Answer:
Statistics about the number of books written by past recipients of the Nobel Prize in Literature
A quotation by a literary scholar explaining why Dylan’s lyrics are not poetry quotations from both Tarantula and Chronicles: Volume One
Explanation:
To make a rebuttal is to counter a claim that is made against someone by providing contrary evidence.
There was a claim that Dylan's Nobel Prize award was not accurate because his lyrics were not considered as literature and thus do not qualify for the award.
The supporting evidences are that a quotation by a literary scholar was provided to corroborate the claim that Dylan's lyrics are not poetry.
Another supporting evidence is that the number of books written by past winners were more when compared to the few number Dylan wrote.
You forgot to mention that this question is about the article "The Flight from Conversation".
Answer:
With the use of oxymoron, Turkle meant that we live constantly alone, but always in "contact" with the people we care about through technology. This statement influences the entire article showing how this ability is affecting our personal relationships.
Explanation:
The article shows how technology has enabled an atificial and shallow form of community. This is because technology allows us to talk to anyone, anywhere in the world, however, this communication does not form bonds and we are always alone.
However, we are alone in a collective way, since all people use this same type of communication. This results in the creation of large groups, which in fact do not exist, are not substantial. As the author of the article says, technology makes us come "a tribe of one."

An anorexic person is one who has a eating disorder that causes him/her to be obsessive with what they eat as well as their weight. It is characterised by an inordinate fear of being overweight
The author was discussing around man's needs & how that man cannot escape those basic needs. Maslows introduced the concept of hierarchy of needs & classified them into 5 strata namely: psychological, security/safety, social, esteem & self-actualization (the Maslows pyramid is attached). Maslows proposed that people would fulfil the fundamental needs before moving on to other needs. As such, an anorexic is only trying to shy away from his/her fundamental & basic need (in this case, food). But much more in this case, the anorexic person is staying off food to fulfil his/her <u>social need</u> (to 'belong' & be accepted). <u>We see that anorexia can be an offshoot of social need</u>
<u>Hence, the author is pointing out a disease that could arise on the third level of the hierarchical needs. This means option C is the correct answer</u>
