Answer:
This is due to high biases of the judges towards black people along with lack of empathy for the black people.
Explanation:
Racial codes make it impossible for Tom to win trial because white people were extremely racist back then and even the judges were biased in favor of white people. In the book, this is demonstrated by Tom losing the trial with no factual evidence against him. Lastly, even a black person showing their feeling of pity or remorse for a white person angered white people back then because they felt they were being looked down upon.

Answer:
A. Alisha was angry with her brother for criticizing her
Explanation:
This question is about the text "After the Fire", where we learn that Alisha's house has been completely destroyed by fire, requiring her parents to build a new home. Alishia was happy to have a different house and asked her parents to have a room just for her and it was not necessary to share it with her sister. Entretnaot, Alishia's older brother, criticized her for making demands on parents who already had enough concerns, instead of being grateful for the privilege of having a new home. Alishia did not like his brother's criticism and said that he thinks that way because he never had to share a room with anyone.

There are different strategies. Some strategies are to use Grammarly, read it out loud ,let someone else read it, and print out your work.
Explanation:
Context clues are hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers, or it may follow in a preceding sentence. Because most of one’s vocabulary is gained through reading, it is important that you be able to recognize and take advantage of context clues.
There are at least four kinds of context clues that are quite common: 1) a synonym (or repeat context clue) which appears in that sentence; 2) anantonym (or contrast context clue) that has the opposite meaning, which can reveal the meaning of an unknown term; 3) an explanation for an unknown word is given (adefinition context clue) within the sentence or in the sentence immediately preceding; and 4) specific examples (an example context clue) used to define the term.
There may also be word-part context clues in which a common prefix, suffix, or root will suggest at least part of the meaning of a word. A general sense context clue lets the reader puzzle out a word meaning from whatever information is available – and this is the most common kind of context clue. Others describe context clues in three ways: 1) semantic or meaning clues, e.g., When reading a story about cats, good readers develop the expectation that it will contain words associated with cats, such as “tail,” “purr,” “scratch,” and “whiskers”; 2) syntactic or word order clues where the order of the words in a sentence can indicate that a missing word must be (for example, a verb); and 3) picture clues where illustrations help with the identification of a word.
