Read this excerpt from Patrick Henry’s speech “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.” What is the main idea of the text? We have pet

itioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

Patrick Henry was an American attorney and orator who served as the first and sixth post-colonial Governor of Virginia.

In this text, Patrick Henry claims that the Patriots have tried everything they could to stop the tyranny of the British government. The government, on the other hand, has ignored them. Now, they have concluded that there is no hope for the two sides to be reconciled. The only option they have left is to fight against Britain.

The Patriots tried every peaceful way they could to get the Loyalists to give them their well-earned freedom, yet all of their efforts were torn down. Patrick Henry believes that the only way to win freedom for the Patriots is to fight for it.

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality y−4x≤−6y−4x≤−6 ? select each correct answer. (3, 5)(3, 5) (−2, −14)(−2, −14)
Dafna11 [192]
Y - 4x ≤ -6y - 4x ≤ -6
We add 6y and 4x to each equality
7y ≤ 0 ≤ 6y + 4x -6

Observing:
7y ≤ 0, we see that the values of y can be only negative or 0, not positive.
So we are left with (-2,-14) (-1,-9) (0,-5)
We check the second equality:
6y + 4x - 6 ≥ 0 for these 3
None of the inequalities satisfy the given expressions simultaneously.

marishachu [46]
<span>a documentary filmed by an expert on the Black Death is your answer

It is not "</span><span>a book of historical fiction about the Middle Ages", because it is fictionous, and while it does follow history, not all of it is true. Also, Middle Ages encompasses a large amount of events, not just the Black Death.
</span><span>
It is not "</span><span>a medical textbook with a section devoted to modern diseases", because the Black Death happened during the Middle Ages, and is not a modern disease.

It is not "</span><span>a history textbook with a chapter on life in the Middle Ages", because it encompasses all daily life aspects, and may or may not include the years of the Black Death.
