<u>Answer:</u>

Two statements that best express the major themes of the short story "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston are options -

<em>D. The consequences of people’s actions eventually catch up with them, </em>

<em>and </em>

<em>E. Compassion has its limits and can vanish as a result of abuse. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

It’s true that consequences of one’s actions eventually catch up with him/her. Sykes got a snake to drive Delia out of the house but things ended up the other way round. The snake got out and bit Sykes which eventually killed him.

This is also true that compassion has its own limits and abuse can abolish it. Delia was compassionate towards Sykes. But it worn out due to years of abuse. The men sitting outside the store always spoke of how Sykes' abuse had changed Delia who was once the most beautiful girl in town. It’s seen at the end of the story that Delia had no compassion for Sykes and therefore, she didn’t help him when he was dying.

<span>D) The consequences of people’s actions eventually catch up with them. E)Compassion has its limits and can vanish as a result of abuse.

Option D is true because of the snake Sykes brings home to try and run Delia out of the house. The snake gets out and ends up biting him and killing him. His actions with the snake eventually catch him and kill him.
Option E is true as well. Delia once had compassion for Sykes. However, after years of his abuse Sykes has worn it out. The men sitting outside the store comment on how Sykes' abuse has changed Delia as she was once the most beautiful girl in town. Her compassion for Sykes at the end of the story is completely gone and she does not help him when he's dying.

Choose which statement CORRECTLY describes and amendment dealing with the presidency.
marshall27 [118]

The correct answer is The 25th Amendment sets the order of Presidential succession.

The 25th Amendment was adopted by Congress in 1967 to define presidential succession in emergencies, as a direct result of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in November 1963. In the hours after the attack, there was confusion about the severity of the injuries that ended up killing the president in Dallas. Under the amendment, the president may declare himself incapacitated or be declared as such by the vice president, provided that he, together with most cabinet members - eight ministers, determines that there is physical or mental disability. In this case, the vice president immediately takes over. But the amendment gives the president the right to resist removal by asking the two houses of Congress to vote. If the legislature does not confirm, by two-thirds of the vote, the president's incapacity, he can resume his post.

The 7th term of an A.P is '32' and its 13th term is 62. Find the A.P.​
taurus [48]

Answer:

An = a+ (n-1)d

Now, a7= a+6d = 32---------------(1)

a13= a+ 12d =62-------------------(2)

Subtracting (1) and (2)

-6d = (-30)

 d = 5

 Putting the value of 'd ' in (1)

a + 6 (5) = 32

a + 30 = 32

a = 32- 30

a = 2, d = 5

So, the required A.P is 2, 7, 12, 17,22.......
