TO
lukranit [14]

Merciful over all his works, with good

Still overcoming evil, and by small

Accomplishing great things, by things deemed weak

Subverting worldly strong, and worldly wise

By simply meek; that suffering for Truth’s sake

Is fortitude to highest victory,

A man should be worldly wise but never weak.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the excerpt which has been given above, it talks about the strength of a man. According to this, a man should be very strong, he should not be weak. But this does not mean that he can speak without thinking what to speak and can speak what ever he wants to.

A man should think before he speaks. He should be very wise while choosing his words but this does not mean that he should not show his strength through words.

Which response best explains how author Mark O’Mara aims to improve society in the article "Gun Debate? What Gun Debate?"
wariber [46]

Answer:

D- O’Mara puts statistics about gun deaths in a new light in order to shock readers into acknowledging the devastation of gun violence.

Explanation:

In the news article "Gun Debate? What Gun Debate?", Mark O'Mara presents a factual and insightful account of how the freedom to possess guns has led to numerous deaths in and around the country, especially among the younger generations. This 'gun culture' has allowed easy access to the weapon which also became one of the major leading causes of deaths such as the school shootings.

The article gave a statistical report on how much American youths have been killed due to this easily accessible freedom. Even though there are numerous ways of preventing these deaths, the government seems to find no plausible solution to stop the violence. He mentioned that <em>"there have been 74 shootings on or around schools or colleges in the year and a half since the Sandy Hook massacre. That's averaging one a week."</em> This is solid evidence of what the free access to guns has led to, and he is sure that there will be another school shooting shortly.

His went on to state that <em>"Suffering 30,000 gun deaths annually is not a reasonable sacrifice to make in order to blindly maintain our unrestricted gun culture, particularly when the rallying cry is an outdated reference concerning infringement which, known to anyone who has actually studied the Constitution and our founding fathers who drafted it, was a reference to the then-existing reality that young men, when called upon to defend the state and the laws of the state, were expected to provide their own arms." </em>

And so, <u>O'Mara's opinions on how to improve society can be best seen in his presentation of the statistics about gun deaths. He presents them in a new light, shocking readers into acknowledging the level of devastation that gun violence has on us.</u>
