I am for the "immediate, unconditional, and universal" enfranchisement of the black man, in every State in the Union. [Loud appl

ause.] Without this, his liberty is a mockery; without this, you might as well almost retain the old name of slavery for his condition; for in fact, if he is not the slave of the individual master, he is the slave of society, and holds his liberty as a privilege, not as a right. He is at the mercy of the mob, and has no means of protecting himself. How does the repetition of the phrase “without this” support the paragraph’s argument? It reinforces the idea that without equality in the US, the idea of a free society is a joke. It suggests that a free society is possible, with or without equal rights for all people. It indicates that Douglass would be content without material possessions or status. It proposes that slavery will not be abolished in the US without the support of all citizens.

Answer: It reinforces the idea that without equality in the US, the idea of a free society is a joke.

In this excerpt, Douglass wants to highlight the hypocrisy of arguing that the United States is a country that enjoys equal rights for all. He thinks it is foolish to claim this when Black Americans do not have the right to vote. Douglass repeats the phrase "without this..." in order to reinforce this idea, and highlight all the limitations that Black people have in society.

Which principal part of the verb is used in the following sentence?
zmey [24]

Answer:

Letter A is the correct option.

Explanation:

The verb used in the sentence is "go". In simple past, the conjugation for this verb is "went". Also, according to the subject (Eunice) if the verb were being used in present, it should be "goes". As known, the past participle form of "go" is "gone", making the first option the correct one. In spite of the name of the tense (present participle), it could refer to the present, past, or future (apparently, this sentence is in present continuous, but it could also express a future idea).

Which of the following most likely functions as the exposition in a story?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The option that would most likely function as the exposition in a story is:

A. We had been working for months to restore the house to its original glory.

Explanation:

<u>The exposition of a story is the moment when the author sets the stage for what is going to happen. In other words, it functions as the introduction of the story, where we get to know the setting, the characters, and begin to understand the context in which the plot will unfold.</u>

Therefore, the exposition should present information that will be developed, that is, introductory information. When we analyze the options given in the question, we can see that B, C, and D are more likely to be used in other moments in the story. They demand context. If they were the very first sentence in a story, for instance, we would be taken aback, having no idea what is going on. Why is Shannon trying to go from the raft to the boat? What project is she talking about - and who is she, for that matter? What contest is this and who is talking about it?

<u>Now, option A sounds much more like an introduction. We do not know who the speaker is yet, but now we know that he/she and someone else have been working on renovating a house. It is easy to see that this piece of information will be further developed: we will be told who the speaker is, whose house it is, etc.</u>
