Answer:
The use of expert quotes, and a personal example followed by a research study gives context to the idea of mob mentality and helps readers understand how it happens.
Explanation:
This question refers to the 2014 text "When Good People Do Bad Things" by Ann Trafton. In this text, the author talks about a phenomenon known as "mob mentality." Mob mentality occurs when people lose sight of their individual morality and behave in the way that the group they belong to behaves, whether this matches their own morals or not.

I need help on making a paragraph on culture but talking about Tradition and Rituals or Food. Anything will help!!!!
Answer:
On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us are. Many of us associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress. When I was sick as a kid, I couldn’t eat rice because I was too weak, so my mother would cook soup and bring it to bed for me. The smell and taste of the soup became something very familiar to me. Now, whenever I feel tired or stressed, I remember the soup my mom used to make for me and I feel hungry for that soup.
On a larger scale, food is an important part of culture. Traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places.
Continuing to make food from their culture for family meals is a symbol of pride for their ethnicity and a means of coping with homesickness. Many open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. For example, some ingredients needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from the taste and flavor of the dishes that they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, when immigrants sell food in another country, they do not only sell it to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to alter the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers with distinct tastes and flavor preferences. Alterations to original dishes can create new flavors that still retain the cultural significance of the dish.

Read this excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy" by
Susan E. Quinlan.
What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?
O to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs
to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests
to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture
gulls
Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult
than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always,
Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a
tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing
pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might
put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile
eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest
and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the
fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited
for the retum of the bird in need of rebanding. When the
moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose
around the gulls legs.
O to emphasize the materials that Larry used
Answer:
to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture gulls
Explanation:
This is true due to the starting statement in the opening percepts about the gull and how difficult it happens to be to capture it. For Larry to be able to succeed, he has no other option than to improvise. He did this by "He rigged up a tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing
pole."

People who have Alzheimer's disease experience an increasing loss of brain function and cognition over time. Alzheimer's is characterized by a buildup of abnormal protein fragments that damage brain cells. Recently scientists have discovered an enzyme, BACE2, that decreases these abnormal protein fragments in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease. Which statement explains how BACE2 most likely works?
BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.
BACE2 is a reactant that combines with the abnormal protein fragments.
BACE2 breaks down into smaller pieces that react with the abnormal protein fragments, forming more complex molecules.
BACE2 molecules link several abnormal protein fragments together, forming a complete protein.
Answer:
BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.
Explanation:
BACE2 accelerates the reaction that breaks the fragments of abnormal proteins that cause Alzheimer's disease. With that, this enzyme is able to quickly cut these proteins, called beta-amyloid, into pieces so tiny that it takes the entire molecule to complete destruction. This is very innovative for the treatment of alzheimer's, although much research needs to be done to improve this process and not cause side effects.

Answer:
The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.
Explanation:
Faulty parallelism is an error in the structure of a sentence characterized by two parts of the sentence having different structures.
In spoken communication it can be easily heard, and although the intended meaning of the sentence can be understood, it usually confuses the listener and gives the impression of an uneducated speaker.
However, it can easily be corrected by rewriting sentence using only one structure for both parts. This particular sentence could be rewritten as:
1) The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.
or
2) The scientist received high marks because he was brilliant and because he was humorous.
Read the excerpt from " Crossing Brooklyn Ferry." Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt, Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd, Just as you are refresh'd by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh'd, Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried, Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the thick-stemm'd pipes of steamboats, I look'd. How is this excerpt representative of free verse?
Answer and Explanation:
"Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" is the poem by Walt Whitman that made him a pioneer of free verse. Free verse happens when a poem does not follow any rules for meter or rhyme schemes. Let's take a look at the excerpt provided:
Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt,
Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd,
Just as you are refresh’d by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh’d,
Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried,
Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the thick-stemm’d pipes of steamboats, I
look’d.
Each line has a different length, so to speak. It is clear that Whitman had no concern for the number of syllables and the rhythm to be the same in each line. When we look at the last word or sound of the lines, we notice the same lack of concern for them to be similar or equal. We can tell there is the repetition of the phoneme /t/ at the end of each last word, but that is not enough to characterize rhyming. This is why this excerpt is a representative of free verse.

Explanation:
The deliberate irony Orwell uses is called doublespeak, which is when words are used not to convey meaning – but to undermine it – corrupting the very ideas that they refer to. "War is Peace" is one of 1984's doublespeak slogans. WHAT ARE THE OTHER TWO DOUBLESPEAK SLOGANS? *
Answer:
Other doublespeak slogans are:
1. Freedom Is Slavery
2. Ignorance Is Strength
Explanation:
George Orwell, in his book, 1984 portrayed the use of doublespeak (doublethink). Doublespeak is a form of language which seeks to deliberately distort and reverse the meaning of words.
In his book, 1984, the Party used doublespeak (doublethink) as part of their campaigning which spreads propaganda and goes further to manipulate the public and even leadership. It is the ability of holding two beliefs that are contradictory and believed to be true.
So, in his book, the doublespeak examples that are seen are: War Is Peace, Freedom Is Slavery and Ignorance Is Strength.
Photosynthesis is the process through which plants produce sugar and oxygen. Photosynthesis can also take place in single-celled organisms like phytoplankton and other microorganisms.
The process of photosynthesis occurs differently from one organism to the next, but several features remain the same. In short, photosynthesis takes in water and carbon dioxide, uses sunlight as a catalyst, and produces oxygen and sugar. The plants release the oxygen through respiration. They digest or store the sugar.
Although the process seems simple, it is the most important event on the planet as far as animal life is concerned. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis. Animals would not be able to breathe if it was not for this process. Herbivores live off these fruits and vegetables and form the basis of any food chain. Carnivores and omnivores would not be able to find food if it were not for these sugars. Were it not for the simple process of photosynthesis, the Earth would be an uninhabited planet.
Animals would not be able to breathe if it was not for this process.
How does this sentence help to develop the idea that photosynthesis is essential to animal life?
A. It shows that animals depend on this process for oxygen.
B. It suggests that photosynthesis occurs in all animals.
C. It suggests that photosynthesis takes place in the lungs.
D. It shows that animals depend on this process for food.
The answer is A. It shows that animals depend on this process for oxygen.
Photosynthesis is how Carbon dioxide (what we breathe out) is turned into Oxygen (what we breathe in)
If Photosynthesis never took place Oxygen would run out and animals would suffocate.

How would a book written by an anthropologist about an indigenous group of people be different from an autobiography of one of the people's elders?
Explanation:
A book written by an anthropologist would be less connected to the lives and culture of the people and therefore would be more factual, while an autobiography would be written more personally and include some aspects of the culture in a more specifically connected way.
