As one president’s term ends and another begins, there is a ceremony. Its importance is one of symbolism rather than substance. The Constitution is clear: On Jan. 20, there will be a transfer of power. There is no mention of an inauguration.

By definition, ritual acts have no direct effect on the world. A ceremonial event is one that symbolically affirms something that happens by other, more direct means. In this case, the election – not the inauguration – makes the president, although an oath is required before exercising his power.

Nonetheless, ceremonies matter. Having spent two decades studying ritual, I can attest to that. So can the recent history of inaugurations: In 2009, Barack Obama misplaced one word when reciting the presidential oath of office. As a result, he decided to retake the oath the next day. And in 2017, Donald Trump insisted that his inauguration was attended by a record-setting crowd, even as everyone’s eyes saw otherwise. He saw the size of the attendance as a measure of his legitimacy.

I am selling an antique dresser for my grandmother that is in perfect condition. -----------------------------------------------
FinnZ [79.3K]
D. That is in perfect condition is misplaced; this sentence could be misread as if someone thinks that your grandmother is in perfect condition rather than the antique dresser.

Go home because if you are made immortal, you will keep making the same mistakes for all of eternity. You will watch your family and friends pass on, and you cannot be or go with them. At least going home makes the time you have with them all the more precious.

Hope this helps!

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Some things only need one thing to live, food. While others like us humans need more than one thing to live. We can not fully live in the prospect of freedom until we have gained all of the necessaries of life.
