Answer:

Because Dred Scott and his family were born in the United States, they are citizens with all the rights granted by the Constitution.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this is the passage that the question refers to:

<em>"It will be observed, that the plea applies to that class of persons only whose ancestors were negroes of the African race, and imported into this country, and sold and held as slaves. The only matter in issue before the court, therefore, is, whether the descendants of such slaves, when they shall be emancipated, or who are born of parents who had become free before their birth, are citizens of a State, in the sense in which the word "citizen” is used in the Constitution of the United States. . . . . . . The question before us is, whether the class of persons described in the plea in abatement compose a portion of this people, and are constituent members of this sovereignty? We think they are not, and that they are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States."</em>

In this passage, the opinion of the author is that Dred Scott cannot be considered an American citizen because he is the descendant of slaves. The author argues that slaves were not considered as "citizens" when the Constitution was written, and therefore, their children cannot be citizens either. However, a counterclaim to this statement would be the argument that Dred Scott and his family should be considered citizens because they were born in the United States, and therefore, deserve all the rights that citizenship grants them.

The most effective thesis would be that While lawns and swimming pools offer different benefits, homeowners who choose wisely can turn their backyard into moneymakers.

<h3>Which explanatory thesis compares pools and lawns best?</h3>

Pools can be expensive to set up and require more water in the short run, but they can be used to make money from pool activities.

This is the same for lawns which can allow for people to be more interest in property purchases. Both of them can therefore result in money being made.

Which four parts of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" show that the White family doubts the major's story?
Simora [160]
Among the lines in the excerpt, these four lines best shows that Mr. White and Herbert doubt Seargent-major's story:

<span>1.) "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'” said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "<em>Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me</em>."
</span>
2.) "If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "<em>we shan't make much out of it.</em>"

<span>3.) "Likely," said Herbert, with pretended horror. "Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. <em>Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked</em>."

</span><span>4.) Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and <em>eyed it dubiously</em>. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said, slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."

Other lines, not included above, were said by </span>Seargent-major so that's out of the choices.
