Screech! Karen stomped on the gas pedal the moment the light turned green. She looked over her left shoulder and zigged past a s

emi-truck. She zoomed ahead and looked over her right shoulder and then zagged past a motorbike. She glanced at the clock on the console and darted into the parking lot. Whipping into a parking spot, she grabbed her suitcase and ran through the lot, up the escalator, and into the terminal. Her heavy suitcase was bumping and bouncing the whole way. Just as she entered the terminal, she heard an announcement over the loudspeaker, "Final boarding call for flight 205 to JFK..." Karen looked at her ticket and then at the line to get through the security checkpoint, which wrapped around several turnstiles and slithered like a lethargic snake. Karen sighed and then slowly walked to the customer service desk.Why does she start walking slowly at the end of the passage?a. Her friend flew to another airport.b. She missed her plane.c. She decided not to travel anywhere.d. She would rather stay home.

Answer:

b. She missed her plane.

Explanation:

At the start of the passage, we read that Karen was in a hurry. She drove really fast <em>"zoomed ahead and [.....] zagged past a motorbike"</em>. This is also supported by the use of the words "<em>darted</em>", "<em>whipping</em>", "<em>ran through the lot, up the escalator and into the terminal</em>". These words all show that she was in a hurry to be on time for her flight.

When she heard the final call for <em>"flight 205 to JFK"</em> and looked at the line for the security checkpoint, she knew she had no more time to get into the plane. So, she walked slowly to the customer service desk.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

What are the most effective tools for establishing and<br> preserving freedom?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

There could be a number of answers to your question, as it is the sort of question calling for an essay in which you state a thesis and defend it. 

A possible thesis would be that the most effective tools for establishing and preserving freedom are effective legislatures and a fair and strongly functioning system of courts. 

Without effective legislatures (on the state and national level), laws and governance bog down and the rights and freedoms of citizens can be eroded by special interests or powerful individuals and groups. Without courts functioning fairly and firmly to uphold laws that protect citizens' civil rights and liberties, the freedom of all citizens can be compromised by those who have greater advantages of wealth or position. 

For another possible thesis, I would. point you to thoughts from Alexis de Tocqueville's famous work from the 1830s, Democracy in America. Tocqueville put great stress upon the direct involvement of all citizens in the democratic functioning of society, through things like service on juries in the court system and by their regular association with one another in civic groups. Tocqueville urged that in a democracy, individual citizens need to learn to unite in association with one another to work as a group to protect their freedoms against the encroachment of tyranny. Tocqueville said that the most democratic country on earth is, above all, where individuals have "most perfected the art of pursuing the object of their common desires in common." He thought there is a "necessary relation between associations and equality."

How does Lincoln use rhetoric to advance his purpose?
Travka [436]

<u><em>ANSWER TO THE FIRST QUESTION:</em></u>

After reading the Abraham Lincoln second Inaugural Address speech, the correct answer is<u> “a call to action is used to ensure the audience understands his main point”</u>.  Because he mentioned that even when they were trying to SAVE the union without war, insurgent agents had a different goal and it was to DESTROY the union without war.

Abraham Lincoln uses rhetoric with the aim of convincing the audience that what he is doing is the logical way to go in the situation they were going through.

<em><u>ANSWER TO THE SECOND QUESTION:</u></em>

The answer is <u>“He declares that while they have been at war, both the North and South pray to the same God; this is meant to reinforce the idea that they are all Americans and hold the same values”</u>. It means that while both parts of the war are praying to God in order for them to win the war (each part with different goals), they are looking alike.
