50 points to wo answers Read this excerpt from Patrick Henry’s speech “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.” What is the main idea

of the text? We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!
A. The Continental Congress should appoint Henry president of the colonies.

Answer:

1.  Council members <u>deplored</u> the outbreak of violence in areas close to schools.

2. Several of the old buildings still retained the <u>ornate</u> ceilings and banisters that were typical of the eighteenth century.

3. During economic hardships, most people find <em><u>prodigal</u></em> spenders offensive.

Explanation:

The corresponding and appropriate vocabulary for the bolded words in the given sentences are changed as follows-

1. In replacing "grumbled about" with "deplored", they imply the same attitude but with much more strong opposition. While mere grumbling may suggest complaints and disinterest, 'deplored' gives a sense of strongly disapproving of the plan.

2. The word "stylish" can be replaced by "ornate" as they both imply the same decorative sense of the ceiling. But at the same time, "ornate" gives the sense of a more beautiful, better-decorated piece than the simple word "stylish".

3. The word "big" in describing the spenders is plain and can just describe any shopper who spends a lot. But the use of "prodigal" in describing the spenders gives the sense of unnecessary spending. This word gives more voice to the disapproving tone about such spenders.
