Read the following excerpt from a 1775 speech by Patrick Henry in which he presents his ideas concerning the American colonists'

relationship with Great Britain:
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the house? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss.

What is most likely the author's purpose in this section of the speech?

A. To elicit a strong emotional response from the audience
B. To question the motives behind recent Parliament legislation
C. To reflect upon his own experiences with diplomacy with Britain
D. To warn against the unlikelihood of British cooperation

Write a descriptive essay about my best subject​
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Most would say, your best subject is probably one you excel at. I, on the other hand, believe that the best subject is one that interests you and you don't need an incentive of a good grade to start the initiative. Therefore, my favorite subject is history. Although many would say it's boring and you don't need it, I find it interesting how people back then lived their day to day lives. In conclusion, history, in my opinion, is my best subject.

Explanation:

Don't worry I did this in my own words ;) also I don't really like history.
