Answer:

Adding the transition “however” at the beginning to connect the ideas better.

Explanation:

"However" is a <u>transition word </u>that is used to connect ideas in the text. In this case the author needs to connect sentence 4 ("Opponents argue that tablets aren’t a good choice because initially they’re very expensive.") to sentence 5 ("The secretary of education pointed out that tablets can be updated regularly, which saves money in the long run.") In other words, he tries to connect an idea of those that are against the use of tablets in schools to an argument in favor of it's use. To introduce a statement that constrasts with something that was said before "however" is used.

We can't replace "money" with "dough" as it is an informal way to name money, we are trying to convince audience giving arguments, formal words are needed. The same thing happens with the phrase "are awesomely fast" it takes away seriousness.

In what way does Nelly hope Lockwood will become involved in the other characters' lives? Why does Lockwood doubt the idea?
scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

As Nelly narrated her story and described events that occurred in the lives of certain characters/people during the previous winter, Lockwood, a stranger, was being entertained up to a point that Nelly wondered how long Lockwood would remain a stranger without falling in love with one of the characters: Catherine. Thus, Nelly hoped that Lockwood would fall in love with Catherine, and marry her. However, although Lockwood saw the possibility of falling in love, he doubted that his love would ever be reciprocated because he was not from the same hometown or land as Catherine.

5. Analyze the claim the author makes about distracted teenage behaviors and evaluate whether the evidence used to support this
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

After realizing a trial with green and red circles, where the participants had to find a correct target in order to obtain a reward, Zachary Rooper and his team announced that the attention of adolescents is related to rewarding information.  

<em>Once the  teenage brain has linked a behavior to that reward, it continues to seek the reward again and again.   That’s why teens are likely to opt for the reward of social media when they should be studying. Or why  they respond to texts while driving. </em>

Explanation:

This evidence cannot be sufficient to support his statement that teenage brains are constantly seeking to reward. Teenage distractions and lack of attention could be related to their studying habits and their interests, not with the rewards they are expecting from social media websites. Although the rewarding system can motivate middle school and high school students, it should not be related to another habit in their life. It's true that many parents reward their children for achieving good results at school, but their concentration is also related to their personality, study habits, etc.

Therefore, Rooper's statement could be partially applied to the teenage population, but it shouldn't determine their behavior, as some of these behaviors are related to their age and the essential period of their development.
