Hi! :)
Which pair of facts in Kevan’s notes provides specific evidence that Jefferson was influenced by ideas and events of his time?
I'd say C. “During the War of 1812, the Library of Congress was burned to the ground.” and “Jefferson offered his personal library to restock the Library of Congress.” is the correct answer!

An <em>asyndeton</em> is a sentence that doesn't have a conjunction where you would expect it to be. A <em>conjunction </em>is a word that can put two independent clauses (or complete sentences) together. Some examples of conjunctions include the words <em>and, </em><em>yet</em>, <em>but, or for,</em> and <em>nor.</em>
<em />
Examples of asyndetons include:
- The sun was shining; it was a beautiful day.
- The stadium was packed; it was the biggest football game of the year.
As you can see, the easiest way to create an asyndeton is to use a <em>semicolon</em>, (;) which can be used to replace a conjunction by connecting two complete sentences.

Three things that Frederick Douglas was deprived of as a child and his audience thinks every child should have are:
The presence of his mother: his master separated him from his mother just after his birth. Because of this, he did not develop familiar feelings towards his mother. He said that, when he knew she had died, she felt the same as if a stranger would have died.
Freedom: He explains how unnatural slavery is and the means by which slave owners distort social bonds and the natural processes of life in order to turn man into slaves.
Sense of personal history: By removing a child from his immediate family, slaveholders destroy his support network and the sense of belonging.
