<span>Q1. The answer is c. lessen. To diminish something means to make something smaller. To lessen something is to make it less. In either case, it means to decrease something. Thus, in this sentence "One would think his anxiety would diminish, not increase, once his name was called." 'lessen' can substitute 'diminish'. Q2. The answer is a. character vs. self. In the paragraph, character vs. self-conflict is obvious. Sentences "...he was filled with fear. He did not know what his selection meant. He did not know what he was to become. Or what would become of him." show his unawareness of what will become of him which worries him. This implies self-conflict. Q3. The answer is a. the ability to see and experience things others cannot. In The Giver, the capacity to see beyond is the ability to use not those senses present in the community, but those senses present in the memories. For instance, Jonas has ability to see colours.</span>

Document B: Letter from President Kennedy to Chairman Khrushchev 4. In this letter Kennedy restates Khrushchev’s proposals. Does
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The letter was calm and restrained.

Explanation:

Tension between the United States and Russia, formerly known as the Union of Soviet Socialists States were on the rise. From the rocket race, to the missiles race, the tensions between the two countries kept escalating. In the wake of the events, one of the potentially dangerous events was the Cuban missile crisis. Russia thought to build a missile base in Cuba. This would present a great danger to the US. In the letter, Kennedy is tentative in his approach. He exercises restraint. In fact, in one of the lines he says, "...I recognize Mr. Chairman, that it was not I who issued the first challenge in this case..." The president distances himself from the provocations that had been sent his his predecessors.
