Answer:

This is the corrected text with proper punctuation:

One of my favorite parts of the trip was seeing the “Statue” of “Liberty”. I learned that it was a gift to the “United” “States” from the “French”. On another day, we met the “mayor”; his name was “Mayor” Bloomberg. Mom and “Dad” thought it was outrageous how expensive everything was. Dad said, “Next “year we’re going to “Las” Vegas”.”

Explanation:

Rules of capitalization that helped find the mistakes in the text:

* Proper nouns should be capitalized, proper nouns include names of countries, cities, nationalities, manmadestructures, proper names: examples in text "Statue of Liberty", "United States", "French", "Bloomberg", "Las Vegas".

* The first letter of a quotation should be capitalized as in "Next" in the text.

* Titles should not be capitalized unless followed by a name. So in the text, the word "mayor" alone should be in lowercase whereas the word mayor as in "Mayor Bloomberg" should be capitalized.

* Relatives´ family names such as Mom and Dad should be capitalized as in "Mom and Dad thought it would be..."

Which excerpt from Fast Food Nation best illustrates the author’s use of the rhetorical appeal logos? Her family’s modest townho
MariettaO [177]

The excerpt from Fast Food Nation that best illustrates the author's use of the rhetorical appeal logos is "English is now the second language of at least one-sixth of the nation's restaurant workers, and about one-third of that group speaks no English at all".

The fast-food chains began to hire other marginalized workers: recent immigrants, the elderly, and the handicapped. The amount of fast food workers who cannot speak English is very high. Many of them only know the names of the items on the menu; they speak "McDonald's English".

What does Achebe’s use of the phrase "laying a claim” suggest about his perception of Conrad?
LenaWriter [7]

Read the excerpt from Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness.

And the intimate profundity of that look he gave me when he received his hurt remains to this day in my memory—like a claim of distant kinship affirmed in a supreme moment.

Read the excerpt from "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness.”

It is important to note that Conrad, careful as ever with his words, is concerned not so much about "distant kinship" as about someone laying a claim on it. The black man lays a claim on the white man which is well-nigh intolerable. It is the laying of this claim which frightens and at the same time fascinates Conrad.

What does Achebe’s use of the phrase "laying a claim” suggest about his perception of Conrad?

It reveals that he is using the phrase ironically to describe an unlikely relationship.

It shows that he thinks that Conrad is uncomfortable with the idea of African power.

It shows that he is trying to suggest a more profound, long-lasting, and spiritual claim than Conrad did in the novella.

It reveals that he is using the phrase in a more positive way to suggest that there are invisible bonds that link black and white people.

Answer:

It reveals that he is using the phrase ironically to describe an unlikely relationship

Explanation:

According to the excerpts from Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness", the narrators talk about the pain which is compared to laying a claim to a distant kinship and also how he is frightened about the idea of someone laying a claim to a distant kinship.

Therefore, Achebe uses the phrase "laying a claim” to suggest that his perception of Conrad reveals that he is using the phrase ironically to describe an unlikely relationship.
