Read “Asian Men Can Jump,” by Gish Jen (2012, New York Times)
In 2012, Jeremy Lin led an unexpected winning streak by the New York Knicks, becoming the first Asian-American player to rise to prominence in the National Basketball Association. The writer Gish Jen published the following op-ed reflecting on the significance of Lin’s success.
Read the passage carefully, then complete the following tasks:
Identify a claim made by Jen and explain the reasoning underlying this claim.
List at least two pieces of supporting evidence from the passage and briefly explain how they support the claim you have identified
Answer:
Jen claims that her brother, Bob, could be "the fittest 58-year-old on the planet." Of course, this is not a claim to be taken literally. It means that his health and physical state is incredibly good for his age.
Explanation:
The evidence she provides is that her brother´s doctor has estimated Bob´s biological age at 35. She further supports her claim saying that "he´s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas," which is a monumental physical effort.
This is an example of figurative language i think... don't quote me hope i helped
Answer:
1: The first sentence lists specific conditions followed by what might eventually happen.
3: The second sentence starts with the expression “for this reason.”
4: The second sentence lists potential consequences of the situation described.
Explanation:
"The Prince" (1532) is a political treatise by Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) who was an Italian diplomat, politician, historian, and political philosopher.
The Chapter 5 of the book is "Conquered Free States, with their own laws and orders"
Option 1 might or might not be a cause-and-effect structure. It might not necessarily be cause-and-effect structure. Two events happening one after and other does not show that the first one is the cause and the second one effect. But, it is also true that in cause-and-effect structure one event (result) happens followed by another event.
Option 3 is correct because it clearly shows a cause-and-effect structure <u>(for this reason).</u>
Option 4 is correct because the events stated in the second sentence are the consequences (effect/result) of the situations described in the first sentence.
Option 2 is not cause-and-effect structure. "On the one hand" and "on the other hand" is used to describe two parallel and contrasting ideas. Hence, it is a contrasting structure.
Option 5 is not a cause-and-effect structure because the phrase <em>"citizen of the conquered city"</em> in no way shows the cause and effect of any situation
