Read the excerpt from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.

In this style, argue tyrants of every denomination, from the weak king to the weak father of a family; they are all eager to crush reason; yet always assert that they usurp its throne only to be useful. Do you not act a similar part, when you force all women, by denying them civil and political rights, to remain immured in their families groping in the dark? For surely, Sir, you will not assert, that a duty can be binding which is not founded on reason?

Which statement paraphrases Wollstonecraft’s argument?

A.By refusing women rights, men are enslaving women in their current roles.
B.Men strive to be kings and fathers because they prefer leadership roles.
C.By ignoring women’s demands, men are weakening the family structure.
D.Women are toiling in the dark, unaware of new laws that are being considered.

The correct option is A. By refusing women's rights, men are enslaving women in their current roles.

Paraphrasing is the act of restating or rephrasing a text or statement in your own words while retaining the meaning and essence of the original content. It involves expressing the information or ideas from the original source using different words and sentence structures, without changing the overall message conveyed. Paraphrasing is often used to clarify or simplify complex ideas, to provide a different perspective, or to incorporate information from a source into one's own writing while avoiding plagiarism.

Here in the question,

Option A accurately paraphrases Wollstonecraft's argument that by denying women civil and political rights, men are essentially enslaving women in their existing roles. Wollstonecraft criticizes tyrants of all forms, including weak kings and fathers, who suppress reason and claim to do so for the purpose of being useful. She questions the imposition of duty without reason, and argues that denying women their rights traps them within their families and prevents them from fully developing their potential.

The other options are not true because they misrepresent Wollstonecraft's argument or introduce unrelated ideas:

Option B suggests that men strive to be kings and fathers due to a preference for leadership roles, which is not directly addressed in the excerpt or aligned with Wollstonecraft's central argument.

Option C implies that men ignoring women's demands weakens the family structure, which is not explicitly discussed in the excerpt and goes beyond the scope of Wollstonecraft's argument.

Option D suggests that women are unaware of new laws, which is not mentioned or implied in the excerpt. Wollstonecraft focuses on the denial of civil and political rights to women and their consequent confinement rather than their knowledge of specific laws.

Therefore, The correct answer is option B.

Read the excerpt from a speech by Eleanor Roosevelt after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. What was her purpose for delivering this speech?

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I am speaking to you tonight at a very serious moment in our history. The Cabinet is convening and the leaders in Congress are meeting with the President. The State Department and Army and Navy officials have been with the President all afternoon. In fact, the Japanese ambassador was talking to the president at the very time that Japan's airships were bombing our citizens in Hawaii and the Philippines and sinking one of our transports loaded with lumber on its way to Hawaii.
By tomorrow morning the members of Congress will have a full report and be ready for action.
In the meantime, we the people are already prepared for action. For months now the knowledge that something of this kind might happen has been hanging over our heads and yet it seemed impossible to believe, impossible to drop the everyday things of life and feel that there was only one thing which was important—preparation to meet an enemy no matter where he struck. That is all over now and there is no more uncertainty.
We know what we have to face and we know that we are ready to face it.

Kites: Birds of Glory

As a rule, raptors, or birds of prey, are among the most admired and adored birds in the world. From the California condor to the snowy owl, few birds compare to the tigers of the air: the great hunters whose beauty and skill have inspired art and literature for centuries. The most glorious feathers of the peacock or the vibrant plumage of a bunting cannot compete with the power of a peregrine falcon or the determination of an osprey. Included in this group of hunters, however, is one bird of prey that is little known but equally impressive. The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies.

Most people think of paper or cloth structures flown with string from the ground when the word 'kite' is used. In addition to these popular toys, kite can also refer to a type of raptor. Kites have a small head, a short beak and long narrow wings and tail. Kites can be found all over the world in mostly warm regions. Kites live on a variety of prey—from insects to small rodents or reptiles. Some kites eat only one kind of prey. Kites are generally masterful in the air and represent a group of birds that are among the most acrobatic of fliers.

Two of the most familiar kites in the Southern United States are the swallow-tailed kite and the Mississippi kite. The Mississippi kite is rather plain to look at: a light brown and gray body with a buff or white colored head. But to watch a Mississippi kite fly is to watch a ballet in the air. These raptors eat primarily flying insects, so they do most of their hunting on the wing. As you might imagine, catching flying insects requires a great deal of agility and speed. If you are lucky enough to see one in flight, you will be amazed at the quick turns, graceful moves, and speedy pursuits of this bird. Look for them above large fields, especially during the summer.

The swallow-tailed kite, also common in the South, is more easily identifiable and often seen flying over roads. With black wings and tail, white head and body, and a forked or swallow-like tail, this raptor is just as acrobatic as the Mississippi kite. Swallow-tailed kites like flying over highways in the summer as they can take advantage of the thermals, or columns of warmed air, that rise above the pavement. Once they have climbed to sufficient height, swallow-tails will glide, looking for snakes and reptiles and insects. They also eat small rodents, frogs, and other birds on occasion. Watching a swallow-tail fly is a lot like watching a gymnast perform a floor routine. Rarely flapping its wings, it uses its forked tail to make sharp turns, trace circles in the sky, or simply maintain a heading. Skilled, accomplished, and graceful, this bird is as entertaining as it is beautiful.

Both kites are known to eat while flying, unlike most other birds of prey. This practice conserves energy and allows them to hunt almost continuously. While these kites are not listed as endangered, they are rare and in some states are listed as critical. Loss of habitat is the main reason for the decline. If you are lucky enough to see one, count yourself among the few. These magnificent birds are a sight you won't soon forget.
