Eugene and Elena are different because she is a Puerto Rican girl who lives in a large apartment complex and he is a white boy from Georgie who has just moved into the house next door. she has a dark complexion, while he has blonde hair and glasses. There doesn't seem to be any reason why these two would become friends, except that they are both minorities in a mostly African American public school in New Jersey. At school, both Elena and Eugene receive nicknames from the other students: "Skinny bones" and "Hick." They also find out that they both like to read, so they start reading certain books together and talking about them.

Answer:

B.Gallaudet University should appoint a person who is deaf as its next president.

Explanation:

The author's thesis is best summarized in option B. The first evidence where the author claims that a deaf person should be the president of Gallaudet University is when he mentions that disabled people have the right to integration and involvement in society.

The second piece of evidence that supports the thesis is when the author says, "It [Gallaudet University] is held in the highest regard by deaf people throughout the United States and the world." Claiming that it should be an example for the nation and the world that the president of such a prestigious university has a disability. The last piece of evidence that supports his thesis is in the fifth paragraph "Gallaudet has a responsibility to set an example and thus to appoint a President who is not only highly qualified but who is also deaf."

Read each sentence, and determine whether it contains parallel structures.
OLEGan [10]

The first and the third sentences contain parallel structures. Parallel structure, or parallelism, is the repetition of the same grammatical structure or form within a sentence, so it becomes more balanced, and, therefore, more readable and clear to understand.

In the first sentence, the parallel structure has been used in the comparison: "... would make war <em>rather than let</em> the nation survive and accept war<em> rather than let</em> it perish..."

In the third sentence the same grammatical form has been used too: "<em>all dreaded it </em>(1) <em>all sought to</em> avert <em>it </em>(2)."

<h3>What is the paradox in this text?</h3>

The author has a contradictory opinion about war.
