Answer:

The word sagacity means:

- good judgment.

The word bestowing means:

- providing.

Explanation:

"Sagacity" has to do with wisdom and perspicacity, that is, the ability to see to a great distance, in this case, figuratively speaking. Therefore, when mentioning "the strong sagacity (...) which seem(s) almost the birthright of the natives of the West Riding", the author means they are farsighted and have good judgement.

"Bestowing" means conceding, granting, providing. By saying "From rarely requiring the assistance of others, he comes to doubt the power of bestowing it", the author means the natives of the West Riding do not rely on getting or providing assistance to their neighbors.

Select the correct text in the passage. Which words in this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence are emotionally charged
Sedbober [7]

The words that are emotionally charged in this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence are justice, magnanimity and usurpations.

<u>Emotionally charged words are words that inspire emotion in the person who is reading or listening them</u>. These words are used to appeal to emotion and; therefore, to provoke a reaction. Emotionally charged words are often included in speeches pronounced by politicians. In this case,<u> the words 'justice', 'magnanimity' and 'usurpations' are emotionally charged because they seek to engage the readers and to make them take a position</u>. These words are also used to evoke empathy and to give the impression that the people that signed the Declaration of Independence were only defending the citizens' right to be free.
