Answer:

The <em>effect</em> of the <em>figurative language</em> in this passage, apart from <em>enriching the passage</em>, is <em>illustrating more vividly the reason why those would escape</em> (the strong connection that exists between those who escape and their friends.)

Explanation:

In the given passage, the figurative language is represented by the <em>phrase</em>:

<em>the strong cords of affection that bind them</em>

This is a metaphor: the <em>strong cords</em> refer to those <em>love feelings</em> that act as <em>connection</em> between the people escaping and their friends. The <em>metaphor of cords and binding</em> talks about <em>how close these people are and how those strong ties (feelings of affection) would make them overcome fear or danger and try to escape.</em>

In your opinion, how do you feel about race relations? Please explain.
Mazyrski [523]
I'm really just neutral about race relations, there's some racism and that's just bad, we are all equal, and people shouldn't care if we are black skinned or white skinned. We should be united, if we are united we will be able to solve life big problems, and also problems with the Earth itself.

which became a part of English government and culture during the glorious revolution a. the magna Carta b. the Commonwealth c. a
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The Glorious Revolution is considered by some as one of the most important events in the long evolution of powers possessed by the Parliament and the Crown of England. With the passage of the Bill of Rights, any possibility for a Catholic monarchy and any movement towards absolute monarchy in the British Isles were erradicated by limiting the powers of the monarch. The powers of the King were strongly restricted; He could no longer suspend laws, create taxes, or maintain a standing army during peacetime without Parliament's permission. Since 1689, England, and later the United Kingdom, has been governed under a system of parliamentary monarchy, and it has been uninterrupted. Since then, Parliament has gained more and more power, and the Crown has progressively lost it.

A problem for the new nation after the war was that thousands of wealthy loyalists:
Savatey [412]

A major problem for the United States after the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was that tens of thousands of Loyalists, due to the climate of violence and fear that still existed after the conflict (particularly in the South), fled the country, retreating with the British army to Britain and other parts of the British Empire (Jamaica, Bahamas, India) and also to Canada, settling primarily in the regions of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Since those Loyalists were often wealthy and educated, and they had been part of the thriving and cohesive upper class that controlled much of the industry and the commerce in areas such as New York or Boston, the social structure of the colonies changed significantly after their departure.
