natulia [17]3 years ago

King states that America has defaulted in the promise that it made to African Americans. He tells us that African Americans were promised that they were going to receive the same rights and privileges that other groups enjoyed. However, he argues that this is not the case, as African Americans have suffered much more discrimination and hardship than other groups.

The language that King employs is particularly effective as it presents this promise in financial terms. He compares them to a cheque that has not worked. This language not only clarifies his meaning, but it also helps the reader better understand the feelings of the African American population.

The correct answer is C. The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek.

Explanation:

In the passage presented both sentence (11) and sentence (12) aim at providing the reader with examples on the players the AAGPBL produces, in the case of sentence (11) Mary "Bonnie" Baker is mentioned and sentence (12) adds Dorothy Kamenshek was equally a fine player that emerged from this women softball club, this implies both women are equally important, because of this both names should be linked by adding the conjunction "and", considering this conjunction expresses a relationship of equality between the element it joints. Besides this to show the reader these women are examples of the results of the softball club it is necessary to the word "including" and it is already clear they are examples of "many fine players" is not necessary to add any further information after the name of both women. Thus, the correct way to combine sentence (11) and (12) is "The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek" because it expresses both women are examples of fine players of the league and are in the same level.

Which sources are appropriate secondary sources for researching access to water in the future? Check all that apply.
g100num [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A. a nonfiction book about natural resources

D. an article about water access in an academic journal

E. an article in a major newspaper making predictions about water access

(Photo for proof at the bottom.)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A secondary source provides an outside perspective that interprets or analyzes an event or topic, and are created by people who did not have a first-hand experience on the topic.

A notebook and a speech are not secondary sources because they are created by someone who has a first-hand experience on the topic. Non-fiction books and articles are secondary sources since they are written by someone who only has knowledge on the topic, and hasn't actually experienced the topic.

Here's a photo of Edge, good luck.
