PART A: Which TWO statements best describe the central ideas of the article?

SAT
1 answer:
andrew-mc [135]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

I assume you are referring to Jessica McBirney's article "Emmett Till". If that's the case, the two correct statements are C ) The national attention received by Emmett Till’s murder embarrassed many Southerners into fighting for racial equality and E ) Emmett Till’s death turned him into a symbol of America’s racial injustice, inspiring many to promote equality for all.

Explanation:

After Bryant and Milam admitted to killing the boy without showing any regret, there were various reactions - both positive and negative. <u>Some Southerners did condemn their act as well as American justice system that set them free.</u> Also, <u>Emmett's death did fuel the Civil Rights movement, inspiring Rosa Parks' famous act of civil disobedience, as well as the Montgomery Bus Boycott that ensued</u>.

The statement A) doesn't stand because <u>Emmett wasn't just a random innocent boy who got unlucky</u>. He was killed because of his race, which probably wouldn't have happened if he had been a white boy.

B) is slightly misleading because <u>it wasn't only Mississippi that changed its justice system</u>. The changes were systematic and happened at the federal level.

D) isn't correct because <u>Emmett wasn't a random victim of "some" people's hate and fear</u>. If we put it like that, it would relativize the crime.

Finally, F) isn't correct because <u>not all Southerners thought he deserved to die</u>. Only these particular Southerners, Bryant and Milam, did. Even though racism was prevalent in the South, it doesn't mean that all Southerners were racists - or that all of them would have done the same.

I need a recent example of President Trump acting as Commander in Chief
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

WASHINGTON — He canceled a trip to a cemetery in France where American soldiers from World War I are buried. He did not go to the observance at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day. He has not visited American troops in Iraq or Afghanistan.

And shortly after becoming commander in chief, President Trump asked so few questions in a briefing at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., that top military commanders cut the number of prepared PowerPoint slides to three — they had initially planned 18 — said two officials with knowledge of the visit.

The commanders had slotted two hours for the meeting, but it lasted less than one.

Rhetorically, Mr. Trump has embraced the United States’ 1.3 million active-duty troops as “my military” and “my generals” and has posted on Twitter that under his leadership, the American armed forces will be “the finest that our Country has ever had.” But top Defense Department officials say that Mr. Trump has not fully grasped the role of the troops he commands, nor the responsibility that he has to lead them and protect them from politics.

“There was the belief that over time, he would better understand, but I don’t know that that’s the case,” said Col. David Lapan, a retired Marine who served in the Trump administration in 2017 as a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security. “I don’t think that he understands the proper use and role of the military and what we can, and can’t, do.”
