Hey there! :D
I would say this is true. Most of the population in the US was in the North. In the Industrial factories, businesses, etc. Most of the population did not own slaves. In the South, several were owned; if you compare that to the mass majority of people,
Studies suggest that 3/4 of people in the South owned slaves, with that 88% owned 20 or fewer. The south isn't all the states. Moreland was spread out, and fewer people lived in the south.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
Contrast
Explanation:
The sentence you were given is the following:
The duck was delighted with his new toy and immediately began to experiment with it, but within moments his mood changes from joyful to despondent.
The options you were given are:
- Contrast
- Similarity
- Appositive
- Example
When you're unsure about what a certain word means, you can try to figure out its meaning based on the context - words, phrases, and sentences that surround it.
The context clue that can help us understand the meaning of the word <em>despondent</em> is contrast. The first clause describes how delightful the duck is, and the second is introduced with the conjunction <em>but</em>. <em>But </em>is a contrast conjunction - it is used to connect ideas that oppose each other. The duck was happy, but its mood suddenly changed. We can assume that the word <em>despondent </em>means the opposite of happy or something close to that.
Another tool that can help us find out what a word means is a dictionary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words that contains different information about them, such as their definitions, examples, origin, pronunciation, etc. If we look up the word <em>despondent </em>in a dictionary (e.g. Merriam-Webster Dictionary), we can confirm what it means exactly: <em>feeling or showing extreme discouragement, dejection, or depression.</em>
There are many figures of speech that use repetition:
Rhyme - Repeating sounds at the end of words.
Alliteration - Uses repetition of a specific consonant sound at the beginning of words or syllables.
And many more! But these are basic ones that you might be referring to.
