What does the speaker mean by the phrase “obscured by eloquence” in paragraph 3

This is a very good example of anaphora that is used in highly emotional passages for its emphatic and unifying characteristics. In this example we have Senator Margaret Chase, addressing Congress to speak against McCarthyism in 1950: " I speak as briefly as possible because too much harm has already been done with irresponsible words of bitterness and selfish political opportunism. I speak as simply as possible because the issue is too great to be obscured by eloquence. I speak simply and briefly in the hope that my words will be taken to heart." A person who is eloquent is paying more attention to the way they are speaking rather than the content itself. Here, an urgent matter can not wait for politeness. Usually polititians who want to hide something or distract the audience speak more eloquently even using verse sometimes. The point is that some issues are so grave and urgent that eloquence is not neccessarty when talking about them.

Nata [24]

Answer: 0.9765

Explanation:

The cumulative distribution function for exponential distribution for random variable x is given by :-

F(x)=1-e^{-\lambda x}, where \lambda is the mean of the distribution .

Given : On average, 5 customers arrive at the drive-up window of a fast-food restaurant every 4 minutes during the lunch hour.

Then \lambda=\dfrac{5}{4}=1.25

Now, the probability that the next customer will arrive within three minutes :-

P(x< 3)=1-e^{-1.25 \times 3}=0.97648225\approx0.9765

Hence, the probability that the next customer will arrive within three minutes = 0.9765

Reverend Buckminster licked his lips. "What were you doing on Malaga Island?"
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The opposing forces are Rev. Buckminster and his son Turner Buckminster.

It is a man vs man/ individual vs. individual/ person vs person conflict.

The conflict is related to the setting for the story happens during the racist prejudice era.

Explanation:

The conflict in a narrative story is the contrast in the forces or elements in play. These opposing forces try to suppress each other, further forwarding the plot.

The conflict in the passage from the story "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt is between Turner Buckminster and his father Rev, Buskminster. The Rev. does not like his son hanging around with people such as Lizzie, who are of a colored section. The setting of the story being during the racism, Turner had been prevented by his father to stay away from the colored people. But rather than doing what he's told, he began to hang around more and more with Lizzie. Thus, the opposing forces of the conflict are the father and son.

The type of conflict is man vs. man or individual/ person vs. individual/person. This type of conflict happens when a man or an individual have conflicting interests from another individual.

The conflict in this scene is related to the setting for the interests of the two individuals are different from each other. Since the theme of racial discrimination is prevalent in the story, the conflict in the two individuals' beliefs also led to the further advancement of the story.
