Thoreau uses anaphora in the phrase "It does not keep the country free; it does not settle the west; it does not educate," which emphasizes the failings of the government. This rhetorical device is part of his high rhetoric strategy to advocate for individual freedom and critique government, as seen in his works "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" and "Walden".
The rhetorical device that Thoreau uses in the phrase "it does not keep the country free; it does not settle the west; it does not educate" is anaphora. Anaphora is a rhetorical device characterized by the repetition of the same word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences. In this case, Thoreau repeats the phrase "it does not" to emphasize the limitations or failures of the subject he is critiquing, likely the government based on the thematic context. This technique serves to heighten the impact of his message and evoke a sense of urgency or importance.
Thoreau's use of anaphora is part of his broader strategy of employing high rhetoric to critique the government and advocate for individual freedom. This stylistic choice reinforces his arguments presented in works such as "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" and "Walden; or Life in the Woods", where he explores the concept of living free from governmental and social constraints. The effectiveness of Thoreau's rhetorical strategies, like the use of anaphora, continues to inspire readers and has shown lasting influence on figures promoting nonviolent resistance to injustice.

Explanation:
Before answering our questions, we have to remember that a THESIS is a specific sentence that expresses what the writer wants to say. There are some characteristics that a good thesis have to take into account:
1. To be punctual: To be able to solve a problem or develop an investigation/action plan, the thesis has to be specific. Producing general thesis is a mistake that could stop the correct process.
2. To be ascertainable: The investigator/writer/person with a problem should be able to check if the objectives were achieved or not.
3. To be consistent: It has to be some logic in our thesis sentence. It cannot be contradictory or meaningless because it will be hindering its subsequent verification.
Now that we know what a good THESIS have to take into account we can proceed to answer our questions:
6. The local sheriff is giving a speech to warn teenagers about the dangers of sexting. Here is his thesis for the speech:
If you sext, the wrong person can see your photographs. How should the sheriff revise this thesis statement?
The correct option is A: THE SHERIFF’S THESIS IS TOO SPECULATIVE because, following our three main rules, it is not totally ascertainable. The explanation is related to the fact that it is not a rule that if you sext, it will be a person that you don’t want seeing your photos. To fix its thesis the sheriff could be working in reformulating it considering its consistency and testability.
7. Elizabeth needs to analyze a web site in order to make recommendations for a redesign. Consider her working thesis statement:
The web site discourages deeper exploration because too few elements lead to pages within the site and too many elements compete for attention. How should Elizabeth revise this thesis statement?
The correct option is A: SHE SHOULD MAKE HER THESIS MORE BLAND AND OBVIOUS because doing it involves that she has to attend the specificity of its phrase. We can see that in her case she has already found two problems:
1. The web site is not working in order to encourage costumers
2. Too many elements compete for attention
These two problems could be considered as its general objectives because they are what she wants to change, so its general thesis has to be more OBVIOUS understanding this word as PUNCTUAL and CONSISTENT.
8. Gary is working on an assignment explaining the importance of using seat belts. Here is a draft of his thesis statement:
Being safe in the car is an important practice. How should Gary revise the thesis statement?
The correct answer is A: HE SHOULD NARROW IT because although we all know that it is important being safe it is an important practice, there are so many practices that we can do to make it possible, using seat belts is just one of them. So he should specify since the beginning that he will be talking about the use of seatbelts.
9. Ling has decided that she wants to quit her job She is working on her letter of resignation. Consider her working thesis statement:
I cannot wait to be free from this job. Which of the following options is the best revision of the thesis statement?
The correct option is C: BECAUSE OF THE HOURS THAT I AM FORCED TO WORK, I AM QUITTING; the explanation is related to the freedom concept that suggests us that she is not happy with her work’s schedule. What she needs to do is to make her thesis more specific, this implies that she needs to add the reason why she’s quitting.
10. Humberto needs to contact Amazon about problems with his order. Consider his working thesis statement for his e-mail of complaint: It was broken. What is the most effective revision of this statement?
The correct option is B: MY EXPEDITED ORDER (#123456789) FOT HE AMAZON FIRE WAS BROKEN WHEN IT ARRIVED, AND I NEED A NEW ONE WITH FREE EXPEDITED SHIPPING. This thesis meets the 3 main characteristics that we had enunciated: to be punctual, to be ascertainable and to be consistent. Just reading it we know all what he needs to receive from Amazon and what was the initial problem.
Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggests that Ivan Ilyich tried his best to escape from the reality of his troubled family life? Praskovya Fedorovna blamed her husband for every inconvenience they encountered in their new home. Most of the conversations between husband and wife, especially as to the children's education, led to topics which recalled former disputes, and these disputes were apt to flare up again at any moment. There remained only those rare periods of amorousness which still came to them at times but did not last long. These were islets at which they anchored for a while and then again set out upon that ocean of veiled hostility which showed itself in their aloofness from one another. This aloofness might have grieved Ivan Ilyich had he considered that it ought not to exist, but he now regarded the position as normal, and even made it the goal at which he aimed in family life. His aim was to free himself more and more from those unpleasantness and to give them a semblance of harmlessness and propriety. He attained this by spending less and less time with his family, and when obliged to be at home he tried to safeguard his position by the presence of outsiders. The chief thing however was that he had his official duties. The whole interest of his life now centered in the official world and that interest absorbed him. The consciousness of his power, being able to ruin anybody he wished to ruin, the importance, even the external dignity of his entry into court, or meetings with his subordinates, his success with superiors and inferiors, and above all his masterly handling of cases, of which he was conscious—all this gave him pleasure and filled his life, together with chats with his colleagues, dinners, and bridge. So that on the whole Ivan Ilyich's life continued to flow as he considered it should do—pleasantly and properly.

