The correct answer is C.

Gore believes that Congress has been inconsistent in its support for clean water legislation, but it has an opportunity to do the right thing.

Let's break down the text to understand why this is correct.

Gore starts the extract by pointing out that it isn't the first time they've extended an invitation to Congress — this indicates that they're attempting to involve Congress in efforts related to the Clean Water Act. The subsequent comment that they spelled out their principles for strengthening the Clean Water Act during President Clinton's first term suggests they believe these principles are still relevant and needed. All of this indicates Gore's belief in Congress's ability to assist in strengthening clean water legislation.

However, Gore follows this by citing the 104th Congress's advancement of legislation that would have weakened the law, calling it the "Dirty Water Bill," which implies Congress's actions have not always been in support of clean water legislation. This showcases the inconsistency in Congress's previous support, as mentioned in option C.

Lastly, Gore talks about asking Congress to abandon dubious property rights bills while advocating for those that protect clean water rights. He is calling upon Congress to act positively again as they did when they passed the Safe Drinking Water Act the previous year. This demonstrates that Gore still sees a potential role for Congress, reaffirming that they have an opportunity to do the right thing.

None of the other answer choices capture all these nuances. The full context in option C best represents Gore's view as reflected in the excerpt.

In paragraph 10, when Gore uses a scriptural passage as a part of his speech, he is using a rhetorical device known as Ethos. Ethos is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology.

When a speaker or writer uses ethos, they are appealing to ethics, or the character and credibility of the speaker. They often leverage widely respected sources or values, such as scripture, to lend credibility and moral authority to their argument.

So, the correct answer is D. Ethos. The biblical allusion is not a bandwagon appeal (A) since it does not appeal to the popularity of an idea. It is not logos (B) as it does not appeal to logic or reasoning. Though the scripture can be seen as a figure of speech (C), it is more specifically an appeal to the listeners' ethics, morality or values - making it Ethos (D).

The correct answer is B. "Because of people like Vicki, the Cuyahoga River has been revitalized . . ." (paragraph 4).

This question refers to Vice President Al Gore's point of view regarding the role of individuals in the fight for clean water. The answer lies in discerning which line from the text expresses Gore's viewpoint about the impact that an individual can have on environmental efforts, specifically regarding clean water.

In option B, Vice President Gore particularly acknowledges the impact of a single individual, Vicki, on the revitalization of the Cuyahoga River. He attributes the recovery of the river to Vicki's efforts, and by extension emphasizes the role individuals can play in such improvements. This stands as evidence of his belief in the power that individuals possess in achieving environmental change.

Contrastingly, the other options don't as directly express Gore's viewpoint on the role individuals can play:

Option A only states a fact of Vicki's life, without showing any impact she may have had.

Option C mainly talks about the collaborative efforts of the government and communities, rather than focusing on the role of individuals.

Option D, although it appeals to individuals' concern about their children’s health, doesn't talk about the role individuals might play in achieving clean water.

The correct answer is C. "They appeal to people's emotions, implying that clean water is a community-based need that affects all of us."

In the given excerpt, Al Gore emphasizes the remaining challenges in water pollution, despite the success of the Clean Water Act. He uses emotionally charged phrases such as "dangerous run-offs of toxins and pollutants", "communities that don't have the knowledge or the resources to fully protect their water", and "regions where the wrong kind of development threatens our hard-won progress."

These phrases do not appeal to logic (D), as they don't discuss the complexity of the process; nor do they refer to the bandwagon effect (A), as the statement does not encourage people to join in because others are doing so too. They also don't emphasize growth in the community (B); instead, they highlight the challenges which need to be addressed.

Their main purpose is to trigger an emotional response and make the general public realize the pressing need for clean water in all communities, which affects us all. This emotional appeal is a commonly used persuasive technique, aiming to engage the audience on a deeper, emotional level and persuade them to agree with the speaker's point of view. The use of such language helps to underline the fact that clean water is not just an environmental issue, but a human one that directly affects all communities and their residents.

the answer is below

Explanation: The independent variable is the experimental factor which is manipulated and the variable whose effects are being studied. The dependent variable is a variable that could change due to the independent variable. The independent variable is the different ways that Jennifer treats her puppies in order to bring them closer to what she wants in the agility competition. The dependent variable is how they puppies perform each day.

