The tone of the story "Talk" by Harold Courlander and George Herzog is humorous. The story revolves around a farmer being first frightened by the talking yam whom he wants to dig, followed by the dog who told him to listen to the yam, then the palm tree who warned him not to cut its branch. The farmer ran off meeting a fisherman who also ran off hearing the fish trap talk. They come across a weaver whose bundle of cloth talked and then ran with them together. The story is really funny because of the talking characters in the story including the stool in the chief's house.

The gulf stream and global warming reading passage answers ?
Bumek [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the article or the link to access it. Without that information, we do not know specifically what you are referring to.

However, trying to help, we can comment on the following terms.

There is an article titled <em>"Slowing Gulf Stream Current to Boost Warming for 20 Years,"</em> written by Matt McGrath on July 19, 2018, that exposes the concerns of environmental scientists about the issue of how the gulf stream is slowing down and the effects this could have in the short and medium terms.

One of the consequences of this phenomenon could be the cooling of Europe and other parts of the world in a relatively short period. Scientists think that this situation and the melting of the ice caps in the North Pole will add to the severity of the cooling of the world, and the consequences for humans.

''APEX" . Which sentence from a business letter most clearly uses biased language? A. During my last job, they practically had t
Xelga [282]

Answer: C. I look forward to working with a woman doctor soon.

Bias refers to an unfair prejudice a person has towards a particular group, person or thing. In this sentence, the author is showing a gender bias, as he prefers to work with women than with men. Whether that is a "positive" stereotype (women are more capable, they work harder, etc.) or a negative one (women are more attractive, easier to control, etc.), it gives an unfair advantage to one gender over the other one with no fair justification. Therefore, it  is to be discouraged in the workplace.
