Read this passage: I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind. I

refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the "isness" of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal "oughtness" that forever confronts him. I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.Martin Luther King Jr., Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 1964Why does King repeat the phrase "I refuse to accept" in this passage?
A.To establish his credibility as an expert on the subject B.To ask the audience to consider their own feelings C.To emphasize the overall point of the paragraph D.To provide the audience with facts and evidence

Answer:

C. To emphasize the overall point of the paragraph.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, King repeats the phrase "I refuse to accept" at the beginning of each new sentence. This phrase is used to indicate that what he will mention afterwards is a claim that he does not believe in, and that he intends to fight against. By repeating the same words over and over again, King is able to give more weight to his words and to encourage people to question the same things he questions. More importantly, the phrase allows King to emphasize the overall point of the paragraph.

olasank [31]

The answer would be: D) It has interpreted equal protection as applying to different groups of people.

The Equal Protection clause is the last part of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the USA:

<em>"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." </em>

Hope this answer helps you:)!

High rates of species extinction caused by human activity have taken place at which of the following times in Earth's history?I.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

At the end of the permian period

Explanation:

The Permian–Triassic extinction event, also known as the P–Tr extinction, and as the Great Dying, formed the boundary between the Permian and Triassic geologic periods, as well as between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, approximately 252 million years ago. It is the Earth's most severe known extinction event, with up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species becoming extinct. It was the largest known mass extinction of insects. Some 57% of all biological families and 83% of all genera became extinct. Because so much biodiversity was lost, the recovery of land-dwelling life took significantly longer than after any other extinction event, possibly up to 10 million years. Studies in Bear Lake County, near Paris, Idaho, showed a relatively quick rebound in a localized marine ecosystem, taking around 2 million years to recover,suggesting that the impact of the extinction may have been felt less severely in some areas than others.
