Dr. Alan Brinkley argues that history can be written in such a way that our history is fixed and unchanging, like this enormous

granite statue of our Founding Fathers in Mount Rushmore National Monument, South Dakota. Is this, in fact, what Dr. Brinkley suggests about the job of the historian?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The southeastern face of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota’s Black Hills National Forest is the site of four gigantic carved sculptures depicting the faces of U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. Led by the sculptor Gutzon Borglum, work on the project began in 1927 and was finally completed in 1941. Over that time period, some 400 workers erected the sculpture under dangerous conditions, removing a total of 450,000 tons of rock in order to create the enormous carved heads, each of which reached a height of 60 feet (18 meters). In sculptor Gutzon Borglum’s original design, the four presidents were meant to be represented from the waist up, but insufficient funding brought the carving to a halt after completion of their faces. Known as the “Shrine of Democracy,” Mount Rushmore welcomes upwards of 2 million visitors every year, and is one of America’s most popular tourist attractions.

Brianna finds the following definition in the glossary of her science textbook: coma: a cloud of dust around the nucleus of the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The sentence which correctly uses the word "coma" as it might be found in Brianna's textbook is:

C. The coma of the comet consists of ice particles and interstellar dust.

Explanation:

The definition in Brianna's textbook clearly refers to "coma" as being that dust cloud that surrounds a comet. Therefore, we need to find a sentence that somehow mentions a comet's coma.

Sentences A and D can be eliminated since they refer to the coma a person gets into after an accident or due to an illness, for example. Sentence B refers to punctuation marks. In this case, it should be "comma" and not "coma". We can eliminate it as well. We are left with option C, which is the only one that uses coma in the sense found in the glossary. It clearly speaks of the coma of a comet.

Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Korvikt [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Roosevelt’s goal in the passage is to persuade the general assembly to pass the UDHR at the fourth session. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

This is because the soviet proposal is made in order to defer the consideration of the declaration in the 4th session of the assembly. There must be approval by the assembly in the 4th session before the declaration of the rights is too late. There was rejection of the committee because of the different facts and finally it was passed in the 4th session.

Below is an essay I'm submitting for college!! It's not even 200 words. Can someone please tell me what to improve on. Grammerly
Nitella [24]
I think maybe, the issue is the lack of emotional resonance, and the use of terms like “or anything”. Younger people tend to use these terms, and have less power in the emotional realm, at least when it comes to expressing themselves. So, maybe try lessening the terms that are flounce-y and deepen the emotional aspect of this essay, possibly? Just suggestions from an outside eye, good luck!

Why was talking about himself in the third person an effective rhetorical strategy for Wiesel
Alex_Xolod [135]

The correct answer is answer A ("The focus of the speech stays on Wiesel's terrifying experiences as a child").

<u>By using the third person, Wiesel is able to separate himself from his present self, and take us back to the perspective he had at the time being a young boy</u>. By using the third person, the focus moves away from himself and what sticks with us is the harshness of these experiences that countless nameless boys had to go through.


Hope this helps!
