How do get Silvio to escape?

Scare him so hard that he runs away. Don't turn on the fan; instead, take the necessary steps to cause him to pass out. So turn on the service bell, chair lift, and gramophone. He'll become frightened and flee.

When considering the effects of accepting a new idea as truth, which question is it MOST important to ask? a. Who might agree or disagree with this statement? b. Will I have to change what I have believed for a long time? c. Do I fully understand what is being said? d. What does this idea mean?

Answers

Answer:

c. Do I fully understand what is being said?  

Explanation:

Before accepting a new idea as true it is important that you make sure that you fully understand everything that is being said. If by chance, you do not understand everything that the new idea means and everything that it represents, you should not accept it as true, but try to understand it completely, question it, interpret it and come to a conclusion that will define if it is true for you and what you believe or not.

We might at times be confronted with ideas that are opposite to what we believed in. Before accepting such ideologies, the question that is MOST important to ask is;

c. Do I fully understand what is being said?

Before accepting new ideologies, it is important that we inquire to know if we fully understand what the idea is about.

A good comprehension of the ideologies being stated will help us to know if they align with our perspective of things. If they do, then we might be more disposed to accept them,

C. Starr is conflicted on how to proceed because her impressions of the police are directly  interfering with her feelings for her uncle

Explanation:

The above option is the best statement that supports the claim.

I will answer this to the best of my knowledge. A look at the stated quote shows that there is a conflict in the mind of Starr. It's like moving here, she sees cops and moving there she sees cops. She comes into a state of dilemma which interferes with the feelings for her uncle. From the quote, we can also gather her impression about the police.

Explanation:

She knows that all cops are not that bad because her Uncle Carlos is one who helps people, not making rash decisions  but she also know that what the other cop did was not called for (just because he was scared) The only reason she goes to the cops is for Carlos's sake, and hoping to see if anything would happen, if the cop be arrested or not.

Water is produced from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gas, according to the equation below. What is the excess reactant in the reaction of 4.2 moles of hydrogen with 3.0 moles of oxygen?

2H2(g) + O2(g) = 2H2O(L)

Select one:
a. Water
b. Oxygen
c. No excess reactant
d. Hydrogen

Answers

Answer:

b. Oxygen

Explanation:

It can be seen that the chemical equation have 2 moles of hydrogen gas that should be reacted with the one mole of oxygen gas

Now for 4.2 moles, the hydrogen gas would be reacted as

= 4.2 × 1 ÷  2

= 2.1 mole oxygen gas

Therefore the hydrogen would be limited the reagent because it limits the product formation

On the other hand, the oxygen is the excess reagent i.e.

= 3 - 2.1

= 0.9 moles

This would be left for oxygen

Hence, the correct option is b.

- Why does the speaker name so many kinds of workers?

- What is the effect of these references?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Why does the speaker name so many kinds of workers?

In his poem "I Hear America Singing", Walt Whitman mentions several kinds of workers:  the mason, the carpenter, the seamstress, the shoemaker, and so on. The reason behind this is that the author is trying to make sure he is representing America's working class and its beautiful variety of professions in this poem. Of course, he cannot mention each and every profession there is, but he does speak of so many in an attempt to make workers feel represented, seen.

What is the effect of these references?

Those references value each individual's hard work. This poem is, after all, a celebration of each person's uniqueness, a homage to their building America with their own hands. Whitman wants to convey the message that it is the working class that makes this country a wonderful place to live in. It is their hard work that makes America such a beautiful nation.
