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.

Read the quoted sentence. Revise it and justify your correction.: “Dealing with gossip in the office is as easy as keeping all t
MrMuchimi
This sentence is messy, as well as a run-on. Here's a revised version:

"It becomes easy to gossip among the office, but remember; it is just as easy to keep it a secret!"

There is proper punctuation added to make it easier to read. It also adds personality and emotion to the sentence. Try reading the two aloud and compare them. You can make changes to it if you feel it necessary.

Which sentence is constructed so that the modifier clearly indicates that John works seven days a week?
denis23 [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

The sentence which is constructed so that the modifier clearly indicates that John works seven days a week is

Option B: John works even on weekends.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The correct sentence that shows that John works 7 days a week is Option B.  

In Option A, the words "Even works" means that John will also perform many other chores other than working on weekends. This doesn't specifically mean that John has been working all days in a week. It means that he may or may not work but he had some other chores to do. Therefore, it is incorrect.

Option C says that ‘’Even John works on weekends’’ which means that there are people other than John, who also work on weekends. So, this is also incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is Option B.
