Answer:

The complete sentences are:

According to Paine, the government of Great Britain will bequeath nothing that will endure to the colonists.

He also implies that the posterity of any nation has the right to blame their predecessors for their suffering.

Explanation:

The meaning of the word bequeath is to leave something after your death in a literal definition, then in the excerpt, it means that Great Britain won't leave anything of value to the colonist after they're gone.

The meaning of the word posterity in a literal way is the descendants in a family, then in here, it is mention that future generations will live in the place that their predecessors have created and will have the right to blame them if these conditions are not good.

I am just a year older than you, and I have dealt with all of the bullyings I can handle and more. One thing you can do is be apart of a group instead of putting yourself on your own where it is easier to get targeted. Talk to an adult if it keeps happening. Something I did was talk to everyone in each class (unless you are the same people all day) and evaluate who would be a good friend. If they come off as sweet but show malice to others, avoid them. Also, avoid people who come off as disrespectful to their elders. They will only end up being the one doing something wrong and pinning it on you. message me if you want to talk about any specifics because I can help with tons of situations. if you need someone to vent it to you can talk to me! ;)

Moral of the big story by george loveridge​
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

We should not be so desperate to achieve our aims that we follow the wrong route.

Explanation:

Ernie is a character in the story who wanted to be a successful reporter. In his quest to write the big stories, he flouted the requirement of transparency and honesty in reporting. When John Vollmer a soldier drowned in the river, Ernie disguised himself to obtain information about him from his parents. He was not transparent in his investigation.

A guilty conscience would later make him to stealthily return the photo he collected from the parents of the deceased and run away. His desperation made him not to follow the right guidelines in reporting and the consequence of that was a bad conscience.