Behavioral shaping is a conditioning procedure where the reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of a desired behavior. Jennifer guided Sasha closer and closer to completing a behavior correctly, thus utilizing shaping in order to bring the puppy closer to what she wanted.

Answer Part A:

1. There is a significant negative relationship between anxiety and academic performance, described as:

a. Subjects with lower anxiety scores have higher current GPAs, or;

b. Subjects who have lower current GPAs have higher anxiety scores.

Explanation:

We can tell that the two variables (anxiety and academic performance) have a negative relationship from its correlation coefficient (-.64). The negative sign shows the relationship, while the statistical significance (p < .01 or p < .05) shows whether there is a relationship or not.

Remember, the power of the correlation (as represented by the number 0.64) does not tell you whether a relationship actually happens or not. It can, however tell the strength of a relationship. A .64 is usually described as moderate to strong, depending on which reference you are using.

Also remember that this is not causation - we do not know which variable causes changes at the other. This is why it is possible to describe the relationship with either option (A) or (B). It is preferable to use a neutral sounding one such as the one stated above: By only saying that there is a negative relationship between the two variables.  

2. There is no relationship between hours sleeping per night and academic performance.

Explanation:

A correlation coefficient of 0.00 means that there is no relationship between two variables. The closer a correlation coefficient to 0, the less likely do the variables have a relationship with one another.

Answer Part B:

1. It contributes to the interpretation of the findings by discussing whether:

(1) The measurement used is appropriate for the research conducted,

(2) There are any limitations from the current method of measurement.

Explanation:

The operational definitions in the study are not explicitly stated, but we can come to our own conclusions from the description of the study. They are:

Academic performance is the current GPA as reported by the research subjects.

Anxiety is the anxiety score summed from the research subjects' responses to the anxiety scale.

Interpretation is usually done during the discussion part of a research journal, after the statistical results have been reported. Discussing operational definitions would help determine whether the right measurement is used. Is the method free of biases? For example, Dr. Aguilera used a 5-point scale to measure the student's anxiety levels; there is a possibility of central tendency bias occurring.

2. Cohort effects may contribute to a possible bias over the result of the research. The variations in both anxiety levels and GPA may not be due to each other's influences, but perhaps instead caused by other age-related experience variables such as social media use.

Explanation:

Cohort effects are defined as a condition shared with same-aged groups of people which affected the result of the research. It is a form of bias, when it is not controlled. Dr. Aguilera's study is at risk of being affected with this since her research subjects are all university students.

In the study, we saw that Dr. Aguilera measured social media use, however, she did not seem to control this variable. It is possible that the variation in anxiety is moderated by social media, which then affects the subjects' GPA.

Something that is persistent remains over time; this is a key characteristic of DDT, which also happens to be a pollutant/pesticide. DDT is able to persist in an environment (as a pollutant) in part due to a phenomenon known as biological magnification. In simpler terms. once DDT enters an ecosystem/trophic structure, it gets worse as you go up the trophic levels; in other words, this means that the worst effects/concentrations of the pesticide will be felt in the uppermost trophic levels (your consumers rather than producers).

The basis for this, however, lies in the fact that organisms of a trophic structure/ecosystem consume each other; they feed on each other to survive (e.g. consumers feeding on producers, higher-level consumers feeding on lower-level consumers, etc.). Thus, once DDT gets into an ecosystem, it can only persist and spread in that ecosystem. Hope this helps :)

The proportion of the available motorcycles that Molly can afford is 60%.

The 30th percentile for the motorcycle is $11920

It should be noted that $25,000 is considered an outlier because it is greater than $24792

Since, mean, μ =  $14,000 and standard deviation, σ = $4,000, the standard variable Z or x = $15,000 will be:

Z = (x - μ)/σ

Z = (15000 - 14000)/4000

Z = 0.25

We then check the table and see that it implies that Molly can buy 60% of the available motorcycles.

The 30th percentile for the prices of motorcycles of this type corresponds to a value of Z = -0.52. This will then be:

x = μ + Z*σ

x = 14000 + (-0.52) × 4000

x = $11920

Lastly, the third quartile value when added to 1.5 x IQR will be equal to:

= 16698 + (1.5 × 5396) = $24792

Therefore, $25,000 is considered an outlier because it is greater than $24792
