The correct option is: "Sydney draws visitors from all around the world to see its iconic architectural masterpiece—the Sydney Opera House."

<u><em>The dash </em></u>can be used in English to add explanatory phrases or comments, similar to parentheses. In formal writing, parentheses should be used instead of hyphens, since the latter sign is considered more informal. Dashes can be used to emphasize a sentence.

Sydney draws visitors from all around the world to see its iconic architectural masterpiece—the Sydney Opera House. I used the method of elimination  to narrow it down to that one.

How does this excerpt relate to the plot of the The Inheritors? It creates a shift in the mood, which was initially lighthearted
Natali [406]

Hello. You forgot to show the excerpt to which this question refers. This excerpt is:

Read the excerpt from Section 2 of the Espionage Act, which was enacted by the Congress of the United States on June 15, 1917. Section 2 Whoever, with intent or reason to believe that it is to be used to the injury or the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation, communicated, delivers, or transmits, or attempts to, or aids, or induces another to, communicate, deliver or transmit, to any foreign government, or to any faction or party or military or naval force within a foreign country, whether recognized or unrecognized by the United States, or to any representative, officer, agent, employee, subject, or citizen thereof, either directly or indirectly and document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blue print, plan, map, model, note, instrument, appliance, or information relating to the national defence, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than twenty years.  

Answer:

It strengthens the conflict by revealing the severity of the punishments that one convicted of spying will face.

Explanation:

"The Inheritors" is a book written by William Golding and establishes a conflict between homo sapiens and Neanderthals that culminated in the total extinction of Neanderthals as a punishment for the competition they exercised with homo sapiens.

The excerpt shown above about the Espionage Law establishes a relationship with the plot presented in "The Inheritors", since the excerpt strengthens the conflict by revealing the severity of the punishments that a convicted spying man will face.

Match the fallacy type to the statement that illustrates it.
valkas [14]

The fallacy of <em>logos</em> is "the last time it rained, our local sports team won. It is raining today, so they will win tonight". It's logos because in order to persuade a target audience it uses a statement empowered by logic. The logical reasoning suggests that if the last time the match was played was raining and they won, now that it's raining again, the will win again. The logical thought is that <em>when it rains, the local team wins.</em>

The fallacy of <em>pathos</em> is "If we don't pass this environmental protection bill now, the world will probably end soon". It's pathos because this fallacy tries to persuade by provoking certain emotions or feelings to readers. In this way, the statement is more appalling to the reader and it feels more emotionally attached to it. By talking about the end of the world, the writer is<em> </em><em>trying to evoke feelings of awareness, sorrow and frightening.</em> So by provoking these feelings, <em>readers may become more aware and concerned</em> about the environmental changes that the human kind needs to make now in order to prevent the complete destruction of our world.

The fallacy of <em>ethos</em> is "My favorite teacher said that we should vote for Mr.Martinez, so I believe he is the best". It's ethos because the writer is convincing people by the credibility or authority of the speaker. In this case, the teacher represents a credible and respectful figure. So the reader <em>decides to vote for whom the teacher said just because THE teacher said that.</em>

Which literary device is most clearly used in this passage?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Your answer would be that the literary device used in the passage is an analogy.

Explanation:

In the passage above, the author has used the literary device called analogy. An analogy is a comparison in which a thing or an idea is compared to another thing which is a little different from it. Its purpose is to explain the original idea by comparing it to something that is familiar. In this case, a relationship is compared to the way the stock market works. The author explains that both of them have ups and downs and that, in both cases, you only get what you put into them.

In at least 150 words, discuss in what ways the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass make a powerful case against slavery
Alenkinab [10]

Douglass was separated from his Harriet Bailey, his mother, soon after he was born as he tells us through his writings.


- ¨Never having enjoyed, to any considerable extent, her soothing presence, her tender and watchful care, I received the tidings of [my mother’s] death with much the same emotions I should have probably felt at the death of a stranger¨


In Chapter I of the Narrative, Douglass explains that his master separates him from his mother soon after his birth. This separation ensured that Douglass did not develop a family bond toward his mother. Douglass talks about how a slave is “shaped,” beginning at birth. He explains the ways by which slave owners alter social bonds and the natural processes of life in order to transform men into slaves. This process begins at birth. Slave traders first remove a child from his family, and Douglass shows how this destroys the child’s support and sense of a personal history.


In this quotation, Douglass uses adjectives like “soothing” and “tender” to re-create the childhood he would have known if his mother had been present. Douglass often recreates this assertion in his narrative in order to contrast normal stages of childhood development with the quality of development that he knew as a child.


His focus on the family structure and the awful moment of his mother’s death is typical of the conventions of nineteenth-century sentimental narratives. The destruction of family structure would have saddened readers and appeared to be a signal of the larger moral illnesses of the culture. Douglass, like many nineteenth-century authors, shows how social injustice can be expressed through the breakdown of a family structure. Douglass became deeply engaged with the abolitionist movement as both a writer and an orator.
