This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Goemon jumped up. "Agreed," he said, jamming his "knife" into his sash and slashing at Manjiro’s "sword." Their imaginary swords clashed and clattered as they lunged or leaped aside to avoid being hit. Which words contribute most to the excerpt’s pace?
A. "imaginary" and "aside"
B. "sash" and "swords"
C. "slashing" and "lunged"
D. "Goeman" and "Manjiro"
Answer:
The words that contribute most to the excerpt's pace are C. "slashing" and "lunged".
Explanation:
<u>When we think of pace, we think of rhythm, of moving fast, slow, with regularity, with cadence, etc. </u>The words an author uses help readers feel the pace of what is being described more intensely. <u>If the characters are acting or moving fast, or if conflicts are developing slowly, the only way for readers to visualize that is through the author's word-choice. In the case of the excerpt we are studying here, we can say the writer establishes a fast pace through the use of the words "slashing" and "lunged". Both words imply rapidity of movement, celerity, quickness and, for that reason, has the readers imagining the scene in a vivid, accelerated manner.</u>
Correct answer choice is:
<h2>
B) Odysseus is the main focus of the story.</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>
Odysseus attempts to accomplish an aim and the Cyclops prevents him or Odysseus simply is mentioned among his company. Odysseus was a fabulous star in Greek mythology, lord of the island of Ithaca and the central warrior of Homer's story, the Odyssey. He was also a leading figure in the different surviving Homeric story, the Iliad. He was the son of Laertes and Anticlea and is quite recognized as an expressive orator, intelligent and clever.
A code of Ethics is the framework of rules and regulations, almost the guideline, that an institution, or organization, may have, to help its members or workers choose the correct actions to take when facing a dilemma or a problem, in accordance with the principles and the mission and vision of the institution or organization. Although mostly seen in organization, there are also codes of ethics that are personal and these help an individual decide the right way to act in difficult situations. In the case of this scenario, there is a huge problem; the reporter is faced with her relationship to the person being investigated and about who she must report. Because of this familial relationship between reporter and investigated, the reporter should, C, tell the editor-in-chief about her relationship to the pilot, and ask that the story be assigned to another. This is the ethical thing to do because it allows the superior to know that there will be a conflict of interests and a possible bias, whether the reporter wants to or not. It also allows the chief to decide whether the connection between the two will affect the reporter´s abilities or not.
Answer:
The question above is a moral one.
In order to achieve a balance, we must become aware that the Author and Consitution that measures morality puts everyone on the same level.
That is, if one person lies, they are no different morally from one who steals.
This realisation that there is 'right' and 'wrong' and that there is one that administers over everyone to check the latter, helps with conviction and checks one from being too quick to be others to judgement.
It's key to note that the good book makes it clear that a servant rises or falls before his Master and that with the same measure that one person judges another, shall he or she be judged.
Man at the best will always be imperfect. There are three stages of imperfection:
- Imperfect but getting worse
- Imperfect but just in-between
- Imperfect but getting better consistently
