Answer:

Woodrow Wilson meant D) it is constantly adapting and changing.

Explanation:

Woodrow Wilson was a former president of the United States and a political scientist. In his <em>Constitutional Government in the United States, </em>Wilson argues that the constitution is seen as Newtonian, when it should be seen as Darwinian, in his opinion. What he means is that the constitution should be able to change, to adapt to a new environment and necessity. If it remains frozen in time, it is bound to limit the government in harmful ways. As a Progressive, Wilson wants the constitution to be seen as a living thing, a thing that needs to evolve to keep on being meaningful. The lines below are excerpts from his argument:

<em>The trouble with the theory is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. It falls, not under the theory of the universe, but under the theory of organic life. It is accountable to Darwin, not to Newton. It is modified by its environment, necessitated by its tasks, shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure of life.</em>

<em>All that progressives ask or desire is permission—in an era when "development," "evolution," is the scientific word—to interpret the Constitution according to the Darwinian principle; all they ask is recognition of the fact that a nation is a living thing and not a machine.</em>

Which states the rhetorical appeal that the passage
sesenic [268]

The correct answer is A. The passage appeals to logos.

Explanation:

The appeal to logos focuses on supporting the author's point of view by using reasoning. This occurs in the excerpt presented because the author of this text uses reasoning or logical arguments to explain how the Declaration of independence includes all men no matter their race, religion, etc. This can be seen in "It does not say some men, but it  says all men" that explain the author's main point, as well as,  logical reasons such as "does not say all Protestants, but it says all men, which  includes Catholics" because this argument is a conclusion that can be drawn using logic. This means the author relies on logic and reason, which makes this passage to use the appeal to logos.

100 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST: Please Answer I really need this
Evgesh-ka [11]

College Student Invents a Way to Clean the Oceans.

There is still a large amount of plastic trash polluting the Earth’s land and water . There are currently five giant trash gyres, or whirlpools collecting floating trash, in our oceans.

The reduction in plastic consumption is a critical component in cleaning up Our oceans, but the trash gyres need to be cleaned up too. Until Recent ,there were few ideas about what to do with the millions of tons of floating waste littering our oceans. But Boyan Slat, a 19 year old student from TU Delft , came up with an invention designed to clean up the trash gyres. Slat’s invention uses long booms that float on the water and use the ocean’s natural currents to direct trash into a processing platform. Slat reports that the Arrays could remove 7,250,000 tons of plastic waste from the oceans, and clean up an entire trash gyre in five years. His idea for the project arose from a school paper about how to remedy the trash gyres.

Although the Array is still in the design phase,Currently, they are looking for financial

support to begin feasibility studies on the idea and hire some researchers.

Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: third-person omniscient

Explanation: In the third person point of view, the narrator is someone outside the story, who frequently uses pronouns, like 'he,' 'she,' and 'they,' to describe the characters.

The third-person omniscient point of view is a method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story. The third-person is not the same as the  third-person limited, a point of voice that adheres closely to one character's perspective, usually the main character's.
