Assertiveness is someone who is behaving confidently and is not frightened to say what they want. <span>Assertive just means that you make things happen. You take action rather than the opposite, which would be 'passive'. That would mean you just sit by and let things happen to you, instead of making them happen for yourself. Being assertive is a good thing.

Arrogance is </span><span>an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions.
</span>
Passivity is allowing others to do things to you without complaining or pushing back. The babysitter's passivity<span> led her charges to walk all over her. They stayed up all night and tied her to the chair, and all she said was, "Please stop misbehaving." or something like that.</span>

Assertiveness is self-confidence that does not infringe on the feelings of others. Assertiveness allows a person to state their needs and assert their ideas. Arrogance, on the other hand, is highly confrontational. An arrogant individual insists on their viewpoint or idea because it is theirs, rather than the best possibility. A passive person, on the other hand, is unwilling to assert their needs and wants. They often put themselves in difficult positions because they are unwilling to refuse requests and demands on their time based on the idea of avoiding confrontation.

How do Monsieur Hamel's actions contribute to the development of both the theme and main idea within the story?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Monsieur Hamel's actions contribute to the development of both the theme and main idea within the story because he wants to show the students that no matter the circumstances, they should remember to not let the lessons they've learned go to waste.

In paragraph 30, it states,

"Thereupon he turned to the blackboard, took a piece of chalk, and, bearing on with all his might, he wrote in the largest letters he could: “VIVE LA FRANCE!”

Monsieur Hamel does not want the students to feel discouraged about the new life that they'll be forced into. He wants them to not forget everything and for them to continue learning French.

Which of the following explains why language can be called arbitrary? Select all that apply.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Language can be called arbitrary because, Words do not inherently resemble the objects that they represent and The word chair does not resemble the object it represents.

Explanation:

Languages are Arbitrary means that there is no relationship between the words that we use and the natural meaning of that particular word.

Words do not inherently resemble the objects that they represent. There are certain words which might be meaningless to some, but those are the exact words which are understood by many. Say for example, the word ‘chair’ doesn’t necessarily resemble the object it represents. It doesn’t tell us anything about what exactly the kind or type of object it is referring to.

The coach, who has ten years' experience, has agreed to lead our team.
Simora [160]
The answer which explains the difference between these two sentences is <span>B. The first sentence contains a nonessential adjective clause that modifies the noun "coach"; therefore, it provides the reader with interesting details about the subject of the sentence. The second sentence contains an essential adjective clause that modifies the noun "coach"; therefore, it clarifies for the reader which coach is being discussed.

A is incorrect because there is no predicate nominative here (a noun following a linking verb, because there are no linking verbs in the sentence), which is also the reason why C is incorrect. Also, D is incorrect because there is no adverb clause.</span>
