Answer: B. He is taught by white boys on the street in exchange for bread.
Frederick Douglass was an American abolitionist. Born into slavery in Maryland, he escaped, and became a leader of the abolitionist movement. He was famous for his oratory and writing skills.
In the autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, he explains how he learned how to read and write. In Chapter 7, Douglass writes that at first, his master's wife decided to teach him the alphabet. However, she was persuaded of the incompatibility of slavery and education, and decided to stop. Douglass then decided to ask the white boys he met in his errands for instruction, in exchange for bread. In this way, and by observing the writing of the men he worked with, Douglass learned how to read and write. He goes on to say that being able to do so allowed him to gain more knowledge about the world, which then convinced him of the injustices of slavery and allowed him to hope for freedom.

The following sentence is punctuated correctly: have you ever been overseas for vacation: true or false
Read the introduction from an argumentative essay. Think about the number of chores you do in any given week. According to a recent newspaper article, robots may soon be doing your chores for you. Robots also may be taking over more "human” roles like teaching children and caring for older people. On the plus side, robots could make room for people to spend their time doing more interesting things, but having robots doing all the work has disadvantages, too. To make the claim in the introduction stronger and more effective, the writer should provide a clear viewpoint. use more informal language. offer an alternative solution. address the counterclaim.
To make the claim in the introduction stronger and more effective the writer should provide a clear viewpoint because this paragraph is confusing for the reader. The reason for this is that the paragraph starts claiming that robots can make our lives easier because they can assume more "human" roles and so leave us more free time in order to do things that we love but then it ends by stating that there are also disadvantages to this evolution. Consequently, it is not clear for the reader if the writer is in favor or against this evolution.
Making the language more informal wouldn't help because it wouldn't guarantee a clearer point of view. Moreover, offering an alternative solution doesn't seem to be the topic of this paragraph. Finally, a reference to the counterclaim as well as addressing it would be more appropriate to do in another paragraph.

Which image from the painting does not demonstrate the “suffering” Auden describes In his poem?
None of the images from the painting demonstrates the 'suffering' Auden described in his poem.
In his poem, Auden describes 'suffering' that is not portrayed in any of the visual art pieces mentioned in the given information.
While the poets' work and Käthe Kollwitz's art conveyed the misery of war, the image created by George Bellows, titled Return of the Useless, shows Germans unloading sick or disabled labor camp prisoners from a boxcar, which aligns with Auden's description of suffering. Therefore, none of the images from the painting demonstrates the 'suffering' Auden described in his poem.

Four is definitely a choice. The author is drawing a conclusion on what really happens with the use of 19th century fictional writing practices. That conclusion comes entirely from his own background, and his own experience with the literature he has engaged reading and commenting on.
You can't really use 1 and 2 although you could use both if you had the sentence that was after both of them.
So that leaves you only with three. The "enhance the illusion of reality" is a good phrase and fits the criteria that we are supposed to use in answering this question.

A) few survived the horrific train ride.
B) the author and his father were safe.
C) Meir Katz was not as strong as he seemed.
D) Meir Katz was left behind to remove the dead.
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show (A) a few survived the horrific train ride.
He talks about a lethal ride and that the passengers had been a hundred or so.
Answer: A) few survived the horrific train ride.
The excerpt does not show that his father and him were safe. Difficulties could have been waiting for them right after leaving the train. Moreover, there is no blame attached to Meir Katz for remaining on the train. He was just a victim of horrific circumstances. There was also no purpose in leaving him behind according to this passage. However, the passage does prove that very few people survived the train ride (in this case, 12/100).
Compare the words slow and foe. How are they alike? How are they different?
Slow: Is alike with foe, because they both rhyme, and is different, because it means to be moving at a low speed. Foe: Alike in the sense that it rhymes, and different because it means your enemy or opponent. These two words can also be alike, because they both mean "annoying things".
Answer:
Slow and foe have similar negative or pessimistic connotations, since slow can refer to something or somebody dull and foe to an adversary. As a result, both words can be used to describe things or people that are irritating. Besides, both of them have the same vowel sounds, /ou/.
On the other hand, they are different because slow is an adjective and foe is a noun.

