Answer:
- While tablets are expensive, most buyers can save money in the long run by purchasing e-textbooks instead of print books.
- However, the amount of money districts spend on paper used for copies, which tablets would largely replace, balances the implementation cost.
These two sentences are the best rebuttals to the counterclaim. The first answer is effective because it directly addresses the main concern of the opponents: the price of the tablets. It considers the counterclaim, accepts it, but provides a reason why this is not necessarily a problem.
The second answer similarly tackles the problem of funds, and provides a solution. The fact that paper would be less necessary eliminates the problem of cost, and reduces the effectiveness of the counterclaim.
The youth is already academically advanced compared to the past. I believe children should pursue happiness. They should still learn and pursue academic excellence. However I don’t think it is a bad thing to encourage children to find happiness.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
For the most part of the war, armies preserved old military tactics (fieldwork) of espionage rather than fully adapting to new techniques.
Here's why the other answers are incorrect:
A) "Photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances" in comparison to the previous wars, so A is incorrect. Intelligence was, for the most part, gathered in the same ways it had been previously, but these new technologies were still utilized.
B) Photograph and the telegraph are mentioned, but they are not the main point of the paragraph. Basically, "although the use of photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances," this fact is only being mentioned in the paragraph to emphasize the minimal progress of "the means of obtaining military intelligence," as intelligence was often still "gathered in simple ways" only. Armies "still relied on fieldwork." So B is incorrect.
D) Option D only refers to one source of information in the paragraph, "runaway slaves;" it does not fully or efficiently summarize the paragraph.
A - Although he denies them, Dr. Vasequez faced several scandals last year.
A complex sentences must have both a dependent clasuse (although he denies them) and an independent clause (Dr. Vasquez faced several scandals last year.
Options B and D are compound sentences (two independent clauses) and option C is a simple sentence.
