Answer:

Options One, Two, and Five are the correct answers.

Explanation:

Posting on a personal blog is not wrong by itself, but it could also mean that there are no standards for the evidence provided in the blog (it could come from just personal deductions or experiences), and it could also be provided as the one an only truth, turning it into a discardable source.

If the author does not have background or education on the field, he or she cannot talk about something that is very specialized, such as the latest discoveries in cancer treatment, due to the terminology or specific knowledge that is required to understand the complete picture, such as parts of the body or how cells work.

Finally, if the paper is looking for the latest discoveries, the early 1900s is the opposite from what is being required.

Answer:

  • The source is published on a personal blog.
  • The author does not have a background or education in the field.
  • The source is from the early 1900s.

Explanation:

For a research source to be valid it needs to pass credibility and for this, it is necessary that this source has scientific substantiation proven by a professional with academic training in that area, in this way it is perceived that a research source is not reliable if it comes from a personal blog, or a person with no academic background, or academic background in a different area.

In addition, science and technology change over the years. For this reason it is necessary that the search source be recent. A research source 100 years ago is not valid because it has been 100 years of evolution of science and things are very different now.

Match the different brainstorming techniques to their applications. Tiles

The correct matches are as follows:

1. FREE WRITING: Writing down first thoughts on a topic in a timed session, without pausing to check for relevance or grammar.

Brain storming is the process by which creative ideas and solutions are generated via intensive group discussion. There are lots of techniques that can be used during brain storming sessions and three of them are pre writing, clustering and three perspectives.

Free writing is a pre-writing method that involves continuous writing of thoughts and ideas for a set period of time without any regard for spelling, grammar, logical procession, punctuation, or structure; during this time one allow his thoughts to flow freely. Free writing produces the raw materials that are used for developing usable ideas. Pre writing is very useful in helping one to put down ideas that one has not considered previously.

2. CLUSTERING: Connecting ideas for a topic using different shapes and color-coding to identify how the ideas are related.

Clustering is another technique that is used during brain storming session. It involves writing down keywords or phrases that are relevant to one’s topic of interest and using drawn lines to identify the connections that exist among them. This method allows one to brainstorm in a visual manner.

3. THREE PERSPECTIVES: Describing the topic, tracing its history, and examining its connections with related topics.

Three perspectives is another method that is used during brain storming session. Considering a thing from three different sides help one to see it more completely and clearly. This method involves answering questions for each of the three perspectives considered and then looking for relationship or differences that exist among them. To do this, one has to describe the topic in detail, trace the history of the topic and find out how the topic relate to others.

Read each sentence and use the drop-down menu to determine which revision, if any, is needed.
Andre45 [30]

B. Add a hyphen between “twenty” and “seven.” Otherwise, it is written as two separate numbers, 20 and 7.

A. Delete the hyphen in “one-fourth.” You are counting the number of fourths, so a hyphen is not needed.

A. Add a comma after “trumpet.” This is called a serial comma, or an Oxford comma. Many people use it and some don’t. It is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from the preposition before the last item.

Which of the following shows the correct parenthetical citation from page 30 of an article in the July 1999 issue of starburst m
Rzqust [24]

The correct answer is C. (Perenson 30)

Explanation:

In writing, a citation refers to the use of the words and ideas of an external source and therefore another author, which is commonly used to support and explain the ideas during a text. According to the MLA manual and other style manuals for writing academical paper when using the ideas or words of another author it is necessary to make clear which ideas are being used and to whom they belong, this is done by using in-text citation during the text and creating a work cited list at the end of the document with all the information of the source cited.

In the case of printed articles from magazines or similar publications, it is established during in-text citation it is necessary to include the last name of the author of the article followed by the page number which is usually done by including this information in parenthesis or doing a parenthetical citation. This means in the case of the source presented the parenthetical citation should include the last name of the author "Perenson" and the page number "30" therefore the option that shows the correct parenthetical citation of this source is  (Perenson 30).
