Answer:

B. Putting an end to slavery once and for all.

Explanation:

The text that the question is based off is the memoir "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass", Chapter XI  Part I.

<em>"I would allow myself to suffer under the greatest imputations which evil-minded men might suggest, rather than exculpate myself, and thereby run the hazard of </em><u><em>closing the slightest avenue</em></u><em> by which a brother slave might clear himself of the chains and fetters of slavery."</em>

The phrase "<em>closing the slightest avenue</em>" in relation to the sentence it is on could refer more to the ending of slavery and that too, not temporary but more on the permanent scale. Considering he was talking about being a "<em>hazard [for] a brother slave</em>" clearing himself, the narrator could be referring to the idea of putting an end to slavery altogether.

They didn't reach an agreement
Ann [662]

Answer:

They didn't reach an agreement <u><em>on account of</em></u> their differences.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the necessary word(s) to be put in the blank will be suggestive of the 'cause' of the first part of the sentence. While the first part contains the effect' of the 'cause', completing the whole sentence depends on the part or parts of the phrase needed.

The given options "on account of", "due", "because" or "owing" are all valid to be used in the given sentence. But considering the form and structure of the sentence, the blank will be filled by "on account of".

To use the other options, we would need to add more to the already given words. We cannot simply write "they didn't reach an agreement due/owing/because their differences." For "due" and "owing", it needs "to" to make the sentence whole. Likewise, "because" requires "of" to be usable. If we add these words to the already given words, then the sentence can become

they didn't reach an agreement due to/ because of/ owing to their differences. But these options are wrong as the words are incomplete.

Thus, the correct answer is "on account of".

<em><u>They didn't reach an agreement on account of their differences.</u></em>

Hi guys what is a railway cottage and how would you analyse railway cottage<br> Thank you
prisoha [69]

Answer:

railway cottages" are small workers' houses, originally built by railway companies for their employees (most likely in Victorian times). They tend to be near railway stations (but not in them) and railway lines, not surprisingly, and may even have a street address such as "3 Railway Cottages". They will all have been sold off on the private market, in most cases a long time ago, or bought up as social housing by local governments, so anyone may now live in them.
