Your school has been awarded a grant and plans to use the money to purchase smart devices for students. Write an essay in which you argue whether or not this technology purchase will improve students’ lives. Your essay must be based on ideas and information that can be found in the “Do Smart Devices Improve Student Lives?” passage set.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The School should buy the smart devices

Explanation:

While it is true that smart devices can be distracting for students, not only in school, but also at home, that is not a good enough reason to keep students from buying and using those devices.

Students should be taught in how to use them in a moderate manner, because the benefits from their use can be very positive for their education, and their general life. They should be warned about the dangers of technology addiction, and be encouraged to use the devices for education and research purposes.

If these actions are taken in a sound manner, the academic performance of the students should be better after the smart devices are purchased.

The invitation alone was nicer than anything she owned.
The author includes this sentence most likely to demonstrate that —
Diane lives above her means
Diane is a selfish and greedy person
Diane feels insecure about her social status
Diane wishes she could afford expensive invitations

Answers

Answer: Diane feels insecure about her social status

Explanation:

Diane thought that the invitation to the event was nicer than anything she owned at that point. This is very unlikely as it is just an invitation so the reason it seemed nicer to Diane than her possessions was because she was insecure about her social status such that anything from people she considered higher in status than her, looked better than whatever she could possibly have.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow

Most people looked at him with terror and with fear

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

He could preach the bible like a preacher

Full of ecstacy and fire

But he also was the kind of teacher

Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTIN

Lover of the Russian queen

There was a cat that really was gone

RA RA RASPUTIN

Russia's greatest love machine

It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar

But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar

In all affairs of state he was the man to please

But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze

For the queen he was no wheeler dealer

Though she'd heard the things he'd done

She believed he was a holy healer

Who would heal her son

RA RA RASPUTIN

Lover of the Russian queen

There was a cat that really was gone

RA RA RASPUTIN

Russia's greatest love machine

It was a shame how he carried on

[Spoken:]

But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger

For power became known to more and more people

The demands to do something about this outrageous

Man became louder and louder

"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies

But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"

No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms

Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms

Then one night some men of higher standing

Set a trap, they're not to blame

"Come to visit us" they kept demanding

And he really came

RA RA RASPUTIN

Lover of the Russian queen

They put some poison into his wine

RA RA RASPUTIN

Russia's greatest love machine

He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"

RA RA RASPUTIN

Lover of the Russian queen

They didn't quit, they wanted his head

RA RA RASPUTIN

Russia's greatest love machine

And so they shot him till he was dead

[Spoken:] Oh, those Russians...

(10 en total) 9.- ¿Cuáles son las contracciones usadas para simple present negativo? 10.- Escribe una oración de simple present afirmativo

Answers

Answer:

1- Las tres particulas que se utilizan en el verb to para expresar ser o estar son is para los sujetos he, she it; are para los sujetos we, you, they, you y am para el sujeto I.

2- Sujeto + verb to be+ not

3- Si, se puede.

4- She is tall.

5- Are you sad?

6- he, she, it + verb with s

We, you, they, you, I + verb without s

7- Do para we, you, they, you, I y Does para he, she, it. Al auxiliar se le suma el not.

8- Positivas: 's, 're y negativas: isn't y aren't.

9-Don't y doesn't.

10- She goes to school every day.

Explanation:

El verb to be significa ser o estar y según con el sujeto que lo combinemos va a cambiar. Para los sujetos he, she, it el verb to be es is y su forma abreviada es 's, para los sujetos we, you, they, you es are y su forma abreviada es 're mientras que para I es am y su forma abreviada es 'm.

Si quiero hacer la oración negativa voy agregar la palabra not a la contracción de esta.

He, she, it + is not/ isn't

We, you, they, you + are not/aren't

I + am not, en este caso no hay contracción.

El verb to be también puede ser utilizado en preguntas con wh, para eso primero se escribe la palabra con wh (what, who, where, when or how) luego el verb to be y por ultimo el resto de la oración. Por ejemplo where is the cat? o how old are you?.

En el presente simple se utiliza el auxiliar do para we, you, they, you, i y el auxiliar does para he, she, it. El verbo lleva una s al final cuando se lo usa en afirmativo y con he, she, it, en todos los demás casos el verbo no lleva s. Por ejemplo, She reads the newspaper every morning, they play football in the park every Saturday.

Para hacer una frase en negativo en presente simple hay que agregarle al auxiliar do o does el not o hacerlo de forma abreviada don't y doesn't y recordar que el verb en cualquiera de los dos casos es sin s. Por ejemplo She doesn't like pizza o They don't play.

HELP PLEASE:) The author of Nickel and Dimed, Barbara Ehrenreich, found that she could not survive on $7.00 per hour—not if she wanted to live indoors. Consider how her experiment would have played out in your community. Limiting yourself to $7.50 per hour (which is approximately the minimum wage today in most states), create a hypothetical monthly budget for your part of the country.

Answers

Answer: $7.50 x 10 (assuming I would work 10 hours a day, like Barbara Ehrenreich did) = $75 x 5 days/week = $375 x 4 weeks in a month = $1500

i would make $1500 a month, excluding tax that would be $1000. I would barely be able to pay for my rent and utilities with this money.

Answer:

Barbara Ehreneich's minimum wage of $7 may have been close to affordable and reaching monthly budgets. However, she would not survive a day in my community. Particularly in California 2020, along with food, gas, health & car insurance, and shelter. A hypothetical monthly budget in my part of the country would range from one grand to two grand. This is because California is one of the most expensive states in the country and with a job of $7.50 per hour, I would need to stay at a hotel for a few days before getting a second job. Then and only then would I be able to withhold a monthly budget.
