<em>Alright, enough of the jibber jabbering... let me answer your question. </em>
<em />
<em>The Valley of Ashes is a farm where ashes grow like wheat into hills, ridges, and even gardens. It's very desolate and empty, marking the intersection of the city with the suburbs. It's between the East and West Egg and is created by the dumping of industrial waste. It symbolizes the moral and social decay, as well as the carefree pursuit of wealth, since the rich do as they please and don't care about anything else besides their own pleasure.</em>

The verb used would be ‘is’ because we’re talking about a group of people in the present tense. I feel we would use ‘are’ only if there were specific things were were talking about, like [we] are, [you] are, [jack and jill] are, etc. Though, this wouldn’t be the case with he and she, because they always need to be in present tense.

Coleridge is describing the beauty he sees around him, though he is depressed and cannot enjoy it.

Can’t catch my breath is an idiom figurative language. The term refers to a set expression or a phrase comprising of two or more words.
The correct answer is; Because of British oppression, Americans should understand the plight of slaves.
Further Explanation:
In an excerpt from the letter Mr. Banneker mentions how Americans were mistreated by the British Crown and how Americans fought for their freedom. He was writing the letter so that he could appeal to Thomas Jefferson's own life lessons he had lived through with the British.
There was nothing in the letter about people being of different religions and he did not speak about how more people learning will make them oppose slavery any more than they already did.
Benjamin Banneker was a freed slave who went on to become an author, farmer, and many other things in his lifetime. He self taught himself how to read and write.
