Answer:

Jem is dumbstruck with the accuracy of his father's shot. Miss Maudie tells the children that their father used to be known as "One-Shot Finch," the best dead-shot in the county. She says he doesn't shoot unless he has to, because he feels that when he holds a gun, God has given him an unfair advantage over living beings. Scout wants to tell everyone in school about the incident, but Jem tells her not to. Jem explains that he wouldn't care if Atticus "couldn't do a blessed thing," because Atticus is a gentleman.

Explanation:

After Atticus shoots and kills a rabid dog in one shot, both Jem and Scout are astonished at their father's marksmanship abilities and wonder why he never bragged about his talent. Miss Maudie explains to the children that Atticus is an extremely humble man with a civilized heart. Miss Maudie then tells Jem and Scout, "People in their right minds never take pride in their talents" (Lee, 102). Later that day, Scout mentions to Jem that she cannot wait to brag about her father's abilities at school, and Jem tells her to not say anything. Jem recognizes that his father is a gentleman and wishes to follow in his footsteps by behaving like a humble individual, which is why he encourages Scout to not brag about their father's talents. Personally, I would be able to control my pride and emotions by staying silent about my father's marksmanship abilities. Maycomb is a small town, and the word would rapidly spread about Atticus's expert marksmanship. <u>I feel that it is always better to hear about someone's talent and abilities from a secondhand source than listen to a person brag about their own talents.</u>

Which group in nineteenth-century America would likely be the most receptive audience for "What to the Slave is the Fourth of Ju
NikAS [45]

The correct answer is D. Abolitionists

Explanation:

The speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" by a former slave, Frederick Douglas, focused on showing the Independence Day and its principles such as freedom or liberty in the U.S. did not protect slaves, and therefore the ideals held by many only applied to part of the population. This tried to show the audience the importance of ending slavery and providing slaves the freedoms white people had.

In this context, this speech would be supported by abolitionist (people that wanted to end slavery) and they would be more receptive to it because they supported the idea of providing freedom and protections to slaves and ending enslavement, which is the focs of the speech.

kiruha [24]
Having a special talent or ability that must be concealed, hidden, or refrained from for the safety of yourself or others is a downside of having an ability. Think Violet Parr in "The Incredibles." Her only goal is to enjoy her life and social interests, yet she is hiding an ability she hasn't had the chance to master and it is a social impairment.
