Read the following excerpt from "Resistance to Civil Government" in which Thoreau argues that a person should disobey the govern

ment when its laws go against his or her conscience:
I have paid no poll-tax for six years. I was put into a jail once on this account, for one night; and, as I stood considering the walls of solid stone, two or three feet thick, the door of wood and iron, a foot thick, and the iron grating which strained the light, I could not help being struck with the foolishness of that institution which treated me as if I were mere flesh and blood and bones, to be locked up.
How does this excerpt best support Thoreau's argument?
A. It uses pathos to create a sense of fear of the government.
B. It uses his history of disobeying the government to illustrate logos.
C. It uses his personal experience of civil disobedience to build ethos.
D. It uses parallelism to show his disdain for being jailed for a minor crime

Rina8888 [55]
How do those lines apply to your life? This isn't a question that has one correct answer, but it could be figured that you eat bread right? If you're trying to be philosophical about it, you could talk about how the thunder accompanies the rain and plants are fed by rain, you are fed by plants therefore you shouldn't fear the thunder. This question is entirely up for interpretation.

How are the sentence patterns for asking questions different from the sentence patterns for making statements?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

A) Questions usually start with a helping verb or adverb.

Explanation:

The sentence structure in statements and questions is different. In the case of statements, the main elements (subject, verb and direct object) must be organized in the following way:

  • Subject + Verb + Direct Object: John drives a motorcycle.

Statements can also include indirect objects, adverbs, modal and auxiliary verbs, among other elements.

On the other hand, questions are organized in two ways, depending on the type of question:

  • YES/NO questions:

Verb + Subject + Complement:

Is she your sister?

Modal/Auxiliary verb + Subject + Verb:

Will you go to the party? Do you like it? Can you answer the phone?

  • WH- questions:

WH word + Verb + Subject:

What is this? Where are you?

WH word + Modal/Auxiliary verb + Subject + Verb:

Where will she go? What are you doing? What did you do last night?
