On Being a Writer

Want to be an effective writer? If you do, keep in mind that good writers are extremely careful to make every word count. Choosing their words with care, they try to be as _____1____ as possible, never using two words when one will do. They are more likely, for example, to say “now” instead of “at the present time” and “before” rather than “back in the past.”

Skillful writers are also careful about how they handle _____2_____. If they use words like power, bravery, and dedication, they make sure to nail down those words with_____3_____ illustrations. They know that general ideas not anchored in specific details can prove confusing and lead to a communication breakdown between author and reader.

General statements not followed by specific explanations can also make readers suspicious. A writer who claims “our government has lost touch with the people” without offering specific illustrations of or reasons for that claim is likely to be considered overly _____4_____ and perhaps untrustworthy.

In addition to directness and clarity, good writers also pay attention to _____5_____, making sure they don't lull the reader to sleep by using only sentences that begin with subject and verb. They are also attentive to imagery. They try to use original _____6_____ that help readers "see" the intended meaning more clearly. The emphasis here is on the word original: Writers who care about their work also avoid _____7_____. They know they arouse the readers' mistrust if they use tired expressions like "avid reader," "dark and stormy night," and "full of sound and fury."

Writers who care about writing never plagiarize. Even if they offer only a _____8_____ of someone's idea rather than quoting them _____9_____, writers with experience acknowledge their sources. They know that writing is hard and refuse to take credit for words or ideas that are not their own.

Lastly, writers match their tone to their audience and purpose. If they are writing an encyclopedia entry, they are careful to remain somewhat formal and distant from the reader. But if they are writing a movie review for their neighborhood paper, they will readily switch to a more _____10_____ and friendlier tone.

2. Part A: What does the word "haunt" most closely mean in paragraph 20?

A: a place where a specific group of people used to stay

B : a large amount of weapons

C: a section of the desert that is difficult to find

D: a frichtening area filled with ghosts




Part B: Which of the following phrases from paragraph 20 best support the answe to Part A






But in the way of all wars, the fight against terrorism spawned unintended consequences. For one thing al-Qaeda and other extremist Islamist groups proved to have deep roots. Crushed in their original haunts in the Middle East and unable to repeat their attacks on the US, many terrorists have moved their operations to Western Europe where they attacked British, French German and Spanish civilians

Answers

Answer:

Part A: a place where a specific group of people used to stay

Part B: “proved to have deep roots”

Explanation:

As can be seen in the paragraph shown in the question above, the word "haunt" was used in the sense of "to group," referring to a place where a specific group of people usually stays. This expression was used in the article to show how difficult it is to end terrist organizations when they are trapped, joined, haunted in the Middle East, where they established deep and difficult roots to be destroyed.

In this case, we can say that the detail of the paragraph that supports the word "haunt" is the detail that shows that terrorist organizations "proved to have deep roots" in their homeland.

1.) Here is a quote to start you off: "You take a bad boy, make him dig holes all day in the hot sun, it turns him into a good boy. That's our philosophy here at camp green lake," said Mr. Sir

The Warden says that digging holes will give them self confidence and will make them sorry about their faults. Holes are pretty negative in the book. they represent hardship, adversity and grueling physical labor. But it's not always negative, i mean, Stanley and Zero found treasure in a hole!

Write a paragraph that explains how the story communicates the theme that is human nature to make mistakes( please help me quick on a test)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The story is about Pandora and the box she was given containing diseases and cares. Pandora was only human. Even though she was told to never open the box, it is in her nature to grow more and more curious about something that is forbidden. Notice how the story progresses from her staring and touching the box, just guessing what might be inside, to her opening it just a little. There was no way for her to know this would cause diseases and care to spread all over the world. Pandora is not a villain - nor does the story portray her as such. She is just a curious human who made the mistake of giving in to her curiosity. There is no blame to attribute here. This mistake, like any other, is natural of humankind, and could have been made by anyone.

about the importance of a free press within a democracy?

Answers

Answer:

According to Krimsky's conclusion, the free press in a democracy is important when it is committed to truth and information.

Explanation:

After reading Krimsky's article "The Role Of The Media In A Democracy", we can ask that the freedom of the press is a powerful weapon within a democracy, because it is what brings information to the public and lets people understand what is happening in the country and thus draw their conclusions about what should be combated and stimulated within the national territory. However, it is important that, in addition to being free, the press is committed to the truth, non-partisan, non-defaming and impartial, with the responsibility only to disclose the facts and not to influence conclusions and opinions.

Which of the following is the best way to paraphrase this paragraph?

For the past 30 years, researchers have been experimenting with hooking a human brain up to a computer. They call it a brain-computer interface (or BCI), and they have been making progress over the past 10 years. In 1999, doctors were able to place a BCI in the brain of a man who had suffered a stroke. The BCI interpreted his "thoughts" so that he could use a mouse to move a cursor around on a computer screen to type out his words. This device allowed the man to "speak" with his family and friends even after the stroke had damaged most of his brain function. In 2004, doctors placed a BCI in the brain of a paralyzed man, allowing him to use a mouse to move a cursor. He could also type on a keyboard and play video games. He could even operate a robotic arm. This leap in technology will allow future scientists combine their knowledge of the human body with technology.


A.
Scientists and doctors have been researching brain-computer interfaces for the past 10 years and experimented with them.
B.
In 10 years, everyone will have a brain-computer interface because researchers are making a lot of progress.
C.
Brain-computer interfaces work when they are connected to the brains of disabled people to allow the people to communicate.
D.
Researchers have had success in connecting a human brain with a computer using a brain-computer interface.

Answers

Answer:

What is paraphrasing?

It means to write a given text in your own words and represent the ideas and information given according to your understanding of the text. The paraphrased text should contain the main point of the text and should be precise and clear.

Which is the best-paraphrased sentence?

The best sentence should contain the main point and should be according to one's understanding of the text. Since the text gives an example of the researchers having accomplished the brain-computer interface successfully, therefore, the best-paraphrased sentence is "Researchers have had success in connecting a human brain with a computer using a brain-computer interface."

The reason is because in 1st person point of view we can see the psychotic nature in which Montresor describes all he did to Fortunato. He explains in crude detail how he killed him with no remorse, he even seems to delight in the acts which he did. For example: when he describes the walls filled with a type of moss, he's already putting inside Fortunato's head that he will have to live and cope with these toxic fumes that will poison his lungs little by little, Fortunato doesn't know it yet, but, he is going to die. And, putting this images in the head is preparing Fortunato for the worse to come, he's preparing Fortunato so he loses all hope. Montresor describes everything like a sociopath would, if it were in third person point of view we wouldn't know what Montresor was personally thinking or feeling only partially.
