Answer:

The author uses specific data, reasons, and quotations to support her argument effectively, but the excerpt would be stronger if she included eyewitness testimony or personal stories.

Explanation:

The excerpt from "Social Media Made the Arab Spring, But Couldn't Save It" by Jessi Hempel.The authors effectively use verifiable data and a quotation from an expert to support their claim.

The author uses specific data, reasons, and quotations to support her argument effectively, but the excerpt would be stronger if she included eyewitness testimony or personal stories.

The excerpt provides more effective evidence because it has data and statistics from research reports and also uses titles of articles and authors' names as evidence. The excerpt would have been more stronger if the author had taken into account the first hand stories and testimonies of eyewitness on the frontline, this will give more credibility to the excerpt.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince. Whenever those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed

lakkis [162]

The answer is:

There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him—and the third way is easiest.

In the excerpt from "the Prince," the author Niccolo Machiavelli makes reference to the three possible ways of holding a new acquired state that is used to living in freedom and having their own laws. The first option is to destroy them, the second is to settle there, and the third is to create an oligarchy that charges taxes but that keeps the state peaceful. Machiavelli suggests the third option is he easiest because it makes use of the state's own citizens and the new oligarchy must owe its endurance to the prince.

son4ous [18]

E. The mixed language hints at the poet's inner conflicts based on her bicultural heritage.

To understand why is this the correct answer we need to know more about the autho Lorna Dee Cervantes.

"Of both Mexican and Native American ancestry, Cervantes is a member of a fifth-generation California family. Her parents, concerned about prejudices against Spanish-speaking citizens in the United States, strictly forbade the use of any language but English in the home as Cervantes was growing up. Cervantes's poetry often reflects this clash between her ethnic background and the American culture around her. As a way of reflecting her multicultural upbringing, the poet often makes use of both English and Spanish vocabulary in her poems."

* Freeway 280." Poetry for Students. . Encyclopedia.com. 6 Mar. 2019

The author in the poem does not want to celebrate her biculturalism but wants to express through the use of the two languages that she is internally in conflict with her identity and does not reject any of the two cultures she has. Mexican and American.
