Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: D.It explores the possible consequences of present human behaviour.

One of the most important purposes of science fiction is to imagine what our future will look like if we maintain our present behaviour. This is important, as it encourages a deep reflection in society, and can often motivate us to change our ways. Some works that successfully achieve this goal are 1984, Harrison Bergeron and Brave New World.

Which of the following statements about vocabulary building is not correct?A. Reading on a daily basis is very important for building your vocabulary.
B. Pronunciation is an important part of adding new words to your vocabulary.
C. Using the dictionary is only one step in the process of vocabulary building.
D. The best way to improve your vocabulary is to memorize lists of vocabulary words.

Answers

I'm actually not sure about the answer here. I am certain that A and C are correct answers, as reading is definitely important for word building, as well as using a dictionary is. But B and D are dubious. Because, when you don't know how a certain word is pronounced, you will usually look it up in the dictionary, you will see the way it is pronounced, but also what it means, so that way you can build your vocabulary. And again, if you memorize lists of words, it is a way of building your vocabulary. So the incorrect sentence is either B or D.

The craftsmen in the play speak in prose because A. Theseus would have forbidden them to use verse.
B. too much blank verse gets tiresome.
C. that kind of common language symbolizes their status in life.
D. it's the language of love.

Answers

The craftsmen in the play speak in prose because: that kind of common language symbolizes their status in life. Option C is correct.

I think that any craftsman would speak very posh and in a high register  language of poetry, hence they speak in prose, which is not that classy.

Prose is a form of language that conveys a natural flow of speech and grammatical structure instead of a regular rhythmic structure as in traditional poetry.

C. that kind of common language symbolizes their status in life. 

Excerpt from Clashing Opinions at Controversial Commissioners Meeting Kyle Ellington SUSSEX COUNTY, SC — Tension oozed from the courthouse last night as debate raged during the bimonthly Sussex County commissioner’s meeting, which centered on the most hotly debated topic in the area: a proposed strip mall. The development company, the county commissioners, and hundreds of concerned citizens gathered to deliberate on the issue. While the meeting was intended to cover a plethora of topics, the proposed construction dominated the discussion. For four hours, attendees debated, discussed, and dissented from one another.Which research source would provide the MOST bias-free information to support the building of the strip mall?
A) a study of local economics by an objective research company
B) a press release about environmental impact of development from the Sierra Club
C) a flyer from a new development company that has the contract to do part of the work
D) a newsletter from the Green Briar Country Club about the effect of the new mall on their golf course

Answers

A) a study of local economics by an objective research company

It's important that whatever information is presented, that it is objected and unbiased. A third party research company that has no stake in the building would be the most unbiased company to do the research. Also, having an economic study would present the information in the most educational way.  

Answer:

A) a study of local economics by an objective research company
