This question refers to the text The Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle .

Answer:

With this phrase Turkle means that because of technology, we are all alone since every time we share less with people in a physical way and we do it more in a virtual way. But since it's something we all do, she says we're in this together. That's why she uses the phrase <em>"alone together."</em>

Explanation:

These words have a great influence on what the whole article is, since she wants to emphasize that really the vast majority of people are in this situation.

People just want to pay attention to what interests them, ignoring everything that doesn't.

This means that we all get more and more into technology and ignore the people around us, just to communicate virtually.

We are alone, but together at the same time because we remain connected even though we are immersed in technology.

Kay [80]

Southern Gothic is a genre with a mood that combines Southern details, such as small-town life, with terror or suspense. Unlike early gothic literature about vampires and ghosts, Flannery O’Connor and others began writing about the monsters around us in everyday life. A key characteristic of this genre is having deeply flawed characters. In “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” both the grandmother and The Misfit are deeply flawed characters for very different reasons. The Misfit is a murderer who seems to have been created by a failed penal system, while the grandmother seems like a proper lady at first, but turns out to be selfish, a racist, and ultimately gets her whole family killed. It is through these characters that O’Connor explores the theme of good and evil, and whether people are truly capable of change.

Nady [450]
It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to complete this analogy, but hope this one helps. So if thread is to string, therefore, a cask is to barrel. A cask is a <span>large barrel like container made of wood, metal, or plastic, used for storing liquids especially those with alcohol. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Select the correct answer.

Answer:

ОА.  Some people think that the idea for the circus came from ancient times.

Explanation:

Based on the given excerpt from the article <em>The American Circus in All Its Glory</em>, it is safe to say that the writers, Joseph Bottum and Justin L. Blessinger retrace the history of how circuses came to be especially in the American context. This article delves deep into the how and why of circuses and how it has developed over the years and formed itself into the American culture.

The phrase<em> "popular myth typically traces the modern circus back to the ancient Romans"</em> <u>implies that the popular belief of people about the circus was that it originated from ancient times, more specifically the Romans</u>. But as we will read in the latter part of the article, this is not so. In fact, circuses and the very image of what we now picture as a circus is only a recent thing.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
