Read the following excerpt from a 1775 speech by Patrick Henry in which he presents his ideas concerning the American colonists'

relationship with Great Britain:
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the house? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss.

What is most likely the author's purpose in this section of the speech?

A. To elicit a strong emotional response from the audience
B. To question the motives behind recent Parliament legislation
C. To reflect upon his own experiences with diplomacy with Britain
D. To warn against the unlikelihood of British cooperation

The SMCR model suggests that problems in communication can arise when a sender and a receiver have different A. body language. B
AleksAgata [21]

That's right, the correct answer is C.

The Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver (SMCR) model identifies individual components of a communication act, which in turn are affected by diverse factors that combined can result in a more or less efficient communication. The four components are sender, message, channel and receiver.

People from different cultures may understand the same message differently. Things can be accepted in one culture and considered very offensive in another. Therefore is important that communication is performed between a sender and a receiver who have the same cultural background or who have an understading on how to deal with the cultural background of the  other interlocutor, in case it is not the own one.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

B) She values romance over truth.

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from Act III of The Importance of Being Earnest.

Cecily. Gwendolen, your common sense is invaluable. Mr. Moncrieff, kindly answer me the following question. Why did you pretend to be my guardian’s brother?

Algernon. In order that I might have an opportunity of meeting you.

Cecily. [To Gwendolen.] That certainly seems a satisfactory explanation, does it not?

Gwendolen. Yes, dear, if you can believe him.

Cecily. I don’t. But that does not affect the wonderful beauty of his answer.

What does this excerpt most clearly convey about Cecily?

A) She values truth over creativity.

<u>B) She values romance over truth. </u>

C) She values logic over romance.

D) She values creativity over logic.

Cecily likes Algernon's romantic answer rather than the truth on why Algernon was pretending to be her guardian's brother. This indicates that she values romance over the truth.
