Read the passage from "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania (August 23, 1769)." Dearest Father, Brother, and Siste

r and Brother-in-law, I have told you quite fully about the trip, and I will tell you what will not surprise you—that we have a free country. Of the sundry craftsmen, one may do whatever one wants. Nor does the land require payment of tithes [taxes to support a local landlord, typical in Europe]. . . . The land is very big from Canada to the east of us to Carolina in the south and to the Spanish border in the west. . . . One can settle wherever one wants without asking anyone when he buys or leases something. . . . What does the author have in mind when he calls America a "free country"?

Explanation:

In "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania" America is the symbol for a free country. By this adjective "free" the author wants to explain how is America a place for living. Free means that everyone is welcome to come.  The author creates a picture of America, where you can settle without asking everyone, where there is a wide landscape, spacious land "from Canada to the east of us to Carolina in the south and to the Spanish border in the west".

One of the most important detail is there is no payment for taxes to land, but in Europe, you must pay. Free country for author means there are no obligations for living there. He thinks that America is promised land.

Dancers from the movie Rize continue to spread their inspirational message of hope to Los Angeles’ South Central youth.
marishachu [46]
The correct answer is the first option - <span>The sentence is correct as written. 
The word 'dancers' is plural, which means that the verb which agrees with that subject also has to be plural. In the original sentence, the verb 'continue' is plural, which is why it is the only correct option. All other options have singular verbs and are therefore incorrect.</span>

Helllo,
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The “American Dream” has been a recurring theme in President Trump’s rhetoric. He invoked it in announcing his bid for the presidency, saying, “Sadly, the American Dream is dead. But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before and we will make America great again.” He celebrated its return in a speech in February to the Conservative Political Action Conference, saying, “The American Dream is back bigger, better and stronger than ever before.”

And recently, he has invoked it in his law-and-order-focused tweets, saying: “Suburban voters are pouring into the Republican Party because of the violence in Democrat run cities and states. If Biden gets in, this violence is ‘coming to the Suburbs’, and FAST. You could say goodbye to your American Dream!”

Of course, the American Dream is part of the political discourse for both the left and the right. Richard Nixon invoked the American Dream in accepting the Republican presidential nomination in 1968. Democrat Jimmy Carter mentioned it in his inaugural address in 1977. Ronald Reagan invoked it in his 1980s prime-time addresses to the nation. Barack Obama embraced it in his book “The Audacity of Hope.”

Analyze the setting that Dante develops in Canto XXI. Examine how 1) the choices the author makes to describe the setting and 2)
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In Canto IV of Dante Alighieri's Inferno, Dante starts to explore the first circle of Hell, called Limbo. This circle is described as the false heaven for those who can not worship the Christian religion. This allows readers to understand that people suspended in this first circle of Hell were not sinners and were placed in a circle of hell so as to maintain order, giving people a place to live after death. Dante uses widely acknowledged figures, such as Aristotle and Socrates to portray Limbo to readers. He makes that to show the place where they live with human wisdom but without God's light, emphasizing that they lived on earth as intellectuals in the field of human wisdom.
