The correct answer is A. persuasive essay.

Indeed, Wilson had sent a series of messages to Congress in order to persuade them to declare War on Germany and the Central Powers. It is a clear utilization of Pathos as he dismisses the idea that the war is being waged due to conflicting European imperial interests but due to the “savagery” of Germans. Historically speaking he was alluding to the decision of Germany to resume its U-Boat war against neutral civilian passenger ships. He is using relatable, emotional arguments to Congress and Americans who would be horrified if their own “men, women and children” were the victims of German “wholesome destruction”.

A letter to your friend telling him an excursion your school went and it's benefits

<u>A letter to my friend telling him an excursion my school went on and its benefits.</u>

24, Sixth Avenue,

4th cross Road,

Oregon,

United States.

Dear Timi,

              How are you today? How is family over there? I hope all is well with you? I am also doing great over here.

I am writing this letter to tell you about my experience in the recent excursion our school went on and how it has benefited me. The excursion took place at the white house where we had the opportunity to meet with the President of the United State of America. He was very friendly and welcoming. He personally took us around the white house and told us the history of the white house.

After the tour, he randomly gave 3 students a full scholarship to study in any of the colleges in the country for free after our high school and I was privileged to be among the recipient. I am really happy I won the scholarship and I thought of sharing it with you.

It is been a long time my friend. I have really missed you. I can't wait to see you after my graduation.

With love,

Mikky

shtirl [24]

Answer:

No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath.

Explanation:

The story <em>The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind</em> is based on the true-life story of the author William Kamkwamba who used his interest in science to help reduce the drought issue in his village. But the invention of the windmill also allows his village to have electricity which had never been heard of or seen in the whole of Malawi.

The given excerpt shows how William explains the workings of the proposed windmill. He demonstrates that <em>"The wind would spin the blades of the windmill, rotate the magnets in a dynamo, and create electricity"</em>. This will generate enough electrical power to help in providing irrigation even to the far fields and thus prevent drought in the land. The phrase that implied context that this will benefit Malawi and its people is when he states there will be need for the "<em>kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath".  </em>
