He is from the very beginning informal because instead of starting the speech with let us, he uses let's. The sixth word of the speech is we so again he identies himself with the public. When he sates that he and his audience are living in a very dangerous time we can say that he is speaking frankly to his audience. The ethos in his speech is constructed in an informal way but at the same time appealing to honesty with the audience.

<span>Assuming this question is referencing "A Talk to Teachers" in his first two paragraphs Baldwin assumes the role of a wise teacher and establishes the relationship of teacher to parent. His Ethos is established by making reference to historical events and sharing common opinions with his audience.</span>

In the story, "Thank You, M'am" , a young boy, Roger, tries to steal the purse of Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones. What does

Leto [7]

Answer:

She takes him home, feeds him dinner, talks with him, and gives him money to buy some shoes.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's short story "Thank You, Ma'am," tells the encounter of a young boy and his targeted victim. And although the young boy did not succeed in stealing anything from the woman, he still ended up getting more than he had thought he'd get.

Roger was waiting to snatch the purse of Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones but the woman's strength prevented him from succeeding in his attempt. To his surprise, Mrs. Jones did not report him to the authorities nor did she punish him. Instead, she took him home, fed him, washed him, talked with him, and then gave him ten dollars to buy <em>"some blue suede shoes."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Answer:

C "Hence, more schools should follow the trend of starting later in the morning if they want to see improved test scores, greater attendance numbers, and, most importantly, healthier, happier teens."

Explanation:

I doubted it at first because it sounds too repetitive with sentence 13, but it makes more sense than the other options and relates to the argument and establishes a unified end as it summaries that more schools should have a later start time to help students succeed academically and improve their general wellbeing.
