the progress toward improved roadways
Read this excerpt from Chapter 1 of Wheels of Change by Sue Macy.
On its members' behalf, the L.A.W. campaigned for separate bicycle paths in cities and pointed out to farmers that better rural roads would save their horses from injury. The smooth surfaces, claimed the organization, would also allow farmers to use fewer horses to move their goods to market, resulting in an annual saving of $700 million on horse feed alone. Before long, farmers stood squarely with the L.A.W. in the campaign for better roads. For their trouble, they saw the farmland along newly paved roads double in value.
3. Why did Monkeyman choose not to fight back
in the park? (Paragraphs 86-94)
O A He thought the Tigros might attack
Peaches again if he won the hight.
OB He did not want his grandfather and
godmother to see him being violent,
O C He wanted everyone to see that the Tigros
were wrong for acting so violently
D He agreed with the Tigros that he should
have minded his business instead of
getting in their way,
Answer:
He wanted everyone to see that the Tigris were wrong for acting so violently
Without specific context from the text, it could be that Monkeyman decided not to fight back against the Tigros either because he didn't want to disappoint his elders by being violent or because he wanted to show everyone that the Tigros were wrong in their violent ways.
Explanation:The question refers to the character Monkeyman and his decision not to retaliate against the Tigros in a park confrontation. Without specific context, it's hard to provide a definitive answer, but based on the options provided, option B and C could make sense. If Monkeyman respects his elders (grandfather and godmother), he might not want to disappoint them by resorting to violence - option B. Alternatively, Monkeyman may wish to maintain moral high ground and show everyone that the Tigros' violent ways were wrong - option C. Again, without direct context from the text, it's difficult to say for sure.

Explanation:
CASE: Cross-Cultural Misunderstanding in the Workplace
Kurt, an American expatriate has recently been assigned to work in Mali as a marketing manager. His regional manager Davido is South African. Most of Kurt’s peers and all of his subordinates are West Africans. Kurt has been in the Mali subsidiary for only a few months but already has major concerns. Upon arrival he was very excited and optimistic about his working opportunity in Mali, feeling confident that the management style that brought him so much success in the United States would propel him to similar high performance in Mali. He was a problem solver and loved to dive in and attack problems openly and directly. Also, based on his past success with work groups in the United States, he reasoned that by involving all Malian sales staff in decision- making, the company could attain double-digit growth easily. Certainly, the local sales staff would be in the best position to know how to grow the business in their respective sales districts. Therefore, in the first meeting with his sales staff, rather than telling them what he thought needed to be done, he posed the question to the group for open discussion.
Only then did Kurt realize how quiet his Malian employees could be. After some time, Kurt felt he needed to jump-start the discussion and brought out his idea of using more billboard advertising. The group suddenly came alive and enthusiastically supported the idea as a fine one. Then the deafening silence returned once more. This process repeated itself a few more times until Kurt decided to terminate the meeting, and he returned to his office in frustration. How unfortunate he felt to be stuck in this assignment with a bunch of lazy employees with no initiative, or who were incompetent and unable to make useful suggestions, or both!
But Kurt’s employees were not his only worry. His boss, Davido, seemed to be cold and brusque with him lately—certainly not the warm, hospitable person he remembers in their first interactions. This change in Davido’s attitude began a few weeks ago at a regional management team meeting, where Kurt teased other managers for arriving 10 to 15 minutes late. In subsequent meetings Kurt brought up several ideas for improving the various functions of the regional operations in Africa—ideas that he knew worked well in the United States. Despite making what he thought were insightful suggestions time after time in subsequent meetings, Kurt’s relationship with his boss seemed to grow colder. Kurt began fearing the company’s Malian operations were doomed due to failure in a culture where indolence, incompetence, and bureaucracy prevailed. But as he monitored actual performance of the operation, he was amazed that this part of the company was showing strong profits and growth. Kurt thought that perhaps there was something wrong with him, that he was not cut out for an international assignment after all. Kurt saw his two- or three-year assignment in Mali stretching before him as an eternity of potential failure. Worse yet, he wondered how his impending failure with this important international assignment might damage his future opportunities with the firm.

