Answer:

Answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

In grammatically correct sentences, subject and verb must agree in person (first, second, third) and in number (singular, plural). The given passage has three disagreements:

1) ...the fate of the diamond were unknown...

Since the fate is third-person singular it needs to be followed by a verb was

2) neither men or conflict have dimmed...

It is a general rule that when we have a neither/nor (either/or) construction, the verb agrees with the closest subject ( in this case the conflict) which is in the third person singular, so it needs to be followed by the verb has

McCain's essay is an extended definition of the word patriot. Write a brief response that explains how this extended definition

Aleks04 [339]

Mccain's essay was very exaggerating to me and managed to extend my concept of patriotism, thus leaving the concept more complete and efficient. Before reading the essay, I believed that patriotism is related exclusively to the feeling of love for the country, within that feeling it was not correct to criticize and not support certain elements, but just to love the country unconditionally. MacCain's essay showed me that criticism of the country is part of patriotism, because it is through criticism that we recognize the defects that our society has and that need to be changed. This is able to motivate us to fight for a better country. Striving for improvement represents love for the country and that represents patrotism.

What is the meaning of Socrate's comparison of society to a ship?

never [62]

Answer:

The Ship of State is a famous and oft-cited metaphor put forth by Plato in Book VI of the Republic (488a–489d). It likens the governance of a city-state to the command of a naval vessel and ultimately argues that the only people fit to be captain of this ship (Greek: ναῦς) are philosopher kings, benevolent men with absolute power who have access to the Form of the Good. The origins of the metaphor can be traced back to the lyric poet Alcaeus (frs. 6, 208, 249), and it is found in Sophocles' Antigone and Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes before Plato.
