Which sentence in this excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt's "Citizenship in a Republic" speech conveys his central opinion about cy

nical people?                                          A: With you here, and with us in my own home, in the long run, success or failure will be conditioned upon the way in which the average man, the average women, does his or her duty, first in the ordinary, every-day affairs of life, and next in those great occasional cries which call for heroic virtues. B: The stream will not permanently rise higher than the main source; and the main source of national power and national greatness is found in the average citizenship of the nation.
C: Let the man of learning, the man of lettered leisure, beware of that queer and cheap temptation to pose to himself and to others as a cynic, as the man who has outgrown emotions and beliefs, the man to whom good and evil are as one. D:There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. E: The role is easy; there is none easier, save only the role of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.

D:There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement.


Even though option “C” mentions the word “cynic,” what is communicated in that excerpt is a warning to people not to become cynical. In response “D,” what is being communicated is the true sentiment toward cynical people. For instance, it is communicated that there is no one less worthy of respect than a cynic.

Only the industrious prosper in life - change this sentence into negative
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

There are two ways which we can use to change the sentence from affirmative to negative:

1. Not only the industrious prosper in life.

2. Only the industrious do not prosper in life.

Explanation:

1. If we choose to make the negative this way, the meaning we will convey is that industrious people prosper, but they are not the only ones. Other people can prosper too.

2. On the other hand, if we negate this way, we will completely deny the original affirmation. We will be saying that everyone else prospers in life excerpt for industrious people.

Both ways are grammatically correct, even though they convey different meanings.

America the Not-So-Beautiful
Temka [501]

Answer:

A The author uses loaded language when he says, “Some of the things we're throwing away are poisoning the Earth and will eventually poison all of us and all living things,”

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from America the Not-So-Beautiful by Andrew A. Rooney, the author talks about the dangers of improperly disposing waste. He tries to convince Americans that they should dispose of their waste properly.

The author uses loaded language to convey his point of view about throwing things away by saying that Americans are "wasteful and we don't want to fix anything, so if something is broken we will just buy a new one". He also says that some of the things "we're throwing away are poisoning the Earth and will eventually poison all of us and all living things".

Loaded language is a type of rhetoric that is used to have an impact on an audience by triggering an emotional response by using strong words or phrases.
