Read the following excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, by Fredrick Douglass and answer the question that fo

llows.
The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent of errands, I always took my book with me, and by doing one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.

Which of the following best summarizes the passages?
The white boys in his neighborhood taught him to read in exchange for pieces of bread.
It was against the rules to teach slaves to read in white Christian country.
Frederick Douglass was wealthy while the white boys were poor.
Frederick Douglass couldn’t go to school because he had too many errands to do.

In Passage 1, how does Queen Elizabeth I's use of parallelism reflect the purpose of her speech?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

1. It reflected the purpose of her speech as it provided clarity for her determination to protect her kingdom against European powers/invaders.

2. The main goal of the crusades by the Europeans was to install a Catholic ruler in England and this was resisted by Queen Elizabeth 1 who wanted England to be a Protestant or Anglican state.

Explanation:

Parallelism is the use of the same grammatical structure in a text. It provides contrast and balance in the text. It also helps to establish clarity in the intentions of the writer. Queen Elizabeth 1 made good use of parallelism by providing contrasts and comparing the things she could tolerate and the ones that could not be tolerated. Her speech is made up of contrasts used in the same lines to make her points stand out and to remove any doubts in the minds of her subjects.

For example, she said that she was there as a monarch 'not for her recreation or disport but for the heat of the battle, and if necessary to die for her subjects'. This would make her intentions stand out in the hearts of her subjects.

Why does the monster see himself as different from Adam?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: B. Adam was formed by a loving creator, whereas the monster was formed by a careless creator.

As the monster gains consciousness and knowledge, he comes to hate his fate more and more. He sees himself as cursed, and feels sorry about the fact that he was ever created. Moreover, he compares himself to Adam, the first man, because he is the first creature of his kind. However, this makes him even more miserable, as he thinks that Adam was created by a loving creator, while the creature was created by a careless creator.
