George Orwell’s “Shooting an Elephant”, which was written in 1936 posits that “when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys'' (7). Orwell supports his statement through an overarching allegory to colonialism, ambivalent diction, and extended metaphor of one's free will and power. His purpose is to show the complex nature of imperialism and the negative impact it has- not on the subjected peoples- but on the imperialists as well, in order to reveal to the audience that it is an institution of suffering for everyone involved. He conveys his point by explaining the feeling of the pressure of being forced to do what they want him to do despite the fact that it goes against his moral judgement. He undergoes the feeling of being in a position of power and therefore must do what the people want him to do and care for what the other people think of him. Orwells casual and colloquial diction suggests his audience was intended to be broad and varie, in order to ensure the reach of his social commentary.
most of it was correct and flowed nicely :3
there were a few things I fixed though! I hope this helps ^^
Answer:
The detective has suspected the possibility of foul play.
Explanation:
Note the word "possibility", which means that there is a chance of it occurring, but it is not 100% certain. Therefore, <em>suspected </em>is your best answer choice, as it means <em>having an idea of the existence, without certain proof</em>.

The quotations from the excerpt that best represent reasonable evidence to support the claim that Americans are losing confidence in their governments are 1 and 3:
1. For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years. (YES)
2. . . . the willingness of Americans to save for the future has fallen below that of all other people in the Western world.
(NO)
3. Two-thirds of our people do not even vote. (YES)
4. The productivity of American workers is actually dropping. . . (NO)
Evidence is generally used in argumentative essays to support a claim that the writer has made about a debatable topic. Moreover, evidence is included in order to make this claim more solid and convincing for the reader. In this case, <u>quotations 1 and 3 provide proper evidence because they are implying that most people do not have hope for a better future regarding political issues</u>.
Answer:
1. I have my car fixed.
- This is not the correct way to write this. It would make sense if it was "I am going to have my car fixed." However, the word "have" is present tense. That means you are currently having your car being fixed.
2. I had my car fixed.
- This is the correct way to write this. The word "had" is past tense. That means you already fixed your car.
Explanation:
Remember that "have" is a helping verb, and "had" is the past participle. "Have" is a present form while "had" is the past form.
The answer is A i did this before hope helps!
