What is satire?

Satire makes something, or someone appear silly to humiliate, denigrate, or ridicule its targets.

Satire uses exaggeration, irony, humor, or ridicule to highlight the flaws in human nature and behavior. It has its own genre and is a literary device frequently used to comment on current affairs and politics.

Satire is a genre of writing that exposes the shortcomings, silliness, and vices of a subject or another work. Political, moral, or social commentary is how it is most frequently employed.

What is silliness?

A hilarious folly, a lack of good sense or judgment, or the state of being frivolous, trivial, or superficial are all examples of being silly.

Being foolish has another significant advantage besides increasing the enjoyment and humor of events. You become more at ease with who you are as a result. It can be stressful when youngsters see things as serious, official, or measured. Silliness helps alleviate this pressure.

Dear Principal Corte,I write to you with a concern that requires immediate attention. It is my belief that the lunch period at Mountain Vista High School is not long enough and should be lengthened.
The most important reason that our lunch period should be extended is so that all the students at Mountain Vista High School have a chance to eat. As it stands now, many students are unable to get through the lunch line and eat lunch. Even if the lunchroom staff are extremely efficient and able to get everyone through the line, some students end up with only a few minutes to eat their lunch. I have spoken with the school nurse about this issue, and she says that eating too quickly is a very unhealthy habit. Consequently, some students have become so frustrated with the long lines that they have resorted to getting their lunch from the vending machines, and everyone knows that a candy bar and a can of soda is the worst possible lunch a person can eat. The fact of the matter is that if the lunch period is extended, then all the students will make it through the lunch line and will be able to eat their lunch in a healthy way.
In addition, the lunch period should be extended because it would give students additional time to study or finish up homework. Those of us who take part in after-school activities or have jobs often don’t get home until late in the evening. Then, after we eat dinner, we are usually too exhausted to put our best effort into our homework. If we had more time at lunch, many of us would complete our homework properly.
I truly hope that you take my arguments under consideration, Principal Corte. Please see the attached petition with almost 2,000 signatures of students who share my opinions about extending the lunch period. Take this petition as a sign that there are many of us who are not completely happy with our experience at Mountain Vista High School. Mountain Vista High School is important to me, and I believe that students should get the best: extend our lunch period, and you will definitely get the best from us.
Sincerely,
Alexis Walters

Which step, if implemented, will most weaken the author’s case for extending the lunch break?

B. allowing students to decide on the cafeteria menu choices
C. giving additional homework to the students and encouraging them to participate in after-school activities
D. introducing a homework period after lunch to allow students to complete their unfinished homework

Answers

The students wish to complete their homework as well as eat during the lunch period; if a homework period is introduced then they will get time to only eat and this will lessen the need for a longer lunch break.

A cosmetics company decides to compare its new nail polish product, Bella, with three other nail polish brands: Primrose, Shine, and Glo. In an experiment, participants are divided into four groups. Each group of women is asked to wear nail polish from one of the four brands. The results for Primrose, Shine, and Glo are compared with those for Bella, and a conclusion is drawn. What does the type of nail polish represent in this case? A.) the control group B.) the explanatory variable C.) the response group D.) the response variable

Answers

Answer:

B.) the explanatory variable

Explanation:

When we are running market studies, we often use stadistics to measure the results of those market studies, the explanatory variable is what we call in stadistics the variable that you are measuring against your own, for example if you had to see if a medicine you are devolping helps people sleep longer than one that is already in the market, the explanatory variables are the medicines you are giving, in this case as we are comparing type of nail polish is the explanatory variable since it is that what you are comparing.

Answers


I would also have to say B is the correct answer. Your verb is was and it agrees with chance, which in this case is your noun because at success would be a prepositional phrase. Small is an adjective that describes chance.

Hopefully this helps and good luck!!  :)

B. The other sentences either have singular subjects with plural verbs (the sun... were shining;       don't a combination... make) or plural subjects with singular verbs (shoes... was).
