Identify the most striking words that Jefferson chooses to describe the kings actions? How does this language support his claim?

1 answer:

5 0

One of the rhetorical techniques that Jefferson uses in the Declaration of Independence is repetition. This is used to great effect in the body of the document, as he is listing the grievances that the colonists hold against the King. After starting the declaration with a logical account of the colonists’ need to establish independence, Jefferson then delineates all of the reasons that King George has given them to revolt. He gives 27different transgressions that King George has committed, all beginning with the words “He has” or “For.” The first one, for example, is

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

The effect of repetition in this section of the document is to emphasize how unfairly the British have treated the colonies. Putting all the grievances together in this fashion, with the repeated introductory word(s) gives the impression that the list just goes “on and on.”

I would go for the first one. If the euro decreases in value, that would mean it's cheaper to buy more of. The economy as a whole in Europe would decline with the currency they use. Things would be cheaper.

What's missing from the following sentence? The sparkling blue bicycle with the brand new tires and comfortable seat. A. A subje

Leno4ka [110]

Answer: What is missing from the sentence provided is D. a predicate.

Explanation: "The sparkling blue bicycle with the brand new tires and comfortable seat" is a sentence fragment because an essential part of the sentence is missing: the predicate. In other words, the sentence provided does not express a full thought because it needs a predicate, that is to say a verb that indicates what the subject ("The sparkling blue bicycle with the brand new tires and comfortable seat") is or that indicates what is the change that the subject has gone through. For example, the sentence could be completed by adding the predicate "was stolen".

Which of the following is NOT true about Romeo in Act V of Romeo

oee [108]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Romeo knew he was fighting Paris, even when he killed him, based on this information in the scripting:

"Paris mourns at the Capulet tomb, but hides when he hears someone (Romeo) approaching. As he reaches the tomb, Romeo commands Balthasar to leave; Balthasar leaves but decides to linger secretly. Paris confronts Romeo as he attempts to open the tomb. They fight, and Romeo kills Paris. Romeo enters the tomb and lays Paris inside it. Approaching Juliet, Romeo grieves for her death and the luster of her still-lively beauty. He drinks the poison and dies. Friar Lawrence arrives and witnesses the scene as Juliet wakes, offering to hide her away among a convent of nuns. She refuses. Hearing guards approaching, Juliet kills herself with Romeo’s dagger. The Prince, the Capulets, and the Montagues are summoned by the guards. Friar Lawrence summarizes the events leading to this point and is corroborated by Balthasar and Romeo’s letter to his father. In remorse, lords Capulet and Montague make peace." So this information, rules out option A.

Romeo knew the poison from the Apothecary would kill him quickly, because he requests such at the time he was given it: "Balthasar, a friend of Romeo’s, brings him news that Juliet is dead and lies in the Capulet tomb. Resolved to find her and join her in death, Romeo first visits an apothecary and bribes him to obtain an illegal (and lethal) poison...."

Let me have A dram° of poison, such soon-speeding stuff

As will disperse itself through all the veins

That life-weary taker may fall dead,

And that the trunk° may be discharged of breath

As violently as hasty powder fired

Doth hurry from the fatal cannon’s womb.

So this rules out option B as the answer.

Option C is ruled out because Romeo does in fact lay Paris' body in the Capulet tomb when he kills him, because this is where he sees Juliet.

Paris confronts Romeo as he attempts to open the tomb. They fight, and Romeo kills Paris. Romeo enters the tomb and lays Paris inside it.

So, this leaves Option D as the only viable answer, because of the conversation Romeo has with Balthasar about Juliet before going to see the Apothecary in the marketplace: Balthasar, a friend of Romeo’s, brings him news that Juliet is dead and lies in the Capulet tomb. Romeo dismissed Balthasar after hearing the news Juliet was dead, and decided to go get the poison on his own. Friar Lawrence, also was unaware he planned to kill himself, because of this line in the play: Friar John returns to Friar Lawrence, informing him that his letter could not be delivered to Romeo due to an outbreak of sickness. Aware that Juliet will soon awake, Friar Lawrence heads to the Capulet tomb to retrieve Juliet and keep her safe until Romeo can return.
