Read the following passage from William Faulkner's Nobel Prize speech:

1 answer:

8 0

He's certainly not saying anything that even resembles D. He is talking about something created that was not there before. He is talking about a work produced by the agony of the human spirit to create something that was not there before using the tools available to him. It says nothing about being deserving.

A is a specific group to be addressed. I wouldn't pick it. He says nothing about fellow writers, although they undoubtedly benefit from what he says.

C is too specific. He is not really talking about genius. He would have to classify himself that way, and he doesn't.

That only leaves B. I hate multiple guess because the correct answer is embedded in the mind of whoever asked you the question. I don't like B but of the 4 choices it is the only one you could pick. Be very prepared to be told it is the wrong choice.

What was the solution to the debate over the slave status of new territories in the Kansas-Nebraska Act?

seraphim [82]

Answer: Popular Sovereignty

Explanation:

Prior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the slave status of a new territory would be decided by the Missouri Compromise which based the state's slave status on geographical location as it prohibited slavery in states to the North of the 36°30′ parallel (excluding Missouri).

In 1854 however, a bill that would later be known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act was introduced to Congress by Sen. Stephen A. Douglas who hoped to gain support from Southern politicians for a state to be established on land gained from the Louisiana purchase.

The bill called for the status of a state to be decided by Popular Sovereignty which essentially meant that the people of the state would decide whether or not they wanted to be a free state instead of Congress as had previously been the case.

With this act therefore, the new territories would decide their status by themselves.

What is an author's tone when they give information about a topic?

Lunna [17]

It depends what they are talking about.

If they are talking about the bombing of 9/11 then the tone would be serious, sad, mad at the other country for doing what they did.
But, if they are talking about a major- fun holiday- like Halloween then the tone would happy, excited, energetic! It just depends what the topic the author is talking about!!
Hoped this helped you! :))
