The answer is B.

 The sentence in option B most strongly shows how the narrrator in "Living to Tell the Tale' feels about siestas because it describes  his experience since he was a boy, and how <em>he despised those inert siestas</em> because he didn't know what to do while the sleepers murmured for him to be quiet. They wanted to sleep and he wanted to have something to do.

<em>siesta </em>: a rest or sleep taken after lunch, specially in hot countries.

<em>inert </em>: not moving or not able to move.

According to Freud, which part of the unconscious mind is responsible for giving food to needy people?(Id,Ego,Superego). Please
Archy [21]

According to Freud, the superego is the part of the unconscious mind that is responsible for giving food to the needy people.

Explanation:

According to the theory of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, there are three parts of the human psyche:  

  • The id. The id is the impulsive unconscious part of our psyche, which is the source of our basic urges, needs, impulses, and desires. The id is the only part of the personality that a newborn child has, while the ego and superego develop later on. The id remains infantile during our entire lives and is not affected by logic or the world surrounding us.
  • The ego. The purpose of the ego is to create a balance between the id and the real world. It is the decision-making part of our mind. It seeks to satisfy id's needs in a realistic way we can benefit from. We can refer to the ego as our reason and common sense.
  • The superego. The superego is a moral component of our psyche, the function of which is to control the id's impulses, especially those which society forbids. It controls our sense of right and wrong and can be considered to be a type of conscience that punishes misbehavior with the feeling of guilt.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the superego is the part of the unconscious mind that is responsible for giving food to the needy. Giving food to the needy people is morally right, something that can be expected from us and praised by society.

lorasvet [3.4K]

The section of the "volcanoes" page of the Ready.gov website that cautions people to be aware of mudflows is During .The correct answer is D.

On the third point of do's they say and I quote "Avoid areas downwind, and river valleys downstream, of the volcano. Rubble and ash will be carried by wind and gravity.", this can be represented by mudflows.

There are no other parts in the page that talk about that so the other options cannot be correct since they are talking about incorrect segments of information.

Elden [556K]

Stowe uses this dialogue between George and Haley to illustrate that slavery is unethical in every circumstance by showing that there are two parts involved who are equally as guilty for the problem.

George criticizes Haley for selling men and women but at the same time buys slaves himself. George knows that slavery is wrong and does not approve of it. However, he still participates and helps the system to keep standing by buying people to work for him.

With this, the author seeks to convey the idea that it is not only selling slaves that is unethical, but also buying them.

What is one reason Postman believes television is a myth in current culture?
wariber [46]

Answer:

B. Because viewers do not doubt the reality of what they see on TV  

Explanation:

Postman then cites French literary theorist Roland Barthes, arguing that “television has achieved the status of ‘myth’”. What does “myth” mean to Barthes? As Postman explains: “a myth is a way of thinking so deeply embedded in our consciousness that it is invisible”. Here we might pause and review our discussion on semiotics, recalling Levi-Strauss as well as de Saussure.

Myth is language. Images are a type of language. Consequently, when we see a representation of Rosie the Riveter, what comes to mind are a number of ideas, including everything from American determination as reflected by its citizens during World War II to the ideals and concepts espoused by feminist theory. If, as Postman states, television is myth, then what he is arguing for is the idea that television by its very nature and by what it is capable of conveys a complex series of ideas that is already deeply embedded within our subconscious. Or, as Postman more succinctly puts it: We rarely talk about television, only about what is on television—that is, about its content”.
