Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below: President George W. Bush’s speech to

the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike. Which answer is a complete and correct summary of this part of the speech?
Breaking up a terrorist organization doesn’t necessarily destroy them completely.

There is better intelligence now about terrorism, thanks to modern surveillance techniques.

Many terrorists have worked extremely hard to get deadly weapons to use in warfare.

Based on your reading of both versions of Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death,” how do the differences in punctuatio
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

In the first version of the poem, the dashes connect different sections, perhaps to reflect that the events or images described are taking place in quick succession. The dashes might also signify abrupt shifts of thought or the unpredictability of human life.

The version with the dashes seems to have an uneven rhythm, with pauses and breaks; the version with commas, semicolons, and periods lacks this effect, and it sounds flatter than the other version.

In the revised version, the poem ends with a period instead of a dash, again changing the interpretation of the poem: the dash suggests that something is to follow, while a period suggests closure or finality.

Dickinson also capitalizes seemingly minor words, such as Recess, Ring, and Gown. Perhaps she uses this form of capitalization to emphasize the words' symbolic significance or the images they create. When the capitals are removed, the symbolism in the poem seems weaker.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Both of the authors use non-English words in their writing. According to the content of the paragraphs, these words are associated with Mexican and German heritage. Some examples of these words that we can see in the two passages are: pachuco, oom-pah, and gordita.

Figurative language is also present in the passages. For example, we see personification used when the trees are described as 'American' and they also dangle their branches as if they were arms.

Marysya12 [62]

The phrase "we'll head north again, in other words, to the land of sensible people" shows that the entire venture, planned by the Professor and the Captain was not wise. It has a critical tone.

<h3>Meaning of the Phrase</h3>

The phrase above was uttered by the Canadian in the book, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas Revised" By Jules Verne. He meant that the venture which they had undertaken was fruitless and unwise.

He criticized the journey because at that time the Nautilus was stuck in the ice and could no longer move forward.
