Answer:
Explanation:
The Declaration of Independence is perhaps the most masterfully written state paper of Western civilization. As Moses Coit Tyler noted almost a century ago, no assessment of it can be complete without taking into account its extraordinary merits as a work of political prose style. Although many scholars have recognized those merits, there are surprisingly few sustained studies of the stylistic artistry of the Declaration.1 This essay seeks to illuminate that artistry by probing the discourse microscopically--at the level of the sentence, phrase, word, and syllable. By approaching the Declaration in this way, we can shed light both on its literary qualities and on its rhetorical power as a work designed to convince a "candid world" that the American colonies were justified in seeking to establish themselves as an independent nation.2
The text of the Declaration can be divided into five sections--the introduction, the preamble, the indictment of George III, the denunciation of the British people, and the conclusion. Because space does not permit us to explicate each section in full detail, we shall select features from each that illustrate the stylistic artistry of the Declaration as a whole.3
The introduction consists of the first paragraph--a single, lengthy, periodic sentence:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.4
The paragraph missing from the question is the following:
<em>The IT department is in the process of overhauling our website. This update will require the implementation of a separate server for our company intranet and e-mail. This conversion will require a 24-hour downtime. As a result, all intranet and e-mail services will be unavailable on Saturday. </em>
Answer:
To inform the reader that the company intranet and e-mail services will be unavailable on Saturday.
Explanation:
The author explains what the IT department will do and how long its activities will be only to inform why the company intranet and e-mail services will be unavailable. The major purpose of the paragraph is to inform the reader that the company intranet and e-mail services will be unavailable on Saturday. The whole text revolves around that point because if we were to remove the non-essential information of the text, everything would be removed except for the part that informs that such services will be unavailable on Saturday.
