Title: Difficulties in communication can arise even between two people who ostensibly speak the same ... Post by: jihuygu on Feb 25, 2018 Difficulties in communication can arise even between two people who ostensibly
speak the same language. Although both New Yorkers and Londoners speak English, there are enough differences between American English and British English to cause communication miscues. Speakers of English on opposite sides of the Atlantic often use different words to refer to the same thing. To illustrate, Londoners put their trash in a dustbin, not a garbage can; they take a lift, not an elevator; and they live in flats, not apartments. To further complicate matters, the same word used in England and the United States can convey very different meanings. For example, in England the word homely (as in the statement I think your wife is very homely) means warm and friendly, not plain or ugly; for the British, the phrase to table a motion means to give an item a prominent place on the agenda rather than to postpone taking action on an item, as it means in the United States; and a rubber in British English is an eraser, not a condom. These are just some of the linguistic pitfalls that North Americans and Brits may encounter when they attempt to communicate using their own versions of the same language. A student who decides that the author is effectively comparing and contrasting. What level is the student operating on? a. Level 1: Remembering b. Level 2: Understanding c. Level 3: Applying d. Level 4: Analyzing e. Level 5: Evaluating Ques. 2 Words and phrases such as should, must, and ought to are common when the purpose of the composition is to __________.

A student recalls that speakers of British English refer to elevators as lifts. On what level is the student operating? a. Level 1: Remembering b. Level 2: Understanding c. Level 3: Applying d. Level 4: Analyzing e. Level 5: Evaluating Ques. 4 Information that readers already have about a topic is called ____________. Fill in the blank(s) with correct word Ques. 5 King Hieron of ancient Syracuse suspected that a goldsmith had not made his crown of pure gold as instructed. He asked the scientist Archimedes to find out the truth without damaging the crown. Archimedes wasn't sure how to do this at first, but one day, while at the public baths, he noticed that the deeper he descended into the bathtub, the more water flowed over the edge. He suddenly realized that he could solve the problem of the king's crown. He was so excited by his discovery that he ran naked through the street, shouting Eureka Eureka a Greek word which means I've found it. Archimedes, the greatest scientist and mathematician of antiquity, immersed the crown in a container that was completely full of water and collected the water that overflowed. When he placed a lump of pure gold equal to the weight of the crown in the water, a lesser amount of water overflowed. Thus Archimedes concluded that the goldsmith had substituted some gold with a metal of lesser weight, such as silver. A student reads the story and is able to tell her professor that the Greek word Eureka means, I have found it. a. Level 1: Remembering b. Level 2: Understanding c. Level 3: Applying d. Level 4: Analyzing e. Level 5: Evaluating Ques. 6 The purpose of textbooks and assembly instructions is mostly to __________.

A student of physics tries to determine whether water could be a used not just on a gold crown, but on all kinds of objects. On what level is the student working? a. Level 2: Understanding b.
