Answer:
The persuasive writing style.
Explanation:
Which writing style problem is most apparent (obvious) in Statement 1?
- Take a look at Statement 1:
"Please come to the meeting with some out-of-the-box ideas that really push the envelope"
- Recall the types of writing style:
1. Expository 2. Descriptive 3. Persuasive 4. Narrative
ANSWER:
The whole question is a note (probably from the head of sales team) to members of the sales team in an organization. The writer is exposing them to the purpose of the meeting or topics of discussion for the meeting (expository writing).
The writer is also persuading the team members to brainstorm before coming for the meeting; so as to make important contributions.
In Statement 1, the persuasion of the writer seems more like coercion. The writer is persuasive but stern about the level or quality of ideas he wants to get at the meeting.
The writing style problem that is most apparent in Statement 1 hence, is the persuasive writing style.
Answer:
The idea of controlling humans through biological engineering is an example of
B) dystopian
context with an extreme form of state control. Such a context fits in the genre of science fiction because
B) depends on technology to create the world.
Explanation:
Dystopian literature came as a response to utopian fiction. While a utopia concerns the perfect world, dystopian settings present lack of humanity, excessive control and violence, often justified by the government as being the means to achieve the greater good. That is the type of reality presented in "Brave New World". Human beings are no longer free to choose. They are no longer free to even be born. They are created in labs, where their function in life is already predetermined. Some are created to be highly intelligent while others are meant to be slow in order to perform menial jobs.
This is a perfect fit for the science-fiction genre. This type of genre relies heavily in the possible destructive influence of technology over our lives. The story is often set in the future, when a much more advanced society depends completely on technology to function and survive. In "Brave New World", control comes through technology. It is the means to create as well as destroy life.
D, because you can remove the part in parentheses and still have a gramatically correct and coherent sentence.
The answer is entomology (choice B). Root words tell you the simplest word to find the meaning of, affixes are the additions to the root word that have a few typical meanings that allow you to adjust your definition. Etymology is about the origin of words, whether it is related to a place, or a person, or in a foreign language. However, entomology is the study of insects and does not help one understand word meanings.
