Answer:

"Fear of white vigilante groups like the KKK" A vigilante is someone who takes part in taking the law into their own hands. If you know about the KKK, then you would understand what a vigilante is. For example, the KKK tried to punish African Americans before and after certain laws because they did not want Africans to have any rights and or freedom.

Answer:

Shall continue to

Explanation:

The author's claim is that students should have more recess time. That is the point he/she is trying to prove. "Without more recess time" means "if the students don't have more recess time." The answer is not 'will,' because the author is trying to prove that students are already struggling with their problems and won't get better unless they have more recess time. It is not 'might,' because that is still negative for their point that students should have more recess time to not struggle with their problems. It is 'shall continue to' because the author is proving that students are already struggling with problems and will continue to struggle without more recess time.

The characters of Watson and Holmes are in direct contrast to one another. In a well-composed essay, compare and contrast these
monitta

Answer and Explanation:

Sherlock Holes and Dr. Watson are fictional characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes is a well-known and highly intelligent researcher, who is efficiently assisted by Dr. Watson in a series of books.

Although this pair of characters has become iconic and has been portrayed in several adaptations, as well as being a symbol of current pop culture, there are many differences and similarities between the two. Among the similarities we can mention the fact that both are extremely intelligent, correct and cultured men. However, we cannot deny that Holmes is a more focused and observant character, which ensures that he makes such incredible discoveries. Dr. Holmes, on the other hand, is a more science, study, and philosophy-oriented man, which provides highly effective support for Holmes' discoveries.

The difference between the two characters makes them complete each other and are such a dynamic duo, where each complements the other's flaws. However, the differences between them, promote a striking personality in each one and this was the main objective of the author to unite such contrasting personalities, but that work so well.
