English

Answer:

The author creates suspense by providing possible scenarios of what may happen. The narrator examines the room in great detail, and the reader gets a sense that something can happen at any moment. The room becomes quiet and dark and, even as he goes to sleep, the narrator is convinced something will happen. Instead of immediately telling readers what happens when the narrator wakes up, the author provides ambiguous details. “I stretched out my hand to find out what was the nature of this object. I felt a face, a nose, and whiskers which made me jump straight out of the soaked sheets, and rush in my nightshirt into the corridor, the door of which I found open.” Finally, the narrator shares that he actually caused the whole incident to happen.

What theme is best revealed by this conflict? Sadness can destroy people. One must mourn before moving on. Many lives are lost t
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

One must mourn before moving on.

Explanation:

In the lines, the speaker talks about how they grateful that they still had their lives, but they were grief-stricken that their friends' lives had been lost. Before setting sail, they recognize the dead by raising a cry, three times. The best theme choice is that one must mourn before moving on. The ships do not leave port until they have mourned and saluted the lives of their friends who were lost. The other options aren't correct. There is no indicated that sadness destroyed anyone. Even though the speaker talks about the lives lost, he does not speak of them as being lost too soon. The last option is also not correct as there is no mention of lost souls.

Scarlet is directing a cable newscast. She wants to learn more about bias to make sure she produces the best, balanced newscast.
german

Answer:

Advertising Bias

This type of bias occurs when the newscaster or the news service presents news in such a way that it favors an entity instead of in an impartial way. For instance, reporting poor financial earnings reports such that people would not lose faith in the relevant company.

Selection bias

This occurs when the news service picks and chooses what kind of news it will present based on an agenda that they would like to push upon people instead of maintaining neutrality. For instance, Fox news giving positive news about the Presidency and CNN doing the opposite.

Mainstream bias

This occurs when the news presented or selected is done such that most people are not offended. It is quite prevalent in society and will involve most news services pushing the same narrative so that they do not fall out of favor with viewers.

In at least 150 words explain the puritan literature tradition and the works that upheld it
elixir [45]

Early literature written by Puritans in America often appeared as first person narratives in the form of journals and diaries. Early American colonists wrote their accounts of immigration, settling in America, and day-to-day life in journals to pass their stories down. Many Puritans also wrote letters to send back to Europe to family and friends they left behind. Very little fiction appeared during this period; Puritans valued realistic writing with an emphasis on religious themes.
