Answer:

B. clever

Explanation:

In his famous speech from 1852, later named "What to A Slave is The Fourth of July" Douglass uses this special date to express his views on the position of slaves in America at the time.

Comparing the fight of the Americans for their independance and against unjust treatment by the British to the situation of black community in the USA some seventy years later, he asks for understanding and support in the pursuit of those same values Americans fought for in the Revolution.

He also uses this argument to criticize respect of this values (freedom and rights) by white US citizens, while, at the same time restraining black people for obtaining them, using well chosen words and clever arguments to emphasize this hypocrisy.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

John Lewis uses the metaphor of "walking with the wind" to talk about our role in the world in that it should be the union of the people and the strength that results from this union, what makes us resists the "strongest winds" that affect our society. What his metaphor suggest about what it takes to strengthen communities and make a positive difference in the world is that, as the case of the 15 children that remained united inside that house, people should maintain that unity under the most difficult circumstances because that would be the way to stand in front adversity and defeat it. Congressman John Lewis is one of the most influential African American legislators that supports civil rights.

The winter evening settles down

taurus [48]

Answer:

See below:

Explanation:

It asks for 3 examples of imagery about trash and pollution.

a lonely cab-horse steams and

stamps- I don't think this is one. A horse is not trash, even if it is lonely.

broken blinds and chimney-pots-This is one of them. "Broken" blinds indicate trash and overusage.

the winter evening settles down-No. This is talking about weather.

newspapers from vacant lots-I think this is one of them. The term "vacant" gives the hint that it is trash, since the newspaper is no longer in use.

and then the lighting of the lamps-I don't think so. This is giving general imagery about the setting. It has nothing to do with trash or pollution.

grimy scraps of withered leaves-I think this is one of them as well. The word usage here obviously states that these leaves are old, fallen off the tree, and trash.

I hope I could help!
