Also known as Mount Godwin-Austen, K2 is the second highest mountain in the world. The mountain is 28,251 feet high and it is thought to be more difficult to climb than Mount Everest. When climbers arrive at the base, they are amazed by the steep rock face of the mountain and awed by the weather. The mountain is located on the border of China and Pakistan, which is in the Karakoram part of the Himalayan mountain range. Most climbers attempt to reach the top of K2 from Pakistan, but no one has ever tried to climb the mountain in the winter. Two people from an Italian expedition team were the first to reach the top of K2: Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni. They reached the summit, or the top of the mountain, in July, 1954. Since then, almost 300 people have managed to reach the top of the mountain.

Which claim from the passage lacks supporting evidence?

A. When climbers arrive at the base, they are amazed by the steep rock face of the mountain and awed by the weather.

In about two hundred words, discuss your understanding regarding Okonkwo’s interactions with the women in his life. Is there any difference between his interactions with specific women and his understanding of femininity and women in general?

Answers

Okonkwo's thinking and compression about femininity and the way he interacts and lives with women is not much different, as he has a strong opinion about it and believes that women should act in the way his concepts were settled down. In the same way, he believes that femininity is what he has established in his thinking and believes that it is right.

For Okonkwo, femininity imposes that those who have it are weak, inferior, childish, emotional, unable to be independent and mentally inefficient. Women are the greatest holders of femininity, so for Okonkwo all women (and men with characteristics that he considered female) should live in a submissive way and do what men, full of masculinity, believed that should be done.

Answer:

Okonkwo's thinking and compression of femininity and the way he interacts with women and lives are not very different, because he has a strong view on this and believes that women should act in a way that his ideas are resolved. Likewise, he believes that femininity is the foundation he has established in his thoughts and believes it is right. For Okonkwo, femininity imposes on those who are weak, inferior, naive, emotional, unable to be independent, and mentally incompetent. Women are the biggest holders of femininity. Therefore, for Okonkwo, all women (and men with characteristics that he considers feminine) should live in a submissive way, and do what men full of masculinity think should do Things.

Positive attitude in life can make the world a better place to live in. Do you agree or disagree with reference to the poem ’Dust of Snow’. Express your thoughts bringing out the inherent values.

Answers

Answer:

I agree with the poem's message that a positive attitude can make the world a better place.

Explanation:

As we can see in the poem, a positive attitude towards something unexpected or negative can be fundamental to life.

The poem has very few lines, however there is a great message in it. The speaker has an encounter with a raven that throws snow on him, and instead of getting angry, the speaker changes his mood in a positive way: he feels rued and saved.

The speaker could have been angered by this unexpected event and reacted in a bad way, even this could have ruined his day. However, he takes a positive and humorous attitude.

If we all did the same with the bad things that happen to us, the world would definitely be a better place.

C

D

hanges?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C. merciless and data-driven Hopefully this helps!

A. Diplomatic and forthcoming

The reason why this is considered diplomatic and forthcoming is because:

In 1974, the two Germanys gained diplomatic recognition and U.N. membership. U.S. diplomats emphasized that their new East Berlin embassy was to East Berlin not in it, clarifying Berlin’s special status since the U.S. embassy could not be in the sector held by the occupying Soviets.U.S. diplomatic relations with a rigid East Germany began.

How does the author characterize the way East Berlin leaders deliberated and announced policy?

The author characterizes the East Berlin Leaders' deliberation and announcement policy by East German which was a socialist republic. Eventually, Christian churches were allowed to operate without restraint after years of harassment by authorities. In the 1970s, the wages of East Berliners rose and working hours fell.The Soviet Union and the Communist bloc recognized East Berlin as the GDR's capital.However, Western Allies (the US, UK, and France) never formally acknowledged the authority of the East German government to govern East Berlin.

What is a primary source?

A primary source which is also called a source is an artefact, document, diary, manuscript, autobiography, recording, or any other source of information that was created at the time under study. It serves as a source of information about the topic. Similar definitions can be used in library science and other areas of scholarship, although different fields have somewhat different definitions.

In journalism, a primary source can be a person with direct knowledge of a situation or a document written by such a person. Primary sources are distinguished from secondary sources, which cite, comment on, or build upon primary sources. Generally, accounts written after the fact with the benefit of hindsight are secondary.

A secondary source may also be a primary source depending on how it is used.
