Answer:
D, Informative
Explanation:
The passage above is not humorous, as it is not written to be a comediacal passage. It is also not self-pitying, because the author isn't moping about what they don't have. Lastly, it isn't a forgiving tone, as the author was not directly involved in the story being told, and so they had no one to forgive for anything.
Answer:
A. The South seceded because it felt Lincoln would abolish slavery.
B. South Carolina seceded because southern states felt that Lincoln had not won the southern election and was not their true leader.
Explanation:
I could not find the article however these should be the answers.
President Lincoln was a Republican which was an abolitionist party and he had made many speeches condemning slavery. When he was elected president therefore, Southern states believed that he would abolish slavery due to his opposition to it.
The South could not accept this and also believed that Lincoln was not a President of the nation as he didn't win many votes in the South. This prompted South Carolina to declare secession and they were followed by other Southern states.
Answer:
I really liked this question. This gives me a lot to think about.
Explanation:
It depends on what age you are and if you are presently experiencing the hardship. If you are very young or very old, than it is my belief that people will pity you more than believe in you. If you are between 25-50 years old, I believe that people will expect more from you, and pity you less. If you had hardships in your past, people will expect more of you now, because you have gained form your experience. If not, they will not have as much confidence or expectations of you.
Headings and subheadings in a text are used to organize the text neatly, and to have the reader better understand what you are talking about.
Word choice is used to get a point across. So if you look a choice A, the author definitely does not feel that the manufacturers are striving to provide COMPLETE information (or there wouldn't be the questions). I would say the same thing for D, making that an incorrect answer. Looking at B and C, the author does use exaggeration in personification, but he doesn't mention sales. He does however set a frustrated tone and touches on confusion of the customers, so I feel that C is the best answer here.
