xcerpts? Cite evidence from the text to support your response.
Declaration of Independence

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. . . We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved;

The Preamble to the US Constitution

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Both excerpts indicate a general cause-and-effect relationship in their structure. In the Declaration of Independence, the cause is the oppression of the American colonies and the effect is the colonies’ desire to dissolve political connections with British rule. In the preamble, the cause is the desire to form a more perfect Union, etc., and the effect is the actual formation of the new federal government under the Constitution. The tone differs in both excerpts. With statements such as “appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,” the Declaration of Independence uses emotional appeals to create a persuasive and direct tone. The preamble to the Constitution, on the other hand, uses a long series of claims to support a logical argument.

What is a car rally​
maks197457 [2]

<u>Car rally​:</u>

In a street rally, contenders contend over a foreordained course with time as the opponent. Vehicles start at (normally) one-minute interims. There is no immediate no holds barred dashing, and nowadays the accentuation is particularly on route and cooperation instead of absolute speed.

They run with time as the opponent, each vehicle in turn, on earth, asphalt, and anything in the middle. They run in all climate, in for all intents and purposes each nation on the planet. The game is a brilliant, beautiful thing, all commotion, and brutality and sliding sideways between trees at 100 mph.

The easiest answer is that Rally is each vehicle in turn on an open street shut down for hustling, and Rallycross is numerous autos running together on a shut course explicitly intended for dashing.

PLEASE HELP ASAP TIME LIMITWhich sentence is correctly punctuated?
sattari [20]

Answer:

The sentence that is correctly punctuated is the following one: "Let's get going," Ginnie shouted, "it's getting dark!"

Explanation:

The sentence above is a direct quotation. Quotation marks are for when you want to include someone else's words in your own writing. What is more, direct quotations contain a quote in which you report the exact words used.

In this case, the quote has been split. When you split a quote to introduce a parenthetical, you shouldn't  capitalize the second part of the quote example: (it's getting dark!"). Also, the exclamation mark goes inside the quote because it applies to the quoted material, not to the whole sentence. For these reasons, the sentence chosen is the one that is  correctly punctuated.
