Explanation:
The major difference between supervisors and management is that while managers are more of a reflection of the company to the outside world, the supervisor works more closely with the support staff to get the desired results.

Read the following passage:
"Most people picture large, frightening events when they think of climate change: uncontrolled wildfires, severe storms, or deadly
food and water shortages. Its small effects on the quiet normalcy of everyday life will be equally devastating, however. Current
research says we are at risk of losing cofee to climate change.
"Scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens warn that more than 60 percent of coffee species are in danger of extinction. Coffe is
thrcatened because it has strict temperature and rainfall needs, and its habitat is shrinking due to shifing weather patterns and
deforestation. Plant scientists say citizens, corporations, and lawmakers must act now to establish new forest preserves and protect
fragile species and their environments.
"Climate change skeptics and industry spokesmen say these wories are overblown fear-mongering because most of the plants in
trouble are wild species, not the farmed varieties used by coffee makers. The scientists respond that the wild species will be needed if
the crops used now can't cope with warmer and drier cồnditions and the spread of discases and pests that are predicted.
Vhat is the main idea?
1)The coffee industry thinks botanists are exaggerating the consequences of climate change.
2) Climate change is dangerous and depressing.
3) Scientists are alarmed that climate change may cause the extinction of coffee plants.
4)Coffee drinkers should stock up because most of the plants will go extinct soon.

It is stated that coffee are at danger of becoming extinct as a great number of plants that are used in the production of coffee are at risk because of their specific weather needs. The scientists believe this is a genuine risk and want the lawmakers and everyone else to put more effort to put countermeasures in place to checkmate this.
Therefore, the main idea of the passage is that scientists are alarmed that climate change may cause the extinction of coffee plants

The standard deviation in a large population is equal to 8.3. How big sample is needed to be 90% sure that the sample mean is within 1.3units of the population mean?
Answer:
111
Explanation:
The sample mean is within 1.3units of the population mean, therefore the margin of error (E) = 1.3
confidence (C) = 90% = 0.9
α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
α/2 = 0.1 / 2 = 0.05
The z value for a confidence of 90% = z value of α/2 = z value of 0.45 (0.5 - 0.05) = 1.645
Given that E = 1.3, standard deviation (σ) and sample size = n.
The margin of error (E) is given by:
[tex]E=Z_\frac{\alpha}{2}*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\Substituting:\\\\1.3=1.645*\frac{8.3}{\sqrt{n} }\\\\\sqrt{n}= 1.645*\frac{8.3}{1.3}\\\\\sqrt{n} =10.5\\\\n=110.3[/tex]
n ≈ 111 (to the next whole number)
Read the passage. There are so many bird-cherries round me, great trees with branches sweeping the grass, and they are so wreathed just now with white blossoms and tenderest green that the garden looks like a wedding. I never saw such masses of them; they seem to fill the place. Even across a little stream that bounds the garden on the east, and right in the middle of the cornfield beyond, there is an immense one, a picture of grace and glory against the cold blue of the spring sky. My garden is surrounded by cornfields and meadows, and beyond are great stretches of sandy heath and pine-forests, and where the forests leave off the bare heath begins again; but the forests are beautiful in their lofty, pink-stemmed vastness, far overhead the crowns of softest grey-green, and underfoot a bright green whortleberry carpet, and everywhere the breathless silence; and the bare heaths are beautiful too, for one can see across them into eternity almost...

Answer:
D!
Explanation:
read the poem:
Come up from the fields father, here’s a letter from our Pete,
And come to the front door mother, here’s a letter from thy
dear son.
Lo, ’tis autumn,
Lo, where the trees, deeper green, yellower and redder,
Cool and sweeten Ohio’s villages, with leaves fluttering in the
moderate wind,
Where apples ripe in the orchards hang and grapes on the
trellis’d vines,
(Smell you the smell of the grapes on the vines?
Smell you the buckwheat where the bees were lately buzzing?)
Above all, lo, the sky so calm, so transparent after the rain, and with
wondrous clouds,
Below too, all calm, all vital and beautiful, and the farm
prospers well.
Down in the fields all prospers well,
But now from the fields come father, come at the daughter’s call,
And come to the entry mother, to the front door come right away.
Fast as she can she hurries, something ominous, her steps trembling,
She does not tarry to smooth her hair nor adjust her cap.
Open the envelope quickly,
O this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d,
O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken
mother’s soul!
All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the
main words only,
Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry
skirmish, taken to hospital,
At present low, but will soon be better.
Ah now the single figure to me,
Amid all teeming and wealthy Ohio with all its cities and
farms,
Sickly white in the face and dull in the head, very faint,
By the jamb of a door leans.
Grieve not so, dear mother, (the just-grown daughter speaks
through her sobs,
The little sisters huddle around speechless and dismay’d,)
See, dearest mother, the letter says Pete will soon be better.
Alas poor boy, he will never be better, (nor maybe needs to be
better, that brave and simple soul,)
While they stand at home at the door he is dead already,
The only son is dead.
But the mother needs to be better,
She with thin form presently drest in black,
By day her meals untouch’d, then at night fitfully sleeping,
often waking,
In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep
longing,
O that she might withdraw unnoticed, silent from life escape
and withdraw,
To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead son.

How does the language of the poem evoke a sense of a bygone time and place, specifically nineteenth century America?
The poem's references to places and people are ones that existed in that period, but which do not exist today.
The poem's depiction of the mother's sadness indicates a frailty or weakness that was commonly assigned to women in this period.
The poem's explanations of the family's reaction suggest an ignorance or an innocence that people today would not exhibit.
The poem's descriptions of the farm focus on natural elements, but make no mention of man-made tools or equipment.
