Answer:

True, True, False, False, True

Explanation:

1. Restatement/synonym is one of the main types of context clues. 2. The meaning of many words can be inferred when one already knows the meaning of the roots and affixes that compose them. 3. While The Spy was the first to obtain wide recognition, William Hill Brown's The Power of Sympathy is considered to be the first American novel. 4. The statement before the semicolon is true, but the statement after the semicolon is false: adverb clauses in middle position should be enclosed by commas. 5. Split infinitives are advised only in certain situations, but should be mostly avoided.

Why does Wiesel end his speech with several questions?
SIZIF [17.4K]

D. To leave unanswered questions for the audience to think about


The questions leave the audience to come up with their own answers. However, the way the questions are asked he is guiding the audience to have similar answers. If we look at the other options, it is almost easier to eliminate the other options to verify that we are correct. Option A talks about a warm comfortable feeling. However, Wiesel does not want to leave the audience feeling warm and comfortable. He wants the audience to have a reaction to the horrors and injustices being done in the world. He no longer wants people to be indifferent to human suffering. Option B mentions are religious plea...there is no religion in his questions. Option C is about him directly stating his opinion. Questions are not direct statements...this is wrong. Option D is the only valid choice.

They change on the inside. You could say they have all been tamed, and they have all learned how to see in the best, most important ways. They are able to separate the important from the unimportant, and they have made new friends.
