From the Supreme Court case Plessy V. Ferguson, 1896: It is true that the question of the proportion of colored blood necessary

to constitute a colored person, as distinguished from a white person, is one upon which there is a difference of opinion in the different states; some holding that any visible admixture of black blood stamps the person as belonging to the colored race (State v. Chavers, 5 Jones [N. C.] 1); others, that it depends upon the preponderance of blood ( Gray v. State, 4 Ohio, 354; Monroe v. Collins, 17 Ohio St. 665); and still others, that the predominance of white blood must only be in the proportion of three-fourths (People v. Dean, 14 Mich. 406; Jones v. Com., 80 Va. 544). But these are questions to be determined under the laws of each state, and are not properly put in issue in this case. Under the allegations of his petition, it may undoubtedly become a question of importance whether, under the laws of Louisiana, the petitioner belongs to the white or colored race. What point is made in this document regarding perception of a person's race?
A) It is best to define race in a very stringent way, to avoid confusion.

B) Nobody is in agreement about what race means, but everyone thinks it is important.

C) There is a general consensus that if a person appears black, he is black, and if he appears white, he is white.

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

The excerpt specifically says that what defines a person as being black "is a difference of opinion in the different states." In NC "any visible admixture of black blood" defines a person as a black person. In OH, "it depends upon the preponderance of blood. In Michigan and Virginia, "white blood must only be in the proportion of three-fourths".  This shows that there is not a best way to define race. Also, B is not correct because Michigan and Virginia use the same definition so they are in agreement at least. Option C is not correct because some states do not agree with this.

Answer:

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

The correct answer is Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person. The document points out three different ways in which one is determined to be white, each of them in contradiction to the others.

Read the sentence.
AveGali [126]

One way to vary the syntax of the text is to combine sentences since, in this way, your structures will be longer and more complex to follow. This could be done by means of links such as: however, in addition, therefore, etc. When using these words, you create semantic relations between the syntactic structures and make the reading process more difficult because, as I've I said, sentences become longer and therefore the reader has to keep more information in mind to follow the train of thought.

You could also vary the syntax by adding phrases or clauses. This option is similar to the previous one since it also refers to the complexity of the syntactic structures of the text.

Answer:

eads him to neglect his relationships with family and friends.

Explanation:

Hi. Although you have not introduced the book this question refers to, we can see from the context of the question and the answer options that you are referring to the book "Frankenstein."

"Frankenstein" was written by Mary Shelley and tells the story of how Victor Frankenstein, a scientist fascinated by the possibility of creating life, manages to create a living being and suffers several consequences for this creation. Victor had been interested in science since his adolescence, but that interest was so great that it left Victor completely obsessed with the possibilities that science offered. He began studying non-stop, cutting off contact with family and friends. His goal was to fully focus on the study of science and the possibility of creating a living being, specifically, a human being.
