In the Declaration of Independence, President Thomas Jefferson makes uses of <em>parallelism</em>, as he tries to make a correspondence between the fact that "All men are created equal" with the "unalienable rights" which are endowed by their Creator, such as Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

We started the unit by reading an excerpt from Samuel Pepys’ diary about the great fire of London. Identify one characteristic o
kkurt [141]
One characteristic of Enlightenment that is seen in this excerpt is that people should be guided by the reason and not irrational fears, however serious they may seem to be. The protagonist/author of the diary seems to be the only cool-headed person in this terrible situation. Everybody else is freaking out, running about and screaming. He notices multiple times that nobody is making any effort to actually quench the fire. He is the one who goes to warn the king and suggests that houses should be pulled down. There is one very interesting remark about Lord Mayor, who is in a panic just like everyone else: "To the King's message he cried, like a fainting woman..." Misogyny aside, this comment shows the speaker's manly, reasonable, commendable attitude. He is an active person who does something to undo the damage, and not just a passive observer or a coward who runs away in panic.

A diary entry was a fitting form during the Enlightenment period because that was the first time that the words and opinions of a more or less ordinary person were deemed important. A diary has this risk of being a subjective collection of personal impressions. But Pepys' diary pretends to be highly objective because its author sees himself as a reasonable man, important in his own right, competent enough to keep a diary and record some important things that happen around him, to other ordinary people.

Read the sentence below and use context clues to determine the meaning of the word enthralled:
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Watching an exciting movie.

Explanation:

The word "enthralled" means being "interested", caught the attention, or focused, captivated, or fascinated by something. It means getting the attention or paying attention to what was shown or being done.

So, in the given sentence, the speaker remarks how he was captivated by the Shakespeare play even though he thought it'd be boring. That means that the play was interesting. So, the <u>person most likely to be "enthralled" is someone who is watching an exciting movie</u>.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.
