Answer

Hi,

In the allegory of the cave Plato tries to tell us that human can think, speak and do a lot of other things with no awareness of  true realm of these forms.

Explanation

In the allegory of the cave the prisoners can only see and hear shadows and echoes produced by objects which are invisible to them. In this case, they can mistake appearance for reality. This is to mean they will take the shadows to be real not knowing real causes of those shadows. The meaning is that terms used in our language are not names of physical objects that we see but names of things we can not see, but only grasp with our minds.

Hope this helps!

What were the major tenets of john f. kennedy's presidential platform?
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The major tenets of John F. Kennedy's presidential platform were the following.

One of the most important tenets was "get America moving again." This was an important tenet of his platform because Kennedy considered that the Republicans and former President Eisenhower could not do much against the Soviet Union in the Cold War, the arms race, and the space race. Kennedy acknowledged that the US was behind the USSR in the space race and something had to be done, and quickly.

Another important factor of Kennedy's platform was the issue of civil rights, which Kennedy openly supported and gained the sympathy of many voters from African Americans and other minorities.

Why did Allan Bakke file a lawsuit?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The correct answer is D. He felt he was denied admission to school based on race.

Explanation:

Allan Bakke, a white male, applied multiple times to be admitted at a medical school; however, he failed every time. Due to this, in 1974 Bakke decided to sue the University of California (the last institution he applied to) arguing he had been discriminated based on race because some minority students had lower scores than him, and they were admitted due to race quotas. This case ended with the decision of the Supreme Court that forbade racial quotas, ordered the admission of Bakke, but still allowed the race to be considered as part of admissions. According to this, the correct answer is "He felt he was denied admission to school based on race."
