Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal." I propose to provide for them in such a manner, as, instead of being a charge upon their parents, or the parish, or wanting food and raiment for the rest of their lives, they shall, on the contrary, contribute to the feeding, and partly to the cloathing of many thousands. . . . Which false premise does the author rely on in this excerpt? a) that parents would choose to disown their children instead of caring for them b) that parents would value their children over an improved economy c) that parents would rather sell their children than be responsible for them d) that parents would prefer to provide for their children instead of selling them

Answer:

c) That parents would rather sell their children than be responsible for them.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift's satirical essay "A Modest Proposal" is a proposal by him on the drastic poverty and unconventional and troubling condition of the poor people, especially the young children in Ireland. he uses satire to attack the government and 'suggest' a plan/ solution to tackle the poverty situation of the whole country.

In this proposal, Swift gave a suggestion that for the benefit of everyone, he has a solution for the poverty in the country. He states that children be sold as meat for the rich, which will give them good enough source of food/ meat to entertain their guests. At the same time, the poor families will also be provided with a continuous source of income for their survival. Thus, producing children will not only give the rich food, but also help the parents of these children financially.

Thus, the false premise that the author Swift rely in the excerpt given in the question is that parents would rather sell their children than be responsible for them.

What is the main reason the "putting-out" system gave way to the factory system in the British textile industry? A) The factory system allowed employers to hire women and children. B) The factory system allowed more cloth to be produced at a lower cost. C) The factory system did not require a natural supply of water power. D) The factory system produced better quality cloth.

Answer:

B) The factory system allowed more cloth to be produced at a lower cost.

Explanation:

Putting out system reduce the restrictive rules and  regulations of the urban merchants and brought the first widespread industrial employment of women and children. The advantages to the merchant-employer were the lower wage costs and increased efficiency due to a more extensive division of labour within the craft.

NO−3(aq)+4H+(aq)+3e−→NO(g)+2H2O(l)E∘=0.96V ClO2(g)+e−→ClO2−(aq)E∘=0.95V Cu2+(aq)+2e−→Cu(s)E∘=0.34V 2H+(aq)+2e−→H2(g)E∘=0.00V Pb2+(aq)+2e−→Pb(s)E∘=−0.13V Fe2+(aq)+2e−→Fe(s)E∘=−0.45V Part A Use appropriate data to calculate E∘cell for the reaction. 3Cu(s)+2NO−3(aq)+8H+(aq)→3Cu2+(aq)+2NO(g)+4H2O(l)

Answer: The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.62 V.

Explanation:

For the given chemical equation:

3Cu(s)+2NO_3^-(aq)+8H^+(aq.)\rightarrow 3Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2NO(g)+4H_2O(l)

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

Oxidation half reaction:  Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s);E^o_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}=0.34V     ( × 3 )

Reduction half reaction:  NO_3^-(aq.)+4H^+(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow NO(g)+2H_2O(l);E^o=0.96V    ( × 2 )

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

E^o_{cell}=0.96-(0.34)=0.62V

Hence, the standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.62 V.

Which of the following is primarily responsible for strength gains in youth clients? Hypertrophy training Neurological factors Power training Environmental factors

Answer:

Hypertrophic factors,

Explanation:

Hypertrophic factors are mainly responsible for strength gains in youth clients due to following reasons .

  • The size of skeletal muscle increases by the muscle hypertrophy through growth component cells. And it is primarily responsible for strength gaining in the children.
  • Neurological factors such as having hyper activeness of the brain structure of the human body that leads to cause a mental disorder      
  • children, by increasing in strength owing to neural factors leads to produce more potential and it involves the coordination of muscle groups could be partly responsible for strength gaining.

         T

Answer:

Neurological Factors

Explanation:

"Boys and girls can indeed significantly improve their strength with resistance training. However, unlike adults, neurological factors, as opposed to hypertrophic factors, are primarily responsible for these gains."-Pg 638 ISSA Training
