A count done by the city building commission reported that by the end of 1871 there were over 6,000 wooden shanties, 2,000 solid

wood-frame buildings, and 500 structures of brick or stone already up or nearing completion. No wonder historian Alfred T. Andreas seemed overwhelmed when he reported: "It [was] common to see ten or a dozen or fifty houses rising at once; but when one looks upon, not a dozen or fifty, but upon ten thousand houses rising and ten times that number of busy workmen coming and going, and listens to the noise of countless saws and hammers and chisels and axes and planes, he is bewildered."

Answer:

C. People often become confused when a city changes extremely quickly.

Explanation:

The statement that best reflects the theme of this paragraph is that people often become confused when a city changes extremely quickly because in the paragraph it is mentioned that Alfred T. Andreas seemed overwhelmed and bewildered when he reported the big amount of structures that were being built. From this, you can inferred that people were confused about the changes.

The other options are not right because the paragraph doesn't talk about negative consequences and it doesn't mention a disaster or a negative event.

Which option was used to revise this ​sentence? You should stand up for your rights. Stand up for your​ rights! A. reversed the
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The option used to revise this sentence was C. changed to a​ question, exclamation, or command.

Explanation:

The original sentence, "You should stand up for your rights," is conveying a suggestion. By using "should", the speaker is presenting his opinion, but not in an imperative manner. It's as if he said, "It would be good if you did this. But, whether you do it or not, it is your decision."

The revised sentence, "Stand up for your rights!", is in the imperative mood, meaning it conveys a command, an order. Unlike the original sentence, this one eliminates the suggestion of a course of action. Instead, it urges the listener to do it, to obey. A sentence in the imperative mood does not need to present a subject– it is inferred that it is the second person. It commonly begins directly with the base form of the verb; the exclamation mark is an indicative of urgency.

When reading William Shakespeare's plays, it's important to remember that these plays are meant to be watched. His audiences may
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

   Shakespeare used literary devices such as iambic pentameter, rhyme, and puns to appeal to his diverse audience. During the Elizabethan Era, yeomen or laborers (people at the bottom of the social class) may have not necessarily understood how stressed and unstressed syllables work, but they would hear the emphasis and pay attention to the stressed words. Shakespeare purposefully highlighted words that would create a theme, ensuring that both levels of his audience would see the message in his plays. Therefore, these tools show Shakespeare's creativity and skill, but they also help to establish themes.
