Answer:

D. effective, because it includes facts from a credible source.

Explanation:

The author uses facts from the CDC. The CDC is considered a credible source because it is a government organization that bases it's decisions on scientific research. Option C is incorrect because we don't know if it is addressing a counterclaim. there isn't enough information in this excerpt for us to know.

Murrr4er [49]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read A Dead Woman's Secret

By Guy de Maupassant

1880

How do the siblings' reactions to their mother's  letters contribute to the theme of the text?

The siblings are shocked, contributing to the theme that  people are not always as they seem.

The siblings are angered after learning about their real  father, contributing to the theme that it is best to be  honest with others.

The brother condemns their mother but the sister  sympathizes with her, contributing to the theme of  forgiving loved ones.

The siblings are shocked but still watch over their  mother, contributing to the theme that it is best to be  loyal to family.

Answer: The siblings are shocked, contributing to the theme that  people are not always as they seem.

Explanation:

Through the letter, the siblings find out that their assumed virtuous mother had at least one love affair. After being raised by the now-deceased woman, who inculcated them a strict code of morality and religiosity to such extent that Marguerite had become a nun and the son a flawless magistrate, this discovery makes them furious, and they angrily leave her.

. A(n) _____________ narrator is one who perceives and/or presents the events of a story in a way that is either skewed or disco
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Unreliable

Explanation:

An unreliable narrator is the narrator of a story whose point of view is compromised, and thus the way the individual describes events unfolding in the story, cannot be trusted as an honest account of what is actually happening. It is a form of first-person narrative style. The unreliability of the narrator can be attributed to their age, their mental instability, or the fact that the narrator might be the culprit of a crime. One of the main hallmarks of the unreliable narrator is a plot twist occurring by the end of the story.

Examples of stories that use this type of narration are The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Lolita, Life of Pi, and many of Edgar Allen Poe's and Agatha Christie's stories.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

The key in Risk Management is to make a well-informed decision to have the greatest possibility of avoiding damages or to be able to control them if they happen.  

In the example, even if a wire fence has been installed to keep wild marine life outside of the swimming area, the best to do is to confirm if the suitable authorities have approved that fence so we are sure, first of all that swimming is really safe and, that in front of an undesirable event, we will have someone to whom raise a claim against.
