The correct answer is B. The U.S. Constitution should be considered a living document because it can be amended to reflect the values of the time.

Explanation:

A strong claim is considered as a statement that clearly expresses a position about some situation or issue in this case this situation or issue is the U.S. Constitution; additionally to this, claims should only deal with one issue and not report facts but express the author's position or opinion about this as well as the reasons for this position or the elements that compose it, in this way what is being claimed can be supported with evidence. Considering this "The U.S. Constitution should be considered a living document because it can be amended to reflect the values of the time" is a good example of a strong claim because it shows a position that is "the constitution should be considered a living document" , but it also explains why "because it can be amended to reflect the values of the time" this means this not only a fact but some position that can be supported with evidence through a speech or text which is the purpose and features of a strong claim.

Read the excerpt below (from Henry Adams' The Education of Henry Adams) with accuracy and fluency. Discuss any unfamiliar words

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

This is a personal question. I will answer below according to the word that was unfamiliar to me, but feel free to add to the answer in case there were more for you.

Answer and Explanation:

The word that I found unfamiliar and whose meaning I did not know at first was "behest". I had never seen that word before. To understand its meaning, I looked for context clues. <u>The rest of the sentence in which "behest" appears functions as a clue to finding its meaning. It says that, at a person's behest, something happened: "the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself. . ." As soon as I read this part, it made me think of the word "command." For instance, the sentence "At the general's command, the troops advanced" has a similar connotation to the one with "behest".</u>

To confirm my assumptions, I looked the word up online and found it indeed means "order" or "command".

Choices 2 and 5 are correct. The other sentences use too many commas and periods in the wrong placements. If you read it out and pause at each comma and period, the others will sound wrong to the ear. Hope this helps! :)

Why are the facts always near the beginning of a news article or report

arlik [135]

Answer:

This opening line is meant to attract the reader to the article's content. The lead also establishes the subject, sets the tone, and guides readers into the article. In a news story, the introductory paragraph includes the most important facts, and it also answers the key questions: who, what, where, when, why and how.
