Answer:
The evidence that highlights this conflict is:
b. Sekhar felt greatest pity for him. But he felt he could not help it. No judge delivering a sentence felt more pained and helpless.
d. Two casualties for today, Sekhar said to himself. If I practice it for a week, I don’t think I shall have a single friend left.
Explanation:
As was stated in the question, the conflict in "Like the Sun", by R. K. Narayan, is the fact that Sekhar does not want to hurt people's feelings, but he has decided to tell only the truth for a whole day. Therefore, he knows very well he will end up hurting others. He sticks to his plan and only says what he truly thinks. However, that does not happen without discomfort or pain. He feels for the others, he knows he is insulting them.
The headmaster of the school where Sekhar teaches becomes vindictive after being told his pursuit of music should not go on. Sekhar makes it very clear that he is a terrible singer, but does so with great pain:
Sekhar felt greatest pity for him. But he felt he could not help it. No judge delivering a sentence felt more pained and helpless.
Upon arriving home, Sekhar's wife is sullen after having been told her food tasted bad in the morning. Sekhar confirms what he already had predicted - that telling the truth brings problems in social life since people do not really want to hear it:
Two casualties for today, Sekhar said to himself. If I practice it for a week, I don’t think I shall have a single friend left.
To him, facing the truth is like staring at the sun: no one can really do it.

Read each sentence and determine if it is an example of a comma splice or a fused sentence, or if it is
grammatically correct as written. Choose the answers from the drop-down menus
Lucia walks on the beach every morning, today she saw two turtles headed for the ocean.
Lucia loves turtles, and she invited her friend Lena to walk with her.
Lena joined Lucia the next day she was hoping the turtles would appear again.
The girls didn't see any turtles, but they did see a leaping dolphin
Answer and Explanation:
A comma splice is the use of a comma alone to join sentences that were originally independent. It is a common mistake, but it should be avoided. Notice how that happens in sentence 1:
Lucia walks on the beach every morning, today she saw two turtles headed for the ocean.
Notice how the comma breaks the sentence in a strange manner. One way to correct that would be by adding the conjunctions "and" or "but" after the comma.
A fused sentence happens when we put together two independent clauses with no punctuation or conjunction to connect them at all. That is what happens in sentence 3:
Lena joined Lucia the next day she was hoping the turtles would appear again.
This can be correct by adding a semicolon or a comma plus a conjunction.
Sentences 2 and 4 are correct as they are. They use commas and conjunctions to connect the independent sentences:
Lucia loves turtles, and she invited her friend Lena to walk with her.
The girls didn't see any turtles, but they did see a leaping dolphin.

The sign says to keep off the grass, but there is only dirt in the lotIrony.
Explanation:
Exaggeration/Hyperbole: This is an obvious over-amplification of claims or events for added effect. It is usually not taken literally. This is used to pass across a message to show the severity or consequence of something.
An example is " I was so hungry, i could swallow a horse".
This does not mean that the person can literally swallow a horse but just to show the extent of the hunger.
Humor: Humor is the quality of being comical or amusing usually to elicit laughter.
The example above, "What must you do before you get off a bus> Get on it".
This uses humor to show that one must first be on a bus before he can think of getting off and the question is constructed in a funny way.
Irony: This is the expression of one's feelings through the use of words that signify the opposite of what is really meant, usually for emphasis.

