English
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]1 year ago
8 0

Answer:

It should be discontinued if it isn't morally right to do.

Explanation:

The tradition in <em>The</em><em> </em><em>Lottery</em><em> </em>was that every year, the town would have a lottery. Whoever won would be stoned and killed. They don't really have a reason to do this other than it being a tradition that has already been done dozens of times.

A tradition should be discontinued if it isn't morally right. It isn't right to kill a town member every year for doing nothing wrong, so it should be discontinued.

adelina 88 [10]
C.

First of all, in this statement the speaker introduces herself and immediately lets the audience know why this topic is so important to her. Audiences are more likely to be invested in a speech if they know the speaker is personally invested in the cause. It also begins with an example of pathos--an emotional appeal to the audience--which is effective in drawing an audience in. 

You want to avoid throwing a lot of numbers or other researchers' names at the audience immediately upon starting (even though you will definitely want to use those things within the speech) because they will make the tone seem too formal or fact-based before the audience has a chance to become invested.

gogolik [260]
I believe the correct answer is - <span>Garcia uses formal, academic language and location words to suggest a theory about fate.
As you can see in the excerpt above, Garcia is using words such as vagaries, happenstance, etc, which are not normally used in everyday conversations. Thus, they are a bit formal, academic, and suggest a certain message in the text.

Which sentence provides the best supporting evidence for the claim? If students spend even 10% of their time being distracted by
Olin [163]

Answer:

The statement 'A 1993 study showed that teachers tend to favor males over females, thereby creating an inequality in mixed-gender schools' provides the best supporting evidence for the claim.

Explanation:

Statement D best supports the claims because it provides evidence based on researches and data. A hypothesis statement or claim is always considered to be true when it is supported by sufficient researches and statistical data. Statement D is using research and data from a 1993 study to claim its point. Hence, it is the best statement that supports the claims.

The other options do not provide any research or data study to support their claim hence, other options are wrong.
