Draw the tree diagram corresponding to the following word:
Disestablishmentarianism
A tree diagram is NOT an appropriate way to express the word "Disestablishmentarianism", thus a simple explanation is given below:
The word is derived from the root "establishment," which means the act of instituting or setting up, and the prefix "dis-" which means "opposite of."
How can the word be expressed?"Disestablishmentarianism" is a word of considerable length and complexity, and it is not easy to break down into smaller parts
Hence, it can be seen that the suffix "-arianism" refers to a belief in or support of some principle or movement. Together, the word "Disestablishmentarianism" refers to the principle or movement advocating for the separation of the church from state

2. Like a work of fiction, Washington's narrative has multiple characters. Explain how an implicit or explicit detail about one of the characters helps you make an inference about the young Washington.
Answer:
You need help I do to
Explanation:
Ju vibe twin
You did not mention which Washington you are referring and the name of the text, but a general description about the use of implicit and explicit details to make an inference is given below.
What is an Implicit Detail?An implicit detail is one that is suggested or hinted at in the text, rather than being directly stated.
These types of details can help you make inferences about a character because they give you clues about the character's thoughts, feelings, or actions without spelling them out explicitly.
For example, if a character is described as looking down and shuffling their feet, you can infer that they may be feeling shy or uncomfortable.
An explicit detail, on the other hand, is one that is directly stated in the text.
These types of details can also help you make inferences about a character, but they tend to provide more concrete information.
For example, if a character is described as having a scar on their cheek, you can infer that they may have been in a fight or accident at some point in their life.

Explanation:
Write an essay about “ nothing “
P.S. I mean write an essay about the topic of nothingness
Answer:
NothingnessExplanation:
Nothing can be more jarring than discovering at this moment when one is congratulating oneself on having written on everything only to instantly discover that one has written absolutely nothing on the subject of nothing.
Come to think of it, a writer who has not written on nothing is an abject non-start, a nothing in fact! Nothing can be sweeter than properly starting the writing life from nothing. That’s exactly what I want to do now: write about nothing! In short, it is my considered opinion that any writer who cannot start from nothing has learnt nothing and has thusly written nothing! But did I say the writer had written nothing? No, he has not written nothing is more like it. It does appear writing on nothing is doing some damage to my grey matter…
Yes, there are so many nothings scrambling my brain. The fire that burnt my house the other time thought it would leave me with nothing not knowing that it could not burn one particular book in my library entitled The Quotable Nothing Book, and subtitled “Being a Book of Quotes about Nothing and Nothingness” which was published at $3.95 in 1980 by Running Press, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This so-called book actually contains nothing save a quote on top of the left hand side and at the bottom of the right hand side of it, thus leaving the entire page blank.
The largely empty “nothing book” which bears no page numbers such that one cannot even talk of odd and even number pages was given to me in Canada by two lovers, Mike Anderson and Tina Novotny of 350 Dundas Street, London Ontario, Canada N6B 1V7, and they wrote the following words therein: “Send us stuff you write in here!”
Since the book contains nothing but quotes from some wags and philosophers and suchlike who enjoy writing only about nothing, I felt it amounted to indulging in nothing writing back to my friends Mike and Tina; until now that nothing is inspiring me to write on nothing!
The Quotable Nothing Book gives the definition of nothing taken from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia thus: “NOTHING (nuth’ing), n. 1. No thing; not anything; not something; something that is not anything. The conception of nothing is reached by reflecting that a noun, or name, in form, may fail to have any corresponding object; and nothing is the noun by which its very definition is of that sort.”
Given this kind of nonsensical, if complicated, definition of nothing, little wonder Paul Valery has this quip: “God made everything out of nothing. But the nothingness shows through.” And who am I not to trust Socrates when he says: “As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.” Soren Kierkegaard of course echoes the master: “The something which I am is precisely a nothing.”
Against the background of the father of philosophy and his sons knowing nothing and being nothing, Ambrose Bierce defines Philosophy this way: “A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.”
Bear with me, for as Edward Dahlberg knows, “It takes a long time to understand nothing.” After all, this exercise in nothing is only a thousand-word piece as opposed to an entire book of umpteen pages written by Joop Berkhout entitled What Men Know about Women which contains nothing but blank pages to show what everybody already knew: that man knows nothing about woman! The great Lord Byron sums it up thusly: “A book’s a book, although there’s nothing in it.”
NIRSAL AD
Genius has a lot in common with nothing, as Gertrude Stein opines, “It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing.” The fear though is that “there may not be no nothing”, as H.L. Mencken declares. Jonathan Edwards ups the ante in this wise: “That there should absolutely be nothing at all is utterly impossible. The mind, let it stretch its conceptions ever so far, can never so much as bring itself to conceive of a state of perfect nothing.”
Frederic Amiel has this different take on the subject of nothing: “Almost everything comes from almost nothing.” And wallowing in nothing, Madame du Deffand declaims: “I hear nothings, I speak nothings, I take interest in nothing, and from nothing to nothing I travel gently down the dull way which leads to becoming nothing.” Alas, the words of Henry Fielding ring true: “To whom nothing is given, of him nothing can be required.”
As though inspired by nothing Mussolini sums up his foreign policy this way: “Nothing for Nothing.” Jean Paul Richter would rather have it thus: “A variety of nothing is better than a monotony of something.” For Penelope Gilliat, “There are times when nothing has to be better than anything.” Trust good old Jonathan Swift to get into the nothing fray: “He asks for nothing; and thinks, like a philosopher, that he wants nothing.”

A manuscript's editing can range from "basic mechanical adjustments to sentence-level interventions to considerable remedial work on literary style and clarity, unorganized passages, baggy language, confusing tables and figures, and the like," according to the Chicago Manual of Style.
Before typesetting and once again before proofreading, copy editing is performed in the context of print publications.

Writers should be cautious about using religious texts as evidence because most audiences are diverse and cannot be assumed to hold a consensual belief
in one religious text
True
False
Answer:
True. It is generally not a good idea for writers to use religious texts as evidence in their writing, especially if they are writing for a diverse audience that may not hold a consensual belief in that particular text. This is because religious texts are often highly specific to certain belief systems and may not be considered credible or persuasive by readers who do not share those beliefs.
Furthermore, using religious texts as evidence can be divisive and alienating, as it may suggest that the writer is trying to promote a particular set of beliefs over others. In order to communicate effectively with a diverse audience, it is important for writers to consider the perspectives and experiences of their readers and to use evidence that is likely to be persuasive and relevant to all members of the audience.
