Adjective of this sentence

Harry slowly walked to class and he was ten minutes late

The bagel data also reflect how much personal mood seems to affect honesty. Weather, for instance, is a major factor. Unseasonably pleasant weather inspires people to pay at a higher rate. Unseasonably cold weather, meanwhile, makes people cheat prolifically; so do heavy rain and wind. Worst are the holidays. The week of Christmas produces a 2 percent drop in payment rates—again, a 15 percent increase in theft, an effect on the same magnitude, in reverse, as that of 9/11. Thanksgiving is nearly as bad; the week of Valentine’s Day is also lousy, as is the week straddling April 15. There are, however, a few good holidays: the weeks that include the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. The difference in the two sets of holidays? The low-cheating holidays represent little more than an extra day off from work. The high-cheating holidays are fraught with miscellaneous anxieties and the high expectations of loved ones.


Based on the excerpt, the conclusion that “personal mood seems to affect honesty” is best supported by which of the following statements?

Relaxing summer and fall holidays generally cause payment rates to drop.

Stressful fall and winter holidays generally cause payment rates to drop.

Relaxing summer and fall holidays generally cause theft rates to increase.

Stressful fall and winter holidays generally cause theft rates to remain steady.

Which rhetorical technique is the speaker using?

Read the two passages.

Passage 1

Violence in video games is unavoidable. More than half of the top video games contain some element of violence. Does this lead to violence in the real world? Logical people know the answer, and the facts prove it. Between 1994 and 2004, video game sales increased by 204 percent. During that same time period, the arrest rate for juveniles committing violent crimes decreased by 63 percent. These facts make it obvious that video games are not a problem.

Passage 2

The majority of video games contain violence. Children playing these games leads directly to acts of violence. Several studies, including a 2014 study by the Journal of the American Medical Association, have shown a correlation between persistent video game use and aggressive behavior. While my own children play video games, they do not play games labeled "Mature.” Simply avoiding these games and allowing children to play the thousands of other available games is a logical way to avoid a potential problem.

Which passage provides the more effective argument, and why?

Passage 1 is more effective because passage 2 relies on personal anecdotes as the main evidence.
Passage 1 is more effective because it uses overstatement for extra emphasis, and passage 2 does not.
Passage 2 is more effective because it contains logical and anecdotal, while passage 1 contains a bandwagon appeal and a false dilemma.
Passage 2 is more effective because it presents data as empirical evidence, and passage 1 does not.

Read the excerpts from The Red Badge of Courage. In the first excerpt, Henry Fleming is fighting in his first battle. In the second excerpt, Henry is deserting his regiment.

Excerpt 1:

Perspiration streamed down the youth’s face, which was soiled like that of a weeping urchin. He frequently, with a nervous movement, wiped his eyes with his coat sleeve. His mouth was still a little ways open.

He got the one glance at the foe-swarming field in front of him, and instantly ceased to debate the question of his piece being loaded. Before he was ready to begin—before he had announced to himself that he was about to fight—he threw the obedient well-balanced rifle into position and fired a first wild shot. Directly he was working at his weapon like an automatic affair.

Excerpt 2:

To the youth it was an onslaught of redoubtable dragons. He became like the man who lost his legs at the approach of the red and green monster. He waited in a sort of a horrified, listening attitude. He seemed to shut his eyes and wait to be gobbled.

A man near him who up to this time had been working feverishly at his rifle suddenly stopped and ran with howls. A lad whose face had borne an expression of exalted courage, the majesty of he who dares give his life, was, at an instant, smitten abject. He blanched like one who has come to the edge of a cliff at midnight and is suddenly made aware. There was a revelation. He, too, threw down his gun and fled. There was no shame in his face. He ran like a rabbit.

Others began to scamper away through the smoke. The youth turned his head, shaken from his trance by this movement as if the regiment was leaving him behind. He saw the few fleeting forms.

Which quotation shows the effect of Henry’s changed perspective?

“Perspiration streamed down the youth’s face, which was soiled like that of a weeping urchin.”
“. . . he threw the obedient well-balanced rifle into position and fired a first wild shot.”
“He blanched like one who has come to the edge of a cliff at midnight and is suddenly made aware.”
“The youth turned his head, shaken from his trance by this movement as if the regiment was leaving him behind.”
