Hi! Given that you asked several questions and some of them are missing information (like bolded phrases), I went online to find them. I will copy-paste your questions and answer them separately. I will proceed to underline the words that meant to be bolded. In bold, I will mark the correct answer.

Answers:

A. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer

B. It was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society

2) In the sentence "Now is the time to <u>lift our nation</u> from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity," the bolded phrase creates a mood of __________ among the audience.

A. Hope B. Respect C. Love D. Honor

Answer: D. Jackson relies on long, flowing sentences, whereas Rutledge relies on short, direct sentences.

Explanation:

Andrew Jackson’s address to the Congress and Michael Rutledge’s “Samuel’s Memory” certainly differ in writing techniques and language use. In Jackson's speech, there are long sentences, which makes the speech convincing and helps him demonstrate his intelligence. However, Rutledge's sentences are often short, quite simple and straightforward.