c) Provide insights into Schein (2004)’s underlying cultural assumptions that might help Kurt in his cultural adaption? (5 Marks)
d) How should Kurt behave differently to improve his relationship with the Regional Boss Davido.?
Answer:
Cross-Cultural Misunderstanding in the Workplace
a) The cultural dimension of Hofstede (2001) central to the problems Kurt is experiencing are Power Distance and Individualism/Collectivism. Kurt "reasoned that by involving all Malian sales staff in decision- making, the company could attain double-digit growth easily." Whereas, the Malian sales staff were expecting Kurt to issue orders, since they were used to receiving orders, Kurt wanted all to be involved in decision-making. They were certainly not used to such liberty.
b) The possible causes of Kurt's ineffectiveness in leading the Malian sales team include: i) his lack of knowledge of the Malian culture where subordinates expected to receive orders instead of being asked to contribute to decision-making. ii) his confidence and optimism are intimidating to his subordinates. They are not shared feelings. iii) his openness and directedness do not go well with his boss, either.
c) According to Schein (2004), understanding some underlying cultural assumptions might help Kurt to adapt culturally to the Malian environment. The values shared by the Malian employees are different from Kurt's values. Most of them have come to work to earn a living and not to make a difference. Kurt wants to solve problems by diving deep, being open and direct. The employees are not used to being directed to take actions, and not being given the chance to discuss the actions.
d) To improve his relationship with the Regional Boss, Davido, Kurt needed to understand Davido's leadership style and the cultural practices that have evolved during Davido's tenure. Davido was on ground before Kurt. Kurt should observe and study him to know what style works for him. There should be open discussion with Davido to educate Kurt on the cultural nuisances of the Malian organization. Giving Davido the opportunity to explain how things work there, would enable Kurt to know the leadership approach to adopt.
Explanation:
a) Culture is the way of life of a people. According to Hofstede (2001), "Culture is the collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one group or category of people from others". It is the accepted practices for handling group situations that evolve over time. Culture impact relationships, judgements, and achievements. They are not easily changed.
b) According to Schein, (2004) "Organizational cultural assumptions are usually “known,” but are not discussed, nor are they written or easily found." You will find unconscious thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, and feelings that have shaped practices in the organization. For a change to be effectiveness, a study of the underlying assumptions becomes necessary to make room for gradual improvements.

Using evidence from the text, explain what “dance” symbolizes in the poem and how this symbolism affects the tone of the poem.
Answer:
In the poem "Dance Mama Dance" the word dance symbolizes happiness.
Explanation:
The poem is related by someone who sees how his mother has tried to give everything to him and his brothers.
Let's look at this analysis with evidence from the poem:
She played the role of father: "I saw you raise five of us by yourself with a father nowhere in sight." She worked hard to support the family: "I saw you limp home late at night after a long day’s work with sores on your feet" She kept the family together despite everything: "I saw you hold our home together like a foundation that would never crumble."And as these we can find examples throughout the poem.
But something that this person has never seen is his mother being happy. This is expressed by the word "dance".
The tone with which he constantly repeats the word dance makes us feel that he is saying to the mother "Be happy, Mom! Be happy!" .
"And I say Dance Mama Dance
Break the floodgates of countless uncried tears
And Dance Mama Dance
For all the nights you slept alone
with no warm arms to hold you
Dance Mama Dance
For all the dreams that you forgot so we could make it through the day "
In these lines we can see how the mother has suffered and cried and what her children want is to see her smile and be happy.

B. Chavez used similar nonviolent tactics that he saw Martin Luther King, Jr. and
Mahatma Gandhi employ to challenge injustice.
C. Chavez felt moved to join the labor rights movement after seeing Martin Luther
King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi's contributions to it.
D. Chavez eventually moved from labor rights activism to civil rights activism due to
the inspiration of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi.
Answer: B. Chavez used similar nonviolent tactics that he saw Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi employ to challenge injustice.
Explanation:
Cesar Chavez was a prominent labor rights leader who was the founding president of the United Farm Workers and he led a California Grape Strike from 1965 - 1970.
Influenced by the Nonviolent methods employed by Gandhi and the Southern Civil Rights movement under Martin Luther King Jr, he refused to resort to violent means when campaigning for the rights of farmers even though the owners of these farms sometimes did.
Indeed, so much was he committed to the cause that when some of his followers started leaning towards violence, he embarked on a 25 day fast that saw him lose 35 pounds.
As a result of this, his followers were so moved that they halted all talk of violence.

