Read the claim below.
The government should not use taxpayers' money to fund the arts.
Select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim.
The largest government arts program costs the average taxpayer only about
forty-five cents per year.
Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars
each year to support the arts.
The Federal Art Project was a government-funded program that employed
thousands of artists during the Great Depression.
Answer:
Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts.
Explanation:
The piece of evidence that best supports this claim is "Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts".
Actually, who are the taxpayers? They are private citizens, corporations and foundations. That means if the government is using taxpayers' money to fund arts, indirectly it means that the billions of dollars spent each year to support arts are the monies of the private citizens, corporations and foundations. This then means that these private citizens, foundations and corporations are actually the ones supporting the arts through the taxes they pay.
Answer:
Answer:
Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts.

The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America. Edward Corsi, [ . . .] was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907: "My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams."
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read Edward Corsi's quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America. Edward Corsi, [ . . .] was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907: "My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams."
How does this quotation add credibility to Freedman's line that the voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it?
Answer:
The quote comes from someone who, in addition to being an immigrant, was an immigration commissioner, which shows that Corsi knew what he was talking about, which is why his words add credibility to the article.
Explanation:
A reliable source is one that has been produced by an expert who knows the subject very well. In the case of the text shown above, the quote by Edward Corsi is very relevant and adds credibility to the text. That's because Corsi, in addition to being an immigrant, is an immigration commissioner, which gives him vast knowledge of the trials that immigrants had to endure during their tragedies. That makes Corsi an expert.
Answer:
The quote comes from someone who, in addition to being an immigrant, was an immigration commissioner, which shows that Corsi knew what he was talking about, which is why his words add credibility to the article.

New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities
In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.
Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.
The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.
As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.
In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.
The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.

To evaluate a piece of media means to
express the main idea in a clear and specific way.
disseminate the contents to a wide audience.
judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way.
communicate the information to a group of people.
Answer:
judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way.
Explanation:
express the main idea in a clear and specific way – this is not the right answer. Evaluation is more complex and analytical than just the main idea.
disseminate the contents to a wide audience – this is not the right answer. Evaluation of the message doesn’t concern spreading it.
judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way – this is the correct answer. Media is used to convey a certain message through some of the tools (radio, TV, internet, etc.) Therefore, its evaluation concerns seeing the message and analyzing it, giving the judge of it at the end. This includes possible critics or praise for the message, ways of conversion, tools, etc.
communicate the information to a group of people – this is an incorrect answer. Evaluation, as said before, does not concern the spreading of the information.

Explain how the choice of a narrator affects the plot of a text using the above excerpt as an example.
Answer:
it doesn't because if either way the if it is the same story then the plot will always stay tthe same
Explanation:
Answer:
The choice of narrator, especially a first-person narrator, affects the plot because a first-person narrator's knowledge is limited to what that person is present to see and hear. We can't know what anyone else is thinking and much action is left out because the narrator may not have seen or heard it. That information must be conveyed through dialogue with other characters. In this excerpt, using a different point of view or choosing a different first-person narrator would change the information we receive. For example, Sam or Patrick would probably not feel like being in their own house was like being "someplace better," and the impression we are given of the parents would also be affected.

Think about the ideas of the pre-Socratic philosophers. Do you agree with any of their ideas? Why or why not?
Answer:
Presocratic philosophers are the Western thinkers preceding Socrates (c. 469-c. 399 B.C.E.) but including some thinkers who were roughly contemporary with Socrates, such as Protagoras (c. 490-c. 420 B.C.E.). The application of the term “philosophy” to the Presocratics is somewhat anachronistic, but is certainly different from how many people currently think of philosophy. The Presocratics were interested in a wide variety of topics, especially in what we now think of as natural science rather than philosophy. These early thinkers often sought naturalistic explanations and causes for physical phenomena. For example, the earliest group of Presocratics, the Milesians, each proposed some material element ¾ water, air, the “boundless,” as the basic stuff either forming the foundation of, or constituting, everything in the cosmos.
Such an emphasis on physical explanations marked a break with more traditional ways of thinking that indicated the gods as primary causes. The Presocratics, in most cases, did not entirely abandon theistic or religious notions, but they characteristically posed challenges to traditional ways of thinking. Xenophanes of Colophon, for example, thought that most concepts of the gods were superficial, since they often amount to mere anthropomorphizing. Heraclitus understood sets of contraries, such as day-night, winter-summer, and war-peace to be gods (or God), while Protagoras claimed not to be able to know whether or not the gods exist. The foundation of Presocratic thought is the preference and esteem given to rational thought and argumentation over mythologizing. This movement towards rationality and argumentation would pave the way for the course Western thought.

In "The Voyage of the James Caird," why does the author include this sentence about an
unrelated casualty at sea?
They would later learn that a 500-ton steamer had foundered with all hands in the same
hurricane they had just weathered. *
to help readers understand how remarkable the success of the voyage was 1
to explain what had happened to the ship the James Caird had left behind
to demonstrate that the size of a boat is unimportant in a storm
to add drama and suspense to her work of narrative nonfiction
Answer:
to help readers understand how remarkable the success of the voyage was 1
Explanation:
This is true because, it would help the reader to learn that, the same hurricane which they are complaining about, another steam boat weighing 500-ton just passed through the same hurricane successfully. That it weathered the hurricane, shows that, it was not affected by the hurricane.
Compare both passages below. What is the purpose of each passage? How does each passage use supporting details to support its specific purpose?
Passage 1:
Your next tablet should be the upcoming G2 tablet, which is hitting stores this Thursday. Tired of the slow, glitchy performance of your old, tired tablet? Sick of having to install update after update, patch after patch, only to deal with the same subpar performance? Frustrated with the lack of exciting, useful apps for your tablet? Treat yourself to the new G2 tablet, on sale Thursday at all A-Mart locations near you!
Passage 2:
The new G2 tablet is seven inches tall, five inches wide, and a half-inch thick. It uses the Roboto operating system, which will allow many popular apps and programs to run on the machine. Most people bring their G2 tablets on the train or bus and take advantage of the included Wi-Fi card. This convenient, portable, and useful device will help users run their lives while running their errands. The G2 tablet is available for purchase at A-Mart starting this Thursday.
Answer:
Passage 1 and passage 2 are similar because both passages are promoting the new G2 tablet, They're different because passage 1 talks about the cons of your old tablet while passage 2 only talks about the pros of the G2 tablet. The purpose of both passages are to promote/endorse the G2 tablet. Passage 1 uses supporting details by saying "tired of the slow, glitchy performance of your old, tired tablet? " and backs it up by using examples of the cons of your old tablet as supporting details. Passage 2 uses supporting details by saying ''This convenient, portable, and useful device will help users run their lives while running their errands." and backs that statement up by telling the reader the pros of the tablet using that as supporting details.

Next to the statues and the head, the slab seems unimpressive at first glance. It is roughly the size of a tabletop-three feet nine inches long, two feet four and a half inches wide, and eleven inches thick. But many experts would say that this rather small piece of rock was more valuable than any of the larger objects in the room. For it is the famed Rosetta Stone, which gave nineteenth-century scholars their first key to the secrets of ancient Egypt.
