Answer:

I would say that the phrase that best describes the connotation of the word <em>reigns</em> in this excerpt from Frederick Douglass's speech <em>What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? </em>is the last one: <em>a sense of oppression and domination.</em>

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the speaker is trying to show his audience that, after all the experiences around the world they could get, they will end up choosing America's freedom and way of living. The message is: “<em>go travel the world and compare this way of living with others, and you will come back and appreciate this one</em>”; because, after all, America has no rival. The word reigns, in this excerpt means domination, prevalence, and it involves a sense of oppression because the region is under a certain domain and people there live by those rules.

Who from "Lord of the Flies" do you think would make the best leader?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

I personally think Ralph but others may think differently

Explanation:

To be a good leader, one must cater to the people while still being responsible and taking charge. In the story “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding, a group of boys get stuck on an island without adults from a plane crash. Two of the main characters, Ralph and Jack, wish to be leader, but eventually end up splitting into two groups that result in a bit of a rivalry. Between the two, Ralph is a much better leader.

Ralph cares more for the boys than Jack. When mentioned, Ralph shut down the idea of the beast in attempt for the boys not to worry, “But I tell you there isn’t a beast!” (Golding, pg. 36) Jack let them believe in the beast, “but if there was a snake we’d hunt it and kill it.” (pg. 36) This shows that Ralph doesn’t want the others to think it is possible so they don’t fear and only focus on the beast, while Jack lets them believe in the beast and fear it. Ralph accepted and listened to everyone, including Piggy, but Jack always shut Piggy down for no good reason and punished anyone that wouldn’t listen to him, trying to take complete control of them like they were his puppets.

Which sentence has the correct comma placement? Mark Twain was fond of condemning lying by saying "If you tell the truth, you do
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Mark Twain was fond of condemning lying by saying, "If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything."

Explanation:

Quotations are usually used with a colon after a sentence. However, they can also be introduced with a comma when there is an introductory phrase before it, such as <em>by saying</em>. On the other hand, when the quotation is introduced in the sentence, the comma is not necessary, like the first sentence.
