Which of these is a proper noun?
A. Doctor
B. Uncle
C. Tim
D. Robot
Tim is someone's name, and thus, is a proper noun.
Explanation: A proper noun is a specific noun. For example, "lake" is a common noun and thus do not need capitalization but Lake Michigan is a specific noun (because it's a specific place) and does need capitalized. All proper nouns need capitalization, and a common proper noun is someone's name.
Doctor can be used generally, you could say, "I think I need to go see a doctor" so that's not it
Uncle could work if you were referring to someone specifically. "My uncle is coming over" is using it in a general sense, but, "My Uncle John is coming over" is more specific, so that would be a specific noun but in this case, it isn't.
Robot by itself is a common noun so it isn't an option. For example, "did you see this cool robot she's working on?" It's used in a general sense.
Answer:
A proper noun is a name used for an individual person, place, or organization, spelled with initial capital letters so the answer is Tim.

Judgment Call Most decisions are made with analysis, but some are judgment calls not susceptible to analysis due to time or information constraints. Please write about a judgment call you've made recently that couldn't be analyzed. It can be a big or small one, but should focus on a business issue. What was the situation, the alternatives you considered and evaluated, and your decision making process? Be sure to explain why you chose the alternative you did relative to others considered
Although this is a personal question that only you can answer, we can still provide an example of a possible answer.
A judgement call is a decision that is made without having much knowledge of a particular situation, or without basing it on the available evidence and information that we have at a particular moment.
An example of such a judgement call that I made in the past was hiring the best employee I have ever had. When I was a manager at a store, I was responsible for interviewing potential employees. At some point, I interviewed a young man who had no previous experience in a store of this kind. However, I could see that he was enthusiastic, kind, eager to learn and positive. These were all qualities that I considered important in an employee. Therefore, I hired him without looking at his past experience, and he came to be excellent at his job.
I had considered other people with more experience as alternatives. However, none of them had the enthusiasm and desire to learn as this man. The decision-making process I followed was that of listening to this man speak, and paying attention not only to his words, but also to the tone, attitude and body language he presented. All of these factors convinced me of hiring him, even if I did not have enough concrete evidence to make such a choice.

Given the nature of humanity, do you think Montag and the professors will be able to help rebuild a healthy, successful society or are people doomed to repeat this destructive pattern?
Answer:
It depends
Explanation:
Looking at human history through the ages we see a repetitive cycle of civilizations, countries and the like who start of building a society based on equality, liberty and fraternity, and then somehow get lost to end up as class-divided and authoritarian societies.
Nevertheless, in Fahrenheit 451 we can only have admiration and faith for Montag and the professors, who start of very good by conserving the treasures of wisdom that books present.
As the Greek philosophers already found out, it all depends on education: if the ones in power are willing to share knowledge and educate people then the prospects look good; if not, then the nation is doomed from the start. Because:
Knowledge = freedom; ignorance = slavery

I wouldn't say that I'm in the best shape or state of mind but I have been sad and lonely. I think I have become depressed. There are some nights where I just stare at the crack in the wall and cry along with the water dripping in my old shower. Ever since I've moved to Seattle, I've felt so meloncholy. I don't feel the same. I also miss Dad, he would always say the best things to make me feel joyful. I'm never at ease at the fact that I wasn't there for his death. I don't know what to do mother. I think I might just end it once and for all. I'm done feeling so gloomy and angry all the time. This apartment is better for somebody else...not me.

At the start of the play, Claudius is seen as a capable king, handling diplomatically problems like Hamlet's despair and the military danger from Norway.
The audience doesn't begin to question his motivations until King Hamlet's Ghost makes an appearance in the courtyard. He takes a turn for the worse by turning to espionage at first, and when that fails, murder, as the play progresses.
Therefore, Claudius was not a popular king.

Why are people so stubborn about their views of immigration and what
does it take to change those views?
Answer:
Explanation:
people are stubborn because they dont want to exept a diffrent thing from what they think and if you want to change their views you have to prove that what they are saying is wrong and try to put it nicely that your point of view makes more sense.
Answer: People who are against immigration may fear the loss of jobs, increased tax burden, or just don't want to encounter "foreign" culture or language. People for immigration usually value the skills or labor that the immigrants bring. They see opportunity to provide housing and other needs that will bring economic benefit.
Explanation: Changing people's minds isn't easy. It may be helpful to listen to their reasons for their opinions, and acknowledge whatever is valid. Then offer examples and facts that support the alternative points of view. There may be ideas they haven't considered before. Learn from the discussion. It goes both ways. Specific situations are likely to have different solutions.
It may be helpful to recall that most Americans are descended from immigrants. Many blessings and many problems have resulted from the introduction of the laws, culture, science, traditions and invasive species (germs, plants, animals etc.) that were not native to this continent.

Answer:
B
Explanation:
The Best of Friends
The evidence for harmony in the family may not be obvious in some households. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of sullen teenagers locked in their room after endless family rows.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly reveals that their family life is more harmonious than it has even been in the past: more than half of 13 to 18-year-olds get on with their brothers and sisters; and one in three has not argued with their parents during the past 12 months. 85 percent of 13 to 18-year-olds agree with the statement “I am happy with my family life,” while a majority said their lives were “happy”, “fun” and “carefree”. Only one in ten said they definitely did not get on with their parents.
“We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They are expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There is more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to participate in the family decision-making process. They do not want to rock the boat”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends rather than subordinates. There are actual statements to back this up. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and make compromises,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I am going out clubbing, or which girl I am going out with. As long as they know what I am doing, they are fine with it.”
Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation... or you might have called it bribery. But as long as I had done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that. I don’t think they were that flexible with their children.” But maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that ideas of adolescence being a difficult time are not rooted in real facts. A psychologist comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were identified as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been smooth transition from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
“The present generation has grown up in a period of economic growth, and as a result teenagers appear to believe much more in individualism and self-reliance than in the past. That has contributed to their confidence in the fairness of life, and thus a general peace within the family unit.”
But is life really fair? Nine out of ten young people think “if you work hard enough, you will get just rewards.” However, some recognized that this was not actually inevitable – and not always fair. “If you have fewer opportunities and live in an inner city,” one 15-year-old boy told researchers, “you have got to work 110 percent. Otherwise you can work 50 percent and get away with it.”
But greater family stability has to be a good place for young people to start out in life, and the findings of the study support this. In spite of some gloomy forecasts about the decline of the family, the future looks good!
Answer:
Life is fair. interesting thought
