Read the excerpt from part 4 of Zeitoun. He and Kathy worried about the reach of the Department of Homeland Security, its willin

gness to contact anyone born in or with a connection to the Middle East. So many of their Muslim friends had been interviewed, forced to send in documents and hire lawyers. But until now Zeitoun had been fortunate. He had had no experience with profiling, hadn’t been suspected of anything by anyone with real authority. There were the occasional looks askance, of course, sneers from people upon hearing his accent. Maybe, he thought, this was just one soldier, ignorant or cruel, wanting to stir things up. Why does the author include these details?

Answer:

to acknowledge the reality of racial profiling and scrutiny.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • to illustrate Zeitoun’s strong allegiance to the Middle East.
  • to explain the need for the Department of Homeland Security.
  • to acknowledge the reality of racial profiling and scrutiny.
  • to suggest Zeitoun’s involvement in suspicious activity.

In this excerpt, the author describes how Zeitoun needed to think about the reality of racial profiling in his daily life. We learn that he has not encountered this much throughout his life, but that he knows others who have, and that this situation is always on his mind anyway. This allows us to empathize with the problems that Muslim-Americans encounter on a day-to-day basis.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

"...Princess Matilda, though a daughter of the King of Scotland, and afterwards both Queen of England. niece to Edgar Atheling, and mother to the Empress of Germany, the daughter, the wife, and the mother of monarchs, was obliged, during her early residence for education in England, to assure the veil of a nun, as the only means of escaping the licentious pursuit of the Norman nobles. "

It was a matter of public knowledge, they said, that after the conquest of King William, his Norman followers, elated by so great a victory, acknowledged no law but their own wicked pleasure, and not only despoiled the conquered Saxons of their lands and their goods, but invaded the honor of their wives and of their daughters with the most unbridled license.

Explanation:

Two historical characters, Princess Matilda and King William, are mentioned and described in these two lines. Ivanhoe seems to be a work of historical fiction based on these two phrases.

1.Van Gogh’s paintings /be /almost /expensive /the work of Picasso.
Cloud [144]

Let's write complete sentences using the given words:

1. Van Gogh's paintings are almost as expensive as the work of Picasso.

2. We did not know the Recycled Orchestra until we watched the video online yesterday.

For the first sentence, we can see that the purpose is to compare the work of two painters, Van Gogh and Picasso. That is why we use the structure "as ... as". We must place the adjective "expensive" in the middle: "almost as expensive as".

For the second sentence, we do not need to add anything. However, because of the word "yesterday", we know the sentence refers to something that happened in the past. Thus, we use the Simple Past tense for the verbs: not know - did not know; watch - watched.

In conclusion, all we need to do is read the words to grasp what the purpose of each sentence is and then add or change whatever is necessary to form a complete sentence.
