orced to let it go; and it was high time, for a whole troop of old ones came about us at the noise, but finding the cub was safe . . . they durst not venture near us.

They preserve decency and civility in the highest degrees, but are altogether ignorant of ceremony. . . . [I]t is reason only that makes a distinction of persons . . . .” All of the following diction from the passages above illustrates animal or beast-like qualities except __________. “cub” “weasel” “scratching” “benevolence”

<span>“benevolence”

The definition of benevolence is 'kindness, the quality of being well meaning'. This definition does not indicate that the writer is referring at all to any sort of animal or animalistic qualities in the way that 'cub', 'weasel' and 'scratching' do to describe an animal.</span>

Why do the young men in the cattle car most likely bind, gag, and beat Mrs. Schächter? Select all that apply.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

A)  Her screams and apparent hallucinations terrify the other prisoners.

B)  She refuses to stop complaining about the conditions on the train.

E)  They do not want the morale of the prisoners to get any worse than it already is.

Explanation:

Mrs. Schachter is in a cattle car with other Jews who have been taken by the Nazis. These people have no idea where they are being driven to. The soldiers' treatment of them so far suggests that it won't end well for them when they reach their destination. Mrs. Schachter's responses to being crowded into a cattle car with a large number of other individuals and driven off to an unknown location reflect those of the rest. They are terrified of what is about to happen. Her screams are also so obnoxious and constant that they make the other prisoners extremely uncomfortable and anxious. Once they've had enough of her antics they decide to have her bound, gagged, and beaten. They later discover that Mrs. Schachter was correct. They do disembark in Auschwitz, where victims are gassed in rooms and corpses are cremated in ovens.
