(MC) Civil Disobedience Part 2: Thoreau's ideas had a profound effect on a man named Gandhi. Gandhi, was a leader in India who w

orked to end British rule. He led India to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. He fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. Like Thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. In India, Gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." He urged Indians to boycott British education systems and leave government jobs. The movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the British controlled government arrested him. After a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. He inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. On one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. This march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. Eventually India won independence from Britain, in large part because of Gandhi work. Gandhi's model of resistance and reform was creative, appealing, and successful. As a result, Dr. Martin Luther King looked to Gandhi when the time came to find a way to resist segregation in the South. The lunch counter protests, famous for the passive response to anger, and even violence, aimed to end the separation enforced by laws in some regions of the South. King also organized walks, marches, and bus rides that were meant to bring attention to the issues facing African Americans. These forms of protest were directly modeled on Gandhi's, but King took them straight to the source of oppression. Where Gandhi's protests created awareness and built momentum, King's protests were in the face of great hatred and fear. The passive, non-violent protests were ultimately effective, mainly because the passive response to violence cast the opposition as brutes. However, change came slowly and at the cost of many lives. King remained committed to peaceful protest, however, until his death. King learned from Gandhi, expanding on what worked, applying old techniques to a new problem. Gandhi owed his philosophy, in part, to a New England poet who loved the woods. Which of the following best explains how King's forms of protest built upon what Gandhi had done? (5 points)
(A) King gave protesters an alternative to being arrested.

(B) King made Gandhi's model more confrontational.


(C)King taught people how to resist more passively than Gandhi.


(D) King required protesters to endure brutality unlike those of Gandhi.

<span>(B) King made Gandhi's model more confrontational. 

The passage says that King took his protest straight to the source of oppression. This means that he and his protesters actively worked at the sites of oppression like lunch counters where African Americans were not allowed to be, or bus rides along the lines where African Americans were not allowed to travel, or marches to places where violence was being done. A result of this was that his protesters had to face more brutality. </span>

PASSAGE;
Korolek [52]

Answer:

C. Flying boats are larger than floatplanes, and unlike floatplanes, the entire fuselage can float.

Explanation:

Using process of elimination we know it cannot be D. That leaves us with choices A, B, and C.

Now we look at question B, it states that flying boats are floatplanes, which is not true. So we can eliminate choices B and D now.

Now we have A and C. We must choose the choice that BEST summarizes the author’s comparison of flying boats to floatplanes. A, HOWEVER states that floatplanes are larger than flying boats, which according to the passage (These seaplanes [flying boats] are usually larger and more stable on water than floatplanes are.) So now we can eliminate choice A, which leaves us with the most logical answer due to deductive reasoning, C. So therefore the answer must be C. Hope this helps.

Answer: Is deeply familiar with Shakespeare and his works.

Explanation:

The speaker was really convinced by the fact that England had serious issues related to equality. Age, race, gender, and nationality were the parameters on which the equality was compromised. The speaker allusion was capable of conveying a lot of information quickly, adding the layer of meaning to the text to be taught for the readers, with emotions and feelings.  He was able to compare the rioters were similar to the Shakespearean character.
