1 answer:

6 0

Thoreau was greatly opposed to military efforts such as the Mexican-American War but he was not inherently a pacifist. He believed it was in an individuals rights to choose not to support a war effort that they believed to be unjust. Therefore, it could be argued that he would support an individuals war efforts if the war was believed to be just and valued for the people, but if not then he would not support a soldiers service to the country through the military.

Lena [83]

Answer: Choice C)

He wishes for the reader to have an emotional response to the people or events.

===================================================

Explanation:

Choice A is false because the events or people are real.
Choice B is true (the people and events are real), but it's not the reason why the writer would go for a poem. The writer could go for an essay if all they wanted to do was talk about the person or event.
Choice C is true and it's the answer. Poems provide an emotional response of some kind which allows people to connect better. This in turn allows people to remember the poem better, or remember the person/events better.
Choice D is false because choice A is false.

kolezko [41]

Answer:
________________________________________________________
"Brand B" costs 2 cents more per fluid ounce than "Brand A". and:

"Brand A" costs 2 cents less per fluid ounce than "Brand B" .
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________
Start with "Brand A" :
_________________________________________________
$ 1.28 / (8 fl. oz) = 1.28 ÷ 8 = 4/5 = $0.16 / fl. oz. ;

[ $0.16 per fluid ounce ] .
_________________________________________________
Now, "Brand B" :
_________________________________________________
$ 1.68 / (12 fl. oz.) = 7/50 = $0.14 / fl. oz.

[ $0.16 per fluid ounce]
__________________________________________________

So, "Brand B" costs more, per fl. oz., than "Brand A".
__________________________________________________

"Brand B" costs: 16 cents per fl. oz.

"Brand A" costs: 14 cents per fl. oz.
_______________________________________________________

16 cents − 14 cents = 2 cents .
_______________________________________________________
So,

"Brand B" costs 2 cents more per fluid ounce than "Brand A". and:

"Brand A" costs 2 cents less per fluid ounce than "Brand B" .
_______________________________________________________
