7 0

Answer and Explanation:

Henry's speech at the Virginia Convention is titled "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" where he expresses all the anger he feels towards England's domination of American territory. In this speech, he presents a persuasive tone, where he encourages the listeners to agree with his arguments and also to revolt against the English dominance. To achieve this he uses the rhetorical device called "pathos" which is the device that evokes the sentimentality of people and uses the emotions of the public to persuade them. In Henry's speech, this rhetorical feature can be observed in several sentences, especially in sentences such as:

  • " What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? 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."
  • "Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?"
  • "Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone."

Collective farmers must drive off all their cattle and turn
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

C. It is worth the loss of property to ensure that Germany finds  nothing useful to it.

Explanation:

The given passage is taken from the "scorched earth" policy established by Joseph Stalin after the German troops invaded the USSR in 1941. The radio broadcast gave an order to the people on how to act when evading or leaving their homes.

In this broadcast, Stalin orders the destruction of <em>"All valuable property including non-ferrous metals, grain, and fuel which cannot be withdrawn"</em> so that it will not fall on the hands of the Germans. He also advised the farmers to<em> "drive off their cattle and turn over their grain to the safekeeping of the State authorities"</em>, so that if and when the Germans reach that place, they will not be used by them. The order seems to state that losing a property is better than providing any useful thing for the Germans.  

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Article source of the US-News
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

U.S. News - The New York Times

Explanation:

(From newspapers and magazines)

There are numerous situations when reading articles from popular sources might serve to introduce you to a topic and how that topic is addressed in society. In most cases, articles from popular sources:

  • are published for a general audience by journalists or professional authors
  • written in a language that the broader public can understand
  • They rarely contain a bibliography; instead, they are fact-checked throughout the editorial process of the magazine in which they appear.
  • They do not presuppose prior knowledge of a subject area; as a result, they are frequently quite useful to read if you don't know a lot about your subject area yet.
  • may include an argument, viewpoint, or analysis of a problem
