I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of ou

r nation.
[2] Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

[3] But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free; one hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination; one hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity; one hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land.

Which phrase from the text provides the best context clue to determine the meaning of "captivity" in paragraph 2?
1 Joyous daybreak
2 One hundred years
3Still not free
4 Sadly crippled

<h2>Answer </h2>

3 Still not free

<h2>Explanation </h2>

The phrase <em>still not free</em> is referring back to the word <em>captivity</em> telling us that captivity is the opposite of being free; telling us that the negro is still encage  in a cage of oppression and discrimination.

We can rule out option 1 because <em>joyous daybreak </em>has a positive connotation, whereas <em>captivity </em>has a negative one.

We can rule out option 2 because <em>one hundred years </em>is just pointing out a period time not the circumstances of it.

We can rule out option 3 because <em>sadly crippled</em> is telling us how the negro is not where it is.

We can conclude that phrase from the text provides the best context clue to determine the meaning of "captivity" is still not free.

Dark romantic poetry does appeal to me. I love the author Emily Dickinson. Love can have the sappy and sweet side. But underneath all of that junk, there is the dark truth. It can show the lust and passion that all humans crave. It started in the beginnings of the 18th century which is one of my favorite time periods. The euphoric novels and poems written in that time are amazing. Everyone looks for the happily ever after in life, dark romantic takes our happily ever after idea to a whole new level. They twist the ideals to make them more realistic. This is why dark romantic poetry appeals to me!

Alja [10]

Answer:

Myths often function as a connection to culture, or the customs and beliefs of a group of people. Myths in a way are what makes a certain nation's culture - everything we know today originated from myths, beliefs, and legends. Myths were told in order to for people to explain what was happening around them - things they could not understand. ~~~Hope this helps~~

Which of the following inferences is best supported by the passage below (paragraph 5)?
Solnce55 [7]

The correct answer is A. The author was confident in her preparation for the tryout.

Explanation:

In the paragraph, the narrator describes her perspective about the tryout, about this she specifies the routine was simple "The routine was easy to learn" and she had completely mastered the routine as the author explains " I practiced so much that I could do that routine in my sleep." In this context, it can be inferred or concluded she "was confident in her preparation for the tryout" because, in the text, most details focus on how easy the routine was and the abilities of the author to perform it.
