The correct answer is "D".

Jefferson Davis was an American politician who sided with the Southern Stated during the Civil War, serving as president of the Confederacy from 1861 to 1865. Although he was a slaveholder and shared common interests with other Confederacy leaders, he was reluctant to secession as it is shown in the selected excerpt. Nevertheless, he believed that the States had the right to leave the Union if they ultimately decided to.

In narrative text or dialogue, what does a comma (,) indicate?
andriy [413]

Hi there!

The answer you are looking for is option C. A pause or hesitation.

<em>A comma can be used to give direction either to a reader or a speaker to where to take a pause,</em><em> </em>and also to make the sentence most effective and convincing. In other words, a comma can be used near the end of a sentence to separate contrasted coordinate elements or to indicate a distinct pause or shift.

Which two parts of this excerpt from Queen Elizabeth I's "Speech to the Troops at Tilbury" illustrate that the speech is a persu
zysi [14]

Answer:

  • Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust.
  • I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.

Explanation:

These are the two parts that show that the speech is meant to be a persuasive text. In the first section, Queen Elizabeth tells the troops that she is ready to die among them, and that she has come to them to show them how seriously she takes this responsibility. In the second section, the Queen talks about her qualifications, stating that she has the heart and stomach of a king. Both sections are meant to be persuasive.
