English

Katen [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer and Explanation:

One lesson Twain learns as a cub pilot is to trust himself. As an apprentice, he works under Mr. Bixby. Upon being given the chance to navigate on his own, Twain is initially very confident in his own skills. However, Mr. Bixby asks him if he is really sure he can do it. Twain grows immediately insecure. He doubts himself, even though he truly knows what to do. It was all a test. Bixby wanted to teach him a lesson: to never doubt his own skills because of what others say.

maxonik [38]

This question is missing the excerpts. I was able to find the complete question online. The excerpts are the following:

Mr. Luther King Jr.: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness."

Governor George Wallace's inaugural speech: "We invite the negro citizens of Alabama to work with us from his separate racial station . . . as we will work with him . . . to develop, to grow in individual freedom and enrichment."

Answer:

The excerpts conflict because:

B. the first suggests that all are born with equal rights, while the second suggests that certain citizens need to be separated in order to become equal.

Explanation:

While Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states that all men, independently of race, are born equal, Governor George Wallace states the opposite. According to him, black people can work with white people, only separately. He claims that there is equality and freedom in segregation, which we all know to be impossible. As we can see, the two excerpts present conflicting ideas. The first defies segregation while the second tries to justify it and maintain it. Having that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option.

Answer:

<em>She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of  rain was in the air. In the street below peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached  her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.</em>

Explanation:

Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour" is about the character of Mrs. Mallard and how she develops as a woman, depicted through the news of her husband's death. The short story deals with themes of gender, freedom, repression, identity, self-discovery, etc.

When Mrs. Mallard heard of the news of her husband's death, she did not react like a normal woman whose husband had just died would have reacted. Rather, she went into another room and stayed there, thinking of the freedom she's just been given. The narrator uses the words <em>"open"</em>, <em>"new spring of life"</em>, <em>"delicious breath of rain"</em>, etc. which all exude a positive attitude rather than the expected gloomy reaction or observation for someone who's just lost a loved one.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
