trait encoding for short plant structure to reduce transport of water
Explanation:
The Sahara Desert is a zone which receives very low or no precipitation. This region receives maximum of sunlight not received by any other biome. The soil is typically sand which is highly porous and lacks essential growth nutrients necessary for plant growth. The plants grown around Sahara Desert are xerophytic plants. These plants undergoes several adaptations in order to prevent loss of water through transpiration. Trait encoding for short plant structure to reduce transport of water is a xerophytic adaptation.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."
"Why weren't there any flowers?"
"Because the pigs had eaten them all," said the bachelor promptly. "The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn't have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers."
There was a murmur of approval at the excellence of the Prince's decision; so many people would have decided the other way.
How does the characterization of the children create satire?
Answer:
The characterization of the children create satire because:
B. They are pleased to learn that the prince chooses pigs over flowers.
Explanation:
A satire exposes the difference between our beliefs and reality. In the short story "The Story-Teller", by Saki, the satire comes from the situational irony presented in the bachelor's story. The bachelor is traveling in a train wagon with three children and their aunt. The aunt tells them a story with the purpose of teaching them a moral lesson. To her disappointment, the children find the story boring.
The bachelor begins to tell a story himself. Unlike the predictable story told by the aunt, his story is filled with surprises and ironic incidents. Instead of teaching kids that they should be good, he teaches them that being too good may be an awful thing. <u>The children's characterization in the excerpt creates satire because they are pleased to learn the prince in the story chose to have pigs instead of flowers. Their reaction contradicts what society would expect of them. It goes against what the aunt - a representative of society - thinks is appropriate. They are not pleased by what is right or good - they are pleased by what is entertaining.</u>
By acknowledging the scarcity of good men and by implying that they’d need to find another one.
Answer:
d. Each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information
Explanation:
When we take the title of the speech into consideration - "Our Privacy on the Internet Should Be More Protected" - the best option of a thesis statement seems to be letter d. A thesis statement consists of one or two sentences with the purpose of informing the reader about the author's opinion and the subject of what will be read, as well as guide the author so that they won't lose focus.
Letter a would be a good option if it didn't mention "genetic information". That topic takes a very specific detour away from the subject of privacy. They can be related, but that is not what we expect after reading the title.
Letter b is not a statement at all. The question asked has the intention of making the reader curious, but does not state the author's opinion.
Letter c is not a thesis statement due to its length. It already develops the argument, which should be done in the speech or essay's body.
That leaves us with letter d. It's a one-sentence statement in which we find the author's opinion and which gives us an idea of what will be developed in the speech or essay.
