Part 1 Most people remember Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as reformers who practiced non-violent forms of protest and a

dvocacy. Both effectively changed the popular opinion about emotional issues for their countries and brought in a wave of change that was long overdue. But the practice of non-violent protest, or civil disobedience, started long before either Gandhi or King. It began with a quiet, shy poet who is best known for writing a lot about a pond. Henry David Thoreau lived from 1817 until 1862, mainly in the area of Concord, Massachusetts. The issue that would tear the country apart in the 1860s had already begun dividing the nation. Thoreau was only 14 when Nat Turner led the slave rebellion in Virginia and was later hanged. In his late 20s, Thoreau began speaking against slavery in public, echoing the voices of freedmen like Frederick Douglass and Lewis Hayden. Thoreau believed that a government that supported slavery was corrupt and immoral. He was also deeply suspicious of government. For these and other reasons, Thoreau refused to pay his poll tax for a number of years. The poll tax was a legal tax owed by every person. It was basically a tax on one's body. After not paying for years, he was at last arrested. He spent only one night in jail, however, as a relative paid the tax for him. He was reportedly furious that any tax was paid on his behalf. It was this experience that Thoreau wrote about in an essay called "Civil Disobedience." In this essay, he argued that being moral and just came before allegiance to government. He wrote “If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law." He also felt that voting was not enough to ensure that the right thing be done. He wrote that "even voting for the right is doing nothing for it… A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance…" He felt that one had a moral responsibility to resist unjust laws. Which line from Part 1 best explains Thoreau's message? Thoreau began speaking against slavery in public, echoing the voices of freedmen like Frederick Douglass He was reportedly furious that any tax was paid on his behalf It was this experience that Thoreau wrote about in an essay called "Civil Disobedience." He felt that one had a moral responsibility to resist unjust laws.

When doing your research on a topic, including research on a work of literature, you can cite from
daser333 [38]

Answer:

C) a blog site

Explanation:

When making citations based on research, there are some sources that can be cited but cannot be included in the Works Cited such as:

  • an interview that you conducted with the source.
  • an email message
  • a classroom lecture

The reasons are because they do not provide any valid means of recovering or verifying the information since most or all of them are personal communication that was spoken through word of mouth.

However, a blog site can be cited and included in Works Cited.

Read the sentence.
noname [10]

The answer is option B: abstract, singular, common.

The noun agreement is abstract because it conveys an idea, condition or characteristic rather than a concret object. It is also singular because it refers to one thing and in the example sentence it does not take the plural form. Finally, it is common because it does not apply to a specific person, place or thing, as in the case of proper nouns.
