Read the excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson’s speech, “War Message to Congress.” I am not now thinking of the loss of propert

y involved, immense and serious as that is, but only for the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot be. Which statement best describes the main idea of the excerpt? A lot of the nation’s property has been destroyed. The nation has lost an immense amount of wealth. Human lives are worth more than material items. The nation will get back everything that was lost.

The statement that best describes the main idea of the excerpt is:

Human lives are worth more than material items.

Although the rest of the statements can be easily related to the excerpt as well, the ultimate idea of this paragraph is that innocent lives have been lost and will not be recovered, and that has a greater impact than the loss of the nation's property

5.<br> Why do you think Jonas is prohibited from dream-telling? Explain.
Rama09 [41]

Jonas was asked to follow certain rules while he is a Receiver-in training.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

Jonas did not get any dreams usually. But, one dream he got at the previous night was quite embarrassing as he was asking Fiona to disrobe and get into the bathtub with him. She refused to do so in his dream.

Jonas was the Receiver of Memory for his community and he was very embarrassed because of this dream as the community is a highly structured in which they are not allowed to choose their partners and need to dress up properly.

Though Jonas's parents understood his desires but asked him to suppress them by taking a pill each day. Thus, he was asked not to share his dream.

Idk the answer to this at all :(
g100num [7]

The answer would be B. She is a female Hercules; she has superior strength.

An allusion is essentially when an author makes some kind of reference to something that isn't really "part" of the text. By this I mean that the author is referencing to something historical or literature. Like in this sentence the author references Hercules. Hercules is from mythology. A easier way to think about this is linking it to real life. A lot of times teenagers "quote" or reference their favorite songs/TV shows/ movies/books in daily conversation. In this situation the teenager is making an allusion.

Hope this made sense!
