These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the serv

ice of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph...Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but ‘to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,’ and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious, for so unlimited a power can belong only to GOD.
What is the main idea of this passage?
A) Taxes are bad.
B) God is all powerful.
C) America has a chance at independence.
D) Now is the time to rise up against Britain.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The passage is encouraging strong and persistent resistance against what the author perceives to be unjust tyranny. Taxes and God are mentioned, but they are secondary topics within the main idea that British authority must be resisted.

Option C is inadequate because the paragraph really says nothing about the chances of independence, nor does it focus on probability. Rather, the context of the passage relays and urgent need to resist tyranny for a greater cause and noble end.

Lola Ridge
Natali [406]

Answer:

Lola Ridge's life in New York as a working immigrant was a strong influence on her writing.

Explanation:

Based on the biography and the poem, we can see that Ridge's life in New York as a working immigrant heavily influenced her writing, which she became best known for.

She did not begin writing about immigrants because it was interesting. The lives of immigrants were not easy, and their struggle is what inspired Lola Ridge.

She was a well-known author, and the fact she changed her name didn't influence her career.

She didn't become a painter and activist because her writing about people's rights didn't sell. In fact, her writing is what she is best known for.

All of this makes the second statement the correct one.

This is for my workbook. Do you think "America the Beautiful" should be our national anthem? Why or why not?
timama [110]

Answer:

No because for as I have been alive, when I think of America, I think of our original anthem. At a school event, or a sports game, we play that anthem to honor our country. To change the anthem would to be like changing the flag. It is changing who we are and what our country stands for.

Match the definition to the term.
Ivan

Answers + Explanation:

1 - D (They are called indefinite because there is no clearly defined antecedent).

2 - E (While they look exactly like reflexive pronouns, intensive pronouns do not affect the meaning and are only used for emphasis).

3 - G (Interrogative sentences or phrases are, simply put, questions).

4 - B (Adjectives, i.e., noun-modifiers that can also be used as pronouns, e.g. "this" is an adjective in "take this bag" and a pronoun in "take this").

5 - A (<em>Each other</em> and <em>one another</em> are the only reciprocal pronouns in English and you use them when an action is mutual).

6 - C (Identifying relative pronouns is essential to understand relative clauses).

7 - F (You make a compound pronoun by adding -self to the object pronoun when the subject of an action and the object are the same).
