Read Abraham Lincoln's Letter to fellow Republican James T. Hale. In this letter, President Lincoln suggests a compromise with t

he South’s demands to keep the Union from falling apart.
Confidential. Hon. J. T. Hale Springfield, Ill. Jan'y. 11th 1861.

My dear Sir—Yours of the 6th is received. I answer it only because I fear you would misconstrue my silence. What is our present condition? We have just carried an election on principles fairly stated to the people. Now we are told in advance, the government shall be broken up, unless we surrender to those we have beaten, before we take the offices. In this they are either attempting to play upon us, or they are in dead earnest. Either way, if we surrender, it is the end of us, and of the government. They will repeat the experiment upon us ad libitum. A year will not pass, till we shall have to take Cuba as a condition upon which they will stay in the Union. They now have the Constitution, under which we have lived over seventy years, and acts of Congress of their own framing, with no prospect of their being changed; and they can never have a more shallow pretext for breaking up the government, or extorting a compromise, than now. There is, in my judgment, but one compromise which would really settle the slavery question, and that would be a prohibition against acquiring any more territory. Yours very truly, A. LINCOLN.

Which words best describe Abraham Lincoln's tone in the letter?

A.) nervous and insecure

B.) bold but concerned

C.) optimistic but timid

D.) resigned and dejected

a brief essay explaining this statement: ""The Beatles"" were once a monopolistically competitive firm that became a monopolist.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive firm is one that is in competition with many other firms selling identical but not the same products. A monopolist is a business entity that has dominated the market and is in control of a particular product in the market.

So, the above statement means that "The Beatles," were once in competition with other firms selling products that were similar to theirs. Now, however, "The Beatles" are the only suppliers of the product they sell and are in control of that particular market.

Based on this excerpt, what can most logically be concluded about Emperor Qian Long's point of view?
velikii [3]

Answer:

Trade with China is an enormous privilege

Explanation:

The Emperor seems to do that because the European States will be in need of what China has, but he does state that it is a signal mark of <u>favour</u> (this word can be defined as: "an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual"). This shows that even though you might consider that the emperor is being kind, he also believes that he is conceiving a privilege to the westerns.

How does this final stanza of ah are you digging on my grave use irony to disappoint the speakers expectation?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

It uses irony to show that despite her expectation of being missed by someone, no one seemed to have the same sentiment. rather, she found that her dog was the one digging, not because he missed her but to bury his bone. He also added that he had forgotten she was buried there.

Explanation:

The final stanza of the poem <em>"Oh, Are You Digging On My Grave?"</em> by Thomas Hardy shows a dead woman expecting someone would remember her. The lines goes like this-

<u><em>"Mistress, I dug upon your grave </em></u>

<u><em>To bury a bone, in case </em></u>

<u><em>I should be hungry near this spot </em></u>

<u><em>When passing on my daily trot. </em></u>

<u><em>I am sorry, but I quite forgot </em></u>

<u><em>It was your resting-place."</em></u>

She heard someone digging her grave and then she began guessing who that would be, her husband 'who must have missed her' or her family or even her enemy. But it was none of them but rather her dog. Even then, she was happy to know that at least someone remembered her. Ironically, the dog wasn't there for her but rather to hide his bone in case he gets hungry on his walks. This irony in the scene's reality and the narrator's expectations shows how she must have been missed by someone. But it was nobody except her dog who wants to hide his bone not because he felt anything for her. Not only that, he also mentioned that he had quite forgotten that she was buried there.
