12. Which detail helps illustrate the author's point in "Against Nature," (pages 221–229), that nature provides no link to spiri
mote1985 [20]

<u>Answer</u>:

B: “And the lovely blue isn't even blue, is it? isn't even there, is it?"

This detail helps illustrate the author's point in "Against Nature".

<u>Explanation</u>:

The story “Joyce Carol Oates” states that nature doesn’t give any instructions for humans. Joyce is not against nature in her story, but she questions about her own existence and she thinks she doesn’t exist.

Oates suffered from cardiac attack and while she is lying down on her back, she goes through a thought process. Her mind roams around and Oates uses imagery to depict what is going on around her. She searches the area around her, talks about the nature.

This line shows that Oates is trying to say that nature has connection with no spiritual truth as she is even questioning the color of the blue sky that whether that is also true or not.

Which sentence uses the underlined word correctly?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Our Constitution is based on certain principles .

Explanation:

The term <em>principle</em> is a noun and it indicates <u>fundamental beliefs that something is based on</u>, whether it be a <em>constitution</em> in this case, or <em>somebody's beliefs</em>. <em>Scientific principles</em> are the <em>laws of science</em>.

The correct use of the word in other sentences would be:

Our experiment was based on scientific <u>principles</u>.

The <u>principles</u> of my parents have always stuck  with me.

On the other hand, <em>principal </em>is an adjective and it refers to something that is primary, main. It can also be used as a noun: The <em>principal </em>visited our class today. In this case, it refers to the <u>headmaster of a school.</u>

The title of Michelle’s speech is: Our Privacy on the Internet Should Be More Protected. Which of the following would be the bes
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

d. Each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information

Explanation:

When we take the title of the speech into consideration - "Our Privacy on the Internet Should Be More Protected" - the best option of a thesis statement seems to be letter d. A thesis statement consists of one or two sentences with the purpose of informing the reader about the author's opinion and the subject of what will be read, as well as guide the author so that they won't lose focus.

Letter a would be a good option if it didn't mention "genetic information". That topic takes a very specific detour away from the subject of privacy. They can be related, but that is not what we expect after reading the title.

Letter b is not a statement at all. The question asked has the intention of making the reader curious, but does not state the author's opinion.

Letter c is not a thesis statement due to its length. It already develops the argument, which should be done in the speech or essay's body.

That leaves us with letter d. It's a one-sentence statement in which we find the author's opinion and which gives us an idea of what will be developed in the speech or essay.
