Use this excerpt from the U.S. Declaration of Independence to answer the following question: "We hold these truths to be self-ev

ident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." --Public Domain In what way does this excerpt illustrate that the American break with Britain in 1776 was justified by using ideas rooted in the Enlightenment? It rejected the authority of the Church as legitimate. It rejected the authority of the monarch as legitimate. It advocated the centrality of economics to politics. It advocated the separation of religion and politics.

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the B) It rejected the authority of the monarch as legitimate.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that the authors of this text were clearly inspired by the ideas of the Enlightenment, such as its criticism of the corruption of the monarchy. Rousseau, for instance, pointed out that kings had been granted power by the will of the people, not by God, and, by the same token, that people could also take their power away from them if they were not doing their job right. In this excerpt, it is said that if a government, which derives its power from the "consent of the governed," that is, from the will of the people, destructs the rights that it is meant to protect (life, liberty, and happines), then that people have the right to alter it, abolish it, or institute a new one.

<span>If you look at the title of the novel, it already gives you a hint that it's about a person who had to chance places, move from one place to another and presumably misses their home. The mixture of languages - the old and the new one -show the loneliness, as she probably can't communicate to anyone, since her sentences are unintelligible to other people - so the correct answer would be D. </span>

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Doğru cevabı seç. Bu alıntıyı, II. Dünya Savaşı sırasında İngiltere Başbakanı Winston Churchill'in 29 Ekim 1941'de Harrow Okulu'nda yaptığı "Asla Pes Etme" konuşmasından okuyun. Bu konuşmanın amacı nedir? İşlerin nasıl gideceğini görünüşten anlayamazsınız. Bazen hayal gücü işleri olduğundan çok daha kötü hale getirir; yine de hayal gücü olmadan pek bir şey yapılamaz. Hayal gücü yüksek insanlar, belki de var olandan çok daha fazla tehlike görürler; kesinlikle olacağından çok daha fazlası; ama sonra bu geniş kapsamlı hayal gücünü taşıyacak ekstra cesaretin verilmesi için de dua etmelidirler. Ama herkes için, kuşkusuz, bu süreçte yaşadıklarımız - Kendime Okul'a sesleniyorum - kuşkusuz bu on aylık dönemden ders şudur: asla pes etme, asla pes etme, asla, asla, asla, asla. - büyük ya da küçük, büyük ya da küçük hiçbir şeyde - şeref ve sağduyu inançları dışında asla pes etmeyin. Asla güce boyun eğmeyin; düşmanın görünüşte ezici gücüne asla boyun eğmeyin. Bir yıl önce baş başaydık ve birçok ülkeye hesabımız kapanmış, işimiz bitmiş gibi geldi. Bütün bu geleneklerimiz, şarkılarımız, okul tarihimiz, bu ülkenin tarihinin bu kısmı gitti, bitti ve tasfiye edildi. Bugünkü ruh hali çok farklı. Diğer uluslar, Britanya'nın onun arduvazına bir sünger çektiğini düşündü. Ama bunun yerine ülkemiz boşlukta durdu. Hiçbir çekinme ve teslim olma düşüncesi yoktu; ve bu Adaların dışındakilere neredeyse bir mucize gibi görünen bir şeyle, kendimiz bundan asla şüphe etmemiş olsak da, şimdi kendimizi, fethetmek için sadece sebat etmemiz gerektiğinden emin olabileceğimizi söylediğim bir durumda buluyoruz. A. Öğrencileri İngiltere'nin kazanılan zaferi hakkında bilgilendirmek B. Öğrencileri savaş çabalarını desteklemeye ikna etmek C. Öğrencilere asla vazgeçmemeleri veya yenilgiyi kabul etmemeleri için ilham vermek D. Savaş sırasında hayatını kaybeden sivilleri anmak için E. diğer ulusları Britanya'ya olan inançsızlıklarından dolayı eleştirmek
