Answer:

Water travels through the passages in a manner that is similar to water flowing through pipes in a plumbing system.

Explanation:

In the passage, the author has compared the geysers' plumbing system with the underground water-filled boiling water as the movement of the water in passages are similar to the course of water through pipes in the plumbing systems.

The writer in this passage is talking about the fickleness of the geysers. The writer supports it by saying that this fickleness is because of the frequent changes that an underground passage goes through, which is filled with boiling water.

<u>The current of water in both the passages and the pipes are similar, this is why the writer used the reference of 'geysers plumbing system.'</u>

Thus the correct answer is the second option.

Water travels through the passages in a manner that is similar to water flowing through pipes in a plumbing system.

Explanation:

I believe this answer choice would best explain the use of the comparison because in the same sentence, the author is writing about the "system of underground passages," (which are filled with water) and this answer choice is the only one that actually discusses how the water travels through the system.

Analyze Explain Mario Cuomo’s conundrum.
Annette [7]

This question is about "A Quilt of a Country"

Answer and Explanation:

Mario Cuomo's enigma was exposed to show how the USA imposes the concept of individualism on its growing population and encourages the adoption of this concept in all possible activities, however, in addition to being a defining concept of the American population, it is also a concept that is in constant conflict, thus creating a "social paradox", so to speak, because the nation that grew in an individualistic way, sees itself in various situations where it needs to work in the collectivity and in solidarity.

Within the text, Quindlen uses this concept of conflict between the collective and individualism as support for the argument that the USA is a multicultural nation, full of the most different ethnicities, but all this difference does not prevent the country made up of a single people that is subject to a single government.

Ineffective communicators mindlessly or thoughtlessly say and do things that they may later regret,they are ignoring which funda
Nikolay [14]

Effective communication implies a process where an understanding of a message between a sender and a receiver takes place.

Effective communication requires the sender to know the purpose of the message. This is what we know as <em>principle of objective</em>. The sender must know what he wants to transmit and what he's going to get with it, as a final result. That's the reason why mindlessly communicators regret what they say, because they didn't think it through. They didn't have a <em>clear purpose</em> or <em>objective</em> when they sent their message.
