Read this passage from the Declaration of Independence. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should

not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. The English spoken in 1776 is considered Late Modern English, but some differences between Jefferson's usage and our own are evident. What archaic expression does he use and how would you word the phrase in correct contemporary English?
English

"My teacher hath shewn the class how to divide fractions."
"Doing my chores without being asked hath shewn that I can be responsible."

The phrase "hath shewn" isn't one that we typically hear in conversations or see in writing anymore, right? <em />In the passage above, "hath" is a conjugation of the verb "to have" that is not used anymore. For <em>I, we, </em>and <em>ye "</em>they have" would be used. For <em>thou<u /> </em>(now we use "they"), the word <em>"</em>hast"<em> </em>would be used. When using the conjugation for <em>he, she, </em>or <em>it, </em>the word "hath" was used. <em>Shewn</em> is a former spelling of the word "shown" that we use today. <em />If Jefferson were to write this passage incorrect contemporary English, instead of "hath shewn", he would write "has shown".

How dose the author of passage 2 BEST convey the point of view that personality development is extremely complex
quester [9]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The author may have presented that the development of personality is complex, showing how there are many elements acting in this development and countless elements that can modify this development at any time. To illustrate this, the author can make a comparison between personality development and a complex system, such as the development of a plant or an embryo for example.
