What is the main message of Douglass's speech? The fight for independence was a long, hard battle. The fact of slavery ruins the

celebrations of the Fourth of July. The people who came to America were surprised by its history. The story of most nations is difficult to catalogue.

I feel like he's saying, when slaves came to America, they weren't welcome to all the holidays, they were whipped instead of celebrated (on this day particularly), and then the day finally comes when they get to celebrate the Fourth of July but they can't really celebrate it because too much bad stuff happened that day. He's been saying why should anyone celebrate it when they know slavery was going on at that time. Now Douglass was an African American and this is his perspective. If you ask a Caucasian what they did that day, they will have a different story. That's what Douglass means when he says, "The story of most nations is difficult to catalogue."  I hope this helps! :)

Which verb form correctly completes the sentence? Is the verb singular or plural?
sladkih [1.3K]
The batteries in our cell phones need to charge.  
The verb is singular since the noun used ‘batteries’ is plural.  
<span>Verbs are simply known as the ‘action’ words – may it be mental, physical or mechanical. When verbs are paired with auxiliaries (helping verbs), they are known as verb phrase. These helping verbs always go first before the actual verb. <span>Perfect tenses serves a portraying the verb or the action word as something that already happened or is completed, thus the term ‘perfect’. If it is present perfect tense, it means that the action was already done relatively to the present (has/have with past participle). If it is past perfect tense, action is already finished relatively to the past (had with past participle and if it is future perfect tense, action is complete relatively to the future (will have with past participle</span></span>

Read this passage from Walden by Henry David Thoreau.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

D. Thoreau regrets conforming to the expectations of others.

Explanation:

The figure of speech he is using is irony - he says that he <em>behaved so well </em>even though he considers that behavior to be bad. His neighbors, or rather the people around him, behave a certain way that Thoreau doesn't really approve of. However, in order to conform, or fit in with the rest of the society, he behaved in the same way they did, which made him disgusted and want to repent after having betrayed his ideals.
