This paragraph compares electric cars and traditional, gas-powered automobiles

strong claim or weak claim

Answers

I think this is a weak claim because it is comparing electric to gas powered which can’t really be compared

A strong claim is one that puts forward a strong fact and provides reasons to support it. It is arguable and focuses on just one point. The statement above is a weak claim because it is not arguable. A strong claim should be supported by evidence.

A strong claim is one that presents a fact with all surety and backs it up with evidence. It is subject to argument because another person might disagree with it.

The statement above is not a strong claim because it simply states the aim of the paragraph and not an opinion of the author that is arguable.

How does the writer try to show that Harry West is determined to continue working as
a street seller?

Answers

Answer:

The author shows that Harry West is determined to continue as a street seller by emphasizing that even after the Hackney council ceased to renew temporary licenses, West continues to sell the second-hand goods as a street seller.

Explanation:

"End of the road for London's traditional street markets? Meet the last stallholder in Hackney's 'Waste'" is an article written by Georginia Jarvis. The article talks about the last street-seller on Kingsland Road, East London.

Harry West is a 72-year-old man who is selling second-hand goods on Kingsland Road in east London for forty years. After the Hackney council ceased to renew the temporary license, many street sellers left but Harry West. He is determined to continue working as a street seller.

"West is the only stallholder left on this once-buzzing strip, after Hackney council ceased the renewal of temporary licences – an act that has all but closed the market. It seems however that they did not bank on the staying power of 72-year-old West."

an essay about (An amazing person) of about 250 to 300 words​

Answers

Leonardo DiCaprio is a really amazing person, mainly because his acting skills are just absolutely immaculate. He has played in a bunch of movies such as Inception, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, Titanic, The Revenant. His whole career is based on his acting. He's made tons just by acting, and he has placed eight times in annual rankings of the world's highest-paid actor, which is actually really cool. Leonardo DiCaprio's net worth is estimated to be around $260 million. Leonardo DiCaprio was born on November 11, 1974, and born in Los Angeles, CA. He is now 46 years old and played in about 65 movies. The biggest movie he played in was Titanic, it made around 2,194,439,542 dollars  worldwide. Leonardo DiCaprio has yet to make more movies, impressing everyone with the amazing skill he was born with, which his skills were to act. Leonardo DiCaprio has made a really great impact on a lot of us just by his acting. Acting isn't always the easiest, you have to learn how to do such things on command, and have to be prepared for the worst to always happen, you never know when something terrible could go wrong, anything could always happen on set and could end up going completely wrong. All of these things that have been stated/said are exactly what makes Leonardo DiCaprio an amazing person. May we all hope he continues his career with his impressive acting skills and make us all impressed with his amazing skill.

The shade of the flowers

In my mother’s garden

Blooming in spring, and yet sometimes

Not at all

The color of the clouds

To the west, just over the neighbors house

Where the road makes a turn into trees

Purple, the mix of blue and red

A color of sadness and a color of passion

The result of two opposite forces

As they battle and merge into one

Purple, my childhood room

The color of the curtains I opened

As I faced the sun, then, a new day

The color remains in my soul

Buried in red passion, dormant,

And calm as blue

Yet it remains, purple

What does the family often grumble about? Make a list of things the family is not content with from grumble family​

Answers

Answer:

The Grumble family found fault with everything and nothing, from the weather to the rains and the sun. And if there is nothing to grumble about, "they'd growl that they'd nothing to grumble about."

Explanation:

Lucy Maud Montgomery's poem "The Grumble Family" presents a neighborhood scene. In the poem, the speaker focuses on a particular family and their 'unsatisfactory' reaction to everything and how they are never contented with anything.

The Grumble family 'grumbles' about nothing and everything. Ranging from weather to complaining about nothing to grumble about, the family never seems to run out of issues to find fault with.

They grumble about "the weather . . . the rain . . . the sun . . ." That's not all, "if everything pleased them . . . They'd growl that they'd nothing to grumble about!"
