Answer:

D. mockery of the truth

Explanation:

From the passage, the writer bemoans the lack of teachers and accessibility of teachers certified in areas they need to teach. He complains about the lack of access to basic learning opportunities.

The writer further adds that the Supreme Court has ruled that states are allowed to remove race as a factor in college admissions, he fears that schools will become more segregated.

The writer doesn't believe that students have equal opportunities of learning and this was the biggest mockery of truth.

Reread the excerpt from the poem "Ozymandias"
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The second option: By implying a similarity between the ruins of  Ozymandias civilization and the Rapa Nui's ruins.

Explanation:

While walking among the head statues the author noticed how some of them were fallen and broken, some appearing complete and yet so far away from any habitation that he compared them to having the empty gaze of Ozymandias.

He also touched on how empty the island is and lamented on the disappearance of its ancient culture, but yet the statues still stood bearing the same expression they were carved in, and quoting Shelley in his comparison: "the heads still look terrifying, their expression sneering, 'Look on you mighty and despair'"

Identify the two words that eye rhyme in this excerpt from "The Brigs of Ayr" by Robert Burns.
m_a_m_a [10]

Thrush, Bush


Eye rhyme is when two words look like they should rhyme because they are spelled the same. However, the words do not actually rhyme because they are not pronounced the same. Thrush and bush both have the same ush spelling at the end. Thrush is pronounced with a short u /uh/ sound. Whereas bush has a short /oo/ sound.


Bough and Plough both have the "ow" sound. Shrill and hill both have the short /i/ sound. Shed and bred both have the short /e/ sound.

Match the fallacy type to the statement that illustrates it.
valkas [14]

The fallacy of <em>logos</em> is "the last time it rained, our local sports team won. It is raining today, so they will win tonight". It's logos because in order to persuade a target audience it uses a statement empowered by logic. The logical reasoning suggests that if the last time the match was played was raining and they won, now that it's raining again, the will win again. The logical thought is that <em>when it rains, the local team wins.</em>

The fallacy of <em>pathos</em> is "If we don't pass this environmental protection bill now, the world will probably end soon". It's pathos because this fallacy tries to persuade by provoking certain emotions or feelings to readers. In this way, the statement is more appalling to the reader and it feels more emotionally attached to it. By talking about the end of the world, the writer is<em> </em><em>trying to evoke feelings of awareness, sorrow and frightening.</em> So by provoking these feelings, <em>readers may become more aware and concerned</em> about the environmental changes that the human kind needs to make now in order to prevent the complete destruction of our world.

The fallacy of <em>ethos</em> is "My favorite teacher said that we should vote for Mr.Martinez, so I believe he is the best". It's ethos because the writer is convincing people by the credibility or authority of the speaker. In this case, the teacher represents a credible and respectful figure. So the reader <em>decides to vote for whom the teacher said just because THE teacher said that.</em>
