luther King leading a peaceful protest (in Birmingham, I think). You can look it up. It is one of the most famous photographs to come out of the civil rights movement.

The point I'm trying to make is that everyone is well dressed. The men were clad in white shirts and ties and the women wore below the knee skits. It was done deliberately: this was not a wild mob throwing rocks at people or buildings they did not like.

This was a very civilized group that had a central message to give to anyone who saw the march. The message was "We are good people. We are law abiding citizens. We want only to be heard and we want (because we are citizens) to be granted the same rights as our white neighbors."

Their clothing was a symbol of the movement. It was part of what made the protest real. I found the photo for you.

Hello :)

A complex sentence is defined as featuring at least one dependent clause and one independent clause, and is usually used to provide more information to emphasize the main point of the sentence.

In this case, A would be the complex sentence because the dependent clause “Cannot stand alone in the sentence”. This part would be the “Unless she arrives in the next five minutes”.

The independent clause would be, “We must cancel the play” as it does make sense on its own.

Jack. [In a clear, cold voice.] Miss Cardew is the grand-daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Cardew of 149 Belgrave Square, S.W.; Gervase Park, Dorking, Surrey; and the Sporran, Fifeshire, N.B.

Lady Bracknell. That sounds not unsatisfactory. Three addresses always inspire confidence, even in tradesmen. But what proof have I of their authenticity?

Jack. I have carefully preserved the Court Guides of the period. They are open to your inspection, Lady Bracknell.

Lady Bracknell. [Grimly.] I have known strange errors in that publication.

Jack. Miss Cardew’s family solicitors are Messrs. Markby, Markby, and Markby.

Lady Bracknell. Markby, Markby, and Markby? A firm of the very highest position in their profession. Indeed I am told that one of the Mr. Markby’s is occasionally to be seen at dinner parties. So far I am satisfied.

What does this excerpt most clearly convey about Lady Bracknell?

She thinks that family background is important.
She believes in the beauty of true love.
She desires to change her social status.
She distrusts people who have reputable names.

Answers

Based on the excerpt, we can tell that Lady Bracknell  desires to change her social status.

Why can we infer this?

Lady Brecknell expressed interested in what Jack was talking about only after he mentioned the name of the law firm involved in the case.

She was only interested because one of the partners in the law firm, attended some dinner parties which were a sign of high society. We can therefore infer that she wanted to improve her social status.

When Ted claims he will have to get rid of Olly, Mrs. Saunders proposes to keep Olly if Ted helps her with the orchard.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Ted is very fond of Olly, a horse he has taken care of for a long time.However, he will need to withdraw from the horse's care because of his school obligations.His father claims he will have to get rid of Olly and Ted looks for someone who can keep the horse, but no one seems available.

However, when Ted tells Mrs. Saunders that he will have to get rid of the horse, she claims that she can keep the horse if Ted commits to helping her with the orchard three days a week.

That way he can continue to have contact with the horse and she will get help with the tasks she has.

This question is about "Ted’s Champion" where we can see the theme that taking care of animals is always rewarding.
