The clearest example of cause and effect is: D) If flooding where to go unchecked, steel support beams in buildings would rust.

Although everything happens for a reasin, in this sentence we can clearly see the cause and the effect. The cause is "if flooding where to go unchecked" and the effect is "steel support beams in buildings would rust". The first action makes the second happen. Rememner that in a cause effect relationship, one event makes another happen.

In option A we can't see the cause, we only have some information about Manhattan's future.

Option B also skips the cause, we don't know why the water has to be bumped.

Option C only compares two kinds of bridges.

what is the appropriate balance between holding to your personal convictions while avoiding an undue level of judgmentalism

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The question above is a moral one.

In order to achieve a balance, we must become aware that the Author and Consitution that measures morality puts everyone on the same level.

That is, if one person lies, they are no different morally from one who steals.

This realisation that there is 'right' and 'wrong' and that there is one that administers over everyone to check the latter, helps with conviction and checks one from being too quick to be others to judgement.

It's key to note that the good book makes it clear that a servant rises or falls before his Master and that with the same measure that one person judges another, shall he or she be judged.

Man at the best will always be imperfect. There are three stages of imperfection:

Imperfect but getting worse
Imperfect but just in-between
Imperfect but getting better consistently

Cheers

Explanation:

A simple sentence is one that simply states a sentence with a single clause, a subject, and a verb.

Compound sentences have two or more clauses joined together by the conjunctions "for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so" (FANBOYS).

Complex sentences are almost similar to compound sentences except that they are joined not with the FANBOYS but subordinate conjunctions.

Compound-complex sentences are those sentences that are similar to complex sentences but added with another simple or compound sentence added to the sentence.

In the given sentences, sentence 1 is a simple sentence for it simply states a statement.

Sentence 2 and 3 are complex sentences as they are joined by the subordinating conjunctions "because" and "even though".

Sentence 4 is a compound sentence as it is joined by the coordinating conjunctions "but" and "so".

Sentence 5 is a compound-complex sentence as it has both subordinating conjunction "because" and coordinating conjunction "so".

Which TWO sentences in this excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" most closely reflects the central th

tresset_1 [31]

Remark

Let's begin with the theme. What is the theme of this passage, exactly? Four people -- five if you include Dr. Heidegger -- are sitting around a circle bemoaning the fact that they have lost something not granted to anyone. They have lost their second youth. They have swallowed some water which gave them their youth only for a fleeting moment (it seems to them), and they mourn the passage of time that grants them no more youth that they had been living in for some short period.

The four felt that way. Only Dr. Heidegger seemed to have learned something that told him that he should be careful what he wished for: he might actually get it.

We have two themes then. We have 4 who wished for their youth back and we have one who didn't want any part of it. I think we have to cover both.

The best detail for those wanting it is the old woman who apparently got her youth back and she was incredibly beautiful. Now her hands are skinny and likely wrinkled. She puts those hands to her face and wishes herself to be dead because she despises the fact that she is old (and likely all her friends are dead and she is condemned to a life of weariness. I speculate, but is certainly unhappy about the aging process). She mourns that it is over so quickly. They all do. That's sentence 3.

Only Dr. Heidegger seems to understand that they got something they should never have received in the first place. The yellow sentence beginning with "Well I bemoan it not, ... " reflects his point view as well as anything. That's sentence 5.
