Final answer:
Option D effectively restates the prompt, expresses a clear opinion favoring Dr. King's rhetorical style, presents a definitive stance, and outlines three rhetorical strategies (appeal to emotion, appeal to logic, and 'I am one of you' technique) for further discussion, making it the correct choice.
Explanation:
The prompt asks to identify the claim that effectively restates the prompt, includes an opinion, a definite position, and three items to be discussed regarding the persuasive rhetoric of Patrick Henry and Dr. Martin Luther King and its applicability in today's society.
The answer is option D: "Dr. Martin Luther King and Patrick Henry used persuasive rhetoric that was appropriate and successful with their respective audiences. However, Dr. King's rhetorical style would be more effective when persuading modern audiences to make a drastic change to their beliefs, laws, or ethics because he uses appeal to emotion, appeal to logic, and the 'I am one of you' technique."
This option effectively restates the prompt by comparing the rhetorical styles of both authors, expresses a clear opinion by favoring Dr. King's style, takes a definite position on which style would be more persuasive today, and outlines three rhetorical strategies for discussion: appeal to emotion, appeal to logic, and the 'I am one of you' technique.
Which of these passages from the essay “Fish Cheeks,” the short story “Broken Chain,” the short story “Flowers for Algernon,” or the poem “Escape” best supports the theme that it isn’t a good idea to try to change who you are?
“Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table . . .”“Alfonso didn’t want to be the handsomest kid at school, but he was determined to be better looking than average.” “Artificially increased intelligence deteriorates at a rate of time directly proportional to the quantity of the increase.”“I must take this test just like everyone”
“Takes tests”
The passage that best supports the theme of not changing who you are is from the short story "Flowers for Algernon."
Explanation:The passage that best supports the theme that it isn't a good idea to try to change who you are is: "Artificially increased intelligence deteriorates at a rate of time directly proportional to the quantity of the increase." This passage is from the short story "Flowers for Algernon." It suggests that altering one's intelligence artificially can have negative consequences and that trying to change who you are may lead to deterioration and unhappiness.
The passage that best supports the theme that it isn't a good idea to try to change who you are is from the short story Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.
In Flowers for Algernon, the protagonist, Charlie, undergoes an experimental surgical procedure to increase his intelligence. The story is a poignant exploration of the consequences of trying to alter one's innate abilities. The quote reflects the idea that the artificial enhancement of Charlie's intelligence is not sustainable and will eventually revert, highlighting the theme that attempting to fundamentally change who you are can lead to negative consequences. The passage from Flowers for Algernon is the most appropriate choice as it directly addresses the theme of the pitfalls of trying to change one's natural self through artificial means."What dramatic technique(s) allow characters to speak without engaging in actual dialogue with one another?
A) monologue
B) soliloquy

Lately, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” English. But I wince when I say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. How does Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt? Tan discusses her thoughts about language to build the idea that the English language does not have words to match some Chinese terms. Tan discusses her relationship with her mother to build the idea that mothers and daughters in all cultures often have misunderstandings. Tan discusses her mother’s use of English to build the idea that a form of language can be purposeful and meaningful even if it is nonstandard. Tan discusses the English language to build the idea that there is a lack of appropriate synonyms for the word “broken.”
Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt by:
Tan discusses her mother’s use of English to build the idea that a form of language can be purposeful and meaningful even if it is nonstandard.
In the excerpt Tan wrote about how her mother's english is nonstandard and that is why she has described it to others as "broken or fractured." Nevertheless, she is bothered by the fact that she cannot use another word so that it does not come across as if her mother's english needed fixing. More than the use of words to describe her mother's english. Tan is aiming to highlight that non-standard english is still valuable and should not be looked-down.

In "Ode to the West Wind" the poet compares dormant seeds to ghosts in the grave. Later in the poem he makes reference to a "Destroyer." Which element of Shelley's poem do these most clearly support?
A.
the theme
B.
the rising action of his plot
C.
the climax
D.
the setting of his story
Answer:
B. The rising action of his plot.
Explanation:
In Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ode To The West Wind", the author wanted to spread the message of reform and revolution, with the 'wind' acting as a means to spread the words.
The poet's use of the imagery of dormant seeds as ghosts, and later on referencing to a "destroyer" makes it significant for the readers to know how powerful the wind is. He manages to show that the wind, capable of destruction, is also the very same means by which plants grow and develop. The wind being an element of preserver and also destroyer is evidently the rising plot of the poem, which can be seen from the poem.

Helen was obviously a young person of italics, a human exclamation point, enthusiastic, irrepressible. She sat fidgeting in her chair, trying her best to convince the detective that she was a grown woman.

C. Helen can speak fluently in Italian and English.
D. Helen is enthusiastic about English punctuation.

Read the passage. excerpt from Eothen by Alexander Kinglake I went to see and to explore the Pyramids. Familiar to one from the days of early childhood are the forms of the Egyptian Pyramids, and now, as I approached them from the banks of the Nile, I had no print, no picture before me, and yet the old shapes were there; there was no change: they were just as I had always known them. I straightened myself in my stirrups, and strived to persuade my understanding that this was real Egypt, and that those angles which stood up between me and the West were of harder stuff, and more ancient than the paper pyramids of the green portfolio. Yet it was not till I came to the base of the great Pyramid that reality began to weigh upon my mind. Strange to say, the bigness of the distinct blocks of stone was the first sign by which I attained to feel the immensity of the whole pile. When I came, and trod, and touched with my hands, and climbed, in order that by climbing I might come to the top of one single stone, then, and almost suddenly, a cold sense and understanding of the Pyramid's enormity came down, overcasting my brain.

The Egyptian pyramids are familiar even to people who have never visited them.
