Which of the following is a logical conclusion that can be reached regarding these bird species? ( 2 points)

Select one:

a. Allopatric speciation has occurred as a result of geographic isolation.

b. Hybridization has occurred as a result of reduced gene flow.

c. Reproductive isolation has occurred as a result of prezygotic barriers.

d. Sympatric speciation has occurred as a result of postzygotic barriers.

Hi, I need help with essay on Chinese literature Unit 3. Paper must be at least 1250 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

u’s “Praying For Rain,”1 from the Chou period, and the poem “Sitting and Forgetting,”2 from the Nine Songs, from the latter Chu period, and examine how each portray and think about ritual. The first shows a more straightforward approach to ritual—as in a kind of rain dance which is a means to an end. The second show ritual and its relation to nature as being potentially personally transformative.

In “Praying for Rain” the poet describes the rituals or etiquette that surrounds rainfall, the harvest, and agriculture. Back then there was no agricultural science. Most farmers believed that a good harvest came because the gods were happy. The harvest was hugely important for everyone because the population relied on it for nourishments. It therefore made sense that rituals and prayers that poets and priests believed would help the harvest would be of huge importance and would frequently be refined and added to in order to ensure the best possible harvest. Poetry and ritual at the time were in some sense a matter of life and death. Ku Liang Shu describes the correct time to pray for rain to improve the crops.3 He says that petitioners must wait until the last minute, until it becomes clear that the rain is absolutely necessary, before engaging in the ritual prayer. By praying, man is “asking for a favour” the poet rights. These things must not be taken lightly. The power the gods have over people is one of life and death.

There is an additional social aspect to this view of rituals: favours are important things and should be frivolously asked for. Ask only for what you need. We see in this work that rituals are taken very seriously and are mostly a way of communing with the gods, rather than with people (although there can be social implications to these rituals).

The “Sitting and Forgetting,” one of the Nine Song, focuses much more on an abstraction of the ritual and its power to transform the world or the poet’s perspective of the world.

First, choose a food item or cuisine that interests you. Some will have more information available about them than others, so it’s worth doing some investigation before you settle on one. In general, any well known national cuisine will have adequate information available, as will widespread food items like hamburgers, pizza, and sushi. If you’re not sure if your desired topic is appropriate, please feel free to ask!

Once you have selected your topic, you will then do research to see how each of the following geographic concepts affects or is related to your topic:1. Regions2. Cultural Landscape3. Diffusion4. Distance decayThe first three concepts are well covered in your textbook. Distance decay refers to the fact that influence and interaction between locations decreases as the distance between them increases. As such, it has a significant influence on how things change as they diffuse away from their point of origin. Be sure to address these specific geographic terms and concepts. You don’t need to address them in this order, but you do need to address all of them. You may use “subsets” of these definitions (e.g. contagious diffusion) if such subsets exist. Be sure to refer to your text and other reliable resources to ensure you completely understand these concepts. You should be detailed in your treatment of these concepts – for instance, you should explain both how and why your choice varies by region, and how and why it has been affected by distance decay. Remember that geography, as an academic discipline, seeks to explain why things vary from place to place, not just describe how they do.Your illustrated paper should be 12 to 15 slides long. You should include a title, an introduction to the topic, a main body that covers how the four geographic concepts relate to your topic, a summary, conclusion, and reference list. You should cite your sources using the citation style appropriate for your field. If you’re not sure what that is, use APA style citations. The APUS library APA style guide can be found here: http:// You should use the Notes section of the presentation to include image citations or URLs with the slides on which the images appear.This exercise will require some research on your part, and you should be sure to use legitimate sources. Be careful of Wikipedia or other “wiki” sites. Try for official and credible sites and sources. Remember that this is an illustrated paper, so you should make use of images on most, if not all, slides. You should also avoid large blocks of text and use bullet points when possible.

Plagiarism: Your assignment must be in your own words. You may not copy and paste text from your sources unless you enclosing the text in quotes (such direct quotes can be no more than 10% of your assignment). You must paraphrase your sources by putting the information they contain into your own words. This means making significant changes to the text, not just changing a word here and there. Failure to comply with these instructions will be considered plagiarism, and will result in a zero for the assignment and an official plagiarism report being filed with the university.

APA FORMAT for on slide citations and your references on your reference page. Make sure do this correctly, you can also be nailed for plagiarism for not doing this . Look up “APA FORMAT” in google to learn more and for machines to help you generate the correct format!
