Answer:

D. Impressive because of the recipients of her wealth

Explanation:

Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams, the second president of the United States, and the mother of John Quincy Adams, the sixth president.

The given quote is from an article Abigail Adams’ Last Act of Defiance written by Woody Holton. Among other things, it tells about Adams' will, where she left her fortune to her female relatives and servants. She didn't include any male relatives or servants, except for her two surviving sons, in the will. This is why the contents of this will were impressive, almost shocking. Her husband, John, could've ignored the will because it wasn't legally binding, but he did everything she had written there.

This is why the correct option is option D.

Which term describes the producers activity in this story ?

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

A. Gatekeeping

Explanation:

In the given text, the producer has to decide which segment to he should broadcast. A segment about lice is more fitting than the one about languages, and the producer chooses that one. By doing so, he is filtering the information and deciding what the public will have access to. That's what gatekeeping is. In this process, it's not only determined which information is selected, but what the content and nature of the messages will be, as well.

In this excerpt from Emmuska Orczy's novel The Scarlet Pimpernel, which line best represents an element of historical fiction? T

Ronch [10]

I believe it's this line - They were mostly fisher-folk who patronised Mr. Jellyband's coffee-room, but fishermen are known to be very thirsty people; the salt which they breathe in, when they are on the sea, accounts for their parched throats when on shore, but "The Fisherman's Rest" was something more than a rendezvous for these humble folk.

An essential element of historical fiction is that it is set in the past and pays attention to the manners, social conditions of that period.

Which would most likely improve the coherence of an essay?

Serhud [2]

The best choice would be A.

When writing the essay you want to convince the reader to agree with your point of view. By acknowledging any counter arguments and proving why they are wrong (or why your point of view is right) it can help the reader understand what you are trying to convey.

Hope this helps!! Good luck!
