Answer:

C. unpleasant

Explanation:

The word "odious" resembles the word "unpleasant" in meaning, as it refers to something that inspires hate. However, if you do not know the meaning of a word, it is always a good strategy to look at the context of the sentence. In this sentence, we learn that "odious" refers to heavy housework, and in particular actions such as washing linen, carrying slops and water. All of these are likely to be unpleasant activities.

Jefferson begins the introduction to the Declaration of Independence by stating his major premise and giving examples, and then
ExtremeBDS [4]

Jefferson begins the introduction to the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> by stating his major premise and giving examples, and then explains the relationship between the colonies and Britain.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

The <em>Declaration of Independence</em> begins by stating that it is necessary to state the reasons that caused the colonies to separate themselves from Britain. The next paragraph goes on to state all of the truths that people believe should be afforded to them under the laws of humanity, along with what people should be allowed to do if these rights are violated. Then it goes on to show how Britain violated these rights with the American colonies.

Wrong Answers

B. While the unalienable rights of all people are mentioned in the introduction, they are not fully explained in his introduction. He just lists them as "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". We learn more about these rights as we see how Britain has violated them later on in the document.

C. It is clear from the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> that Jefferson believed that governments should always represent their people. It is not however explained explicitly. It does show how governments must do right by their people in respect to the basic laws of humanity, unalienable rights.

D. The <em>Declaration of Independence</em> is not a declaration of war. While it does address the fact that the colonies will forcibly oppose British rule and any efforts Britain makes to keep control of the colonies, the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> does not outright state that it is choosing to wage war against Britain.

Nataly_w [17]
If whipped is not a part of the underlined sentence, we can rule out a verb, leaving "through the massive trees" which is an adjective phase, as it is describing the "massive" trees.
