Answer:
In “Technology: Using it Wisely,” the author claims that technology limits children’s brain development and that it negatively impacts the way people exercise.
To support the claim that technology limits children’s “healthy brain development,” the author cites evidence from “scientists and researchers” who state that technology “limits growth and creativity.” The author goes on to say that most computer games and forms of digital entertainment are not “intellectually challenging.” The author also implies that these types of games and entertainment could actually be harmful to childrens’ ability to think creatively.
To support the claim that technology negatively affects the way people exercise, the author provides details in the form of generalizations. For example, the author states that “many people” exercise indoors in gyms. The author goes on to state that people’s bodies are not being properly nourished because they aren’t spending enough time exercising outdoors. Additionally, the author states that a “walk in the woods” or an “open-air run” is vastly more effective than spending time “running on a treadmill.”
I believe the author’s credible evidence related to the first claim that technology limits “growth and creativity” in school-aged children. However, the author doesn’t include any credible evidence to prove that the additional details used to support that first claim are accurate. Personally, I have seen many computer-based activities and games that actually do help students learn new information and skills. The author’s second claim is also not supported by any data or credible evidence, so I find it hard to believe that working out in a gym offers significantly fewer benefits than walking or running outdoors. Therefore, based on the lack of evidence and credible details provided, I disagree with the author’s claims.
Explanation:
actual answer from PLATO
Answer:
Paragraph 1
Claim 1 Technology does not support healthy brain development in school-aged children.
Evidence and Details
Scientists and researchers think school-age children’s use of cellphones and tablets “limits the growth of creativity.”
Very few of the computer games and digital entertainment options that children use are “intellectually challenging.”
Commentary
The evidence about the effect of technology use on creativity is somewhat credible because it comes from science experts.
The detail that few computer games and digital entertainment options are “intellectually challenging” lacks support from a credible source, so it may not be a trustworthy fact.
Explicit and Implicit
Meanings
The author explicitly states the belief of experts that technology “limits the growth of creativity.”
By saying that “only a handful” of computer games and entertainment options are “intellectually challenging,” the author is implying there is almost no value in having children engage in these activities. This statement also implies that such activities could actually harm children’s ability to become creative thinkers.
Paragraph 2
Claim 2 Technology has had a negative impact on the way people exercise.
Evidence and Details
Many people work out in gyms, which are in enclosed spaces that are similar to their office work environments.
People are not getting enough fresh air, which is something our bodies need for “nourishment.”
A “walk in the woods” or an “open-air run” is much more “effective than running on a treadmill.”
Commentary The three details that the author uses to support the claim about technology and exercise are generalizations. They seem to be based on personal experience and background knowledge rather than facts and evidence from experts or other credible sources. Therefore, the author’s statements lack credibility.
Explicit and Implicit
Meanings The author explicitly states her or his beliefs about the need for outdoor exercise. The author implies that working out in a gym is an ineffective and “negative” way to nourish the body.

*QUICKEST ANSWER GETS BRIANLIEST* I HAVE LIMITED TIME HELP ASAP PLEASE Read this excerpt from White Fang. White Fang saw his mother taken aboard Three Eagles’ canoe, and tried to follow her. A blow from Three Eagles knocked him backward to the land. The canoe shoved off. He sprang into the water and swam after it, deaf to the sharp cries of Grey Beaver to return. Even a man-animal, a god, White Fang ignored, such as the terror he was in of losing his mother. But gods are accustomed to being obeyed, and Grey Beaver wrathfully launched a canoe in pursuit. When he overtook White Fang, he reached down and by the nape of the neck lifted him clear of the water. He did not deposit him at once in the bottom of the canoe. Holding him suspended with one hand, with the other hand he proceeded to give him a beating. (The conflict in this excerpt is important to the plot development because Grey Beaver punishes White Fang until he becomes violent and ceases to care about the consequences.) (White Fang gives up and becomes a weak character after being abandoned by his mother.) (Kiche is hurt in the outburst and is returned to the camp because of her injuries).( White Fang learns to survive the loss of his mother and the great challenge of human punishment.)
Answer:
White Fang learns to survive the loss of his mother and the great challenge of human punishment.
Explanation:
When his mother gets taken, White Fang attempts to go after her by jumping into the water and swimming after the canoe. But, he ignores Grey Beaver calling him to return. Grey Beaver goes after him in a canoe and snatches him out of the water and proceeds to give him a beating for disobeying him. So, he is being punished for not listening all while having to deal with the loss of his mother.
Hope that helps.

1. What relationships are important/influential in this Dorothy's life? (Wizard of Oz) List three relationships and give examples from the text, explaining how each relationship shaped the character. Will give BRAINIEST for an unique and accurate answer. :) (NO TROLLING or I'll report!)
Answer:
Glinda - the good witch is like a mother to her, caring for her along the way. Guiding her but allowing her to make decisions on her own and to learn from her own mistakes.
Tin-Man - He had a very big heart even though he really never had literal heart. He was good and compassionate and had been this way all along, but he never could realize his potential to love.
Lion - He was afraid, just like Dorothy was afraid. She encouraged him to have courage - and at the same time, she encouraged herself.
Scarecrow - he was good and kind and knew that he did not want to spend his life scaring people. He wanted to have friends and to be loving to others. D helped him realize his potential of being kind and good and loving along the way and she learned her own ability to love and to be loved.
You have to remember that these "people" were searching for something all along the way and in reality they had these special characteristics all along. You could assume that they had to go through turmoil and hard times to literally see the good - but, they had the ability all along to love, be smart, and to not be afraid.
It is also cool to note that the wizard was really not a wizard in his own eyes. He also felt that he could not measure up to what was expected of him. He had this idea that he had to be great, powerful, scary, and rule with an iron hand. He did not. He realized that he could help others by just being himself and being good.
There is good in everyone :) We just have to find it.

I’m at least 150 words, explain Orwell’s use of figurative and connotative language and the ways in which his language affects the tone of his works.
Answer:
Orwell makes extensive use of animal sounds and movements to describe action; his figurative usage turns ordinary description into onomatopoeia. Animal characters are "stirring" and "fluttering" in movement while "cheeping feebly" and "grunting" communications. Old Major, the father figure of the animal's revolution, sings the rallying song "Beasts of England." Orwell describes the answering chorus in a frenzy of onomatopoeic imagery: "the cows lowed it, the dogs whined it, the sheep bleated it, the ducks quacked it." As the ruling class of pigs becomes more human, Orwell subtly drops barnyard verbiage and instead uses "said" for dialogue attributions.
