	In the following short passage, pick out the transitional words and phrases that are used to provide cohesion. "Margaret Fuller often passes in one breath from forcible reasoning to dreamy vagueness; moreover, her unusually varied culture gives her great command of illustration. Mary Wollstonecraft, on the other hand, is nothing if not rational; she has no erudition, and her grave pages are lit up by no ray of fancy."

	Select the statement that best expresses the main idea. "People often refer to taxes in terms of their being much too high. In reality, they are probably even higher than you think, because in addition to the federal income tax we are now studying, there are many other Federal, State, and local taxes, including sales taxes, inheritance taxes, state income taxes, personal property taxes, real estate taxes, and others. These are just some of the most obvious ones."
		
	
	The federal, state and local taxes.
	
	Inheritance taxes and real estate taxes are unfair.
	
	Taxes are much too high.
	
	Some taxes are hidden.
	 
	We pay more taxes than we may realize.

	According to Beale (2007), this technique is used when readers search for key words or ideas. In most cases, readers know what they are looking for, since they are usually concentrating on finding a particular answer.

	Pontos: 1,0  / 1,0
	According to your studies, which of the following is not a proof reading technique?
		
	 
	Use the computer¿s spell check ¿ remember, however, that a spell check will catch form if you mean from, to if you mean too, or except if you mean accept.
	
	Let it sit - for a day or a weekend. When the document is cold, we are more  objective about their own writing.
	
	Use peer evaluations - others will see the errors we miss.
	
	    
Read it aloud - sometimes we can hear errors.
	
	Read it backwards - then you read words out of context. You cannot anticipate the next word.

	Pontos: 0,0  / 1,0
	According to your studies, which of the following is not a problem caused by emails?
		
	
	If we write something that has grammatical or mathematical errors, we can check these for correctness.
	 
	Email allows the writer and reader(s) to chat with each other online.
	
	Email can be sent at the push of a button. This speed may hinder our revision.
	
	If we write something that might be offensive, we can set the memo or letter aside for awhile.
	 
	Instantaneous communication hinders the writer¿s ability to doublecheck facts, effectively proofread text, and achieve the correct tone.

NOW A BLOCKBUSTER MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY CLINT EASTWOOD --NOMINATED FOR SIX ACADEMY AWARDS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE
From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him ''The Legend''; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan (''the devil'') and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war - including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates - and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle's masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.

"National Security Justifies Censorship" 
by Roger S. Thomas
Introduction
        The article "National Security Justifies Censorship" by Elmo R. Zumwalt and James G. Zumwalt, appears in Censorship, a book in the Opposing Viewpoints Series.  The article asserts that information that is secret and vital to the security of the nation should not be released to the press.  The arguments made by Zumwalt Senior and Junior are summarized below.
Brief analysis
        Although many journalists contend that the First Amendment guarantees unrestricted printing freedom, the authors believe the press has gained more power than the framers of the Constitution foresaw and therefore neglected to install safe guards that would protect national security.   According to the authors, the power of the media has gone far past what the constitutional framers expected; consequently, several acts since the writing of the Constitution have been implemented to deal with the lack of protection regarding national security.  The authors continue to affirm that even though significant risk exists when confidential information is released to the press, this danger has remained unresolved by the courts.
          The authors cite an example to prove this point. The CIA during the Reagan administration recognized Muhamar Quadaffi as a known terrorist and a potential threat to national security in a classified document.  The Washington Post somehow had the document disclosed to them, and they soon published the information.  Several months after the operation had been abandoned, the CIA found Quadaffi responsible for the bombing of a West Berlin discotheque. Military action had to be taken because of the earlier release of the classified document.  The operation incurred military casualties.
        The authors then offer a two-part solution: (1) make the publication of classified information a punishable offense, and (2) incorporate a "code of ethics" into media guidelines that safeguards national security.  The paper ends by discussing how ethics are the responsibility of good journalism.
Conclusion
            Elmo R. Zumwalt and James G. Zumwalt assert that the media are overpowered and the national security is underprotected.  They believe that the government and the media must take steps to assure a disaster does not occur.

TOPIC: THIS HOUSE WOULD BAN 'HOMEWORK':
Homework is a task (often called an assignment) set by teachers for students to do outside normal lessons - usually at home in the evening. Schools have been setting homework in developed countries for over a century, but until the past few decades usually only older students had to do it. More recently younger students have also been given homework by their primary or elementary schools. In England the government does not make schools give
homework but it does set guidelines. Five year olds are expected to do an hour a week, increasing to three hours a week at 11 and ten hours or more a week at 16. American studies report the amount of homework being set for younger students doubling over the past twenty-five years or so, although some doubt these findings.
Speaker 01 - Group A: Homework has little educational worth and adds nothing to the time spent in school. Some schools and some countries don't bother with homework at all, and their results do not seem to suffer from it. Studies show that homework adds nothing to standardised test scores for primary/ elementary pupils.
Speaker 02 - Group B: I strognly disagree with you. In our point of view, ...

	Read the alternative below and choose the one that correctly defines SEMINAR.
		
	
	It is a conference for researchers (not necessarily academics) to present and discuss their work. Together with academic or scientific journals, it provides  an important channel for exchange of information between researchers.
	 
	It is a form of academic instruction, either at an academic institution or offered by a commercial or professional organization. It has the function of bringing together small groups for recurring meetings, focusing each time on some particular subject, in which everyone present is requested to participate. 
 
	
	All of its members are expected to attend plenary sessions. It is a session of a conference which all members of all parties are to attend. Such a session may include a broad range of content, from keynotes to panel discussions, and is not necessarily related to a specific style of presentation or deliberative process.
	 
	In experts level it is the presentation of research information, usually peer-reviewed work in the form of a paper poster that conference participants may view. It is an event at which many such posters are presented. They  are particularly prominent at scientific conferences such as medical congresses.
	
	The term has been used in the teaching profession to describe when information is summarized. This often encourages class participation.
