Read this passage from Beowulf, in which Wiglaf, one of Beowulf's men, speaks to his companions as Beowulf battles the dragon. W

iglaf then joins Beowulf and addresses him.
“I remember the time when, tasting the mead-cup,
We promised in the hall the lord of us all
Who gave us these ring-treasures, that this battle-equipment,
Swords and helmets, we’d certainly quite him,
Should need of such aid ever befall him:
How we have forfeited our liegelord’s confidence!
In the war-band he chose us for this journey spontaneously,
Stirred us to glory and gave me these jewels,
Since he held and esteemed us trust-worthy spearmen,
Hardy helm-bearers, though this hero-achievement
Our lord intended alone to accomplish,
Ward of his people, for most of achievements,
Doings audacious, he did among earth-folk.
Our lord is in sore need of us. 
The day is now come when the ruler of earthmen
Needeth the vigor of valiant heroes:
Let us wend us towards him, the war-prince to succor,
While the heat yet rageth, horrible fire-fight.”
 ... 
Through the bale-smoke he stalked then,
Went under helmet to the help of his chieftain,
Briefly discoursing: “Beowulf dear,
Perform thou all fully, as thou formerly saidst,
In thy youthful years, that while yet thou livedst
Thou wouldst let thine honor not ever be lessened.
Thy life thou shalt save, mighty in actions,
Atheling undaunted, with all of thy vigor;
he monster advances on them. 
I’ll give thee assistance.”

1. In his speech to his companions, Wiglaf 3) urges them to remember their duty.
Wiglaf is trying to persuade his companions not to give up, to give their lord a hand, to make them remember what they were there for. Beowulf is already old and cannot possibly deal with the monster on his own, which is why Wiglaf and the companions are supposed to help him.

2. Throughout this passage, Wiglaf is presented as 1) a model of loyalty.
He is the only one who doesn't give up on Beowulf, and doesn't leave him to die after his fight with the dragon. He is the only one who decides to stand up to the monster and fight him for his lord and country, and manages to kill the dragon, thus becoming Beowulf's heir.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Sentence A.

Explanation:

When using someone else's thoughts, ideas, sentences etc. in your work, it's necessary to avoid plagiarism, by properly quoting them.

There are basically two essential things to pay attention to:

- when paraphrasing someone one must put internal quotation just after the paraphrased piece of information. Internal quotation consists at least of the author's last name and page number from which the information was taken.

- when quoting someone (using his work word-by-word), the quoted content must be placed between quotation marks, followed by internal quotation.

Of course, regardless of the internal quotation, the proper citation must be provided at the end of the work, in the citation list.

So, with all this in mind, we can see that sentence A failed to obey these rules, which marks it as plagiarism.

Which text elements show that this is a workplace document? Select four options. a step-by-step procedure for workplace processe
lozanna [386]

Answer:

a step-by-step procedure for workplace processes

an explanation of a key detail in a company policy

a reference to the employer as the sender

a direct address to the company’s employees

Explanation:

Workplace documents are clear, logical, and concise.

The statements that show a document is a from a workplace are ones that are:

-directed at employees- procedures and instructions are regularly communicated to employees

- shows the employer who sent it - workplace documents show a trail of sender and receiver

- explains company policy - this shows it originated in the workplace

- step by step procedures - guides employee on acceptable way of carrying out tasks

The statement of day when a document was sent does not show that it is a workplace document. Informal or non workplace documents also show date when correspondence was made.
