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.

In her poem “In a Queen’s Domain,” what does Piatt seem to be inferring about the world in these lines"
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

In her poem, "In a Queen's Domain", Piatt seems to be inferring that the world is not always perfect.

<u>“And my subject, the dove, coos on, / Though my hand creep close to her nest.”</u> tries to show that the world is made up of both the good and the bad people. The dove signifies the people that have a pure heart even though they are surrounded by people that seek to hurt them. The hand creeping close to the nest signifies the people that try to take advantage of the pure heart of the doves.

Piatt is depicted as imperfect and human because she conveys her realist views about nature and society. She does not seem interested in adhering to the romanticization of nature and women.

Date- 16th August 2018

Dear Mother,

How are you? Everything is well at my end and hope the same with you. In this letter, I wanted to tell you about today as today was one of the most hectic days. Because of the Independence Day celebration, I was very tired since yesterday. And today my maths teacher had asked us to complete the assignment tomorrow itself. Although I've completed the task but have become very tired.

For now, I’m ending the letter. Will talk about it more in another letter. Take care of yourself.

Here it became apparent that Mr. Pilkington was about to spring some carefully prepared witticism on the company, but for a mome
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

C). Parody compares the pigs with human leaders in the real world.

D). Exaggeration makes Pilkington seem ridiculous and similar to the pigs.

E). Satire creates an attitude of contempt for the pigs’ treatment of the other animals.

Explanation:

Satire is demonstrated as the literary device that employs irony, humor, overstatement, or ridicule to reveal and comment upon the follies or vices inherent in the society or an individual.

In the given excerpt from 'Animal Farm', Orwell's use of parody(imitation of a specific author or genre to intentionally exaggerate it  and generate a comic effect) assists in establishing the comparison between the pigs and human leaders which critiques the foibles of the latter mockingly. Exaggeration helps in ridiculing Pilkington's foolishness that makes him look similar to the pigs. While <u>satire displays Orwell's disdainful attitude towards the manner in which the pigs(representing Pilkington) treat other animals('long working hours, absence of pampering')</u>. Thus, the satire assists in highlighting and critiquing the corruption and vices of the leader like Pilkington more effectively before the audience. Thus, <u>options C, D, and E</u> are the correct answers.
