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.

Three astronauts are stranded on a world populated by a rational but war-like people. The leader decides
Maru [420]

We can actually deduce here that the astronaut that raised his hand actually said that the colour of the feather placed on his helmet was blue and going further to give a logical explanation, he explained that this is because the sky of the planet where they are is blue.

<h3>What is logical explanation?</h3>

Logical explanation actually refers to the explanation that is given using logic and what everyone sees and knows. In logical reasoning, one speaks based on what he/she knows or acquires from reasoning or thinking through.

We see here that logically thinking, the helmet placed on their heads actually denoted sky and the blue feather denotes the colour of the sky. Remember they were told not to look up. That means what we are looking for is up which is the sky.

Thus, we can say here that the colour of the feather placed on his helmet is blue and it actually talks about the colour of their planet.

Which detail would be evidence to support the theme "Parents don't always know what's best for their children."
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

I'm not sure but I think it's the 2nd one

Explanation:

Since it says

“You’d think she’d be glad her daughter ain’t out there prancing around a May Pole getting the new clothes all dirty.”

It seems like the parent isn't so glad about their daughter not prancing around.

Hope this helps :)
