Read the following passage and answer the questions.

“Meanwhile, in Africa, the
Arabs had been playing an instrument called the al-ud, or 'the wood,’ for centuries. When the Moors crossed the Straits of Gibraltar in the twelfth century to conquer Spain, they brought this instrument with them. It quickly became popular, and by the time anybody who spoke English was talking about it, al-ud had become lute….The Moorish artistic influence, blowing the cobwebs away from the stodgy Spanish art and society, created an artistic climate that encouraged music to flourish. And so, the instruments on which the music was played flourished as well,and continued to evolve and improve. This is a contribution that cannot be overstated.”

These statements, “blowing the cobwebs away from the stodgy Spanish art and society” exemplifies—

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Opinion

Explanation:

The phrase “blowing the cobwebs away from the stodgy Spanish art and society” implies that Spanish art and society had become so dull with no development or movement such that metaphorically speaking, cobwebs had formed on them.

This is the opinion of the author because they have judged Spanish art and society to be boring by their own standards. It therefore is not necessarily a fact and neither does it constitute either evidence or data.

Answers

Answer:

The English subjunctive is a special, relatively rare verb form that expresses something desired or imagined.

We use the subjunctive mainly when talking about events that are not certain to happen. For example, we use the subjunctive when talking about events that somebody:

wants to happen

anticipates will happen

imagines happening

Base Subjunctive

Form of base subjunctive

The form of the base subjunctive is extremely simple. For all verbs and all persons, the form is the base of the verb, for example: be, have, do, go, sing, work

The base subjunctive does not use any other forms (goes, sings, works).

This table shows the base subjunctive in all persons, using the verbs be, work and sing as examples:

 base-subjunctive

be work sing

I be work sing

you be work sing

he, she, it be work sing

we be work sing

you be work sing

they be work sing

Note that the subjunctive does not change at all according to person (I, you, he etc).

Use of base subjunctive

In certain that clauses

The base subjunctive is typically used in that clauses after two structures:

1. suggest-verb (or noun) + that

advise, ask, command, demand, desire, insist, order, prefer, propose, recommend, request, suggest

command, demand, order, proposal, recommendation, request, suggestion

2. advisable/anxious-adjective + that

advisable, best, crucial, desirable, essential, imperative, important, necessary, unthinkable, urgent, vital

adamant, anxious, determined, eager, keen

Look at these sentences which include examples of the above:

main clause

suggest-verb that clause

with subjunctive

He suggests that you   be present at the meeting.

The board recommend that he   join the company.

He requested that the car park not be locked at night.

main clause

suggest-noun that clause

with subjunctive

They made a suggestion that we be early.

He made a proposal that the company buy more land.

The president has issued an order that the secretary resign next month.

Explain fallacies of omission and give examples of this fallacy.

Answers

Answer:

Fallacies of omission are errors or mistakes in communication due to the lack or misuse of information.

An example of Argumentum ad Speculum is " If we had taken the other way home we wouldn't have gotten stocked in a traffic jam"

Explanation:

Fallacies of omission are connected to misinformation, by having an error in the way information is presented.

There are different kinds of fallacies of omission:

* Stacking the Deck

* Argument to the Negative

* Argumentum ad Ignorantium/ Appeal to Lack of Evidence

* Argumentum ad Speculum/Hypothesis Contrary to Fact

* Complex Question

* Contradictory Premise/Logical Paradox

The example " If we had taken the other way home we wouldn't have gotten stocked in a traffic jam" gives information that can not be proved since it never happened and the person is just making assumptions based on an unreal event.

Answer:

Dreams

Antonio has a number of dreams throughout the novel, from his early dream about watching his own birth to his later dreams about his brothers calling for his help. Anaya uses the recurrent dream motif to show how Antonio’s interpretations of his thoughts and experiences change as he develops as a character. In his early dreams, for instance, Antonio is largely preoccupied with the question of his destiny, of whether he will become a vaquero or a priest. But in his later dreams, he is preoccupied with much larger questions of family, morality, and duty. This gradual transformation, traced in dreams, reflects Antonio’s growth from childhood to maturity. His dreams also offer him a rich and variable set of images and symbols with which to understand his own life.

Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

I decided to put his entire machine shop in our basement, but there were two problems... One, his shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two, there was no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and the milling machine, weighing two thousand pounds, could be carried into the basement. I solved this problem by hiring a contractor to dig a large hole, break open a wall of the basement, enclose the addition with concrete, and add a roof that could be used for building an outside deck to the house. I also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry. I now had the entire machine shop in our basement. At the time I was making enough money from my electronic devices to pay for all of this.

What conclusion can be drawn from the details in this excerpt?

Kamen's family did not appreciate the enlargement of their basement.
Kamen's mother had complained about the size of her kitchen and pantry.
Kamen's idea to enlarge the basement benefited both his work and his family.
Kamen's machine shop still did not fit into the newly enlarged basement.

Answers

Answer:

Kamen's idea to enlarge the basement benefited both his work and his family.

Explanation:

In the given passage from Dean Kamen's "On Becoming an Inventor", the speaker reveals how the newly enlarged basement came to be. Kamen's machine shop led to the decision to enlarge the basement that will house the machine.

The narrator's statement that "At the time I was making enough money from my electronic devices to pay for all of this" is proof that the idea to enlarge the kitchen and pantry, along with the basement benefited both his work and his family.

Hi ma'am! How are you? I hope you and your family are in good health by the grace of the god. It's been a long time since the school have been closed. Here are some few things I want to tell you about festivals in my village.

We know, different festivals are celebrated in different countries in the world. I went to my village for the festival holidays this time. It was the most joyous and memorable period of my life. People living in the city means a holiday and we can wake up late. Then eat all the delicacies prepared our mom and go for a new released movie or watch television at home. Here in village, they gather in a common place and celebrate.

We had so much fun by celebrating it with everyone . It was totally different from what I had expected and experienced from the city.

I hope you spent some quality time with your family and had fun too!

Your sincerely,
