Answer:
There is some truth to the claim that, "All cities today are world cities". All the emerging cities of Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia are linked to the global economy and, particularly, to the network of world cities, in a variety of ways. But it is also clear that various metropolises fit into the world urban hierarchy at different levels and play very distinctive roles in that wider system. Analysis of urban systems, whether global, national, or regional, from the perspective of geography or sociology, using the old human ecological framework or the newer urban political economy approach, emphasizes power and dominance. Furthermore, one of the key advantages of identifying where places fit into positions in these systems, is that "structural isomorphism" will lead to similar roles. In other words, if two cites are at or about the same level in the urban hierarchy, we should logically expect them to follow broadly similar dynamics. In the 1970s and 1980s, at a time when the neo-Marxist world-system scholarship was blossoming, an "urbanization in the world-economy" approach emerged. This perspective took its initial impetus from Manuel Castells’ suggestion that we should consider the growth of third world cities as “dependent urbanization.

Answer:
E. suggests that the speaker's vocabulary is limited
Explanation:
The question above is related to the poem entitled "Sestina: Like," written by A.E. Stallings. It is a fixed verse type of poem which consists of<em> six stanzas.</em> Every stanza has<u> six lines. </u>
The repetition of versions of the word "like" at the end of the lines allows the poem to focus on its subject matter. This allows the central concept of the poem to be unified. It also shows that the poet used the word "like" as a play on words because it provides "humor" to what is happening in the society today.
So, this concludes that <u>using the word "like" doesn't mean the poet has a limited vocabulary.</u>
Thus, this explains the answer.
One way of technology advancement that has led to similarities in the two pictures is the idea of long-lasting lights or LED lights. In the pictures, both cities have numerous big TV ads that require a lot of light to make sure it stays bright and appealing. Through the invention of LED lights, light bulbs can now last longer and won’t have to worry people about frequently changing light fixtures. This allows for the bright lights advertisements in New York City and Tokyo. Another technological advancement in both photos is the fact of how both landscapes came to look like each other. This is through advances in communication such as social media and television. The popular landscape of Times Square in New York was definitely posted on the internet or showcased on the news and people around the world found it fascinating. The City of Tokyo then decided to have Shibuya Crossing look the same too to attract tourists as well. The cultural pattern of Times Square then diffused to other cities. Advances in communication technology has caused similarities in many cultural landscapes, especially from New York City to Tokyo.
Increased internet access has contributed to convergence in cultures through many platforms such as social media and messaging. When different countries all have access to the same internet program, people from each country can communicate and converge their cultures. For example, popular posts on social media of a fashion trend in Japan can lead to the same fashion trend in the United States. And since other countries can also see that post on the internet, they might start to follow that fashion trend too. The Japan fashion culture has then diffused through many parts of the world because more people across the globe have increased internet access.
The way an ethnic food can become popular in menu items across the globe is thorough relocation diffusion. An ethnic food may be introduced to a new country and the people there will come to like it and possibly to change to their preferences. For example, pizza was a dish invented in Italy, therefore it is an ethnic food for Italy. People from different parts of the world came to Italy, tried the pizza, and decided to have that meal in their country too. Pizza is now very popular, especially in the United States and people in the United States have also changed the pizza and made other flavors like Hawaiian for their liking. A widespread menu item becomes popular also by stimulus diffusion, since people are changing the original recipe of the pizza and making it gluten free or vegan. Any ethnic food can become a popular global dish by relocating to another country and satisfying the people there with that particular dish.
