What the author's immediate purpose in writing "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" most likely was A. to persuade readers about the unjust treatment of African Americans.
Maybe at the time people didn't think they were treating African Americans unjustly. Well, the author wanted to make them know that what they were doing is wrong and they should change it.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The author's immediate purpose in writing "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" was to persuade readers about the unjust treatment of African Americans.

Explanation:

The author of this speech was Frederick Douglass, an abolitionist, speaker, writer and statesman who after escaping slavery in Maryland, became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining prestige by his oratory and critical writings against slavery.

In this speech, he makes an analysis of the constitutional basis of slavery in the United States, establishing that the guarantees of the Constitution, the very basis of American society, were an insult to the African-American population, since the rights enunciated in there were not available for them.

It tells, on the other hand, the unfair and unequal treatment of African-Americans, both from the government and from society itself.

Select from the drop-down menu to complete the sentence with parallel structure.
velikii [3]

<span>I would rather spend my vacation in a big city than in a mountain cabin.</span>

Parallel structure refers to having the same structure or parts of speech in the same sequence and function. In the sentence, the parallel structure that needs to be paired with is “in a big city” which is a prepositional phrase; so, the choice that has the same format is “in a mountain cabin” which is also a prepositional phrase. “To go,” “staying,” and “being” are obviously different for they are either an infinitive phrase or participial phrase.

2. Relate a life experience wherein "bayanihan" is apparent in your community​
Radda [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Since the Coronavirus arrived in my community, me and people my age, we started going to the houses where the elderly lived alone, asking if they needed us to buy something from the market or the pharmacy for them. We did this, because the elderly are more vulnerable to coronavirus and it was extremely dangerous for them to go to the market, so we made ourselves available to practice this act of solidarity and help these people. With that I was able to perceive a strong presence of "bayanihan" in my community, since we were working in the name of solidarity and in unity.
