Read a paragraph from an essay supporting Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb against Japan during World War II. [1] Many p

eople have argued that nothing could justify the president’s use of the atomic bomb because it killed so many innocent civilians. [2] Truman himself refused to drop a third atomic bomb on Japan because he was horrified by the death and devastation it had caused. [3] However, he never regretted his decision to use it in the first place. [4] Using the bomb brought an immediate end to a war that might have gone on for months or even years longer. [5] It is impossible to put a number on how many more deaths the continuing war might have caused, but there are indications. [6] Millions had already died in the Pacific theater. [7] Whenever US troops invaded an island, they knew the fight was to the death. [8] In the battle for Okinawa alone, there had been almost 50,000 US casualties, while Japan had suffered some 90,000 military deaths and at least 100,000 civilian deaths. [9] With his decision, Truman put an end to the slaughter. Which of these sentences should be followed by a citation? sentence 2 sentence 4 sentence 5 sentence 9

Answer:

[5] It is impossible to put a number on how many more deaths the continuing war might have caused, but there are indications.

Explanation:

This sentence should be followed by a citation since it carries a different verb tense from  the rest. This sentence is in the simple present and it reflects somebody's opinion. Therefore, it may imply a first- person sentence. The rest of the excerpt is in third person , it talks about Truman 's decision to drop the atomic bomb , and the verb tense is in the past

Critic means:<br> O<br> claimant<br> O colleague<br> Cultivator
lakkis [162]

the most fitting one is <em>Claimant</em>

Critic is someone who gives their opinion on something, that could be friendly or harsh. Claimant means someone who makes a claim.

I'm probably wrong, but that is my best guess

mel-nik [20]

Correct answer choice is :


<h2>A) “Harlem” uses all five senses, while “The Weary Blues” relies mainly on the sense of sound.</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The Weary Blues was written during the rise of the Harlem Renaissance, in the 1920's. Langston Hughes' poem The Weary Blues, which is set in an era before the Civil Rights Movement, indicates a number of causes for the fatigue of the musician. In the poem Harlem, Langston Hughes helps readers examine their dreams and what it means to delay them. As such, the poem is often attributed to a Dream Deferred.
