Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

its A! Chinese is written in columns instead of in horizontal lines. i guessed it on my K12 quiz and it was right hope you have a wonderful day!

Answer 2

The message that the figurative language conveys to the readers would be:

A). Chinese is written in columns instead of in horizontal lines.

Homesick

The figurative language informs the readers about the Chinese language that they are drafted using columns rather than horizontal lines.

The description of these words not moving on flat surfaces communicate that unlike in English, they are written via columns("drop-down cliffs").

This assists the readers in knowing the writing pattern of Chinese words and language.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Can anybody give me skills to put for this job interview

Answers

Answer:

What kind of job is this interview for?

Anyway this is how to write your interview  in the right order.

1. Organize and format.

Before you write, have a clear understanding of where your document will take you. Prepare to keep your entire message under one page, and plan to write a short, friendly introduction, followed by an announcement of your invitation, followed by the details of the meeting, and finally, a resource where your reader can obtain further information.

2. Begin with a greeting.

As you write your first interview letter, start by thanking your reader for showing interest in the job and the company. You can draw this message out or keep it contained within a single line of text, but your tone should imply one important detail: You know that your reader may have plenty of job search options and you appreciate the time and attention they’ve devoted to your enterprise. Something as simple as: “Thank you for submitting your resume and applying to join the Qualco Team!” Or: “Thank you for responding to a call from our recruiter!”

3. Deliver your invitation.

Whether your recipient accepts your invitation or not, it’s always nice to be invited to something, and an invitation is always (in some form) a gesture of generosity. At the same time, your invitation should be humble. You’re not issuing a summons or an imperious command. Don’t order your reader to report to the appointment and don’t act as though you’re offering a valuable gift. Simply allude to the mutual benefit of a potential relationship.

Here’s an example of a DO: “Your background is impressive and your resume suggests an alignment with the needs of our open position, so we’d like to invite you in for an interview at our corporate office in Busy ton.”

Here’s an example of a DON’T: “We’re offering you a one-time-only opportunity to attend an interview with our management staff. We expect to see you in our corporate office where we will determine if you have what it takes to work for us.”

4. Provide clear instructions.

It’s considered polite to offer at least two potential meeting times so your guest can easily work the interview into their schedule. Offer two (or more) time slots, two potential days in which your interviewee can choose a time, or a suggested time that you leave open to renegotiation if your reader can’t make that appointment work.

While you do this, be clear. Don’t confuse your invitee. State the location of the interview session, complete with street address, so your reader can look up directions and transportation options. If you’ll be reaching out by phone, clarify which party will be expected to make the call—you or your invitee.

5. Ask for confirmation.

In a friendly and welcoming tone, ask your reader to contact you (or someone else) by email or phone to confirm that they’ll be attending the interview. Provide the contact addresses and appropriate hours in which this person will be available to respond to requests. Your simple message might sound like this: “You appear to be an excellent candidate for this position, so we sincerely hope you’ll consider this opportunity. If you have any further questions about the interview session, the position, or the company, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me using the contact information below. We look forward to hearing from you!”

6. Sign off politely and prepare to follow up.

Close your letter with a respectful sign-off and signature, complete with your own job title or role in the company. Provide contact information as promised by your earlier paragraph.

After you write a first interview letter and send it off, don’t simply assume that the candidate will take action without further prompting. If you don’t hear from your recipient within a few days, reach out to them again. If you’re truly interested in obtaining the best talent in the marketplace, don’t allow your message to slip through the cracks. Sometimes the best candidates are those who are busy or those who are are sifting through multiple offers, and these candidates may need prompting and follow-up.

Give a Summary that talks about the architecture in the story, "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortázar!
I give Brainliest!!

Answers

Answer:

The house, a very large mansion the pair inherited from their grandparents, is a large building divided in two living segments. At the entrance one enters a vestibule leading to the atrium, which consists of a living room, two bedrooms on either sides and, separated by a corridor, the kitchen and a bathroom. The second half of the house, entered through a massive oak door, contains the brother’s library, three other bedrooms and a dining room. Due to the disproportions between the surface of the residence and the daily needs of the two inhabitants, the second segment is entered only for cleaning purposes or for the occasional retrieving of a book from the library.

The monotony of domestic life ends abruptly when the brother hears distinct -yet dissimilar- sounds coming from the second section of the large house. Promptly closing the door, in order to keep whatever is there from coming through, the brother tells his sister that “They’ve taken over the back part.” Although saddened by the loss of part of their belongings, the circustamce appears to the two rather unremarkable, (“happened so simply and without fuss”), like being something they were already waiting, from entities they knew would have come.

my subjects have made a vow never to quit the kingdom, and they are too wise to break it. Ask me besides anything that you please."

Your friend thinks it is impossible for people and animals to live in the arctic. Write a letter to your friend explaining it is possible to live in the Arctic.

Answers

Dear friend.

I recently remembered an argument we had when we were kids. You said it was possible for people and animals to live in the Arctic and I vehemently disagreed. Well, you were correct all along.

There are really living beings, including human beings living in this region, which seems crazy when we remember how cold this place is. The animals that live there are very well adapted to the environment and although they experience some adversities, they are used to this type of life. The people who live there are also adapted, although they still suffer from the cold and all the effects it causes. These people feed mainly on fish, seals and whales and we know them as Eskimos.

This memory made me research about not only the beings that live in the attic, but also about this region as a whole. I hope we can see each other soon, so that I can show you the fruits of my research personally.
