NeX [460]

Answer:

Laura Brawysh, who lives in a New Jersey nursery home, is one of the country's oldest survivors of the virus.

Explanation:

We can determine from the question, that we're to order the words to form a coherent sentence.

Start the sentence with the word 'Laura' and end the sentence with the word with the period ('virus'). Laura is suppose to be in upper case in the question above. A comma is written after the full name as a comma could be seen after 'Brawysh' and another comma could be seen after 'home' in the question.

Laura Brawysh, who lives in a New Jersey nursery home, is one of the country's oldest survivors of the virus.

Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. What inference, or conclusion, can you draw from this passag
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

A. is incorrect as: "such persons of suitable conditions will be received into the armed service of the United States," essentially saying that blacks will be accepted into the army.

B and D are not related to the passage at all, really.

So why would B be correct?

Slaves have military importance because they could be placed in critical positions such as "garrison forts, positions, stations, etc."

Lincoln says that freeing the slaves will be "an act of justice" out of "military necessity."
