Answer:

Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled, "Object Lesson," which was written by<em> Ellery Queen (a pseudonym). </em>

The story centers on the character of Ellery, as he was called by Miss Carpenter to have a speech in class regarding<em> "Notorious Criminals I Have Known." </em>This came about when Miss Carpenter knew that three of his students in class were responsible for a juvenile crime she witnessed. However, on the day of the speech, Miss Carpenter noticed that <u>someone stole her $7 inside her envelop.</u>

As Ellery was searching the different places where the suspect might have placed the $7, "<em>Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white." </em>This causes uncertainty on the reader because<u> it doesn't give a clear sign whether the money will be found or not</u>.

Louise Carpenter's action shows that she is <em>"anticipating to be let down."</em> This means that she, somehow, figured out that <u>Ellery won't be able to find the suspect and money because they only have a few minutes left</u> <em>(4 and 1/2 minutes, to be exact)</em>.<em> </em>

Explanation:

You could defend at least 2 of these as being the right answer.  My pick and it is only my pick, would be "<em>He felt that on had a moral responsibility to resist unjust laws."</em>

That was what Civil Disobedience at its core was about.

It is also what Frederick Douglass Lewis Hayden fought for. These two men were colored and they were trying to wake up a nation to the injustice of slavery.

Explanation:

Well, to summarize a passage, you'd first have to read the passage. Afterwards, you'd most likely want to make sure that you understood it. Taking notes isn't required, but it's helpful if you aren't strong in understanding them. Next up, you'd probably try to find the main idea. Summarizing is something that you could do easily, even in your everyday life. You watch a cool movie this month? Summarize it.

Let's say I had just watched Endgame and I was SUPER eager to share it with somebody, but I can't give away the whole movie or else they wouldn't want to watch it and they'd most likely get mad at you. You'd have to summarize it. State the main idea and thesis and make sure that they can figure out what the plot is without you having to tell them the plot. You're welcome. (:
