Answer: D) At 18, people are more mature and better able to make mature decisions.
Explanation: In the given excerpt we can see the description of the speaker's point of view about raising the driving age from 16 to 18 years old. The speaker thinks that teenagers should not be allowed to drive until they are 18, because most 15 and 16 years old are too immatures to make decisions and take responsibility of their driving. The sentences that best support the author's position is that at 18, people are more mature and better able to make mature decisions.
A journal written by frontier settlers will most likely not mention Manifest Destiny much. This was an idea that permeated policy, but it was rarely openly stated, especially among common people. However, the journal is likely to mention some ideas related to Manifest Destiny, such as the superiority of Western culture.
A journal of this type is also likely to mention how life was at the "frontier" and how American Indians struggled to keep their lands. It would also outline the difficult situations that settlers faced, such as being alone, being exhausted and being attacked by Native Americans.
This question is about the poem "No Man is an Island", by John Donne.
Answer:
The statement that best describes a theme of the poem is:
C. Everyone and everything in the world is connected as part of a larger whole.
Explanation:
No wonder the title of the poem says no man is an island. We are all connected; we are a continent, a family. If one of us dies, no matter where in the world, all the rest of us should grieve, according to the speaker. We are a part of a larger whole. No man is truly isolated for all men are a part of humankind:
<em>[...]any man's death diminishes me,
</em>
<em>because I am involved in mankind.
</em>
<em>And therefore never send to know for whom
</em>
<em>the bell tolls;</em>
<em>it tolls for thee.</em>
The third one is correct.
