Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:
(1) Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war ... testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated ... can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
(2) We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate ... we cannot consecrate ... we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

which of these does henry david thoreau criticize in "resistance to civil government"?
A. The Civil War
B. The Industrial Revolution
C. Women's Rights
D. Taxes
D. Taxes
Hope this helps! :)
The right answer would be D. taxes.
Henry Thoreau advocates that when you find that your government is using your tax money to finance something unjust (in his case, the Mexican-American war) or is prolonging an unjust situation (such as the slavery), the more just thing to do is to stop paying taxes, in protest, and face the legal consequences.
He states that if every person who is against war or slavery stopped paying his taxes eventually would bring a change on the laws, inciting the politicians on passing laws that favored they way of thinking.
Born in Massachusetts in 1775, Laura Ingersoll had a tough childhood. Her mother died when Laura was 9, and her father soon remarried. Her father was a public official and an officer in the army. He spent most of his time at work. As the oldest child, Laura would have been expected to help raise her younger brothers and sisters. In time, Laura’s father heard the Canadian government was offering land to settlers. Canada at that time was still a part of the British Empire. After what must have been a difficult decision, her father moved the family to Ontario. Two years later, at the age of 22, Laura met and married James Secord, a Canadian with strong ties to the King of England. After the wedding, Laura and her new husband moved away to another town. Unfortunately, arguments were growing between the United States and Great Britain. Eventually the arguing led to war. In 1812, the United States army invaded Canada. Laura’s husband James joined the army, yet was soon wounded in battle. He returned home to recover. While he rested, the Americans occupied Laura's new town. The American army forced Laura to quarter some soldiers in her home. One day, while serving a meal for American officers, she overheard them discussing plans for an attack. The Americans expected to take the British army by surprise and destroy it. This would allow them to drive the British from Canada, and possibly cause Laura’s new country to lose the war. Laura felt she had to do something. That night, she left her husband alone and snuck out to warn the British army. As she was leaving, an American guard stopped Laura and demanded to know where she was going. Thinking quickly, Laura told the guard that she was going to milk a cow. The American believed her, and she was able to slip away. The journey was long and difficult. Laura had to avoid American scouts. She traveled many hours in the dark before stumbling into a camp of Native warriors. Luckily, the Natives were friends of the British. They gave Laura shelter then led her to the British camp. With the help of Laura and the Natives, the British ambushed the Americans and defeated them. Laura’s new home was safe. Though she received little reward for her devotion and bravery, Laura Se cord still is considered a folk hero by many Canadian.
What is the best explanation for Laura's motivation to warn the British?
A. Although Laura was new to Canada, she still thought of herself as an American.
B. Laura's father had taught her a deep respect for the military and she wanted to help.
C. Laura was only interested in saving her husband's life and felt this was the best way.
D. Laura felt a stronger bond to her new home of Canada than the country of her birth.s.
In which sentence is the underlined verb irregular? We brought a picnic lunch when we toured the monuments in Washington, D.C. We have planned a trip to Washington, D.C., to tour its many monuments. We walked several blocks to tour the monuments in Washington, D.C.
The correct answer is We brought a picnic lunch when we toured the monuments in Washington, D.C. In this sentence, the verb is bought, which is the past tense of bring. The verbs in the other sentences are regular verbs because they form their different tenses according to an established pattern, in this case, to make the past and past participle, the particle –ed was added to the verb: walk-walked; plan-planned. Irregular verbs do not follow an established pattern, thus, here the past tense of bring is not bringed but brought.

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,

And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—

But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,

From Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (1)One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. (2)"What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table -Samsa was a travelling salesman - and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. (3)Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

Is it correct to send an email with Good Morning or Good morning/Good afternoon or Good Afternoon. I never know if I should capitalize the second word if it is not a proper noun. Also, if you can verify how to write: To Whom it May Concern...Thanks so much for your help!
In formal emails, 'Good Morning' or 'Good Afternoon' should be used with both words capitalized. 'To Whom It May Concern' is the correct capitalization for that salutation. A formal closing should be included with only the first word capitalized.
When crafting a formal email, it is proper to use capitalization correctly to convey a professional tone. You should start your email with a proper salutation, such as "Good Morning" or "Good Afternoon" where 'Good' is always capitalized and 'Morning' or 'Afternoon' is capitalized as well since these greetings are often considered standard salutations where each word is typically capitalized. In the case of the phrase "To Whom it May Concern," the convention is to capitalize the first letter of each word except for 'it,' making the correct format "To Whom It May Concern." This is a formal salutation used when you do not know the specific name of the person you are addressing. Always remember to include a formal closing with only the first word capitalized, such as 'Thanks,' or 'Regards,' followed by your name. This demonstrates professionalism and attention to detail.

Perhaps they cried out in protest and in warning. But men paid no heed to their warning. And they, these few, fought a hopeless battle, and they perished with their banners smeared by their own blood. And they chose to perish, for they knew. To them, I send my salute across the centuries, and my pity.

a. gives details of how violent societies can be when faced with overwhelming obstacles.
b. suggests that the group with the larger numbers always wins the battle.
c. implies that the narrator will also be killed for questioning authority.
d. depicts the collective society as a destructive force that represses the independent thinker.
(A is incorrect)
Final answer:
The imagery of 'a hopeless battle' represents the struggle of individuals against a repressive collective society (d), illustrating the theme that group thinking suppresses mankind's potential.
Explanation:
The imagery of “a hopeless battle” in the excerpt from Anthem helps to develop the theme that group thinking limits man’s potential because it depicts the collective society as a destructive force that represses the independent thinker. This metaphor suggests that even when individuals are aware that they are against overwhelming odds, they still choose to fight for their beliefs, knowing full well that they may not survive. The choice to fight a losing battle underscores the value these individuals place on independent thought, in stark contrast to a society that enforces conformity and suppresses individuality.Which of the following signal words would best complete the sentence:

The oil crisis also affected schools and businesses, many of which closed on Mondays or Fridays in order to save on heating and energy costs. Others are looking at how smaller school districts have managed to save money by establishing a four-day school week. Most schoolchildren can agree on one thing: Monday is the least favorite day of the week. After a weekend of spending time with their family and friends, few children relish the Monday morning sounding of the alarm or call of “It’s time to get up!” from down the hall. States that allow four-day school weeks require that the students spend the same amount of hours in class each week. For high school students, this means shortening breaks between classes while lengthening the school day by about an hour.
