Answer:

C). The United States needs to grant its black population freedom and equality.

Explanation:

The central idea is illustrated as the main dominating idea that is central to the plot and surrounds the entire story. It primarily functions to unify the different elements of the plot together.

In the given excerpt from Frederick Douglass' "The Destiny of Colored Americans" reflects the central idea that 'the US needs to grant its black population with the rights of liberty and equality' as it is the major idea that dominates the passage throughout. It is reflected by Douglass' recurring descriptions that imply that 'the white man’s happiness cannot be purchased by the black man’s misery' and author urges that 'white and black "must fall or flourish together'.

The author suggests that the blacks too should be granted the rights of 'equality and liberty' so, they also would be able to contribute to the nation's growth which they(Americans) are wasting very year in a fit of their pride and folly'. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Imagine you are writing an argument to convince others that soda machines should be removed from all public buildings, including
Mazyrski [523]
It would be both the parents and the doctors. The schools are the ones who had the machines installed in the first place and the students are the ones who take the most kick out of it.

Doctors, as we know, are experts in health and living conditions, which means that they know it’s a health risk for those who tend to consume sodas more often then they should.

Parents only want the best for their children and soda/pop are considered bad for the digestive system if consumed in massive amounts. Because parents don’t have complete control on their children at school, the freedom of course the child has gets exploited.

Hope this helped!
