Answer:

The Jews in Sighet refused to believe that Hitler can or will exterminate the Jewish race for they find it impossible for a whole race to be completely wiped off from the face of the earth. Also, they remained optimistic despite getting news about German's occupation of Jewish places for they thought that they are still far off from those places and that there will be some diplomatic solutions even if they are to come to Sighet.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night" recounts the horror that he, along with the other Jews, suffered during the German Nazi's regime, torturing the Jewish people. The Holocaust that was Hitler's attempts to fully annihilate the Jewish people was the main focus of the memoir.

The Jews of Sighet were at first adamant that none of the news about the torturing of Jews was alarming for it won't happen to them. He wrote

<em>"The Germans were already in our town, the Fascists were already in power, the verdict was already out—and the Jews of  Sighet were still smiling."</em>

They believed that either they are too far off from the main war front that German troops won't be able to reach. Or that Germany won't advance, believing that <em>"they will stay in Budapest.  For strategic reasons, for political reasons.."</em>

This was the belief of the Jews in Sighet. They also believed that a complete annihilation of the entire Jewish race is impossible, for they are not a small race. They realized that this was far from the truth when they found themselves surrounded by German troops within a short span of days.

How and where can power be used to help or hurt
jekas [21]
Hey there! I've been reading too much of "Tower of God" recently (it's a great webtoon!), so I'll take some examples from there. Don't worry! This isn't intended as an advertisement, haha.

The main character, Baam, acquires great power by season 2. He uses his immense abilities to protect his friends, instead of using it to purposely hurt anyone with the intent of making them suffer. Of course, this is in a comic, so it isn't really realistic. In real life, power (which is usually wealth or a powerful position) can be used to help others by donating to those in need. Charity and nonprofits all need those donations! They can be used to help make the world better for many.

On the other hand, there are people who use power for bad things. For example, a powerful business tyrant may use his influence and money to get rid of rivaling competitors. This is very dirty, but his power made hurting his rivals possible. Hurting them could mean anything from sabotaging their next big breakthrough project to something as overboard as killing them. 

Hope this helps! Have a great day :)

Select the words of the complete subordinate clause in the sentence below. Then identify it as either an adjective or an adverb
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Subordinate clause: "that they could outsmart the law"

Clause type: Adjective clause

Explanation:

A subordinate or dependent clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb that does not express a complete thought on its own, and therefore it cannot stand by itself: it needs to depend on another clause to have meaning. In a sentence, this type of clause may function as an adjective, an adverb or as a noun.

As an adjective clause, it describes, modifies or adds further information to another noun; and always begins whether with a relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, that, or which) or a relative adverb (when, where, or why).

In the sentence, "that they could outsmart the law" is a subordinate clause because it has a subject (they) and a verb (outsmart) and it can not express a complete thought. Furthermore, it is also an adjective clause because it begins with the relative pronoun "that" and it describes the noun "belief". What belief did they have? "that they could outsmart the law."
