Felix is conducting research about the impact of Muhammad Ali on the intersection of social justice and sports. His sources to support his claim that Ali’s use of his sports platform to speak out for social justice had a positive and powerful effect. Felix has collected 15 sources. Based on his notes, all the sources explore and support athletes who use their platforms to highlight social injustice, speak positively of Ali’s social justice work, and reveal the positives of using sports to raise awareness. What type of bias is Felix demonstrating? Explain your reasoning in a few sentences.

Answers

Answer: Confirmation bias

Explanation:

If all the sources Felix has collected support his claim, it means that he has ignored any accounts that might contradict his claim.

Confirmation bias refers to the inclination to only consider the information that supports the claim one wants to defend while avoiding the information that could invalidate it.

To ensure his research is not biased, Felix should acknowledge sources that contradict his claim.

Answer:

confirmation bias

Explanation:

Felix is demonstrating confirmation bias. Confirmation bias is when an author references sources that confirm pre-existing views and beliefs. Felix believes that there is a place for social justice in sports, as demonstrated by Muhammad Ali. He chooses to present only sources that support this belief. This choice can negatively impact his research paper as he does not present and refute alternate viewpoints, which would have added to his credibility on the subject. Instead, his credibility is weakened by only presenting biased information supported by one-sided sources.

iii) Tom.............. at his sister for saying the wrong thing to his boss.
( glared, gazed, peeped)

Answers

Answer:

‘Shh! Don't tell anyone', she whispered.

The answer should be whispered because the speaker said “shh” which implies a private conversation at a minimal volume

Billy tiptoed up the stairs so as not to wake his parents up.

Whispered would be the best verb to insert in the sentence because tiptoeing is very silent and would not disturb his sleeping parents.

Tom glared at his sister for saying the wrong thing to his boss.

The best choice would be glared because Tom would be unhappy and express a negative action towards the look he gave his sister for saying the wrong this to his boss.

Global warming resulting from greenhouse gases is a serious issue that demands immediate action. Throughout the world, we can already see the significant affects of global warming on people and natural habitats.

Pick the evidence that best supports the author’s claim?

A. Scientists have studied global warming for years, and they largely agree that the climate is changing. Scientists can drill core samples in Antarctic ice and study the carbon dioxide in these samples to see how greenhouse gases have risen in our atmosphere. They can also measure how quickly the ocean is rising year after year.

B. Unfortunately, many polls show that global warming is not a major concern among large portions of the population. Therefore, it is imperative that we work together to raise people’s consciousness of this important issue. If we work together, we can make global warming an issue that everyone cares about.

C. I’ve noticed that summers are warmer and longer. Trees in my neighborhood bloom two to three weeks earlier than they used to when I was growing up. Sometimes, we barely get any snow in winter, which means we can longer go skiing or sledding.

D. Many meteorologists suggest that the increased severity of hurricanes, tornadoes and drought is a direct result of global warming. Sea levels are increasing as polar ice caps melt. Towns in the arctic that were built on permafrost are sinking as the permafrost melts.

Yes, the speaker was correct.

While it may sound awkward, the speaker saying “as just as fair” is actually correct.

When the speaker says “just,” it isn’t used as a typo or some kind of strange wording.

It means that this is “as just as fair.” The word “just” in this section means that it is “based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair.” Basically, the word “just” is being used both compare and contrast to the word “fair.”

4. Romela drinks 2 1/2 L of
water in a day. How many
milliliters of water dow does she
drink all day?

Answers

Answer:

2500 milliliters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Volume of water = 2½ or 2.5 Litres

To find the volume of water Romela drinks in millimeters;

In this exercise, we would have to convert the volume of water Romela drank (in litres) to its equivalent value in millimeters.

Conversion:

1 liter = 1000 milliliters

2 liters = 2 * 1000 = 2000 milliliters

2.5 liters = 2.5 * 1000 = 2500 milliliters

3 liters = 3 * 1000 = 3000 milliliters

Therefore, the volume of water Romela drank in millimeters is 2500.
