Answer:

The best description of the weather in Moingona, Iowa before the train crash is Option C: There was very heavy rain, which caused Honey Creek to rise and flood.

Explanation:

This train accident occurred on the afternoon of July 6, 1881. There had been heavy thunderstorms that caused flash flooding and this washed out the timbers of the railway trestle that crossed Honey Creek. A locomotive was sent from Moingona to check track conditions. It fell into Honey Creek with a crew of four men on board.  

A young adolescent of about 16 years old Kate Shelley heard the crash and also thought of a passenger train that would be heading the same route.  She found two survivors and went to get help, traveling a long distance to sound the alarm and risking her own safety by crossing another bridge on her hands and knees.  She is considered a heroine and has a bridge named after her.

Analyze how imagery contributes to the meaning and style in this excerpt from Thoreau’s book, Walden. Cite evidence from the tex
SSSSS [86.1K]
Thoreau's Walden is about nature and its superiority to the civilized world. Hence his imagery implies the authenticity and vividness of nature, as opposed to the superficial and artificial edifice of humanity and civilization. Imagery appeals to human senses, and the reader gets a feeling that the described phenomenon can be touched, heard, seen, smelled - which conveys a colorful and profound view of nature, as something that is far from mere abstraction. Nature is, in fact, a genuine part of us that we can immerse in and enjoy with the whole of our being. For example, "the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore" is an auditory imagery - we can almost hear the thrush's song and its echoing. A visual imagery can be seen in "<span>shallow and darkened by clouds, the water, full of light and reflections" - there are nuances of colors and meanings in this passage, which imply the ever changing and ever evolving nature of the landscape, which seems to have a life of its own.</span>

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage.

Explanation:

In her “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage”, Carrie Chapman Catt uses the rhetorical device of kairos by constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage. This can be seen in the beginning of her speech when she mentions "Three distinct causes made it inevitable."

As kairos as a literary device means using balance and decorum in the speech/writing, Carrie makes sure that her speech contain step by step explanation for every objective. She then finally comes to the end of her speech by projecting the listeners and stakeholders of their part in the bringing a change.

Carrie uses the opportunity of kairos to direct her speech to the listeners and statesmen by asking them whether to support women's suffrage or not. This can be seen in the last lines of her speech "Woman suffrage is coming -- you know it. Will you, Honorable Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, help or hinder it?"

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

“Multicultural communication is the ability to communicate effectively with individuals of other cultures” (Tamparo 30). Developing multicultural therapeutic communication skills is very important in the modern era. Everyday we get more connected to each other; through videos and social media, we learn and understand other cultures. The most important factors are:

1. Empathy: By developing multicultural communication skills, we can show empathy to the person who is talking to us. As we know, empathy is the ability to understand and relate to the feeling of others. With it we get more connected with people.

2. Knowledge/Culture: By developing multicultural communication skills, we learn the different cultures that exists in the world. We learn how they work and affect each person. But most important we learn to respect and embrace it.

3. Approachable: In the workplace learning these skills makes a huge difference. Customer will feel more comfortable talking to you and this will create and atmosphere of comfortableness and respect between you and the other person. You will have the ability of being “likable” and everything will flow better.