How does Alcoholics Anonymous help people deal with alcoholism?
El consumo de alcohol es un fenómeno socialmente aceptado que de hecho forma parte desde la antigüedad de una gran cantidad de culturas. Sin embargo, muchas personas realizan un consumo de alcohol excesivo y muy prolongado a lo largo del tiempo y terminan adquiriendo dependencia a esta sustancia: estamos hablando de dependencia al alcohol o alcoholismo.
Esta situación tiene graves repercusiones para el sujeto, pudiendo generar graves problemas de salud o incluso llevar a la muerte. Se trata de algo dramático que muchas familias observan en uno de sus miembros, no sabiendo cómo actuar. ¿Cómo ayudar a un alcohólico? En este artículo vamos a discutir una serie de pautas generales que familiares y amigos pueden encontrar relevantes y útiles de cara a abordar el tema.
Artículo relacionado: "Alcoholismo: estos son los efectos de la dependencia a la bebida"
Rememorando conceptos: ¿qué es el alcoholismo?
Se considera alcoholismo la adicción al alcohol, es decir, la adquisición de dependencia tanto física como psicológica al consumo de bebidas espirituosas que se genera debido a la adquisición de tolerancia hacia su consumo. El organismo necesita mayores cantidades de sustancia para notar los mismos efectos, a la vez que su ausencia genera potentes síntomas propias de un síndrome de abstinencia, como ahora disforia, agitación, convulsiones y otros tipos de alteración. Se consume de tal manera que se invierte una gran cantidad de tiempo en conseguir alcohol o se descuidan o deterioran otras actividades o ámbitos vitales relevantes.
Estamos ante una situación en el que el sujeto pierde el control ante el consumo, siendo este mucho mayor de lo que se pretendería y llevándose a cabo a pesar del conocimiento de posibles consecuencias aversivas tanto para él como para su entorno. Sin embargo es frecuente que exista un deseo de cesar el consumo y pueden haberse hecho uno o varios intentos al respecto (infructuosos). A pesar de ello, suelen negar la existencia de una dependencia.
El consumo descontrolado y frecuente de alcohol puede acarrear consecuencias dramáticas, pudiendo generar cirrosis hepática, hígado graso o incluso disfunciones renales. Los daños sobre estos órganos pueden ser irreversibles y llevar a la necesidad de un transplante o incluso a la muerte por la destrucción de dichos tejidos. El alcohólico se intoxica con frecuencia, siendo habitual la presencia de lagunas y pérdidas de consciencia. En algunos casos el sujeto puede llegar al coma etílico o incluso a la muerte por paro cardiorespiratorio.
El comportamiento también se altera, pudiendo ir desde la agresividad hasta la pasividad extrema, y no es poco habitual que se realicen conductas de riesgo en estado de ebriedad. Socialmente pueden sufrir el abandono de su entorno o generar gran sufrimiento a aquellos que les rodean.

versus a memoir about the same event?

more connected to the event.
B. The memoir is written as the events are occurring.
C. The memoir is more reliable because the writer has no biases.
D. The newspaper article reports events more objectively.
SUBMIT
Answer: a
Explanation:
The newspaper article reports events more objectively. Therefore, option (D) is correct.
What are newspaper articles?Newspaper articles and memoirs are two different types of writing that present information in different ways. A newspaper article is typically written by a journalist who reports on an event objectively, providing facts and information without personal bias or opinions. The language used in a newspaper article is formal and professional, and the writer's personal feelings or experiences are generally not included.
On the other hand, a memoir is a first-person account of an event or series of events, written by someone who was personally involved in the situation. Memoirs are often more subjective and may include the writer's thoughts, feelings, and biases. The language used in a memoir is typically more personal and reflective, and the writer may use more informal language and employ literary techniques such as flashbacks or stream-of-consciousness writing.
In summary, newspaper articles and memoirs present information in different ways, with newspaper articles being more objective and factual, and memoirs being more subjective and personal.

Answer: The answer is. C: Streams relocate all rocks into the oceans.
Explanation: If the bottom of the river is flat and the banks are sand, the sediment that is deposited into a river helps to determine the shape of the river. This erosion also helps to define the watershed, which is the area drained by a river or river system. Sediment that is carried a long way in the watershed eventually gets dumped into a delta near the mouth of a river. The delta formed by the Mississippi River contains approximately 521,000 acres of land. The Mississippi River watershed is the largest watershed in the United States. Forty Percent of the land mass of the United States is considered part of the Mississippi River watershed.
