butalik [34]

Answer:

She developed hand gestures, to me it was almost a simpler version of sign language.

Select the most plausible reason why Jackson includes the following sentence in "The Morning of June 28, 1948": "I had written t
cluponka [151]

The answer is between B and D.

The 300 villages in the Lottery are blindly obedient to a tradition that is years and years old. Some things have been dropped and others added and nobody quite knows why.

The beginning of June 28 is just as serene. There are all sorts of interpretations, but nothing hides Jackson's anger about blind tradition that would even sacrifice young children and accept it as being a "good sport."

Tilly is the only one who is justifiably upset. The stones are going to be about her and they will kill her. Being stoned in the Bible was a slow painful process. You weren't killed by being hit. You died by suffocation because the weight of the stones eventually was greater than what the lungs could push up and let down so you could continue breathing.

This stoning is less biological and more what you think stoning should accomplish -- death by loss of blood.  It is a horrible death. Everyone seems to take it for granted -- everyone but Tilly who had to endure it.

If you were writing an essay, you could easily defend A, B and D.  My choice is D, but I wouldn't discount B at all.

King evokes what type of appeal in his audience by mentioning the various historical documents,
lesya [120]

Answer:

Logical appeal (Logos)

Explanation:

Logical appeal, also known as Logos is one of the three modes of persuasion that appeals to logic or reason. To support an argument using logos, facts, statistics, and history are referenced. In the Speech, "I have a Dream", by Martin Luther King, the Emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln which was declared 100 years ago, was referenced at the onset of the speech and this served as a logical appeal to history.  

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were also references to history aimed at supporting King's arguments.
