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

"That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it.” 
</span>
The funny thing is that for example and that example i'm going to use, you might also see it or experience, let's say when your talking to a friend, and were talking about a trouble someone caused you and while you were explaining it a random person who over-heard you got into the conversation to and started complaining without even knowing what or WHOM you were talking about :-/. 

Twain might have used this because that's how some people are and the impact is that sometimes before you or anyone to be exact don't jump into conclusions or interrupt someone when there talking unless they want you to speak to them.

Tyson has created many general questions to guide his research. What should he do next?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

D. Narrow his focus

Explanation:

In writing a research,a topic has to be selected first. This could be provided by a supervisor or the individual, on a topic he is interested in. After forming a topic, many general questions should be formed. This would provide a wide view from which to assess the topic.

Too many general questions ought to be further narrowed into more specific questions. It is important that the researcher chose a topic on which information could be found easily. This would make it easier for the questions to be easily narrowed and not too broad. He should also avoid open ended questions, that is yes or no questions, so as to make the information more meaningful.
