The essence of cool
Duke Ellington called Billie Holiday "the essence of cool," a reference to her equipoise in performance. One of the most influential jazz vocalists of all time, Holiday had a controlled emotional power that transformed even trite ballads into romantic short stories.

Answer: She is referencing her father. The song reminded Holiday of her father .

Explanation: When Holiday heard the lyrics, she was deeply moved by them — not only because she was a Black American but also because the song reminded her of her father, who died at 39 from a fatal lung disorder, after being turned away from a hospital because he was a Black man.

If someone could read this and tell me the mood and where u got it and some context clues ide really appreciate it :)
coldgirl [10]
The article is a argumentative tone/mood. Evidence of this is when the author wrote "NASA’s space program is worth preserving at any cost."That shows how they personally believe that it is worth preserving and that they’re trying to prove their opinion is valid. Also when the author says"It is impossible to list all the benefits of a thriving space program." The author has a strong opinion that they believe which makes it argumentative.

Which sentence is correctly punctuated?
Alexxx [7]
The sentence that is correctly punctuated is: Corey Windsor, the boy in the white shorts, will be playing on the tennis team this spring. The correct answer is option C. This sentence contains an appositive phrase. An appositive phrase consists of words that describes or renames the noun beside it. Appositive phrases are often set off from the main sentence with the use of commas, because these are only added information.
