The statement is a theme of the novel. Typically, it is because novels have narrative and characters' arc. Here, the protagonists encounter negative and positive experiences where they make a decision. And in every decision, it triggers the characters to internalize very well their actions. Thus, making them more careful. 

A lot of novels such as The Ghostwriter by Alessandra de Torre, Harry Potter by J.K Rowling possess this kind of theme.

In The Ghostwriter, Helena Ross suffers from the guilt of killing her family and brain cancer. This causes her to be imperious and hateful to other people as she grows up.  But she has experienced positivity, where Mark, her friend, helps her to become alive again and take away her burden. In the end, Helena becomes human with gladness in her heart.

In Harry Potter, look at how Harry Potter becomes stronger even without his parents and Sirius. He looks very lonely, sometimes discriminated by the Malfoys. However, in the end, he defeats Voldemort because he believes he has still friends beside him. 

The point is when negative and positive experience overlap, it creates a power that truly pushes a person to act, to make decisions, and be the person he or she really is.

For the novel: Their Eyes Were Watching God

“Negative experiences, as well as positive ones, strengthen us and can help us become the person we are meant to be.”

This could be a theme of the novel. When we follow Janie back in time and watch her girlhood end, we see that only her physical needs are met. Most importantly, she lacks the nurturing love of her parents and is instead choked by Nanny’s overbearing protectiveness. When Janie’s forced marriage to Logan results in a similarly overbearing love, we watch her spirit crumble and reemerge disillusioned, though not defeated: “Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman.” From here, we watch her continue to search for the mutually uplifting love she witnessed between the bee and blossoms. And after years of hurt and humiliation in her two failed marriages, we finally see her realize her heart’s desire of respectful love in her marriage to Tea Cake. In Hurston’s novel, she seems to stating universal truths and making observations about life.

Answer:

Research related to the popular use of social media in Egypt.

A statistic supporting the claim that social media use in Egypt is not widespread.

Widespread testimony about how social media use has changed in Egypt.

Explanation:

These are the three options that explain the types of evidence that the authors used in this excerpt.

First, the authors talk about the popular use of social media in Egypt when they argue that the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project has looked at this information.

Second, the authors employ a statistic that supports the fact that social media is not widespread when they say that 65% of people do not use the Internet.

Finally, the authors use widespread testimony when they argue that most people who are online use social media to learn about the political situation in their country.

However, the authors never talk about how social media changed after the Arab Spring.

How do journeys influence perspective?
Naddik [55]
When you take journeys, especially to other places, your perspective is changed. You see different aspects of the world and notice major differences in other societies and ways of life. Many are confused by these, but some will be able to think deeper into the meanings of these new ways and traditions. You realize the world isn’t exactly what you thought it was. Or if you are on a journey that might be physically or mentally challenging your mind is opened up to new ideas as well. You are mentally and physically stronger which helps you to grow and reflect

algol13

Answer:

The correct answer is Great care was taken to keep the truth from the public.

Explanation:

The ambulance members were trying not to be seen by any person when they were going to the monkey house. That's why they wore camouflaged suits, and no member of the ambulance wore the suit they should be wearing.

They even parked in the backyard of the house to avoid being seen.

All this is evidence that they wanted to hide the truth from the public.
