Read the excerpt from Walden. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the la

ke, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled. These small waves raised by the evening wind are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface. How does the excerpt support Thoreau’s view on solitude?

Thoreau uses the description of the movement of the trees and the serenity of the lake to support the idea that true reflection is achieved through solitude, ideally while in nature. Thoreau believes that a oneness with nature and with the self are essential for becoming a more enlightened person, and that solitude is key ingredient for this. Thoreau describes the serenity of the lake and its distance from the storm, much as he would describe the serenity of the mind when far from the hustle and bustle of society.

inessss [21]

Pamphlets like Common Sense and The Crisis #1 were published with the intention of influencing public opinion in favor of the very divisive cause of American independence from the British Crown. thus option B is correct.

<h3>What is the Thomas Paine crisis' major argument?</h3>

The colonists are urged by Paine to place a high value on victory and the freedom that follows because "the harder the battle, the more wonderful the triumph"—"what we gain too cheap, we esteem too cheaply," he observes, and "it is dearness only that gives everything its value." No. 1 crisis

It is crucial to keep in mind that many residents of the American colonies believed themselves to be primarily British.

Declaring the necessity for independence was viewed by many in the Colonies as treason. These pamphlets contributed to the debate and persuaded people of something that had previously been unheard of. A PR effort was required to increase American support for the revolution.

Read the passage.
Crazy boy [7]

I would have to say that the best way to revise sentence four is by changing "aren't" and "they're" to "are not" and "they are."

"Argue" works better than "fight."

Deleting the entire sentence would remove the transition into cost efficiency of the tablets.

And moving the sentence to the end would place the transition to cost efficiency in the wrong place.
