Answer: D. By drawing a parallel between the rise of the "Extrovert Ideal" to the life of Dale Carnegie.
Explanation:
In "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking" (2012), Susan Cain illustrates the rise of the "Extrovert Ideal" by comparing it to the life of Dale Carnegie, as described in his How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936).
According to Cain, Carnegie´s change from a farm boy to a sales man and then to a public speaking icon, is a good example of the move from a Culture of Character, prevalent until the 1920s, to a Culture of Personality, which is externally focussed as it gives more importance to appearances than to actions.

Science is often defined inadequately as “an organized body of knowledge.” This would make cookbooks, Sears, Roebuck catalogues, and telephone books science, which they are not. Sometimes science is defined simply as rationality, but that would make much of theology and metaphysics science, which they are not. Rationality is logical consistency, lack of contradiction. It is to be distinguished from reasonableness, the quality of a mind open to arguments and evidence opposed to its beliefs: a willingness to reconsider. Rationalists can be quite unreasonable or dogmatic. Rationalist metaphysicians and theologians are often certain about premises which come from intuition or revelation. Even paranoiacs may be thought of as rationalists, for they are commonly most rigorous in reasoning. But their premises, which they cling to in spite of all evidence, are absurd.
WHAT SCIENCE IS
Science is empirical, rational, general, and cumulative; and it is all four at once. Science is empirical in that all its conclusions are subject to test by sense experience. Observation is the base on which science rests, but scientific observation is more than keeping one’s eyes open. It is observation made by qualified observers under controlled conditions of those things which confirm or disconfirm, verify or refute a theory. Sherlock Holmes* could tell by the stains on a vest what a man had eaten for breakfast. From a number of such observations he arrived at a theory about why and how a particular crime was committed. This procedure is excellent for detection but insufficient for science, because it yields only knowledge of particular events. Science would go on to ask why and how crime, not a particular crime, is committed. Science uses facts to test general theories and general theories to make predictions about particular facts.
Scientific observations may be made of things as they exist, like the color of an apple or the temperature of the air, or it may be made of what results from an experiment. An experiment is the deliberate manipulation of conditions in order to bring about what we want to observe. If we want to test the hypothesis that a new plastic can withstand two hundred pounds of pressure without crumbling, we may have to create a situation in which such pressure is applied to a piece of the plastic, because it is unlikely that the situation already exists anywhere in the world, or if it does, that all other factors are kept constant. In some sciences, like astronomy, we do not sufficiently control the subject matter to experiment on it—although we do control the conditions of observation—and we distinguish those sciences from others, like chemistry, in which experiment is possible, by calling the latter “experimental sciences.”
Although all scientific thought ultimately rests on observation, there are vast portions of it which are entirely rational: analysis of the meaning of terms, deductions from existent theories, explorations of the logical relations among concepts and among theories. Logic is applied to science constantly because logic contains the rules of valid thinking. The application of mathematics is often thought, erroneously, to be an index of the status of any science. Of course, the more it can be applied usefully within a science, the more advanced the science. For mathematics functions both as a language in which scientific laws are stated, giving them the utmost precision, elegance, and economy, and as the basis of measurement. Many of the most significant advances in physics, astronomy, and chemistry have depended on advances in and application of mathematics. Without calculus the work of Isaac Newton would have been impossible. Yet great scientific work in other fields, performed by men like Pasteur, Darwin, and Pavlov (with whose names pasteurization, evolution, and conditioned response in psychology are associated), has used little or no mathematics.
In the final sentence of the first paragraph, the authors choose to use the word “absurd” in order to
A- demonstrate that even sound premises can lead to irrational conclusions
B- argue that evidence that seems illogical should not be considered by scientists
C-emphasize a previous distinction between rationality and reasonableness
D- imply that too much rigor can lead to nonsensical inferences
E- convey disdain for those who display uncertainty about their premises
Answer:
I think the answer is D-imply that too much rigor can lead to nonsensical inferences

Which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?
Joy leapt in his father's heart for his son who was quick to learn, thirsty for knowledge;
he saw him growing up to become a great wise man and priest, a prince among the
Brahmans. Bliss leapt in his mother's breast when she saw him, ... Siddhartha, strong,
handsome, he who was walking on slender legs, greeting her with perfect respect...
But he, Siddhartha, was not a source of joy for himself; he found no delight in himself.
Answer:
Third person omniscient point of narration.
Explanation:
The narrative point of view refers to the voice of the narration used, the 'eye' of the narrator through which the readers are seeing the story unfold. This voice is the window through which the outside world, the readers, gain access to the characters and the plot of the story, and be a part of it.
The easiest way to know or identify the narrative voice is to observe the use of the pronouns. Here, the narrator uses "he", "she", "him", "his", "her" a lot. Moreover, the narrator seems to be detached from the whole scene, suggesting he's not part of the story. Also, the ability to see through the feelings and emotions of all of the characters involved makes the narrator an omniscient voice.
Thus, the narrative voice is third-person omniscient. This is when the narrator is not a character in the story and is privy to the feelings and emotions of all the characters.

1 You should open the wine about three hours before you use it.
in passive voice?
Answer:
The wine should be opened by you about three hours before you use it.
Explanation:
First, identify the direct subject of this sentence, which is you. Remember to always change things in the independent clause. Then place the indirect object of the sentence at the beginning, which is wine in this case. Switch things around until they make the same meaning (except wordier), and voila - you are done.
Note: most of the time, passive voice is wordy, unclear, and hard to read, so stick with active voice for other writing.

Answer:
The general idea that best covers the specific ideas is: unpleasant emotions.
Explanation:
Unpleasant is an adjective that defines anything that causes discomfort or revulsion. When we think of emotions, feelings, or sensations such as horror, shame, disgust, and fear, we are thinking of unpleasant emotions. There is nothing good about feeling ashamed, for instance. It means you are feeling the pain caused by a humiliation. Disgust, for example, is something you feel when you see something sickening, revolting.

Below is a list of facts
about exotic pets. Write one
paragraph of an argument describing
why exotic pets such as chimpanzees
and tigers should not be allowed in
homes. Select the details that would
best support your claim from the list
of fast facts.
Answer:
Both chimpanzees and tigers are considerably larger and stronger than the average human, with an adult chimpanzee being 3x stronger than a human. These animals would need careful handling as they have been known to kill people, not to mention that exotic pets kill at least 4 people yearly. The large size of these animals would mean that they would require large enclosures to accomidate them both as a sleeping habitat and an open area to stimulate them. The avarage American house size is 2, 287 square feet, tigeresses need 20 square kilometers of space while male tigers need 60 - 100 square meters of territory. Chimpanzees need 23 square meters per individual. This substantial amount of land required to house these exotic animals would not be typically accomidable. However, if you are able to procure the land to house such animals, then that also raises other issues regarding medical care and food for the animals.
