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.

In about two hundred words, explain how Achebe portrays the Igbo customs, cultural experience, and laws. Reference specific exam
prohojiy [21]

Other essays and articles in the Literature Archives related to this topic include : Women, Colonization& Cultural Change in “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe • Comparison of Tragic Characters in Things Fall Apart and Oedipus the King • Comparison Essay on Things Fall Apart and My Antonia

The novel “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, while often thought to offer readers an accurate portrait of Igbo or African culture in general, often does not effectively represent the culture it seeks to portray. More generally, one of the challenges of the fiction genre, and of the frequent criticisms lodged against it, is the manner in which history, people, and place are integrated into the narrative. Writing a fictive narrative that is based on real people, places, and events poses some inherent dangers, not the least of which is the possibility of inaccurate or partial representation of Igbo culture. This is particularly true for novelists who are writing about non-Western cultures for Western audiences. Such is the case in “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, in which the author writes about members of a Nigerian tribe.

Which underlined words form a dependent clause?
pickupchik [31]
There is only one sentence among these that contains a dependent clause, and that is the third option - Although the rain poured down, the Eagles and Panthers continued their soccer game.
The remaining sentences are all simple, meaning they contain only one independent clause (except for sentence 2, which is compound, meaning it has 2 independent clauses).