Which statement best explains how the structure of this text
supports Woolf's purpose?
There was an enormous body of masculine opinion to the
effect that nothing could be expected of women intellectually.
Even if her father did not read out loud these opinions, any
girl could read them for herself; and the reading, even in the
nineteenth century, must have lowered her vitality, and told
profoundly upon her work. There would always have been
that assertion—you cannot do this, you are incapable of
doing that-to protest against, to overcome. Probably for a
novelist this germ is no longer of much effect; for there have
been women novelists of merit. But for painters it must still
have some sting in it; and for musicians, I imagine, is even
now active and poisonous in the extreme. The woman
composer stands where the actress stood in the time of
Shakespeare.
A. The compare-contrast structure helps the reader
understand how women artists in a variety of disciplines
have been affected by cultural norms.
B. The cause-effect structure supports the point of view that
men, particularly fathers, are often the source of young
women's oppression.
C. The problem-solution structure supports the point of view
that conditions for women artists in most disciplines have
improved dramatically,
D. The chronological structure illustrates the pressures
discouraging women artists from pursuing their passions
from youth to adulthood.
Answer:
A. The compare-contrast structure helps the reader
understand how women artists in a variety of disciplines
have been affected by cultural norms.
Explanation:
From the passage, the compare-contrast structure supports Woolf's purpose by outlining the opinion of women's intellect in the 19th century and how it still affects women artists up till the 21st century.
The writer admits that this notion of women having little to offer did not have great effect of female novelists because there has been quite a good number of women novelists. But, for other artistic disciplines, women still take second stage, like the women painters, the women composers, etc.

O
A. Using pathos to support claims
B. Challenging established ideas
C. Synthesizing multiple claims

Final answer:
Asking clarifying questions is not a strong discussion technique.
Explanation:
The activity that is not a strong discussion technique is asking clarifying questions. While asking clarifying questions is important for understanding and gathering information, it is not considered a strong discussion technique because it does not directly contribute to the depth and quality of the discussion. Strong discussion techniques include using pathos to support claims, challenging established ideas, and synthesizing multiple claims.

What is Anne’s nightmare about and how do the various reactions of the Annex members reveal their perspectives on Anne?
Answer:
Anne's nightmares were about Nazi soldiers taking her away. Annex members' reactions range from understanding to anger and fear.
Explanation:
While they were in the dark and in silence, Anne begins to have a nightmare. This causes her to start screaming alerting everyone.
Even though Anne didn't want to tell her what her nightmare was about, while she was asleep, she was screaming: "No! No! Don't ... don't take me!", That gives us a clue that Anne was dreaming about Nazi soldiers trying to take her away.
Some Annex members were sympathetic to Anne and tried to calm her down. But some were also angry and even afraid that someone outside the group could hear Anne's screams and that would put them in danger.
Answer:
Anne has a nightmare in which she is being captured by the Nazis. Mr. Dussel doesn't care about her well-being, he complains about not being able to sleep because of her, he refers to Anne as a child and says that it was unfortunate that she wasn't being murdered. All of this shows that he saw her as an annoying child that should be dealt with. On the other hand Mrs. Frank was trying to comfort her after having a nightmare, this demonstrates her love for Anne and how she cares about her.

Quer visited our class today. Ms. Thayer is our town's police chief.
1. Ms. Thayer visited our class today
oko about KODO Ono:
Answer:
Ms. Thayer, our town's police chief, visited our class today.
Final answer:
To combine two sentences using an appositive, take the essential information from one sentence and rephrase it to add detail to a noun in the other sentence. In this case, 'Ms. Thayer, our town's police chief, visited our class today.' is the combined sentence using the appositive 'our town's police chief'.
Explanation:
To combine two sentences using an appositive, one can rephrase a part of one sentence to provide additional details about a noun or pronoun in the other sentence. In this case, the second sentence 'Ms. Thayer is our town's police chief.' provides additional information about 'Ms. Thayer', who is mentioned in the first sentence.
By turning the second sentence into an appositive phrase and placing it immediately after the noun it renames, we can create a more cohesive and informative sentence. Therefore, the two sentences 'Quer visited our class today. Ms. Thayer is our town's police chief.' This can be combined using an appositive to form the following sentence: Ms. Thayer, our town's police chief, visited our class today.

