Answer:
America is awash in ugly, hateful speech. White nationalists march defiantly, and their slogans are echoed in murderous rampages. Government officials revel in disparaging the very people they patrol. Many people—and I’m one of them—argue that the president’s rhetoric encourages this grotesque and shameful state of affairs even as he nominally condemns it. This has all led to more discussion about free speech and its limits.
Answer:
True. a rhetorical question is a question that doesn't require an answer, and usually when someone asks "You're kidding me?", or "Are you kidding me?" it's usually said in exasperation, where there is no answer required.
B) Irving is condemning the colonists’
mistreatment of others.
<span>We know the answer is not “A” because Irving
would, thus, need to be praising the devil since he attributes the persecutions
to the devil as the devil mentions he presides at the persecutions. We know the answer is not “C” because
superstition is not innately evil and is considered silly to some, and there is
nothing silly about the killing those found guilty during the persecutions of
the Quakers and Anabaptists. We know “D”
is not the answer because there is no mention as to how colonists view the devil.
There is mention of how the devil is
known in other countries; the only mention of the devil and the colonists is
how the devil mentions he presides at persecutions. Thus, we know that “B” is the best response because
to describe actions as those being watched over and encouraged by the devil is a condemnation
insinuating those taking part are accessories/accomplices to evil. </span>
