OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hm alright!! (: nother one!! (: Read the source passage (1) below and then determine if it is being quoted, summarized, or paraphrased in the second passage (2): 1) Computers play a positive role in education. One important benefit of computers in education is that students can do Internet research for all subjects and types of assignments. Never before has so much information been available at the click of a mouse. Computers are also useful for doing schoolwork and preparing assignments. Word processing programs help with writing, especially when students learn to take advantage of grammar- and spell-checking devices. Another benefit is that students have 24-hour access to library materials and can complete assignments at any time or from any location with computer access. Finally, parents and students can track many school matters such as daily assignments, test schedules, grades, attendance, announcements, and communications with teachers. Computers have changed education forever (Smith 22). (2) Computers give students many advantages. They include using the Internet for research, using word processing programs for homework and writing, having anytime-anywhere access for doing work, and keeping up with school progress and activities (Smith 22). A. The source passage is being quoted. B. The source passage is being summarized. C. The source passage is being paraphrased. D. None of the above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is B. Since when you qoute, you are just repeating the same thing being said. When you paraphrase, you are just restating the same thing. but when you summarize, you are actually condensing the whole idea into a simpler one. so, its a summary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhh okay (: Thanks!! Next one... Read the source passage (1) below and then determine if it is being quoted, summarized, or paraphrased in the second passage (2): 1) Computers play a positive role in education.

Finally, parents and students can track many school matters such as daily assignments, test schedules, grades, attendance, announcements, and communications with teachers. Computers have changed education forever (Smith 22). (2) Computers give students many advantages. The Internet is a necessity for conducting research for all courses and all kinds of schoolwork. Word processing software is a useful tool for homework and other writing assignments such as essays. When students need to do work, they are not confined to a specific location because computers can be used anywhere and at anytime. Before computers, parents and students usually had to be at school to get necessary information, but now they can use computers to keep up with progress and talk to teachers. Computers are a welcome change (Smith 22). A. The source passage is being quoted. B. The source passage is being summarized. C. The source passage is being paraphrased. D. None of the above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The best choice is C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good research is based on facts. B. You'll love learning about research papers. C. Technical writing is necessary for all professions. D. Using the discussion board with your classmates is the best way to learn.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi ms. bio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now this one is a bit tricky, If it is based on a context the answer would have been heavily based on that context(context clues will give you the answer) if its not then I would have to answer C.( urggghhhhh... I'd also consider A)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay the final answer is A (c. actually poses an opinion) ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi pat! how's ur day?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha okay (: So A!! wait... i PUT A and they said i was wrong!!! >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really? ah then probably the answer is C. I dont think B or D is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya me either!! Okay thanks (: Hmm next one sorry i got distracted by the chat.. im a little ADHD... :P True or False: If a domain name has .edu in it, it means it is from a college or universtiy and anything that is found there can probably be trusted. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, your teacher asks vague questions. This one doesn't really make sense to me (no wonder I shifted to Biology) Okay, my answer is true..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The probably word just confuses me ^_^ but I think its true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha yea same here!! :D here i think true Some opinions that cannot be proven still have the nearly the same validity as facts because they are clear, logical conclusions based on facts. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now this one is false, opinions are always subject to scrutiny while facts are established already as acceptable knowledge. ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha ohhhh.... ^_^ go figure (: Which of the following Internet sites would be the best source of information for a research paper or project? A. a site produced by a child for fun B. an unbiased site that is updated frequently C. a site with an obvious bias D. a "vanity" site

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okie dokie! Opinions cannot be proven conclusively. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true, opinion is always subjective.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thought so (: You are helping wonders!! What does a tilde symbol (~) usually mean at the beginning of a section of a web address? A. The information in this section has been checked and verified by factcheck.com. B. It is a sign that the site is a personal web site and not an official university web site. C. The site is probably incorrect and inaccurate. D. The organization Hatewatch.org has checked the site and found it inaccurate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i have like a C in English and i have to get it up to a B by the end of today and you have no idea how much you are helping me!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B. The tilde sign just indicates current home directory.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhhh i see (: Here i have to attach a file for this one ;P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What information is represented on this graphic aid? (Choose all that apply.) A. Flying B. Mass-specific cost of transport C. Running D. Swimming Select all that apply Wouldnt it be A, C, and D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the medal!!<3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welcome!! you deserved it!! (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't like graphs, but I think your answer is ok...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I was taking the test, and the teacher is present I'd probably ask her to interpret the graph :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha yea the teacher isnt present... i do online school >.< At least for this semester ;P Hmm alright then (: Once solid, verifiable proof is offered in support of a fact, only people who refuse to accept reality will dispute it. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

again, vague question I would probably answer true. In the Scientific World no one refuses to accept a fact once it has been fully established. Well, it will be refuted once it becomes obsolete. (that was an opinion, subjectively stated ^_^)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.. ya i get that thanks!!!! (: haha yea that was funnay xD I got this one wrong too,... i just must not have good common knowledge ^_^ Which statement is a valid opinion? A. Fords are not comfortable to sit in. B. Buicks are the ugliest cars. C. Toyotas are reliable cars. D. Jaguars are sleeker than Porches.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, I asked my friend here and he answered A...my answer was C... Don't really know which one ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I answered A and got it wrong.... so i am gonna say C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its C...My professor actually told me that in taking tests, when you don't have any idea with the question always go for the letter C.. She said that there is a higher percentage of getting the correct answer (has got to do with psychology)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here this one requires an attachment as well: What type of graphic aid is this? A. Chart B. Circle graph C. Line graph D. Table

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its what we call the power of C! heheh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha really? (: Thats pretty frickin awesome!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it could possibly be something else.. i was thinking its too easy.. must be a trick...lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, its circle graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Compare the source passage (1) below to the second passage. Which answer best explains why the second passage is not a summary? (1)Computers play a positive role in education. One important benefit of computers in education is that students can do Internet research for all subjects and types of assignments. Never before has so much information been available at the click of a mouse. Computers are also useful for doing schoolwork and preparing assignments.

They include using the Internet for research, using word processing programs for homework and writing, having anytime-anywhere access for doing work, and keeping up with school progress and activities. Most kids just use the computer to play video games, though, so it is debatable whether computers actually play a positive role in education (Smith 22). A. The second passage is not a summary because it leaves out too many details from the source passage. B. The second passage is not a summary because it contains opinions that are not attributable to the source passage's author. C. The second passage is not a summary because it is actually a paraphrase.
