<p>I said added credibility to because, in my opinion, the passage implied that we humans have an innate idea about dualism, but it was not until Descartes came along that the actual concept was given credibility through his writings.
I took dual enrollment philosophy and we spent around a week just talking about the fact that Descartes was the first person to actually write on the subject: “I think therefore I am.”</p>
<p>So.. does anyone want to convince me why the vaccine one is “back up an assertion?”</p>
<p>I think it was erroneous because it says without knowing. The name was Dr. S.D.___ so he was not unsure, he was assuming it was a guy. So he was not unsure about the gender, he was sure about the wrong gender…</p>
<p>Thats how I interpreted it.</p>
<p>echelon
Isosceles triangle with 40 degree angle give, and the base angles = 2x, x = 35.
i dunno what that is but what i was talking about was three lines intersecting each other where you had to find angleSRT or seomthing remmebeR?</p>
<p>nowhere in the passage does it say people think vaccines are natural, at most it would be people thinking disease is unnatural.</p>
<p>but for that erroneous question, because admirer was sure that it was the wrong gender, looking from the viewpoint of the admirer, it would not have been erroneous, it would have been prudent. i rmr the sentence being worded so the answer would have been regarding the viewpoint of the admirer</p>
<p>The admirer truly thought she was a “he”, especially when it said “sent a mustache cup to thank “him” for his efforts”. There’s nothing really prudent about sending a mustache cup - thats clearly for men only…if it were some unisex gift, that might be different…</p>
<p>“x < root (x+1) < root x + 1” could someone elucidate</p>
<p>I dont think so. Anyway, prudent means “wisdom or judiciousness”. Sending a mustache box is neither. You are thinking too much, njnik.</p>
<p>Ok but how does “vaccine ain’t” support the author’s assertion that not all natural things are good?</p>
<p>Oh yeah what does the author regard as an ideal court system?</p>
<p>I don’t think the answer choice was referring to his theory about what is natural, it was referring to an assertion he made a few lines before he said the Vaccine thing. I can’t remember what he said there though.</p>
<p>Ideal court system, one that uncovers truth, not set up strong defenses on either side</p>
<p>Elucidate: for any number k, list the expression from least to greatest</p>
<p>k, sqrt(k^2+1), sqrt(k) + 1
I picked 2
2, 2.23, 2.41</p>
<p>where there any other restrictions? I choose 9, which clearly gives a different answer</p>
<p>Maybe, k>0, i dont remember</p>
<p>I’m not sure if the passage said anything about “not all natural things being good”, it was rather addressing the conception that “if it is not natural it is not good.”</p>
<p>The answer choice said something along the lines of:
A colloquial statement to back up an assertion.</p>
<p>The ain’t is obviously colloquial.
The statement buttresses her idea that some things that are not natural are indeed good- for example vaccines.</p>
<p>Yea idk i remembered the question different K>0. k, square root(K), square root(K) +1</p>