Which occasion or circumstance leads the speaker to the thoughts in Sonnet VII by John Milton?
Answer: For Grad point users the (Correct) answer is "a birthday".
I just took the test and got it correct. I provided a screenshot is below for proof.
(Answer choices)
a new career
✓
a birthday
a fight
a spring day
Explanation: Take a look at the poem and make your own inferences.
Read the passage.
How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,
Stolen on his wing my three and twentieth year!
My hasting days fly on with full career,
But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth.
Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth,
That I to manhood am arrived so near,
And inward ripeness doth much less appear,
That some more timely-happy spirits endueth.
Which occasion or circumstance leads the speaker to the thoughts in Sonnet VII by John Milton?
Here is the way I worked through it.
We can inspect the answer choice: "new career". In the third line it says my "hasting days fly on with a full career." Despite this it doesn't mention anything about a new career in all the lines so we can rule it out.
After reading through the poem we can infer that there are no 'fighting words' or acts of violence. Therefore it's NOT "a fight".
Next we can inspect the answer choice: "new career". In the third line it says my "hasting days fly on with a full career." Despite this it doesn't mention anything about a 'new' career in all the lines so we can rule it out.
It's also not "a spring day". It does mention "But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth." However after reading the lines over you can tell he is referring to himself. This means he is getting old and he feels its effects.
It's clear that the answer is "a birthday" because it is mentioned right off the bat how time has essentially stolen his youth in his three and twentieth year. This suggests he is 23 years of age now. He is reflecting on his birthday and how his age is robing of his productivity.
P.S. "I would be at your utmost thanks if you gave this answer the brainiest. First of all, it's correct. next it's informative and well thought out. As for anyone else giving it 5 stars and thanks are also very important".

Each year since 1901 the Nobel Prize has been awarded to a wide range of international recipients for their achievements in chemistry, literature, medicine, peace and physics
Answer:
It requires correction because it doesn't separate the words to communicate the message correctly.
Explanation:

Explain how transitions create cohesion between paragraphs
Transitions are essential for creating cohesion between paragraphs, serving as bridges to connect ideas and signal shifts in the argument or narrative.
Explanation:Transitions in writing are crucial for creating cohesion between paragraphs. These transitional words and phrases indicate relationships between ideas, ensuring that writing does not become disjointed but rather flows smoothly from one point to the next. The use of transitions signals to the reader the connection between paragraphs, whether it's the introduction of a new idea, an extension of a previous thought, or a contrast to the preceding points.
When appropriately used, transitions act as bridges that string various parts of text together, allowing for a more understandable and interconnected piece of writing. They alert readers to shifts in the narrative or argumentation, highlighting whether subsequent paragraphs are offering supporting evidence, counterarguments, or different perspectives on the subject matter.
For example, a student employing transitions in an essay about the necessity of a traffic light may use words such as 'Furthermore' to add another reason to their argument, 'However' to introduce a counterpoint, or 'As a result' to convey the consequences of the current situation. Transitional words and phrases within and across paragraphs help readers follow the logic of the arguments presented, making the text more persuasive and comprehensible.

This question is based on the following paragraph. In American society, romantic love is considered the main reason for people to marry. On the other hand, in some societies, romantic love is considered a form of obsession or madness. In fact, even in many societies where "true love" is not considered a form of insanity, arranged marriages are still the norm. For example, in many cultures it's believed that marriage is basically an economic arrangement. Thus, a farmer needs a wife both to bear children and to share the farm work while raising new "hands" as additional farm labor. In other societies, marriage is mainly about cementing connections between families. Indeed, most marriages between members of European royal or aristocratic lineages were primarily aimed at creating trust, loyalty, and mutual obligations between privileged and powerful families.

in early America, religion was A. scorned by most settlers B. at the center of the community C. common but not often practiced D. only practices by literate settlers
Answer:
B. at the center of the community.
Explanation:
In early America, religion absolutely dominated community life. Religion was considered the most important aspect of a person's life, and because of this, it was involved in all actions and activities of a person. Moreover, many early communities were founded by Puritans. Puritans were persecuted for their religion in Europe, and wanted a place where they could experience and live their religion in peace. This meant that after their arrival, most Puritans were interested in making their religion an essential part of their identities and lifestyles.

By putting on the coat, he is dressing in a more proper and formal manner. He is following the social rules of the occasion. Propriety means to follow or conform to the social rules and behaviors of a situation.
