The correct answer is: The map illustrates the size of the Louisiana Purchase and suggests its economic potential.
Indeed, since the map does not have any highlighted areas that show the extent of sugar plantations, it can only be deducted that it only shows the economic potential of the territory by showing how so much of it is located within the warm, Sun Belt of the United States where the climate is favorable for the cultivation of sugar (especially the humid areas of Southern Louisiana and Texas.
After the Haitian revolution and its horrors, many free colored Haitians (and some white Haitians) escaped to the United States and started large sugar plantations since most sugar plantations in Haiti were devastated and never recovered.
The correct answer is A. The captain said, "But he needn't come round when you are on watch, Mr. Brown."
Explanation
There are many rules for correct writing. One of them states that when quotation marks are used, the period at the end of the sentence must be placed within quotation marks. On the other hand, another grammar rule states that when an introductory sentence is given, it must be separated from the quotation by a comma. According to the above rules, the correct answer is A. because the introductory part "The captain said" is separated from the second part of the sentence using a comma. Also, the second part of the sentence that is between the quotation marks, places the final period within the quotation marks. So the correct answer is A. The captain said, "But he needn't come round when you are on watch, Mr. Brown."
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A is wrong because it has a period after, <em>down</em> when it should be a comma. The comma signals that that part of the sentence is what he is saying. He is also capitalized when it should be lower case. B is wrong because it has nothing after, <em>down</em> and nothing after <em>said</em>. C is wrong because again, there's nothing after <em>down.</em> The part option C did get right is the comma after said. D has all the commas in the right places and all the words are capitalized when they're supposed to.
Answer and explanation:
Note: I'm writing according to my responses while I read the story. Feel free to change anything to make it true for yourself.
Unlike readers at the time when the story was published, I've found it amusing and intelligent. At first, I assumed Mrs. Mallard would be another simple, shallow, tragic character. Her reaction after hearing of her husband's presumed death seemed quite normal, since she looked devastated. For an instant I thought she would die from her heart condition even though her sister and friend were careful while giving her the news. However, to my delight and surprise, Mrs. Mallard finds enlightenment at that sad moment. Her house and her husband have meant confinement for her. She has been obedient, submissive, impotent her whole life. As she locked her bedroom door, I thought she wouldn't know what to do without Mr. Mallard. But she looked out the window, saw the beautiful world that did not stop existing due to her husband's death, and realized she was finally free. The story suddenly got a thousand times more interesting. This woman, this seemingly shallow character, is actually deep and colorful. She has a will to live that had been buried. Now that the main symbol of her oppression as a woman is gone, she is at liberty to feel, think, and do as she pleases. It was comically tragic when she indeed died of her heart condition upon finding out her husband was alive. I hoped the story would end with Mrs. Mallard leaving the house and heading towards her new life. Still, the irony of the situation is amusing. Other characters assumed she died of happiness when we, the readers, know she died of disappointment.
Jennifer Granholm gave a speech that commemorates Rosa Parks. At the end of her speech she gave great emphasis that Michigan is ready to do their duty because they are enlisted in war for a cause. She also told that people are continuing the struggle that Rosa Parks started.
Hope this helped.
