Answer:

What the speaker means in these lines is that reading goes beyond knowing how to read .

Explanation:

In the Poem <em>Blind </em>by Fatima Naoot, what the author means in these lines is that the important thing in a reading is not the fact of knowing how to read, but of knowing how to interpret.

And that it doesn't matter if she is blind, she has to see beyond the retina to be able to get out of "earthlylife", that is, to go beyond.

Even in a few lines later the author says <em>"Reading does not require eyes"</em> and refers precisely to those previous lines, <u>because to read correctly you have to know how to make an interpretation, not just pronounce the words that are written in a text. </u>

Plagiarism quiz
GaryK [48]
Something is plagiarism if one takes material from another source and uses it without pointing toward that source, thus making it appear that it is originally written.

1. No, this is not plagiarism since she herself is the original writer, thus she is not stealing content from anybody else.<span>

2. According to Casey Berry of Sciences Ltd., "Only 6% of students wash their hands after class." This first choice is not plagiarism, since the student has cited the researcher Casey Berry, and has enclosed the directly copied statement in quotation marks. In contrast, the second choice mentions "a recent study" without any direct mention of who did the study, and it copies the conclusion verbatim without using quotation marks.

3. This is not plagiarism, since she places a hyperlink to the source, thus acknowledging that what she has written is not her own original material. However, this is considered bad practice, to simply link to a source without describing what it has done or which parts specifically you have taken from it. You would not probably be sued in court for plagiarism, but it is still advisable to describe what the source has done.

4. No, this is not plagiarism. He has used quotation marks for direct quotes. The paraphrased information does not need quotation marks. Hyperlinks and attributions have been provided for each, so there are no issues with this kind of writing.

5. Yes, this is plagiarism. The BlogMutt writer got information from another post (which may or may not have been original material, we do not know), and did not attribute that post. Furthermore, this write-up is for a customer, not merely for discussion in forums, so pretending that the information on the post is his own is not only plagiarism, but it is also business dishonesty as he is stealing someone's work and selling it to a customer as his own.</span>

Which statement most accurately paraphrases lines 71-72 of "The Wanderer'?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The statement that most accurately paraphrases the lines is:

A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?

Explanation:

When we paraphrase, we reword the ideas expressed by someone. We do not change the ideas, nor do we summarize. We say the exact same thing, but with different words. Let's take a look at what is being said here:

<em>What knowing man knows not the ghostly, </em>

<em>Waste-like end of worldly wealth</em>

The lines above are questioning something. They are asking, maybe in rhetorical way, what intelligent man does not know about how material wealth disappears in the end. The adjective "knowing" is the same as "knowledgeable" or "intelligent". And "waste-like end" means the wealth does not really value much. It disappears ("ghostly", like everything else.

With that in mind, we can easily see that letter A is the one conveying all those ideas:

A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

She felt dizzy for in her own words, "the room was spinning a little".

Explanation:

"Summer of the Mariposas" is the story of five girls who discovered the body of a man whom they believed came from Mexico, floating in the body of water where they swam. The girls who were cared for by their mother and abandoned by their father decided that instead of going to the police, they would rather take the body back to Mexico and also visit their grandmom there. During their adventure, Odilia who was one of the sisters encountered La Llorana, a ghost who was believed to have taken her children's lives in the river. Initially, she was scared but the woman calmed her fears by telling the girls that the popular story about her was untrue. She gave Odilia an earring to protect her and her sisters five times in the course of their journey.

Later, when the sisters were taken to the home of a woman named Cecilia who was poisoning them, La Llorona gave Odilia Sprigs of Jojotle to help her recover. The Jojotle had a dizzy effect for Odilia commented that she had to go 'sit down on the bed because the room was spinning a little'.
