You've probably seen it before. Someone is giving a speech, and another person stands near the speaker, mouthing the speaker's words for people who can read lips. In a graceful dance, his or her arms and hands visually repeat the speaker's words in signs. If the speech is broadcast on television, the signer is sometimes shown in a window at the corner of the screen. Audience members who are hard of hearing or deaf can understand the speech through the signs.
2
Deaf or hard-of-hearing people could also read the text of the speech, but it might not be available in writing. Besides, signing offers many advantages that reading cannot. Seeing the speaker, even if his or her words cannot be heard, can be important. The audience can observe the speaker's facial expressions and body language, which can change the meaning of the spoken words. The signer will often attempt to convey the speaker's tone or precise meaning with facial expressions that accompany the signs. For instance, when the speaker asks a question instead of making a statement, signers will raise their eyebrows, widen their eyes, and tilt their bodies forward to convey that what they are signing is a question.

Many different sign languages are used around the world. In the United States, most people use a system called American Sign Language (ASL). ASL is a complex, complete language, just like spoken English. ASL even has different "pronunciations" for certain words in different regions of the country. In ASL, some signs represent specific words. Touching one's fingers to the brim of an imaginary cap means "man." The sign was created when most men wore hats and would tip their hats when greeting someone.

However, most of ASL is based more on ideas than on words. For example, a person might hold both thumbs and index fingers at right angles and move both hands and arms apart. The person is indicating "big" or "large." The same sign would be used for a big man, a large amount of money, or a serious problem. When a person strokes an imaginary beard by moving a loose fist down from the chin, he or she is indicating "old." That same sign could describe an elderly person, an old car, or a story from long ago.

Many people believe in "total communication," which means saying words and signing them at the same time. A person might have only partial hearing loss, so he or she could hear some of the sounds the speaker makes. The speaker's lip movements, voice, signs, and facial expressions are like pieces of a puzzle. The theory is that total communication provides every possible means to get an idea across.
6
Not every word or idea in English has a sign. Proper names and other words that have no signs are often spelled out with the sign alphabet. Sometimes the letters of the sign alphabet are used as words. For example, the sign for T and the sign for V together mean "television." Just like "TV" spoken aloud, the two sign letters indicate the word. In other cases, the full name of a person or thing is spelled out because there is no simple way to communicate it. If a person's name is Tina, she could use the signs for T-I-N-A.
7
If you are not hard of hearing, why would you bother to learn sign language? For one thing, it will allow you to communicate with people who are hard of hearing or deaf. You can translate for them, helping them to understand others and be understood. Many people choose to make ASL translation their career. On an individual level, learning ASL will also help in forming friendships with deaf or hard-of-hearing people.
8
Sign language can be useful for other reasons, even among hearing people. You might be too far away to hear someone, but not too far away to see the person. A couple of gestures can send an important message. Suppose you are in a situation in which you couldn't speak out loud, like in a theater. You might want to send a message to a friend who is not right next to you. It would be rude to shout while the performance is going on, but you could always send a sign message. Sign language can benefit people who are deaf, partially deaf, or hearing.
Which is the central idea of the passage?
A.
Hearing people should learn ASL to assist hard-of-hearing or deaf people.
B.
It is easier for hard-of-hearing or deaf people to watch ASL than read a transcript.
C.
ASL is a language that hard-of-hearing or deaf people in America use to communicate.
D.
Hard-of-hearing or deaf people face many problems that ASL can help solve.

