Answer:
B. “the charges were laughable” (Paragraph 20)
Explanation:
Thes question refers to the article "A Child Of Slavery Who Thought A Generation" which tells the story of Anna Cooper.
She was, amongst other things, a principal and a teacher in first public high school for black students. Her work was amazing and very inspirational, which obviously bothered some people which led to a scandal ginned up against her.
The word "ginned up" means that something was started, agitated, increased or generated in a dubious manner and with dishonest purpose. This means that accusations were made only to throw dirt on her, without any factual evidence.
The sentence that best supports this is "the charges were laughable".
Although many prominent people stood in her defence, Cooper had to resign her principal's post due to the scandal and public pressure.
The first questions answer is B
Whilst the second question answer is A
Answer:
Grover Cleveland was in office from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897. <em><u>This</u></em> circumstance makes him the <u><em>twenty-second</em></u> and the <u><em>twenty-fourth</em></u> president.
Explanation:
Adjectives are the words that modify or add to the meaning of a noun. They describe the noun in a much more detailed way, giving extra information about that particular noun.
In the given sentences, the <u>adjectives are "this" and "twenty-second" and "twenty-fourth"</u> because they describe the nouns in the sentence.
While "this", which is a demonstrative adjective, describes "circumstance", the other two adjectives "twenty-second" and "twenty-fourth" describe the noun "president".
Answer:
Humans living in or near the town.
Explanation:
Rachel Carson's short fairytale "A Fable For Tomorrow" is one of her collection of stories in her book "Silent Spring". This fable pictures a town full of life that suddenly changes to a deserted town after numerous maladies and illnesses overtook it.
Though the story started off with a quaint, nice, and peaceful town, it slowly progresses into a deserted, imaginary town. This was because of the <em>"a white granular powder [that] had fallen like snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields, and streams."</em> Though Carson admits in the end that this is no real story of any town, in particular, it still can be a possibility in many parts of America. And the source of this <em>"white powder"</em> is, as Carson wants to point out, the frequent use of pesticides and chemicals by humans.
Thus, the correct answer is the last option.
Fahrenheit 451
The Boy In The Striped Pajamas
Everything Everything
Our Man In Havana
Life of Pi
The Abyss Beyond Dreams
