acropolis
analysis
cosmopolitan
electrolysis
metropolitan
paralysis
political
psychoanalysis

Choose which word best completes the sentence.

1. Throughout Greek history, the (acropolis, electrolysis) alternately served as a fortress, a religious center, and a political hub.

2. U.S. anarchist Emma Goldman once complained that "the (political, metropolitan) arena leaves one no alternative-one must either be a dunce or a rogue."

3. The doctor recommended (paralysis, electrolysis) as a means of removing hair.

4. To appeal to the sophisticated palates of their clientele, certain (political, cosmopolitan) restaurants serve items that feature a broad range of culinary influences.

5. In the final (analysis, psychoanalysis), I hope to be judged by the friends and family I've loved and the kindnesses I've shown, not by the possessions I may have acquired.


The last 3 questions are additional questions, because I ran out of room. Thank you for your help!

I have a EFC of 1370,and plan on going to a community college. Does this mean I have to pay for some of the college,and I read somewhere that its good as long as the number is under 3500,also I know it depends on the college inself,but I was just wondering if anyone knows.
Thanks.

I got my Bachelor's in 2001, and have been pondering about whether it's worth it to continue with my Master's.

If I do continue, it will be 2 years, full-time, and will cost me around $40K (for the programme I'm interested in, by coursework, in-campus), excluding my living and commuting expenses, and the fact that I will have no income for 2 years, since I will be studying full-time and not working at all.

Considering the HUGE amount of money this is, is getting this Master's a worthy investment? I am talking in terms of future job prospects, salary and international mobility (e.g. easier migration to 1st-world countries and the potential to hold dual citizenship perhaps?).

$40K is still a huge sum.

I have been working towards graduating on time from college - this may - and I will be finished with my BA in english adn a minor in Comparative Literature - but I recently found out about a minor in Journalism that I can complete in another semester but that would mean not graduating "on time". What should I do - I was planning on pursuing my masters in English starting in the fall as well and am looking for jobs now at the same time - It is becoming overwhelming? What should I do? Get job and pursue the masters, do the journalism and find a part time job for one more semester and then do the masters? - anyone ever in this situation? whats more important graduating on time and just starting to work somewhere or finishing school then working? I need guidance

I was talking to a friend today and she has 2 children with autism. I ahve a child who has mild autisic feature and I began to think - could two moms open a school for children to come to to have a coach and work on 3 goals at a time to learn better social habits and try to better mainstream themselves more for socializing within the family, school and later on work. Can each child be assigned a coach to work on 3 goals 2x a week for 2 hours each time? Work individually and then some time to do a circle like time to practice group social skills. Is this a mode that can be used to help our children? I am social worker and my friend is a speech pathologist and we are parents. There isnt anything like this in our area. Just brainstorming here - so please send my your feedback about this very basic and preliminary idea.

I am looking for a timeline kist that is approximately 8 1/2 x 11, but is folded, acordion style, so that it can be opened to several feet long. I want a blank timeline so that my child can fill in the events herself. I need something other than a roll of paper (too flimsy). It needs to be a good cardstock weight so that it will last and we can build upon it throughout the schoolyear.
