Answer:

They suggest extreme hunger.

Explanation:

"Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" is a memoir by a former slave Frederick Douglass. In it, he recounts how he had slaved in plantations before he eventually got education and his freedom.

Douglass used the words "mangled" and "emaciated" in chapter VI while talking about Mary, the Hamiltons' slave. Douglass was talking of how different slaves were treated in cities and plantations. But, there are also instances like the Hamiltons who treats their slaves with utmost prejudice and violence. The slaves Henrietta and Mary were starved and made to do extreme work, along with constant whippings. Douglass uses the words "mangled" and "emaciated" to emphasize on the extreme hunger that Mary and Henrietta had to endure in the Hamiltons' home.

Emaciated means highly underweight. Your best answer would be, “They suggest extreme hunger.” :^)

Seven-month-old mazie is crawling toward the end of the bed. how likely is it that she will continue on and fall off?

wlad13 [49]

I believe the answer is: Unlikely, because depth perception develops by about 6 months of age in infants 

By the time infants are crawling, they are able to perceive the environment around them and would tend to understand that the end of the bed is dangerous for them (since they could no longer see the environment beyond the end of the bed)

(HELP PLEASE) for religion class Should anything be done to legislate against cult activity?

HACTEHA [7]

Depends on what is being defined as “cult activity”. If laws are being broken then of course the government needs to step in. If people are being hurt, weather they are apart of the cult or not, something needs to be done. BUT you cannot infringe on the rights of individuals to practice their chosen religion or lifestyle. If “cult activity” is using drugs and abusing members then it needs to be stopped, but if it’s praying to a giant invisible spaghetti monster and living together on a farm there’s not anything that could (or should) be done.
