Which reason can Sanjay use to most effectively refute
the counterclaim?

Answers

This question is incomplete because a section of the last option is missing. Here is the complete option: It is true that students often work and do household chores, but managing homework in addition to other responsibilities helps students learn to organize their time efficiently and prioritize their studies.

The correct answer is D. It is true that students often work and do household chores, but managing homework in addition to other responsibilities helps students learn to organize their time efficiently and prioritize their studies.

Explanation

When Allison saw the advertisement for a free basketball clinic at the community center, she knew she would attend. Tryouts for her school team were still a month away, and her jump shot needed work if she wanted to be selected this year.

She could hold her own in neighborhood games of three-on-three, but her outside shots rarely made it through the hoop. Allison hoped that the instruction at the clinic would address this weakness.

Dear (your friend)

How are you doing over there in Sweden? I hope everything is okay with you and your studies? I was very happy to get your letter dated 25th June 2014. I must tell you that the letter went a long way in filling the vacuum you left behind with your sudden departure to Europe to search for greener pasture. Atey I must also let you know that everyone is missing you dearly here in Nigeria.

Sometimes we your friends that is to say Osaze.Yemi and Kewe meet at the usual joint at Playball Viewing Centre at Maku Street where we used to watch English Premiership matches to talk about you fondly. We try to imagine the type of life you will be living over there with their kind of weather.I hear it is always cold down there being a Scandinavian country and that the citizens walk about wearing thick clothes, smoking and drinking whisky because of the harsh weather. What a life!

I must tell you that I appreciate your letter because it was informative and very timely I must say. I read the contents over and over again; taking my time to make sure nothing was left behind. I enjoyed the most the third paragraph where you narrated how you were recently embarrassed at an eatery for not knowing how to use folks and knives. I laughed so much at that story that my stomach almost burst. Well, it is a pity that you allowed that to happen to you because I remember that I encouraged you to do something about it before you travelled but you took my advice for granted. I believe that you have learnt your lesson now. I will advise you as a friend to go learn how to eat with cutlery now because you are no more in Nigeria where most of our food are finger food you know. It is not too late to learn how to eat with cutlery.

Now, in the letter you sent you want me to join you in Sweden and I must say that am very delighted to read that part I must confess. I use this opportunity to thank you for being very thoughtful and nice to me among all your numerous friends. But Atey am sorry to decline your offer of invitation and I want you to please try to understand and bear with me.1 know you will be itching to know why I declined your offer of invitation .The reasons are that my mother is sick and needs my attention urgently. As the first son I have to be around her all the time, am currently gainfully employed in the country after many years of searching for a job and lastly the security situation has improved because the president is doing his best to ensure that the citizens are well protected.

I wish you the best in Sweden and please don't forget to reply to my letter. Love you and take care.

Your best friend,

some residents of the suburbs of vredehoek and devil's peak were instructed to vacate their homes, schools in the area were shut and several streets were closed to traffic. in active voice​

Answers

Answer:

Some residents of the suburbs of vredehoek and devil's peak have moved out of their homes and closed schools and streets to traffic.

Explanation:

The active voice is present in sentences where the subject of the sentence is doing the action indicated by the verb and not suffering the action presented by the verb.

The subject of a sentence is the word the verb is referring to, the verb is the word that indicates an action or a state. In this case, we can see that in the sentence presented in the question above, the verb is the words "were instructed", "shut" and "closed". The subject of this sentence is "add residents". In this sentence, the subject is not doing the action of the verbs, but is suffering this action. Therefore, to pass the sentence to the active voice, we could present it as:

"Some residents of the suburbs of vredehoek and devil's peak have moved out of their homes and closed schools and streets to traffic."

In this passage, the author’s viewpoint is that the situation causes people to act in ways that are unfeeling and disrespectful toward those who have died. What evidence supports this viewpoint? Select two options.

“The living were glad. They would have more room.”
“Volunteers began the task.”
“They touched those who had remained on the ground.”
“Here’s one! Take him!”
“Then, two ‘gravediggers’ grabbed him by the head and feet and threw him from the wagon, like a sack of flour.”

Answers

Answer:

A). "The living were glad. They would have more room."

E). "Then, two 'gravediggers' grabbed him by the head and feet and threw him from the wagon, like a sack of flour."

Explanation:

As per the question, the first and last options i.e. 'option A and E' correctly backs the author's perspective. The descriptions like 'living were glad...would have more room' and '.two gravediggers...threw him...like a sack' substantiates the author's stand that the circumstances lead people to display unsympathetic and discourteous behavior towards the dead people. The portrayal of people being happy over people's death as they would now have more space and throwing away the dead bodies like material objects further justifies the author's claim and makes the readers believe it and evoke the desired response.
