Answer: Choice D</h3>
...he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied
============================================================
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass is describing the horrific conditions of what kind of food he ate and the conditions in which he had his meals. At the start of the paragraph, he describes the food itself (a corn meal called Mush). Then later on he describes how the food was served in a very degrading inhumane way (the food being served in a trough; effectively treating them as animals). Shortly after, he goes over how the food was eaten through a variety of means: use of oyster shells, shingles, or bare hands. None of which involves the regular utensils you'd expect such as a spoon.
At the very end of the excerpt, Frederick Douglass mentions that "He that ate the fastest got most; he was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied". This effectively means that even though the food itself was horrible, and the conditions degrading, people were still hungry and had no other choice. Also, even the people who were able to eat the most weren't truly/fully fed.
So in short, the last part of the excerpt describes that the slaves weren't fed enough. If we could narrow down the cited evidence as much as possible, the portion that mentions "few left the trough satisfied" is the thing you should focus on.
Answer and Explanation:
"Invictus" is a poem that portrays Ernest Henley's emotional control and resistance.
Henley wrote it when he was suffering from bone tuberculosis, a very serious and painful illness that could cause him to die in the blink of an eye, or torture him over time. When reading the poem, we can see how Henley was suffering, but he is very courageous and ready to face the disease with the greatest dignity possible, as he believed that the disease was not greater than him. We can see this through the line "My head is bloody, but unbowed."
Answer:
A
Explanation:
a semi colon (what is used in a) is meant to connect 2 full sentences that rely on each other. You know you should use a semi colon because you can divide the sentence into 2 different sentences and it still makes sense.
Answer:
D. alliteration
Explanation:
Oxymoron: figurative language where two contradictive terms appear together (i.e. all alone). There's no oxymoron here, though.
Onomatopoeia: figurative language with a word that represents a sound. There's no onomatopoeia here, though.
Allusion: a form of figurative language where one mentions something indirectly. (i.e. he's a Romeo with the girls). There's no allusion here, though.
Alliteration: figurative language where many words begin with the same sound. There is alliteration here: sudden stillness, everyone snoring.
Therefore, the answer is D.
