It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! T

he next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Almost all terrestrial species spend their entire lives within a narrow zone that extends from a few tens of meters above the to
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Hello, you didn't say what the task is, but I assume we have to choose the option that best describes the composition and the format of the excerpt from Douglas A Segar's <em>Introduction to the Ocean Sciences</em>. If so, I would choose D.

Explanation:

I chose D because the excerpt begins with the argument and continues with the conclusion, that is that "<em>terrestrial organisms are relatively easy to study</em>". Then, the study of terrestrial organisms are compared with the study of ocean life, that is not so easy due to its nature of being present "<em>throughout the depth of the ocean waters, and for several meters, or more, into the sediment.</em>" and it is not as easy to reach as the first one.

Which words or phrases contain allusions? check all that apply. canadians the streets of santa fe started over again maya angelo
ipn [44]

The words or expressions containing allusions are Canadians, the roads of Santa Fe, and Maya Angelou's books,as is additionally made sense of beneath.

<h3>What do you mean by allusion?</h3>

Allusion is a sort of metaphorical language we insinuate something when we notice it certainly. Allusion doesn't make sense of the importance or story behind it.

Assuming that a writer implies Maya Angelou's books, he is expecting that his peruser know who Maya Angelou was and what her books are about. In this way, he is making an understood notice to a celebrity.

The equivalent should be possible for occasions. On the off chance that a writer implies the roads of Santa Fe, he expects perusers realize what occurred in those roads. He doesn't need to expressly make sense of it.

For more information about allusion,refer the following link:

Are 'Resistant' and 'Yielding' synonyms, antonyms, or neither?
LekaFEV [45]
These are antonyms!! 

Resistant means that something can't affect it (the resistant object), or has a hard time affecting it. For example, water resistant shoes aren't easily affected by water; water cant pass through them as easily as non-water resistant shoes.

Yielding means that something is flexible or is influenced by another thing easily. For example, when you "yield" when driving, you are letting the other cars go before you; or, when an object "yields" to pressure, it is bending under pressure (though not quite breaking).

In summary: resistant means nothing can touch it, while yielding means that things easily affect it; thus, antonyms.
