An Turkles argument speaks to the superiority of face to face conversations over technology-aided or enabled communication such as emails and texting.

Turkle indeed alludes to the advantages given by the use of technology such as email and texting services etc to modify our conversation/message to perfection.

In her opinion, this is at best superficial in the long run and does not replace the good old fashion face to face (albeit "imperfect") mode of communication which allows for deeper connections that technology can ever allow.

She notes in paragraph 11 that Human relationships are worth a bundle, complicated and challenging. She indicates that humans have acquired the habit of using technology to make these interactions seem "flawless". According to Turkle, this shifting behaviour towards a perfect representation of self has only reduced conversation to electronic connections and that this has devalued the worth of human interactions which whose real benefit is in connecting with one another.

According to her, online connections don't present a substitute for real conversations Explanation:

Which revision puts the sample sentence in active voice?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The correct answer is B. Family members set places at the table for relatives who cannot attend.

The original, passive sentence was - <em>Places are set at the table by family members for relatives who cannot attend. </em>In order to revise this sample sentence into active voice, we need to put the subject of the sentence first - those who perform the action of setting the table - family members.

Therefore, options C and D are incorrect because the subject doesn't come first here - these two examples are still passive sentences. Options A and B are active; however, A is incorrect because members who aren't present cannot possibly set the table. Thus, the only correct answer is B.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Since sugar had to pass through many hands before it reached the fairs, it was ex
garri49 [273]

Answer:

As sugar became increasingly available to the English, they wanted to acquire even more of it.

Explanation:

This is the only option that can be inferred from the things stated in the excerpt. We can see that King Henry III negotiation skills had nothing to do with the amount of sugar he could get, as it was difficult for everyone to buy it. Sugar was very scarce and therefore very expensive. The passage doesn't describe England as the one that dominated trade with the Muslim World before Venbice did, so we can't infer it. It could be true or not, the text doesn't have the information to know it, we only are informed that when Venice took control, the sugar trade was expanded making the fairs unecessary.

<u>The thing that we know is that the English always bought more and more sugar as it was more available, King Henry III first bought three pounds, then four, later three hundred, one hundred years later the English bought thousands of pounds.</u> Therefore the demand increased.
