In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country w

as founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation”—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.

The first paragraph contains which of the following?
A.
pun
B.
apostrophe
C.
synecdoche
D.
simile
E.
purple patch

Which statement best summarizes the final two paragraphs of Chapter I of Nature?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The power in nature that one perceives is due both to nature and to one’s own intelligence.

Explanation:

In the last paragraph but one, the author says, "The greatest delight which the fields and woods minister, is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable." And the final paragraph starts with this statement, "Yet it is certain that the power to produce this delight, does not reside in nature, but in man, or <u>in a harmony of both</u>."

Pre-Columbian art and culture is the culture of the Americas prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The question is basically asking: "True or false: Pre-Columbian art and culture was produced in the Americas before the arrival of Christopher Columbus".

This statement is true. As can be seen from the name of this art movement / art type, it's called "Pre-Columbian". "Pre" means before, so essentially, the name says that the art and culture is "before Columbus", making the statement correct.

Hope this helps!