Answer:
When Justice Lewis Powell stated that racial and ethnic distinctions require the most exacting judicial examination, he meant these qualities required extremely precise consideration.
Explanation:
In the case of Allan Bakke being rejected admission in the University of California, Davis, in 1973 and 1974, he filed a case against the university citing that they had no right to deny admission to any student with regards to age when there are less qualified students from the minority section who are admitted. This became into what is now famously known as the case of the Regeants of the University of California v. Bakke. The case was transferred to the state supreme court due to it's involvement with the racial issue which was of prominence during that time. Justice Powell was part of the team working on the case. The verdict of the court was that Bakke be granted admission and that universities/ educational institutions remove the special reservations policy and instead allow admission to students based on their merit and not based on race or minority status. And if any issue of racial and ethnic distinctions arise, they should be dealt with in the most exacting judicial examination required so that there is no discrimination involved. It doesn't mean that the issue of race or ethnicity be completely scraped but it should be dealt with extremely precise consideration.

Which of the following is NOT a type of conflict?
A. The youths struggle of fears
B. The fat soliders fight with a young girl.
C. the army travels through the woods.
The correct answer is option C: the army travels through the woods.
A conflict is a major dispute or verbal fight which usually lasts for a long time. As a result, an organized military force by itself that travels through the woods does not involve a quarrel of any kind.
In sentence A, young people make a forceful effort to get rid of their anxiety, while in sentence B, there is a conflict between the fat soldiers and the young girl.
Conflict generally involves struggle between opposing forces. Both the youth's struggle of fears and the fat soldier's fight with a young girl depict conflict. But the instance of the army traveling through the woods lacks a clear opposing force, hence, does not represent conflict.
Explanation:The question is asking which scenario does not illustrate conflict, a key literary element that drives a story. Conflict generally involves a struggle between opposing forces, typically between a protagonist and an antagonist.
The youth's struggle with fears - This represents internal conflict, a battle within one's self.The fat soldier's fight with a young girl. - This is an example of person-person conflict, a struggle between two characters.The army's travel through the woods - This is not considered a conflict since there's no apparent struggle between opposing forces.Therefore, the answer is C. the army travels through the woods.

Which detail from the text best supports the inference that Jordyn has come to appreciate something she has learned about herself from Mariah? "I promised to take her to a skating practice sometime, though I couldn’t really imagine my teammates 'getting' her personality the way I did." "Mariah told me she’d always wanted to try sports, but then she enumerated the many times she had attempted and failed, dating back to the time she broke her foot in pre-school gymnastics." "My poor reading history didn’t actually mean that I didn’t like reading; it was just that I never had time to pursue reading for pleasure with all of the other activities on my plate."
Answer:
My poor reading history didn't actually mean that i didn't like reading it was just that i never had time to pursue reading for pleasure with other activities on my plate.
Explanation:
Jordyn shows her understanding of her friend Mariah's situation in the sense that she had learned that despite her friend's desire to try sports up to the extent of breaking her foot and failing miserably she still wanted to try.
Thus Jordyn could relate this with her poor reading habits which did not mean that she disliked reading.

B. Johnson used the shift in political power to give Southern states and former Confederate soldiers greater power to create laws that limited rights for African-Americans.
C. Johnson used his position to continue the policies that Lincoln had outlined for Reconstruction with regard to voting rights for African-Americans and former Confederate soldiers.
D. Johnson used his position to appoint former Confederate leaders from Southern states to high positions in the Senate and other powerful branches of the U.S. government
Answer: B. Johnson used the shift in political power to give Southern states and former Confederate soldiers greater power to create laws that limited rights for African-Americans.
Andrew Johnson was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869, right after president Abraham Lincoln.
Johnson continued the process of Reconstruction in Southern States. However, he adopted a different strategy from that of Lincoln. He supported the decision of Southern States to reelect a lot of their former leaders, and to pass laws restricting the rights of African Americans. Johnson also opposed the Fourteenth Amendment, which gave citizenship to former slaves. He was impeached by the House of Representatives and narrowly avoided removal from office. He eventually left office in 1869.
