Read this writing prompt. Write an argumentative essay about whether kids should be allowed to bring cell phones to school. Based on the prompt, which claim is the strongest? Cell phones are helpful tools that allow people to easily access information and stay organized. In the latest survey, 78 percent of kids asked said that they believed they should be allowed to bring cell phones to school. Schools should not allow kids to bring cell phones because they are too much of a distraction. Not every kid can have a cell phone because they are expensive and many kids do not have jobs.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There is one strong claim against it:

Schools should not allow kids.... distraction.

Explanation:

Those who are not strong claims:

In the latest survey... kids said  

Anything that is based on what kids say can´t be a strong claim.

Not every kid can have... because... expensive... kids do not have jobs

Apart from the fact that child labor is forbidden the economic reason for not allowing cell phones is not the issue. It is a social and educational issue.

And the other claim in favor has one word that makes it rather worthless:

they are helpful tools and allow people ...

As we are talking about kids this claim misses the important point.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to express the concern of residents over the poor road conditions of Mahatma Gandhi Road, Andheri West, Mumbai.

There are long and frequent traffic jams due to the poor road conditions. It has become impossible to reach our destinations; schools, colleges, and offices on time. Patients are dying when the ambulances get stuck in traffic jams and couldn't get to the hospital on time.

If you can publish an article about this problem, then it is very likely that it will get noticed by the higher authorities since your newspaper caters a large number of audience.

I would be highly thankful for your cooperation in this regard.

which story premise is the best example of magical realism ?

A. Duke has to win the snowboarding competition in order to save his school.

B. Aliens from outer space invade earth , and only capybara man can stop them.

C. A wizard plunders an ancient dungeon for the secret of how to tame dragons.

D. A horse who was once a movie star struggles to bring his career back to life.

Answers

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Based on the options provided it can be said that the best example of magical realism is "Duke has to win the snowboarding competition in order to save his school." Magical Realism refers to literature in which the setting/world is still grounded to the real world but still has a touch of fantasy elements. In the case of the snowboarding competition, it represents magical realism because snowboarding competitions are realistic but having to win a snowboarding competition to save a school has never happened and is the fantasy element in the story.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone. But what did the passages in Egyptian mean? Did they contain exactly the same message as the Greek passage? The last sentence of the Greek text said, "This decree shall be inscribed on a stela [slab] of hard stone in sacred [hieroglyphic] and native [demotic] and Greek characters,” so it seemed clear that the inscription was the same in all three languages. That way, the priests’ statement could be read by Egyptians who understood Greek, as well as by those who knew only one or both of the Egyptian languages. But the scholars were still far from being able to decipher either the hieroglyphs or the demotic writing. Which detail from the excerpt explains the purpose of the three languages on the Rosetta Stone?

Any ideas on writing a story on blessing in disguise in which something bad in your life gave great benefits i would we delighted if u gave a good idea >3

Answers

Answer:

It all depends on attitude and what you consider great benefits.

Explanation:

A positive attitude is necessary in order to see blessings in disguise everywhere you hit something bad. This can vary from relatively innocent things, such as missing the bus (and an important appointment) and meeting someone at the busstation, to more serious stuff as braking up with your boy/girlfriend and gradually discovering that this actually helped you become more independent. The range of benefits is wide: emotional, economical, physical, spiritual, educational, all things that matter in life.

My advice is to think about some bad experiences you had in the (remote) past and look carefully at all the consequences. Stick with one clear example of a blessing in disguise, take a long walk and when you come back start writing.

Good luck!

Which detail best supports the main idea that camp was better than expected in paragraph 2?

A) “The camp’s main and primary activity was hiking in the rocky, rainy trails of the nearby White Mountains.”
B) “to my surprise I liked the camp counselors”
C) “Dad decide to send me to this camp in New Hampshire”
D) “Thanks a lot, Dad”

Answers

The correct answer is B. "to my surprise I liked the camp counselors”

Explanation:

In paragraph 2, the narrator describes the experiences at the camp in New Hampshire; this paragraph begins with the narrator's negative impressions about the camp, this can be seen in "this summer had all the hallmarks of a disaster for me" because this shows the narrator had only negative expectations.

However, these feelings change as the narrator sees everything from a different perspective, this can be seen in sentences such as "I actually discovered the exercise to be enjoyable" and "to my surprise, I liked the camp counselors" because these show a new and more positive perspective. In the case of the counselors, the narrator states they were from different parts of the world, and discussions were interesting. Thus, option B supports the idea camp was better than expected in paragraph 2.

What is the overall role of literature in Russia and why was writing viewed so strongly in their culture? How was the writing significant?
PLEASE HELP DUE SOON. I WILL REPORT NON RELAVANT ANSWERS THANK YOU.

Answers

Answer:The unusual shape of Russian literary history has been the source of numerous controversies. Three major and sudden breaks divide it into four periods—pre-Petrine (or Old Russian), Imperial, post-Revolutionary, and post-Soviet. The reforms of Peter I (the Great; reigned 1682–1725), who rapidly Westernized the country, created so sharp a divide with the past that it was common in the 19th century to maintain that Russian literature had begun only a century before. The 19th century’s most influential critic, Vissarion Belinsky, even proposed the exact year (1739) in which Russian literature began, thus denying the status of literature to all pre-Petrine works.
