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?

"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".

Answer:

B. Cause and effect

Explanation:

The given paragraph is structured as a <em>cause and effect</em> paragraph. This type of paragraph explains why something happens. The occurrence that takes place is defined as the effect and the thing that causes it is the cause.

Here, we have two groups of students who perceived the same lecture in two completely different ways. This is the effect. What caused this is the way the lecturer was introduced. The students' expectations (cause) affected their opinion on the lecture, the final result (effect).
