Unlike Atticus and Calpurnia, Harper Lee does not give us a paragraph describing Jem. Instead we must learn about his character through his actions and speech. Sometimes Scout will use a descriptive sentence for her brother's character but mostly the reader learns about him as the story progresses. Many of Jem's statements in the first chapter are written in the imperative mood. For example, he says, "Don't blame me when he gouges your eyes out." By using the imperative mood, Harper Lee shows Jem to be older and seemingly the leader of Dill and Scout. The use of the indicative mood in Jem's dialogue also shows his stubbornness as a leader. When Dill is pressuring him into touching the house of Boo Radley, Jem says, "I'm going...don't hurry me." Even though Jem is worried about what may happen when he touches the house, he stays in control of the situation by using both the indicative and imperative mood in this sentence. Jem is also seen as the protector of Scout. When Jem is hesitant about making Boo Radley come out of the house because he fears for his life, Scout notes, "Besides, Jem had his little sister to think of." It is clear from this sentence, that Jem looks out for Scout which shows that he is a protective, responsible older brother.

ikadub [295]

The two claims that are best supported by reasons and relevant evidence are:

1) Exercising regularly will improve many aspects of one's life. Not only will you sleep better at night, but you will also learn better during the day and feel better in general. Many studies have shown the many benefits of regular exercise, and my doctor agrees with them.

This claim is supported by scientific evidence shown by studies and a professional opinion (although poorly presented).

2) Parents should teach their children financial responsibility early in life. Not only do children have expenses such as meals, snacks, and transportation, but they also need to learn how to realistically budget for their needs according to their income. This is an economic lesson that will prove invaluable when they grow up.

This claim is supported by real factual evidence (the expenses that most children have daily and the undeniable effect that learning this lesson will have in their future) .

Answer:

B. citing scientific evidence

Explanation:

In the essay "On the Mode of Communication of Cholera," the primary technique that author John Snow uses to support his claim that cholera spreads from person to person is "citing scientific evidence".

Snow scientifically revealed how cholera is transmitted through the medium of polluted water, its propagation by morbid poison that enters the alimentary canal and its communication in crowded areas were poor people reside.

Snow showed that cholera specifically showed how the disease spread by water contaminated by faeces.
