Read the following excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's "Resistance to Civil Government."

English
1 answer:
I am Lyosha [343]3 years ago
6 0
I would say that Thoreau most clearly uses B. Parallelism. It is the use of grammatically similar structures. In this case, the parallelism is additionally underlined with the use of the same vocabulary. "<span>It not only divides States and churches, it divides families; ay, it divides the individual" - Thoreau uses clauses with predicates in simple present tense, and the same verb - to divide. </span>

Debora [2.8K]
Based on this excerpt, it is reasonable to conclude that neither twin could die because they were immortal gods. The excerpt tells us that none of brothers died, and also it points out that they are the creators that once stepped on separate paths. They are still alive, but not in the sense that we are used to think. Each one has its duty and now they both look at the world from different sides.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-cratic means "a type of government". So, we know that "autocratic" is a type of government.

We also know that "auto" means "self". If you put "auto" and "cratic" together, you get a "self type of government".

So, in the reading, we can say that "autocratic" is a rule where only one person carries all the power in the government, like a dictatorship. We can also tell that an autocracy is a negative thing, as people are afraid of the government and there is political unrest.

Hope this helps!
