For hours they stood there, hearing no sound, and seeing nothing but the smooth, high walls on either side of the passage and th

By referencing the time and even though it most likely is a hyperbole it's the length of time and the silence they stood in that builds a suspenseful tone along with the fact the walls around them are tall and smooth like that of the rooms one normally imagines in a horror or thriller movie or story. They seem isolated and disconnected in a silence that nothing wants to penetrate but their wails and sobs. sounds of pain and death.

How might man make the argument that ""prosperity for one is prosperity for others""? Animal Farm - George Orwell
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Prosperity for one is prosperity for others

Explanation:

we live in misery, laboriousness and shortness of life. We are born, we obtain only so much food that the breath of our own blood will remain in our bodies, and those of us who are able to do so will be forced to work to the last atom in our power. Every animal knows the meaning of pleasure or leisure when he is one year old in England. For England there is no animal free of charge. An animal's life is wretchedness and slavery: that's real.

Man is the only animal that consumes without making. It gives no milk, it doesn't lay eggs, it's too weak to pull the sting, it doesn't run fast enough to capture rabbits. He is, however, lord of all beasts. He gives them the bare minimum they can escape hunger, and he holds the rest for him. He puts them to work. Our labor makes the earth fertile, our dung makes it fertile.

Remember, comrades, you must never fool your resolution. You should not be misled by any argument. Always mind when they tell you that the common interest is for man and animals, that one's wealth is the happiness of another. Everything is lies. Nobody but himself serves the interests of any man. And there is true unity amongst us animals and perfect comradeship in war. Everybody is an enemy. Every animal is a companion.

The vote took place at once, and an overwhelming majority agreed that rats were companions. Only four people, the three dogs and the cat, were diagnosed and then voted on both sides.

Man's every habit is bad. And no animal will tyrannize his own kind, first and foremost. We are all brothers, weak or strong, smart or easy. No other animal should ever kill. Every animal is the same.

History, 04.06.2020 02:00, dbzrules02

Read the passage from the Houston Chronicle about air quality in Houston in 2019. “I’m surprised and disturbed that Houston’s air quality worsened in this year’s [American Lung Association ‘State of the Air’] report,” said Luke Metzger, director of Environment Texas. “The trend since 1999 had been one of steady progress and instead now it seems we are backtracking and that’s bad news particularly for the hundreds of thousands of people who have asthma or other vulnerable populations like senior citizens. . . .”

Current models estimate that more than 60 percent of ozone pollution is from cars, according to Raun, and to address that, the city is trying to encourage practices such as the use of mass transit and transitioning to fuel-efficient or low-emission vehicles.

How is Houston trying to combat increasing ozone pollution?

by raising taxes on vulnerable populations

by increasing access to health care

by encouraging use of mass transit

by prohibiting the sale of new cars

What is the overall tone of this poem? Hap by Thomas Hardy If but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh:
rjkz [21]
In Thomas Hardy's <em>Hap</em>, the speaker ponders about how it would be more bearable to think that all of his misfortunes happen because a greater power has decided so, than the <em>reality </em>(by his perspective) which is that his <em>bad luck </em>in life was a result of random chance and unfortunate coincidence. 

Because of his ponderance, we could say that this poem shows a reflective speaker. While some people think that this shows a pessimist thinker, Hardy was known for his realistic vision of life.

Therefore, your best answer is reflective.

Answer:

a. Adult students are frequently motivated to return to school... (Alex, Marks, & Jones, 2005).

Explanation:

It is important to consider that when information is paraphrased and you need to cite it, you have to include both the author/authors and the date such as in the example above. And although it is not a requirement, it is better to also include the number of the page from which the information was taken.

Visualization and categorization work well for visual learners. Is this a technique you think benefits you as a learner? Why or
vodomira [7]

Answer:

This technique benefits me as a learner as it helps me to visualise my method and approach to solving a problem before I go about solving it. This is pertinent especially in problem based subjects like mathematics. In learning, this is also helpful in helping me to internalise the information gathered, for example, being able to mentally link the information together on a concept map in your head or on paper also helps in retaining information. This concept of visualisation and categorisation is similar to the thinking process of computational thinking which involves breaking down the problem and solving it abstractly.

I do not agree that this only works for visual learners. While visual learners tend to be more inclined to this method of processing in their minds or on paper, I feel that everyone uses this method to a certain extent although through a different methodology or thought process.
