I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland. I have no accurate kn

owledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember to have ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvest-time, cherry-time, spring-time, or fall-time. A want of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages. I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege.
How does Douglass's presentation of the information in this portion of paragraph 1 help to advance his overall argument concerning slavery?
A) It makes the reader conclude that some slaves had it worse than others.
B) It makes the reader aware of the reasons why slavery was first put into practice in the American South.
C) It makes the reader see the dehumanization inherent in a slave being raised without knowing his birthday.
D) It helps the reader to understand the mentality by which a slaveowner justified separating families.

Match each excerpt to the novel element its focuses on.
Liula [17]

Answer:

Setting:  

  • It was a poky little shop, and the man was arranging furniture outside on the pavement very cunningly so that the more broken parts should show as little as possible.
  • The wide High Street, even at the busy morning hour almost as quiet as a dream-street, lay bathed in sunshine.
  • And, sure enough, over the top of the forest, where it ran down in a tongue among the meadows, and ended in a pair of goodly green elms, about a bowshot from the field where they were standing, a flight of birds was skimming to and fro, in evident disorder.

Character:

  • Two persons were within; the first he readily knew to be Dame Hatch; the second, a tall and beautiful and grave young lady, in a long, embroidered dress—could that be Joanna Sedley?
  • Jerry's name was Gerald and not Jeremiah, whatever you may think; and Jimmy's name was James, and Kathleen was never called by her name at all, but Cathy, or Catty, or Cat.

Explanation: I took the test.

Which type of informational text gives a set of procedures to follow in order to reach a certain outcome?
Neporo4naja [7]

Text structure refers to how the information within a written text is organized. This strategy helps students understand that a text might present a main idea and details; a cause and then its effects; and/or different views of a topic.

The CCSS specify four types of informational text: literary nonfiction, expository, argument or persuasion, and procedural.

Hope this helped!!!

The "new literacies" are important both for classroom learning and for securing jobs after graduation.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a. In a 2014 survey of the top U. S. corporations, 89 percent stated that "technology literacy" was a very important consideration in their hiring decisions.

Explanation:

Based on the question, it is claimed that "new literacies" are vital to both classroom learning and getting jobs after graduation.

The evidence that would most likely support this claim would be option A. This is because the evidence is giving by the most credible source of all, which is the hiring corporations themselves.