Develop your ideas by analyzing specific details from the passage. Also be careful to include a
clear claim and to respond to at least one counterclaim.
Answer:
The main purpose of this passage is that despite the cultural and race change, human beings are all similar. We all breath oxygen and have blood flowing through our bodies. Some of us might look different or talk differently but at the end of the day we are all humans. People were surprised when Mukherji spoke English to a British female simply because he was Indian. "Oh, how I wish to speak to him?" Could I withstand such an appeal? I rose and . . . asked— "Did you speak to me, young lady?" . . . The young lady soon got over her bashfulness, . . . expressed her astonishment at my knowledge of English”. People at first viewed Makhijani as very distinguishable because of his appearance and past actions that people of his race did. But then people viewed him as a normal person because he was able to speak English. Explanation: Hope this helped!
Final answer:
The main purpose of T. N. Mukharji's 'A Visit to Europe' is to share his observations and experiences in Europe, providing a comparative perspective with Indian culture. His main claim centers around the noteworthy characteristics of European societies, supported by evidence from his travels. The essay is reflective and informative, aimed at an audience interested in cross-cultural insights.
Explanation:
The main purpose of the passage A Visit to Europe by T. N. Mukharji is to detail the author's experiences and observations while traveling through Europe, and often, to offer a comparison between European and Indian life during his time. Mukharji's essay is a reflective piece that seeks to share insights gained through his travels, possibly enlightening or informing his audience of the nuances of European society.
The author's main claim in the essay is that European societies possess certain qualities or characteristics that are noteworthy, and these experiences provide valuable lessons or contrasts with Indian culture. Mukharji provides his narrative with sufficient examples and contextual information, aiding the reader's understanding and making his travelogue informative and engaging. However, without access to the full essay, we cannot provide a definitive answer to whether the author presents counterarguments or a course of action within his argument.
When writers like Mukharji articulate a main claim, they often support it with evidence and background information. In this case, Mukharji could use specific observations from his travels—such as social customs, economic practices, or political structures—as evidence, while providing historical or cultural background information to help the reader understand the context of his experiences.

Explanation:
i just found it on quizlet and it was correct
Final answer:
Couplets in poetry, such as in "To My Dear Loving Husband" and "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty", serve to link lines together through rhyme, adding structure, rhythm, and cohesion to the poems.
Explanation:
The effect of couplets in poetry is multifaceted. In "To My Dear Loving Husband" and "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty", the couplets contribute to the poems by creating a structured and rhythmic quality. The correct answer to the student's question is D. They allow a poet to link lines of poetry together using sound. This rhyme scheme adds cohesion to the poems and can emphasize the relationship between ideas or themes by pairing lines.
For example, heroic couplets, often used in the 17th and 18th centuries, are written in iambic pentameter and typically feature a formal, regular quality due to their balanced and rhyming nature. This can be seen in the couplets of Alexander Pope's "An Essay on Criticism". Couplet rhymes like those in Shakespeare's sonnets or John Keats's works also serve to link thoughts and create a harmonious flowing effect, making the poems memorable and impactful.

Explanation:
Standing on the smooth sandy BEACH at the east end of the pond, in a calm September afternoon, when a slight haze makes the opposite shore-line indistinct, I have seen whence came the expression, "the glassy surface of a lake."
We were in Hawaii and pretty mellowed out on one of those perfect beach nights, watching the moon dance on the incoming surf.
It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again. And this was the way life was forever on the planet Venus, and this was the schoolroom of the children of the rocket men and women who had come to a raining world to set up civilization and live out their lives.
A.
first-person point of view
B.
second-person point of view
C.
third-person limited point of view
D.
third-person omniscient point of view
The excerpt is narrated from a third-person limited point of view, focusing on rain on Venus without insight into all characters' thoughts.
The excerpt provided is narrated in a third-person limited point of view, as the narrator offers detailed imagery and description of the setting and events on Venus without delving into the thoughts and feelings of all characters. There is a focus on the relentless rain and its effects on the children and the attempts at building a civilization but without providing insight into every character's thoughts, which signifies that it is not an omniscient perspective. The writing details the mood through its descriptive language, painting the rain in both a beautiful and destructive light, thereby influencing the reader's perception of the atmosphere and the world the characters inhabit.
