Which sentence in this excerpt from Patrick Henry's famous "liberty or death" speech at the Second Virginia Convention in 1775 e

mphasizes the American colonists’ efforts to avoid war? Speech to the Second Virginia Convention by Patrick Henry (excerpt) Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

Answer: We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament.

This sentence is the one that better demonstrates how the colonists have tried to avoid war. Patrick Henry argues that the colonists tried to approach the matter in other ways first. However, all of their efforts, petitions and requests had been ignored, and things had continued in the same way as before. Therefore, he believes that there is no hope of reconciliation left, and that they must fight in order to protect their liberty.

Answer:

C. The man in the blue pin-striped suit and checked tie looked somewhat out of place at the party.

Explanation:

In English language, a simple sentence can be defined as a sentence that comprises of a single independent clause, a predicate or verb and a subject. Also, the subject in a simple sentence is joined together by a conjunction such as "and" to reflect the action that is being performed or done by the verb in the sentence.

<em>An example of a simple sentence is;</em>

  • The man in the blue pin-striped suit and checked tie looked somewhat out of place at the party.

<em>Additionally, all the other examples given are not a complete sentence or is a complex sentence. </em>

Review the theme.

Answer:

Father makes the boys replace the Duvitch family's fish.

Explanation:

In the short story "The Strangers That Came to Town" by Ambrose Flack, the plot of the story revolves around the Duvitch family who were deemed strange and weird by the residents of Syringa Street. But one incident led to the change in everyone's perspective, making the family a new 'attraction' for the whole neighborhood.

The stereotypical treatment of the Duvitch family led everyone to not talk to or approach them, and they were kept all alone in their own world. So, when the fishing trip that the boys and their father took led to an unfortunate incident, Father made the boys fish until they had re-compensated whatever loss they had made Mr. Duvitch suffer. Father's act of making the boys replace the dead/ murdered fishes best supports the theme of stereotypical behavior.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