What are you afraid of?
When i was a child
This question was easy
I answered bugs, of darkness, of clowns
As i grew up my answers changed
Now as a teenager
I answer my grades, my friends, my future
When I am an adult
I might answer my life, my job, my family
But what I have always been afraid of
Was the great unknown
Things I have no idea how to face
Now when someone asks me
What I am afraid of?
I will answer
I do not know yet
Lines 136–152: What conflict arises between Mother and Mr. Weems? How is the conflict resolved, and how does this resolution affect Tom?
Answer and Explanation:
This question refers to the short story "The Deep," by Anthony Doerr. Tom, Mother, and Mr. Weems all live together. Tom has a serious heart condition, easily coughing blood and even fainting because of it. The doctor tells Mother Tom will live up to be 16, maybe 18 if he's lucky. Afraid for her son, Mother forbids Tom to do anything tiring or exciting.
One day, Tom is visited by a girl whom he likes. She gives him a jar full of tadpoles. Tom gets visibly excited about the whole thing, but his mother empties the jar angrily. This where the conflict between her and Mr. Weems arises. Mr. Weems tells her Tom needs to live his life, go outside, enjoy things. Keeping him alive like that was no good - what is the use of being alive if one cannot enjoy life at all?
The resolution of the conflict is convenient for Tom. His mother loosens her rules, and he begins to go out more and even to go exploring around with the girl. At the end of the story, Tom is 21, alive, and happy to have one more day to live.

Analyze a writers tone is his or her attitude toward a subject what is paines in lines 56-71 ? What persuasive and rhetorical techniques help convey this tone?
Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
According to the reading of your question, we can see that the author uses persuasive techniques related to something that is painful for him. In that case, we can consider that he uses pathos as a persuasive technique. This is because pathos is a resource that explores the emotion of the reader in relation to the topic addressed, this makes the reader sympathize with the author's words and intensifying the tone promoted in the text.

The pun makes the scene more humorous. So the option A is correct.
The pun makes a clever and amusing quip that is typically rather unexpected, adding to the hilarious ambiance. As all the characters find something to laugh about, this frequently results in a group chuckle and lightens the tone of the scenario.
This amusing response breaks the ice and can unite individuals in a setting. Additionally, it might give the impression that the characters are improvising their dialogue, which can be hilarious, especially when the characters have perfect timing as part of the humor. So the option A is correct.

Think of at least five ‘celebrities' who you would like to see in go in the Big Brother house to be filmed 24 hours a day and explain why you would you have picked these ‘contestants' to take part. (Just write one please if you can't do 5)
Answer:
I would like to see Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, Pierce Morgan, and Sharon Osborne. It would be really entertaining to see how these 'social media' enemies would actually behave when in the same space. Moreover, it would also be nice to see them try to survive with daily living without their team of 'helpers'.
Explanation:
Big Brother is an international reality television franchise that 'selects' personalities and confine them in an isolated residence, away from the outside world. These different individuals are kept in a single residence and recorded 24/7 through live television to see how they would endure and cope being kept with people they don't or hardly know.
Five celebrities that I would like to see go in the Big Brother house are Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, Pierce Morgan, and Sharon Osborne.
Considering their professions, being celebrities, and always in the public eye, it would be nice to see them actually do daily chores and try to survive without their 'team' of assistants. Moreover, with their contrasting opinions against each other, it would be nice to see how they will actually behave and act when with each other in a confined space.
can someone showms how to write gender based violence essay introduction
Answer:
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person because of their gender. Gender-based violence and violence against women are terms that are often used interchangeably as it has been widely acknowledged that most gender-based violence is inflicted on women and girls, by men.
GBV occurs as a result of normative role expectations and unequal power relationships between genders in society. Patriarchal power structures dominate in many societies, in which male leadership is seen as the norm, and men hold the majority of power.

15 Joyne is expecting to earn a return of 6% on an investment she recently purchased. If the risk-free rate is 2%, what risk premium is she anticipating on the investment? A 4% B C D 6% 3% 2% Points:
The risk premium anticipated on the investment is 4%.
Option (A) 4% is the correct answer
.Risk premium is the difference between the rate of return on a risky asset and the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate is the rate of return on a risk-free investment, such as a U.S. Treasury bond. The risk premium compensates investors for taking on the additional risk of investing in a risky asset.
Given data:
Expected return on investment = 6%
Risk-free rate = 2%
We need to find the risk premium anticipated on the investment.Risk premium is the excess return over the risk-free rate that investors require to compensate for the extra risk associated with the investment.
It can be calculated as follows:
Risk premium = Expected return - Risk-free rate
Risk premium = 6% - 2% = 4%
.Therefore, option (A) 4% is the correct answer.
