Use the Fundamental Counting Principle to solve. In the Cambr idge En cyclopedia of Language (Cambridge University Press, 1987), author David Crystal presents five sentences that make a reasonable paragraph regardless of their order. The sentences are as follows: - Mark had told him about the foxes. - John look ed out of the window. - Could it be a fox? - However , nobody had seen one for months. - He thought he saw a shape in the bushes. In how many different orders can the five sentences be arranged ?

Proofread the following sentences. Draw a line through each misspelled or misused word, and write the correct spelling in the space above it. If a sentence contains no spelling errors, write $C$ before the item number.

Example 1. There were several students in class who $\cancel{\text{planed}}$ (planned) to do $\cancel{\text{they're}}$ (their) reports on Isaac Bashevis Singer.

Description helps readers visualize what is happening in a story. Notice the vivid description in this passage from "An Astrologer's Day": "The astrologer caught a glimpse of [the stranger's] face by the matchlight. There was a pause as cars hooted on the road, jutka drivers swore at their horses and the babble of the crowd agitated the semidarkness of the park." Descriptive language can help bring a character to life. Description also can help build suspense or provide dues about what might. happen next.

What details and techniques does Narayan use to describe the astrologer?

Recall, in our discussion of the Church–Turing thesis, that we introduced the language $D=\{\langle p\rangle | p$ is a polynomial in several variables having an integral root}. We stated, but didn’t prove, that D is undecidable. In this problem, you are to prove a different property of D-namely, that D is NP-hard. A problem is NP-hard if all problems in NP are polynomial time reducible to it, even though it may not be in NP itself. So you must show that all problems in NP are polynomial time reducible to D.

An author conveys tone through elements of the story such as word choice, punctuation, sentence structure, and figures of speech. For example, short, clipped sentences can create a fast-paced or urgent tone. The use of slang and informal language can create a carefree or light tone. Figures of speech, depending on their content and meaning, can show everything from despair to humor.

What words would you use to describe the babysitter's attitude toward Felicia? What specific details help create this attitude, or tone?

Your mail-order company advertises that it ships 90% of its orders within three working days. You select an SRS of 100 of the 5000 orders received in the past week for an audit. The audit reveals that 86 of these orders were shipped on time.

A critic says, "Aha! You claim 90%, but in your sample, the on-time percentage is only 86%. So the 90% claim is wrong." Explain in simple language why your probability calculation in the previous part shows that the result of the sample does not refute the 90% claim.

On the line provided, identify the sentence by its purpose, as declarative, imperative, interrogative, or exclamatory. Some sentences also contain a subordinate clause. Underline the clause, or, if the sentence has no subordinate clause, write no clause on the line provided. Example 1. Many words in our language have histories $\underline{\text{that are interesting to know.}}$

$$\underline{\text{dec.}}$$

Reenactors re-creating historical battles and former ways of life use this word to describe people whose costumes are not historically accurate.________

Because many immigrants come to the United States with little money they often are willing to take risks that can result in high incomes. However, is this enough to overcome language and culture difficulties?

a. Is there sufficient evidence to infer that Americans born in the United States (BORN: 1 = In the United States, 2 = Elsewhere) have higher incomes than those born elsewhere (RINCOME)?

b. Are the required conditions satisfied? Explain.

c. If the required conditions are not satisfied what other technique can be used to answer the question?

Consider the differential equation $d y / d t=2 \sqrt{|y|}$. (a) Show that the function $y(t)=0$ for all $t$ is an equilibrium solution. (b) Find all solutions. [Hint: Consider the cases $y>0$ and $y<0$ separately. Then you need to define the solutions using language like " $y(t)=\ldots$ when $t \leq 0$ and $y(t)=\ldots$ when $t>0$. .' (c) Why doesn't this differential equation contradict the Uniqueness Theorem? (d) What does HPGSolver do with this equation?

An author's style affects how a reader responds to a piece of writing. Long sentences are often characteristic of a fluid, poetic style that connects many ideas. Simple word choice can reflect the voice of the narrator or can be a way to communicate ideas in an easy-to-understand manner. Use of imagery and figurative language is a common technique of poetic writers. Style can also be a clue to the author's purpose.

What do you think might be McCourt's purpose in writing this piece? What elements of McCourt's style hint at this purpose?

A college language class was chosen for a learning experiment. Using a list of 50 words, the experiment measured the rate of vocabulary memorization at different times during a continuous 5 -hour study session. The average rate of learning for the entire class was inversely proportional to the time spent studying and was given approximately by $V^{\prime}(t)=\frac{15}{t} \quad 1 \leq t \leq 5$ Find the area between the graph of $V^{\prime}$ and the t axis over the interval [2,4], and interpret the results.

The below statement corresponds to a numbered sentence in the passage. It contains a blank and is followed by four answer choices. Decide which choice fits best in the blank. The word or phrase that you choose must express roughly the same meaning as the italicized word in the passage. Write the letter of your choice on the answer line.
