Explanation & Answer

View attached explanation and answer. Let me know if you have any questions.
A road trip to the country side has always been a great way for me to relax, connect with family
and nature, get clearance and a wonderful time to appreciate the surroundings.
Sound – unlike in populated towns where its too noisy, the country side is exceptionally quiet.
Early in the morning you’ll be woken up by “natural sources’; cocks crowing, horses, cows,
birds which is a refreshing way to start a day.
Smell – fresh air is wonderful! While in the country you get to learn the scents of flowers, certain
trees and animal scent which in as much as it may not be very pleasant is a wonderful break from
the pollution that is in the city.
Sight – the beautiful mountains, water falls, different types and shapes/colors of birds. Watching
the sun set and sun rise is most fulfilling.
Touch – it’s a wonderful feeling to walk barefoot in the grass, the softness of moss between
your toes, the cool slime of mud, the pokes and scratches of st icks and stones is
awesome!
Taste – rain/river water is refreshing and tastes different from tap water . The taste
of natural produce prepared straight from the garden without any preservation is life
changing literally!
My mother’s name is Beatrice. Her ability to consistently care for and look after the
family; (dad, five sisters and one brother) is remarkable. In the span of less than a week, she calls
three of us who are away from home in school to check up on us, pray for us (sometimes literally
on phone), encourage/advise us and update us and remind us to be there for our each other as a
family. Patience with her has been a virtue I admire; with teenagers and young adults’ mood
swings and hormones are mostly all over the place and she is slow and understanding with us in
our varying personalities. She is always available for us and has created a safe space such that we
can talk to her concerning anything. We have seen her in her low and high moments, she has
taught us to face life with optimism, love and faith. She is a disciplined woman and that she has
instilled in us even with whopping when it was necessary (and at times it was). After visiting
home, she always sees us off to the bus station or the airport. She is a force to be reckoned with.
A reliable source is one that provides a thorough, well-reasoned theory, argument,
discussion, based on strong evidence. Unreliable sources don't always contain true, accurate, and
up-to-date information but mere claims, thoughts and individual opinions and using these
sources in academic writing can result in discrediting writers' status.
Generally, the more time that you spend in a given field, the more focused you become.
Doing so allows for one to gain a true mastery of his or her work. However, it also means relying
on other academics to broaden this narrow focus. It is important to use credible sources in an
academic research paper because your audience will expect you to have backed up your
assertions with credible evidence. Using evidence that does not come from a credible source of
information will not convince your reader that your claim is plausible or even correct. The use of
scholarly sources is not only standard practice but expected. This emphasis is true whether one is
a professional or a student, and the reason for its widespread acceptance is simple: no one knows
everything about everything. Without this accountability, it can be extremely challenging to
know if the work you are approaching is reputable.
Taken advantage of or used; the co-worker copied data as it was in my report. This means
she/he did not take time to research and compar...
