Homework Help - September 2006

What is wrong with this sentence? In early human societies, you had to hunt or gather your food.

1. The pronoun is inappropriate since you refers to the reader, and the reader was not alive in the time described.

2. Using the second-person pronoun (you) is not generally preferred in academic writing.

3. Stating exactly who had to hunt and gather would make the sentence more clear and convey better information.

4. All of the above.

5. None of the above.

I'm not sure about this one... I originally would've thought all of the above, but our teacher has told us that using (you) in academic writing is now okay.. So if anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated... and maybe an explanation so I could understand it better? Thanks!

A computer prgrammer builds a 120 ft. rope across a bridge. If the rope breaks where he's standing at a random point, but he's able to cling to one end of it, what's the probability he'll avoid getting wet? Also, suppose the probability is only 1/2 that the rope breaks at all. Suppose that as long as he doesn't fall more than 30 ft., the probability he can climb back up is 3/4. What's the probability he won't fall at all? What's the probability that if he does, he'll be able to climb back up? PLEASE EXPLAIN!!

Which of the Following revolutionized early Native American cultures?
a) the discovery of hunting
b) the developement of agriculture
c) tribal political alliances
d) emergance of a writen language
e) the domestication of the horse

I think this is a bad question because it does not specify "early". It could be E, but the horse did not come to america untill the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. That does not seem early to me. Does anybody have an answer and a reason. This is confusing me alot. Pardon my spelling.
