Read the excerpt from "Tools of the Spymaster."

English
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Describe to the reader a brave act by a historical figure

Explanation:

In the given excerpt, the author tells us about a heroic act of general Benedict Arnold, an important figure in the Revolutionary War. The purpose is not to show us how dangerous or heroic it is to question orders. Sometimes it is dangerous (like in this case), but sometimes it's not. The act of challenging orders is not heroic on its own, although, in this case, it turned out to be. There are some details showing us how violent the Revolutionary War was, but that is also not the point. All of these details are a part of Arnold's brave act.

Do you think the U.S. education system adequately promotes equality? Why or why not?
Airida [17]
Regarding race, religion, creed, and gender, I believe that the education system leaves no hurdles for the formerly discouraged sects of society. However, school districts that encapsulate both high and low wealth areas do little to provide proper educational assistance and opportunity to children of all surrounding home lives. Hope this helped!
