Both questions are alternatives; you answer ........ one ........ the other
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct phrase is "either/or". "Either/or" means you have two options, and you must choose one of them. For example, "Do you want to have pizza or burgers for dinner?" Here, you have to choose either pizza or burgers, not both or neither. "Neither/nor" means you have two options, but you reject both of them. For example, "I don't like neither pizza nor burgers." Here, you are rejecting both options, and you do not want either one. "Either/nor" is not a commonly used phrase, so it's best to avoid it.

More specifically, the sea anemone is formed quite like a flower for which is named, with body like a stem and tentacles like petals in brilliant shades; blue, pink, green and red. Its diameters vary from about six millimeters in some species to more than ninety centimeters in the giant verities of Australia. Like corals, hydras and jelly fish, sea anemones are coelenterates. They can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower part of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells or wharf pilings.
The upper and end of the sea anemone has a mouth surrounded by tentacles which the animal uses to capture its food. Stinging cells in the tentacles throw out tiny poison threads that paralyze other small sea animals. The tentacles then drag this prey into the sea anemone's mouth.The food is digested in the large inner body cavity. When disturbed, a sea anemone retracts its lump on a rock. Anemones may reproduce by forming eggs. dividing in half or developing buds that grow and break off as independent animals.

Detalles de la respuesta
In "Sweet Sixteen," Bolaji Abdullahi notes that stereoscopic people should be corrected of their bad thinking. To explain this in simple terms, being stereoscopic means having a narrow and limited perspective on things, which often leads to making judgments and forming opinions based on preconceived notions or generalizations, rather than on actual knowledge or experience. Therefore, it is important to correct this kind of thinking by providing more information and educating individuals about different perspectives and experiences, as well as challenging their assumptions and biases. This can help them broaden their understanding and become more open-minded and accepting of diversity.

The term Mass Communication occurs when information is disseminated to a relatively large number of people in different places. it should be seen as the same thing with talking face to face with someone else. With mass communication, there is no answer, smile, laugh or lock of surprise. the people who receive the message are as far away from the source of the message as far away as you are from the announcers on the radio or from the newscasters on television, or from the writer of a column in the local newspaper.
There are three identifiable means of errors in mass communication. There is one done through the printed words, books, magazine and newspapers. The other is primarily radio, but also records and tape recordings. Also, it can be done through a combination of sound and pictures as in television, films and the more recently popular video tape.
Together, they are referred to as the mass media.
All media can be used to inform and entertain. However, there are coverts roles played. It may be to educate as in school broadcast. Again, the aim may be to persuade as when the media are used by advertisers or for political broadcasts. The media are often in strong position to influence public opinion because they select the topics to be presented and can stress the importance of one issue over the other.
The mass media have, in recent times, come under acerbic criticism. Many presenters have become not only conscientized but also immensely concerned about the possible effects that science of violence and bad behavior may have on their children. More worrisome are the potential danger of political and commercial propaganda.
