In modern America, we do not punish immoral behavior. We have a judicial system that addresses illegal behavior, but illegal and immoral are not necessary the same thing. For example, committing adultery is an immoral act but not an illegal one.
Only behavior that breaks the law can be punished; these punishments, furthermore, must not be "cruel and unusual." Dante's punishments, on the other hand, would definitely be considered cruel and unusual by modern American standards.
Today, we punish immoral (but not illegal) behavior by public shaming. That is, a woman who has been cheated on will often take to social media to publicly shame her husband. By bad behavior "going viral," people are punished for bad behavior outside a formal punishment. It should be noted, however, that public shaming might be considered cruel and unusual, so Dante might just have approved!
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A The space race might have been costly, but to call it harmful for the American economy is an exageration. Especially if you compare it with the military weapons race both countries maintained.
B You can <em>generate </em>jobs but you can´t generate <em>salaries.</em>
C The military weapons race proved to be too much for the Sovjet Union; the U.S. seemed to handle both races without too much problems.
The quote that clearly shows that Sagoyewatha is determined not to sell the land is "They bought them, piece after piece, for a little money paid to a few men in our nation, and not to all our brethren . . ."
<h3>How does this quote present Sagoyewatha's thinking?</h3>
- It shows that the sale of land is not profitable.
- It shows that the money received is not enough to make everyone happy.
- It shows that the money would not be shared equally.
Sagoyewatha shows that the sale of land is disadvantageous, as it will cause the people to lose a very precious asset and receive little money, which will not be able to compensate them for the lack of land.
He also claims that the profits from this sale are not evenly distributed, leaving some community members in a very bad situation as they will be left without money and land.

C. I thought about what he'd said soon I realized he was right.
A run-on sentence is a sentence that contains two independent clauses that are not joined with the correct punctuation. An independent clause has a subject and verb and contains a complete thought. Sentence C has two complete thoughts with a subject and verb, but no punctuation to connect them correctly. The independent clauses are "I thought about what he'd said" and "Soon I realized he was right". To correct this sentence the author would need to use a semicolon (;) between the clauses or use a comma and conjunction. While some of the other sentence contain extra conjunctions (option B and D), they don't have two subject and verb phrases. Option A uses a semicolon to join the two independent clauses which makes it grammatically correct.
