Answer:

The best answer is indeed letter D. Many American men were drafted during World War II, and many other men volunteered to serve.

Explanation:

When combining independent sentences, we must take a few things into consideration. Proper punctuation and conjunction must be chosen. Also, parallelism - the repetition of a certain grammatical form -  is important  for the sentence to sound more fluid.

The first two options present problems with parallelism since the two main verbs are used in different ways - were drafted X volunteering. The third option corrects that problem since volunteering becomes volunteered - now there is parallelism since both clauses are in the simple past. But the conjunction "or" conveys an idea that one of two possibilities can be realized. The best conjunction in this case would be "and", since it conveys a sense of addition - both things happened, men were drafted, and men volunteered. Therefore, the best option is  letter D. Many American men were drafted during World War II, and many other men volunteered to serve.

What are the central ideas of this excerpt? Select two options. Antony wants everyone to know that he wanted caesar dead.
mina [271]

Hello. You did not present the excerpt to which this question refers, and you did not present the answer options. This makes your question impossible to answer. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The central idea of a text is the main subject to which the text is addressing. It is the theme to which the author wishes to pass on reflection and reasoning. You will only be able to identify this idea with a complete reading of the passage to which your question refers, but you will be able to identify these ideas by the subject that the characters are addressing in their actions and speeches.

Cultural relativism tends to promote one's own culture. Which of your ancestral culture and traditions are you most proud of?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

"garra charrúa"

Explanation:

I am Uruguayan and one of the aspects of my culture that all Uruguayans are extremely proud of is known as "garra charrúa". This is the underdog personality that Uruguayans demonstrate in everything they do. This is also a way of life passed down from the natives of the country. As Uruguayan citizens we always try our best regardless of what we are trying to accomplish or how impossible it may seem to overcome the obstacles in our way.

Which of these sentences from Jack London's "The Human Drift" is an example of naturalist writing?
MatroZZZ [7]

As we know naturalist writing is a literary genre that originated as a literary movement in the nineteenth century. It could be found in literature, film, theater and art. It was referred to as a type of extreme realism.


Naturalism suggests pessimism in a philosophical way using scientific techniques to depict human beings as objectives and impartial characters. It also concludes that natural forces are what determine character’s decisions.


Answer: C) In the misty younger world we catch glimpses of phantom races, rising, slaying, finding food, building rude civilizations, decaying, falling under the swords of stronger hands, and passing utterly away.


I hope it helps, Regards.
