Modern neuroscience has found that once we pass adolescence, the human brain is no longer plastic.

Study the poster showing characters from the movie Star Wars and created by the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare

svetlana [45]

Answer:

The answer is "The photograph shows fictional film characters, used to 'sell' immunization."

Explanation:

A testimonial is one of the most common and effective advertising techniques. You may notice that the products you've been using are endorsed by either famous celebrities or satisfied customers, giving their feedback about the product. In other cases, some promotional ads use experts' opinions about the product. These are examples of testimonials.

In this case, the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare use Star Wars' characters to sell the idea of immunization.

In 1977, the first installment of Star Wars was released, and it was a certified box office. The irony illustrates that the two characters were not human beings, but they're warning humans regarding immunization. It may sound funny, but people bought it. And it's because of the characters in the poster.

R2D2 and C3P0 were the characters used in the poster who played supporting but remarkable roles in the movie franchise. The creators of the poster took advantage of how famous these two were and cited as likeable sources since many people loved them.

Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt? It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

tatiyna

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Dispatches.

By autumn, what had begun as an adventurous expedition had turned into an exhausting, indecisive war of attrition in which we fought for no cause other than our own survival.

Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt?

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

b. it is unusual that soldiers should ever be forced to fight merely to survive.

c. it is surprising that the expedition turned out to be so exhausting and difficult.

d. it is unfortunate that the soldiers did not have the easy time they had anticipated.

Answer:

The statement which best explains the paradox in the excerpt is:

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

Explanation:

A paradox can be defined as a statement that at first may seem to contradict itself or simply to be absurd. We all know how horrific war is. Battles involve suffering, pain, trauma, killing/dying, or becoming forever disabled. For that reason, it seems absurd that someone would describe war as "an adventurous expedition." An adventure is often an activity seen as both exciting and dangerous. However, it is not fatal. We do not expect to go on an adventure and die.
