Read the excerpt from "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural ju

stice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? How does this rhetorical question contribute to the passage’s central idea? It encourages African Americans to discuss the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence. It reinforces the idea that the rights given to others are not extended to African Americans. It reveals that Douglass has an in-depth knowledge of the Declaration of Independence. It gives the rest of the speech importance by referring to a famous historical document.

The correct answer is B.

The rethorical question used in this excerpt from the speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” given by Frederick Douglass in 1852 serves to show African Americans how they are being denied the righ embodied in the Declaration of Independece.

It seeks to create awareness that, even though the Declaration of Independence declares that the rights should be applied to all, it is only the White Americans who enjoy and can fully enforce them.

miskamm [114]

Answer: A) After the ceasefire was declared, the soldiers were allowed to go home.

Explanation:

An independent clause is a clause that expresses a complete thought. It can stand on its own and still make sense. The independent clause in this example is "the soldiers were allowed to go home."

A subordinate clause, on the other hand, is a clause that does not express a complete thought. It cannot stand alone, because it has no meaning if not joined to an independent clause. "After the ceasefire was declared" is a subordinate clause.

All the other options contain two independent clauses - in option B, they are connected with a semicolon; in option C, with a conjunction "so"; in option D, with a comma and a conjunction "and."
