Answer:

Thomas Jefferson wrote that “all men are created equal,” and yet enslaved more than six-hundred people over the course of his life. Although he made some legislative attempts against slavery and at times bemoaned its existence, he also profited directly from the institution of slavery and wrote that he suspected black people to be inferior to white people in his Notes on the State of Virginia.

Throughout his entire life, Thomas Jefferson was publicly a consistent opponent of slavery. Calling it a “moral depravity”1 and a “hideous blot,”2 he believed that slavery presented the greatest threat to the survival of the new American nation.3 Jefferson also thought that slavery was contrary to the laws of nature, which decreed that everyone had a right to personal liberty.4 These views were radical in a world where unfree labor was the norm.

What is the women in somalia

ivolga24 [154]

Being a woman in Somalia is extremely diffucult. It is one of the most dangerous places to live in if you are a woman. It is, not only because of the constant war, but also because of the lack of medical assistance and violence. In fact, the greater risk a woman can take is to get pregnant. The risk of dying from maternal causes there is 1 in 14. Apart from this they also face the risk of beung shoot, raped and the practice of genital mutilation. These are somo of the reason why being a woman in Somalia is painful.

c) Antony predicts that the land will be bloodied by men fighting men.

e) Antony expects Caesar's ghost to seek retribution for the wrongs done.

In the speech, Antony seeks "pardon" to the corpse of Caesar for being "meek and gentle with these butchers" who had murdered him. He prophesied that the land will be full of war, man fighting against the men who had done the murderous deed,

"Domestic fury and fierce civil strife

Shall cumber all the parts of Italy;

Blood and destruction shall be so in use".

He also seeks retribution from Caesar's ghost for the wrongs that had been done to him. He invokes "Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge [.....] hot from hell", will come and create havoc for the men responsible for his death.

Thus, the correct answers are options a), c) and e).
