Answer:

D. All men, regardless of their backgrounds, could be successful in America.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. According to a different source, the complete question is the following:

Which statement best reflects the central idea of "An Excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt: An Intimate Biography"?

A. Only men born into educated families could be successful in America.

B. Only men with backgrounds similar to Lincoln's background could be successful in America,

C. Only men with backgrounds similar to Roosevelt's background could be successful in America,

D. All men, regardless of their backgrounds, could be successful in America.

In the text  “An excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt: An intimate biography,” we learn about Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President  of the United States. However, he is also remembered for various other reasons, such as his interests in science (particularly conservation, naturalism, biology, zoology and taxidermy) and his strong personality.

In the text, we learn that Roosevelt was able to achieve this life not because of privilege, but due to his hard work. He was a sickly child who suffered from poor health and asthma. Moreover, he was homeschooled in an irregular way. Nevertheless, his dedication, intelligence and hard work allowed him to succeed. This story indicates, according to the text, that all men could be successful in America, regardless of their background or upbringing.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

C). Exemplification.

Explanation:

'Exemplification' is demonstrated as the process of presenting an idea through examples or illustrations in order to make it more clear, understandable, and persuasive.

The given excerpt from Roosevelt's 1899 speech 'Strenuous life' uses the 'exemplification' method to represent his ideas more impactfully and convincingly to the audience. The use of various examples like 'worth your salt', 'wisely used leisure', etc. helps in clarifying his central idea behind this speech i.e. to show the benefits of a strenuous life not only on an individual but on the entire nation as it is the one 'we most need in this country, out of which reflects most honor upon the nation'. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

In 3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain the conflict in your Module One short story. Identify the conflict as internal or
kherson [118]

Answer and Explanation:

In Amy Tan's short story "Rules of the Game", the conflict is mainly external, man vs. man or, more specifically, daughter vs. mother. Waverly and her mother seem incapable of understanding each other's feelings and demonstrations of such feelings. That is made very clear toward the end of the story, when the mother proudly introduces Waverly to every one, even strangers, on the street. Waverly is a sort of child prodigy, a chess genius, and her mother can't help but display her. Waverly, however, does not enjoy being exhibited, reacting in a way that is disrespectful and offensive, in her mother's opinion.
