Some sentences are "We had passed through long walls of piled skeletons, with casks and puncheons intermingling, into the inmost recesses of the catacombs." 
This sentence speaks of the dead bodies or what is left of them. Another sentence is "We are below the river's bed. The drops of moisture trickle among the bones." This sentence describes the eerie setting. We also red about the grossness of the drunk fool. This adds to the unknowingly fact that it is dark, and eerie, and something will happen. Hope this helped.

The right option is They outline reasons that support the claim that "it becomes necessary... to dissolve the political bands" with England. According to Thomas Jefferson, all men are born with the rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The state of things back then, with the mentioned political bands with England, were preventing the American colonies to achieve or fully enjoy such rights. First off, governments are instituted from the consent of the governed people; this is not possible under a king (kings, and particularly kings from European empires such as France and England, used to have absolute power and were despots). Then, in order to establish a new government which will set rules and regulations for the governed ones to abide by on the pretense that such regulations and rules aim at protecting and benefitting them (which is what national Constitutions are for), the people has a right to throw off a regime threatening their independent lives, liberties and pursuit of happiness. Lastly, it is stated that the present King of Great Britain does not respect the rights or self-determination of people living in any of the initial Thirteen United States of America and, according to Jefferson, seeks the establishment of an absolute Tyranny. All the above reasons led to the necessity of cutting bonds from Great Britain.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sojourner Truth (/soʊˈdʒɜːrnər truːθ/; born Isabella "Belle" Baumfree; c. 1797 – November 26, 1883) was an American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to recover her son in 1828, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man.

She gave herself the name Sojourner Truth in 1843 after she became convinced that God had called her to leave the city and go into the countryside "testifying the hope that was in her". Her best-known speech was delivered extemporaneously, in 1851, at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. The speech became widely known during the Civil War by the title "Ain't I a Woman?", a variation of the original speech re-written by someone else using a stereotypical Southern dialect, whereas Sojourner Truth was from New York and grew up speaking Dutch as her first language. During the Civil War, Truth helped recruit black troops for the Union Army; after the war, she tried unsuccessfully to secure land grants from the federal government for formerly enslaved people (summarized as the promise of "forty acres and a mule"). She continued to fight on behalf of women and African Americans until her death. As her biographer Nell Irvin Painter wrote, "At a time when most Americans thought of slaves as male and women as white, Truth embodied a fact that still bears repeating: Among the blacks are women; among the women, there are blacks."

A memorial bust of Truth was unveiled in 2009 in Emancipation Hall in the U.S. Capitol Visitor's Center. She is the first African American woman to have a statue in the Capitol building.  In 2014, Truth was included in Smithsonian magazine's list of the "100 Most Significant Americans of All Time".
