Read this excerpt from Frederick Douglass’s speech “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery.” Fellow citizens, pardon me, and allow me

to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I or those I represent to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? And am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits, and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us? Would to God, both for your sakes and ours, that an affirmative answer could be truthfully returned to these questions. Then would my task be light, and my burden easy and delightful. For who is there so cold that a nation's sympathy could not warm him? Who so obdurate and dead to the claims of gratitude, that would not thankfully acknowledge such priceless benefits? Who so stolid and selfish that would not give his voice to swell the hallelujahs of a nation's jubilee, when the chains of servitude had been torn from his limbs? What effect is achieved by using a series of questions in this speech? It conveys a sense of wonderment about the tenets of the Declaration of Independence. It gets the audience to start thinking about whether the Declaration of Independence was beneficial for the slaves. It makes the audience begin to resent the policies and practices of the US government. It creates a parallel structure intended to urge the audience to protest against the Declaration of Independence.

Make an inference about Friar Laurence and Romeo’s relationship, and compare it to the nurse and Juliet’s relationship. Write th
iren [92.7K]
Although Friar Laurence is different from the nurse in terms of personality and how he holds himself, both he and the nurse are similar with their relationships with Romeo and Juliet. With Friar Laurence and Romeo, Romeo relies on Friar Laurence not to tell anyone about him and Juliet, and further asks him to participate by wedding them. This is similar to Juliet and the nurse because the nurse is also aware of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, but doesn’t tell anyone, and further participated by hiding their relationship and covering for Juliet. One more similarity is that FL and Romeo both rely on each not to reveal R&J’s relationship, because although the Friar is not apart of the relationship, if it were to be revealed, so would the Friar’s participation in it, and the same goes for Juliet and the nurse.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Gilderoy falls under b. Survivors and sustainers.

Explanation:

According to the explanation, Gilderoy is not that young anymore. He doesn't seem to have accomplished much in life concerning formal education and material success. For those reasons, the category he falls under is letter b. survivors and sustainers. According to the VALS model, survivors are usually older people who feel life has passed them by. Survivors are concerned with security, and tend to maintain old habits. Sustainers are often, but not necessarily, younger people who are poor, who wish to get ahead but find it hard to.

In the second paragraph, the author makes which of the following claims regarding the Class of 1990?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

C. They are unlikely to follow conventional paths in life.

Explanation:

Answer C

Correct. The author tells the Class of 1990 that they “need not, probably cannot, live a ‘paint-by-numbers’ [formulaic or conventional] life” because they “have a first class education from a first class school.” She uses this as an opportunity to offer her audience advice on how to approach the unconventional lives they should look forward to by asking them to “consider making three very special choices”: to “believe in something larger than yourself,” to find “the joy in life,” and to “cherish your human connections.”

Hope this will help
