What effect do you think the publication of fake news will have on the United States or on Americans in the near future if any? Explain the reasoning behind your answer.

Answer:

The publication of fake news may have a detrimental effect on the United States and Americans in the near future. It can lead to a loss of trust in traditional news sources, which can in turn lead to a polarized society where individuals only seek out news that confirms their existing beliefs. This can lead to a lack of understanding of important issues and make it harder for the government to make informed decisions that benefit all citizens.

help ASAP pls!! Read the poem "Mother" by Lola Ridge. Then, answer the question that follows. Your love was like moonlight turning harsh things to beauty, so that little wry souls reflecting each other obliquely as in cracked mirrors… beheld in your luminous spirit their own reflection, transfigured as in a shining stream, and loved you for what they are not. You are less an image in my mind than a luster I see you in gleams pale as star-light on a gray wall… evanescent as the reflection of a white swan shimmering in broken water. Based on the figurative language used by the poet, which statement best expresses the theme of the poem? A parent's or guardian's love provides a light that reflects the brightest version of ourselves. As an adult it can be difficult to remember what childhood is like. Children sometimes take the love of a parent or guardian for granted. There are many things in life to be thankful for, including those around us.

Read the following text from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her organization?
In response to the rampant graffiti problem in our school, I am proposing one relatively straightforward solution. Each classroom should be assigned to one area of the school and given responsibility for its upkeep, from keeping it clear of litter to ensuring that the walls are unmarked. Students could earn points for each day that their assigned area is kept free of graffiti. These points would entitle students to special prizes or privileges at school. The amount of graffiti around the school lately is simply unacceptable. Property is being damaged, and the custodial staff spends far too much time cleaning up after delinquent students. If students take pride in our school and work together, we can keep it looking spotless and beautiful.

What is the theme of this poem:

For other fruits my father was indifferent.

He’d point at the cherry trees and say,

“See those? I wish they were figs.”

In the evenings he sat by our beds

weaving folktales like vivid little scarves.

They always involved a figtree.

Even when it didn’t fit, he’d stick it in.

Once Joha was walking down the road

and he saw a figtree.

Or, he tied his camel to a figtree and went to sleep.

Or, later when they caught and arrested him,

his pockets were full of figs.

At age six I ate a dried fig and shrugged.

“That’s not what I’m talking about!” he said,

“I’m talking about a fig straight from the earth—

gift of Allah!—on a branch so heavy

it touches the ground.

I’m talking about picking the largest, fattest, sweetest fig

in the world and putting it in my mouth.”

(Here he’d stop and close his eyes.)

Years passed, we lived in many houses,

none had figtrees.

We had lima beans, zucchini, parsley, beets.

“Plant one!” my mother said,

but my father never did.

He tended garden half-heartedly, forgot to water,

let the okra get too big.

“What a dreamer he is. Look how many

things he starts and doesn’t finish.”

The last time he moved, I had a phone call,

my father, in Arabic, chanting a song

I’d never heard. “What’s that?”

He took me out to the new yard.

There, in the middle of Dallas, Texas,

a tree with the largest, fattest,

sweetest figs in the world.

“It’s a figtree song!” he said,

plucking his fruits like ripe tokens,

emblems, assurance

of a world that was always his own.
