Answer:

The writer used the image of a "fish" in describing how the prisoner was being held by the guards.

The guards were holding him in a grip, making sure that he doesn't escape. This situation is similar to that of a fisherman who catches a slippery fish and tries to hold it for fear that it slips back into the water.

Explanation:

"A Hanging" is an essay written by George Orwell. It portrays <u>how a criminal is being executed</u> under the "British Police" in Burma. Burma was conquered by Britain for more than 62 years.

The writer uses mostly "visual images" in describing and explaining how the guards held the prisoner. For example, he described <em>how tall the Indians who guarded the man were. </em>He also described <em>two of them carrying bayonets and rifles</em> and mentioned the detailed process of taking him to the execution area.

What led to the beginnings of the civil rights movement during the Progressive Era?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

(D)  Most white reformers believed racially-motivated violence was acceptable.

Explanation:

The Progressive Era occurs during 1890 to 1920. During this era, there were efforts to reform many aspects of the society - alcohol drinking, political corruption, and even banking systems. However, providing equal rights to African Americans and other non-whites were not a primary concern for White Americans during this era. The Jim Crow law, for example, was enacted during this era.

During this time African Americans still struggle to have equal rights to their White counterparts and suffering, making the right option either (A) or (D). However, (A) is too generic to be a specific cause of the civil rights movement during the Progressive Era - the best answer would be (D) instead, since during this time, lynching was still a very prominent occurrence.
