Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics. So what do the bagel data have to say? In recent years, there

have been two noteworthy trends in the overall payment rate. The first was a long, slow decline that began in 1992. By the summer of 2001, the overall rate had slipped to about 87 percent. But immediately after September 11 of that year the rate spiked a full 2 percent and hasn’t slipped much since. (If a 2 percent gain in payment doesn’t sound like much, think of it this way: the nonpayment rate fell from 13 to 11 percent, which amounts to a 15 percent decline in theft.) Because many of Feldman’s customers are affiliated with national security, there may have been a patriotic element to the 9/11 Effect. Or it may have represented a more general surge in empathy. The excerpt serves as which type of support for the authors’ argument? a claim a counterclaim evidence an umbrella statement

"Freakonomics" is a book written by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner (2007) in which the authors discuss the hidden side of some issues affecting us. For example, they present some interrogants such as what is more dangerous: a gun or a pool? or why do drug dealers continue to live with their mothers? Hence, they are not the typical questions asked by economics experts. In this case the given excerpt serves as evidence  to support the author's argument since they use statistics taken from different years to ilustrate what the bagel data had to say.

The correct answer is EVIDENCE.

<span>Which poets address it in terms of the times they live in (and its threat of fascism) and which address it in a more personal way?
</span>
Answer: First we should know that both of these poet's had a bad experience in their lives, suffering similarly under tyranny and oppression during World War II, which shaped their perspective in very different ways. Milosz is the one that took it very personally and considered his life as emotionally destroyed while Szymborska looked at it as another chance at life that might never be given again. It is clear that the poet that addresses death in terms of the times they live in and as a threat of fascism is Milosz. This is apparent in the poem “City Without A Name”.

I hope this helps, Regards.

How does “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” break away from traditional poetic conventions? Select all that apply.
gulaghasi [49]

A.

The incorporation of many allusions to other texts breaks with poetic conventions inasmuch as poetry is traditionally based in telling the story of a character or a group of characters in a straightfowards fashion that does not refer to things outside the story except in a referential sense. This would be the case in most epic poetry, like the ´Iliad´ or ´Paradise Lost´.

B.

The poem distorts the traditional meaning of poetry in the sense that traditional poetry is based in the epic form, where clearly delineated characters are set out in some traditional heroic or tragic scenario. Prufrock´s existence is opposed to any real heroic or classic tragic plot.

Find the incorrect pronoun and type it correctly.
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Pilots should carefully check every control in the cockpit before they request  permission for takeoff.

Explanation:

Pronoun-antecedent errors happen when a pronoun does not agree with its antecedent, which can create confusion in your writing. Pronouns are generic noun replacements such as him, her, it, and them. An antecedent is the noun that the pronoun replaces.

Select the clause from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the sentence.
Lina20 [59]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>OPTION C</h2>

In linguistics, a clause is the shortest grammatical part that can represent a whole proposition. A typical clause consists of a subject and a predicate, the latter typically a verb phrase, a verb with several objects and other alterers. However, the subject is sometimes not stated or specific, often the state in null-subject languages if the subject is retrievable from context, but it sometimes also happens in other languages such as English.
