Answers

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is a follows:

While watching television, Jason comes across an advertisement on a new soft drink brand. This advertisement  reminds him that he is thirsty and wants to buy a beverage. In the context of reinforcement theory, the advertisement

serves as a(n) _____.

a. orienting reflex

b. stimulus

c. heuristic

d. cognitive map

Answer:

In the context of reinforcement theory, the advertisement  serves as a(n) b. stimulus.

Explanation:

In reinforcement theory, a stimulus is any external event that leads to a change in behavior, a response. Stimuli can actually be used to condition certain desired behaviors in animals and people by being paired up in ways that lead to specific responses. In the case described in the passage, Jason was led to feel the urge to buy a beverage because of the ad. Jason's behavior was a response to the ad, which means the ad itself is a stimulus.

An overturned oil tanker is an example of nonpoint source pollution. Please select the best answer from the choices provideda. True
b. False

Answers

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

The term "nonpoint source pollution" is used when pollutions occurs from an undefined or diffuse source such as rainfall, drainage or smoke that pollute air or water but cannot be clearly identified or traced and because of this in most cases are difficult to regulate as there are multiple sources or the source cannot be identified. This type of pollution is opposite to point source pollution which is an identifiable source of pollution, usually because the pollution occurs at a single point. In the case of an overturned oil tanker, this type of pollution usually occurs at a single point and not for multiple sources, also this can be identified, traced and control which means this is an example of point source pollution rather than nonpoint source pollution and therefore, it is false an overturned oil tanker is an example of nonpoint source pollution.

Which statement about an opinion is false?An opinion is a personal view or attitude.
An opinion is often indicated by the use of adjectives.
An opinion is often used as evidence in a news article.
An opinion has the potential to promote bias.

Answers

Actually, I would argue that to some extend all of them are true:

An opinion is a personal view or attitude.
-this is definitely true, it's basically a definition of an opinion

An opinion is often indicated by the use of adjectives.
-this is true! for example "my teacher is nice"

An opinion is often used as evidence in a news article.
-this is the weakest statement (but I think that it's still not false). I would however choose this as the right answer: opinion is not an evidence for anything except this opinion ( so it's valid for example for the news of "the president thinks that" if the opinion is that of the president.

An opinion has the potential to promote bias.- this is true!
