Which of the following details from the passage best supports the author's premise that war does not distinguish between militar

y and civilian acts of battle?A."The man who was engaged in being hanged was apparently about thirty-five years of age."B."He was a civilian, if one might judge from his habit, which was that of a planter."C."He wore a mustache and pointed beard, but no whiskers; his eyes were large and gray, and had a kindly expression which one would hardly have expected in one whose neck was in the hemp."D."Evidently this was no vulgar assassin. The liberal military code makes provision for many kinds of persons, and gentlemen are not excluded."

From the options presented, the excerpt that best supports the author's premise that war does not distinguish between military and civilian acts of battle is:

D."Evidently this was no vulgar assassin. The liberal military code makes provision for many kinds of persons, and gentlemen are not excluded."

The key to understanding this is in the second sentence:  "<u>the liberal military code makes provision for many kinds of persons, and gentlemen are not excluded." </u> more specifically in the word "gentlemen", military members are never referred as gentlemen. So, one can agree with the fact both military members as well as "gentlemen" are included in the savage warlike category

So, for the reasons presented above, the final answer is:

D."Evidently this was no vulgar assassin. The liberal military code makes provision for many kinds of persons, and gentlemen are not excluded."

The evidence the author uses to support the false analogy is that college sports are just as important as bookstores.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The author uses a false relationship between university games and university bookstores.
  • He uses this to show that students who work in bookstores receive salaries, but university players don't, but they are of equal importance.
  • The evidence that the author shows to confirm this relationship is that college games are as important as bookstores.
  • However, both the relationship and the evidence convey an incorrect idea.

Bookstores are part of the educational system that universities should promote, university games are not. In addition, many college athletes have scholarships, while students working in the campus do so for salaries or lower funding.

Jealousy has become a main ingredient of sucess .Critcally comment on this statement with regard to the poem 'Frog and the Night
NemiM [27]
It is thanks to his jealousy that the Frog becomes the sole singer at the end of the poem.

He envied the Nightingale's talent and therefore tricked the Nightingale into practicing so much it died. After the Nightingale's death, the Frog became the only (and therefore best) singer. The Frog's success was only possible due to his jealousy. If he had not been jealous of the Nightingale, the Frog would not have become the singer he became.
