-5. Restiveness in a listening situation is a cue for the speaker to A. change activity
B. ignore the listeners
C. leave the hall
D. shout down the audience

A. change activity.

Explanation:

Restiveness is the anxious feeling that a person has, an ill foreboding feeling of something to happen. It is the feeling or act of being impatient.

In a listening situation, if a speaker sees that his listeners are becoming restive, then he should try to change the activity he's doing. This will ensure that the listeners are not bored and impatient and it will divert the attention of the listeners. It will also provide relief or change in the interest of the listeners.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

paine is arguying that they had tried everything before coming to the conclusion that they needed to fight for their freedom.

argument: "every quiet method for peace hath been ineffectual."

claim 1: "our prayers have been rejected with disdain; and only tended to convince us, that nothing flatters vanity, or confirms obstinacy in kings more than repeated petitioning and nothing hath contributed more than that very measure to make the kings of europe absolute."

claim 2: "wherefore, since nothing but blows will do, for god’s sake, let us come to a final separation, and not leave the next generation to be cutting throats, under the violated unmeaning names of parent and child."

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4
