Which sentences in this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country" show that medals and awards in war don’t always bri

ng soldiers glory and acceptance?
The boys at first were very polite about my medals and asked me what I had done to get them. I showed them the papers, which were written in very beautiful language and full of fratellanza and abnegazione , but which really said, with the adjectives removed, that I had been given the medals because I was an American. After that their manner changed a little toward me, although I was their friend against outsiders. I was a friend, but I was never really one of them after they had read the citations, because it had been different with them and they had done very different things to get their medals. I had been wounded, it was true; but we all knew that being wounded, after all, was really an accident.

Critical news literacy requires applying the four D's of journalism: doubt, discern, demand and ...
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Detect

Explanation:

To be a journalist, there are four D's on which the journalist bases his thoughts. These four D's also motivate them to act, achieve success and prosper in their field. These four D's are;

1. Doubt: This implies that the journalist is meant to question every piece of information. He does not just accept them hook, line, and sinker, rather, he makes the effort to probe further to get to the root of matters.

2. Discern: This means that they have to think critically to obtain a fair balance. This implies that the journalist reasons objectively on matters, not with his emotions. He also makes the effort to determine which version of a story is more accurate, and then reports that.

3. Demand: This  is the ability of the journalist to request freedom of speech and seamless communication for the citizens, as well as a high quality of service delivery and content in the job they do with fellow colleagues.

4. Detect: This is the journalists 'nose for news'. Because they want to know the truth, they hunt down sources of news to get information from them. They assemble the bits so as to get a clearer picture.

Trying new things on the job is one way of staying sharp
Semenov [28]

It certainly is. Routine at work can lead to monotony, when we constantly repeat already well-learned actions. Routine can make us somehow sure, but not too much. Security arising from routine over time becomes a cause of lack of motivation, and therefore a loss of sharpness. Sometimes we think it's better not to face new challenges, as this could lead to mistakes that can cost us at work. It is desirable to try new things, not only when it is ordered from higher instances, but also on our own initiative, because this promotes our creativity, we become more motivated, happier, and most importantly, more productive, which goes directly to our advantage. This makes us more mobile and, of course, sharper, which is much closer to human nature, which wants to explore. Let us make mistakes, but they are an integral part of our sharpness.

<span>The quote "Cork hats and newspapers of more than eight pages were invented for the rain." most demonstrates that the author is using a comical tone because when an umbrella is not readily available, one finds themselves using any other common object to shield themselves from the rain and this is a very common occurrence!</span>

abruzzese [7]

Each author uses non-English words and figurative language.


The authors uses the words tortillas, pachucos, Oom-pah, and Gorditas. These are non-English words. They also use figurative language. When he says took the "tortillas out of his poetry", he is talking about how he is removing evidence of his Hispanic culture from his poetry. He thinks it will give him a better chance. In the second passage they are talking about overhearing someone who seems to wish for a heritage, not realizing that America has a heritage. The sensory detail of the American trees dangling their branches over his head is used to emphasize this.
