Answer:
The main purpose of the second paragraph is:
C. to impress the disparity of experience between citizens and slaves.
Explanation:
The second paragraph of Douglass's speech emphasizes how different it is to be a white, free person and to be a slave on the Fourth of July. After all, the nation is celebrating freedom. But, as Douglass says, he and the other slaves are "in fetters", so inviting them to celebrate freedom is an act of cruelty, of irony. He makes a point of stating that, emphasizing the disparity between the slaves' and white people's conditions. There is no reason for slaves to celebrate, which means there is no reason for Douglass to celebrate. He, a former slave, knows the pain and suffering he came from. He cannot forget and ignore that thousands of people who are still in that predicament, working to death while being mistreated, beaten, humiliated, or sold as possessions.
Answer:
yes I do believe that Whitman's use of free verse in "Song of Myself," helped him to better connect with his readers. Whitman's use of free verse enables him to talk to his readers in a new way that is not constricted by rhyme or meter parameters. Also, his use of language sounds more like spoken language and helps readers to not only understand what he is saying, but also to better connect with the complex and emotional themes that Whitman was discussing in "Song of Myself." More than one hundred fifty years later, the themes he uses in "Song of Myself," as well as his exciting use of language still speaks to a new audience in a new generation, which shows how well thought out and carefully pieced together his poetry was, and I believe that the use of free verse aided significantly in Whitman's ability to make the poem into exactly what he wanted it to be.
Answer:C. The visitor left his stick behind.
Explanation:
Your question is referring to the excerpt from ''The Hound of the Baskervilles'' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in which Sherlock is describing his visitor at the beginning of the first chapter.
''Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he stayed up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before.''
After that, Sherlock picks up the stick and read what is written on it and then he is asking Watson about his opinion on it.
He was considered as the absent-minded because he left something with his name and evidence that is showing that he was there. If he was aware, he would not do that. In that way, Sherlock got all information about him.
