Answer:
Every four years the American people choose a new president, and 1988 is one of those years.
Explanation:
A fact is quite simply something that has been proven to be true.
The line from President Reagan's address at Moscow State University that is a fact is <u>Every four years the American people choose a new president, and 1988 is one of those years.</u>
Truly, every four years, the Americans cast their votes to choose a new president because they function as a democratic system of government where the citizens have the power to select their leaders.
This is a personal question. I will answer below according to the word that was unfamiliar to me, but feel free to add to the answer in case there were more for you.
Answer and Explanation:
The word that I found unfamiliar and whose meaning I did not know at first was "behest". I had never seen that word before. To understand its meaning, I looked for context clues. <u>The rest of the sentence in which "behest" appears functions as a clue to finding its meaning. It says that, at a person's behest, something happened: "the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself. . ." As soon as I read this part, it made me think of the word "command." For instance, the sentence "At the general's command, the troops advanced" has a similar connotation to the one with "behest".</u>
To confirm my assumptions, I looked the word up online and found it indeed means "order" or "command".
The word empty as an over whelming negative connotation when you are feeling empty you are typically in a lowered state, and or sad/depressed.
The line "Clear was the light of loveliness / That<span> lit her face like rain;" is an example of the use of the figurative language which is Simile. In this line, the "light" of loveliness which lit her face is being compared to the rain. A Simile is a figurative language that compares two different things using the words "like" or "as...as". </span>
