Blackie is shown in this passage as influential girl because she is talking to all people in the group and they are listening to her. She is showing her authority over them which is a good character that leader of some group can have.

"We'll show him we don't take bribes" is showing us that she is unwilling to back down during some conflict and she would response to any uncomfortable reaction to her.

<u>Answer:</u>

The quotation above describes Blackie as a type of gang leader who is influential and unwilling to back down during conflict. So, the right answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Blackie, the gang leader is a character in the short story “The Destructors” by Graham Greene set at the backdrop of the WWII. T. is a member of a group of boys called "Wormsley Common Gang" which is led by Blackie.

In the beginning he is quiet and has no authority. But he becomes fascinated with a stately old house which has survived the bombings of WWII. He learns that it was built by Christopher Wren, a great British architect.

When T. is able to enter the house when its owner Mr Thomas is away for a holiday, he convinces the members of the gang of boys to destroy the house in a night. They plan to do it in a spectacular fashion. Even when the owner returns beforehand, they lock him up in the outhouse and execute their plan.

They do it so that Mr Thomas or whom they called as Old Misery, is left with nothing. Blackie during this mission becomes temporarily subordinate to T for being out-voted about the destruction of Mr Thomas' house but he regains his position at the end. He is described as a team player for whom the future of the gang matters the most.

What/where does the constitution give the president the diplomatic power?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hamilton, although he had expressed substantially the same view in The Federalist regarding the power of reception, adopted a very different conception of it in defense of Washington’s proclamation. Writing under the pseudonym, “Pacificus,” he said: “The right of the executive to receive ambassadors and other public ministers, may serve to illustrate the relative duties of the executive and legislative departments. This right includes that of judging, in the case of a revolution of government in a foreign country, whether the new rulers are competent organs of the national will, and ought to be recognized, or not; which, where a treaty antecedently exists between the United States and such nation, involves the power of continuing or suspending its operation. For until the new government is acknowledged, the treaties between the nations, so far at least as regards public rights, are of course suspended. This power of determining virtually upon the operation of national treaties, as a consequence of the power to receive public ministers, is an important instance of the right of the executive, to decide upon the obligations of the country with regard to foreign nations. To apply it to the case of France, if there had been a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, between the United States and that country, the unqualified acknowledgment of the new government would have put the United States in a condition to become as an associate in the war with France, and would have laid the legislature under an obligation, if required, and there was otherwise no valid excuse, of exercising its power of declaring war. This serves as an example of the right of the executive, in certain cases, to determine the condition of the nation, though it may, in its consequences, affect the exercise of the power of the legislature to declare war. Nevertheless, the executive cannot thereby control the exercise of that power. The legislature is still free to perform its duties, according to its own sense of them; though the executive, in the exercise of its constitutional powers, may establish an antecedent state of things, which ought to weigh in the legislative decision. The division of the executive power in the Constitution, creates a concurrent authority in the cases to which it relates.

Which sentence contains an example of hyperbole? Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that t
Svetradugi [14.3K]

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." (A) contains a hyperbole.

In literature, a hyperbole is a stylistic exaggeration. It is used to give a dramatic effect to a statement.

Here, the hyperbole is: "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe." There are of course prices that the U.S. are going to refuse to pay, burdens they will not afford to carry, etc., but by exaggerating these commitments, Kennedy sounds more resolute and more persuasive.
