C) Advances in Technology are making people less social.

About 95% of the American population own smartphones. As a matter of fact, technology has made the lives of people a lot easier and also allowed people to communicate worldwide. Nowadays, smartphones are saving people trips to the bank, to the restaurant and even to the bookstore. Also, people can get a plane ticket and book a hotel room in less than a minute. Companies have their meetings with clients and employees online, which is more convenient and time-saving. However, advances in technology are making people less social, as well. If you have a smartphone or some other related device, chances are that you have ignored people (or been ignored by them) while being engrossed in this social technology. The truth is that what once facilitated people's lives and brought people close together is now making them less sociable.

Machiavelli works to achieve his primary purpose to convince readers that a prince must ruin a conquered republic or live there by:

1. Explaining the roots of rebellion in conquered republics.

The best way to secure a state that has been formerly free is by complete destruction. If the prince does not make this decision, he will be in danger of being destroyed himself. No matter if the state was acquired long ago, rebellions, encouraged by the ideals of freedom and tradition, will always rise.

2. Contrasting the characteristics of principalities and republics.

Machiavelli explains that cities or provinces used to being governed by a prince are easier to conquer after the family has been taken down. Citizens of these states have always obeyed a ruler and never met a free way of life. Thus, it is less problematic for the new prince to mantain the power in such places.

On the other hand, in republics, a sense of hatred and vengeance against the new prince will persist, so, to avoid rebellions, the best choice would be to destroy the republic or to personally occupy the conquered state.

The ideas towards immigrants these days in the USA have clearly changed from those expressed on the base of the Statue of Liberty. In the sonnet, The New Colossus, the poem  inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, one can read these famous lines: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Whereas the Statue of liberty advocates for open borders and the welcoming of all immigrants and all peoples, today´s majority in the USA, at least as it is represented by their elected federal governments, both from the Democratic and the Republican parties, advocate for stronger border security and an economic and merit based flow of immigration –forbidding those who don´t meet these standards to be allowed entrance into the USA. Migration has become and economic affair, whereas in the past, it was a humanitarian and humanist issue.

If we're arguing against reality shows, we probably want to show that it has some negative effect on others. The only answer choice that directly describes a negative effect of reality shows is B.

Neither choice A nor choice D directly describes a negative effect on any individual. Choice C may sound appealing, but it does not directly state any negative effect on any individual, while choice B says that reality shows make young people less pleasant. Thus, choice B is the best answer.

The only logical appeal AGAINST appearing on reality shows is that reality shows have increased rude and aggressive behavior among young people.

The other choices might be good reasons why someone would want to appear on a reality show. If the performers can get free publicity to potentially launch a career in news media or entertainment and/or can earn a lot of money, who wouldn't want to appear on a reality show.

I believe the answer is D.

Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko is a nice example of a  Native American tradition of storytelling.  Being considered relatively popular among Native American literature, also called Indian literature or American Indian literature. It has its own special impact by being a book, considering the traditional oral and written literatures of the indigenous peoples of the Americas is a communal and oral event where the elders tell the stories. The story telling in this book is in the form of poems. These stories are in fact traditional community stories. Some of the prose sections are narrated in a third person style, however the poems vary between first and third person.  

Most ceremonies of the traditional stories revolve around procuring a good rainfall, as signals of the spirits, that could either aprove por show their displeasure with the community (drought) being depicted as a destructive spirit. In the book  the character Josiah tells Tayo when he was a child, that all in life has both a good and a bad side as another example of their spirituals believes.  

I think this book best reflects American culture, morals, and philosophy because it includes descriptions about ceremonies and ritual to cure people from their community. One thing often presented in ancient stories, including in this book is the believe that forgetting our people's tradition brings disaster and drought, therefore preserving traditiond,specially when it comes to subjects related to medicine, is very important to the native american culture.

In “The catcher in the rye”, the classic novel written by JD Salinger, Holden Caufield, the narrator, and main character is a 16-year-old boy just spelled from school.

Ackley is Holden Neighbour at Pency Prep and he continuously tries to chase him away but seems not to realize it. Stradlater is Holden´s roommate, contrary to the protagonist he is self-satisfied, handsome and sexually active. The truth is that the main character is uncomfortable with everything and everyone, you might say disappointed with his own life and especially with people at Pencey.  

Jane Gallager is a girl that Holden likes and with whom, he spents a lot of time one summer, but´s also a girl with whom his roommate date one time and he's got a hunch that he´ll take advantage of her. This really upsets him as he consider Jane a sweet, innocent girl and respects her a lot.

Along the whole story, Holden tries to find a connection with many characters that appaer but bearly get so. Mostly because of his attitude: he is immature and odd making people angry or driving them away confused.  

Along the story, there is a tense climate between Holden childhood and the adult world trying to delay his entrance into this universe. Most of the episodes take place once he leaves Pencey.

Most of the novel goes on past voice but ends on present tense describing his idea of applyig for a new school as his trip has changed him enough to aim this goal with a renewed attitude.

The original passage is "One anxious scribe felt very dull that day; a sheep-bell tinkled near by, and called her wandering wits after it." It is taken from chapter IV in the book The Country of Pointed Firs, by Sarah Orne Jewett.

The book was written in 1896 and the character who is narrating the story is sitting by the school window after attending a funeral and watching the procession of mourners pass by. Bees are flying in, attracted by the scent  of the ink used by the students: ' their riots over the ink, which I had bought at the Landing store, and discovered too late to be scented with bergamot, as if to refresh the labors of anxious scribes.'

Scribes, in this context, is used to refer to the students themselves. The ink is scented to make it more pleasant - or at least more endurable - for them to write and learn and sit quietly while life goes by outside. When the narrator says, 'One anxious scribe felt very dull that day,' the word scribe is referring to the narrator herself. She feels different not only for attending the funeral but also for not feeling as if she belonged where she is living now.

As its original meaning, scribe refers to a person whose job is to write and/or make copies of documents. In Ancient Egypt, the scribes were in charge of writing letters and documents, working for the royalty as well as people who were not able to write.
