Answer:

B) The poet in "Old Ironsides" asks for the ship to be destroyed, while the poet in "Concord Hymn" asks that the monument stone be preserved.

Explanation:

Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendel Holmes Sr, asks for the old ship to be destroyed or sink. We can see that the poet asks for the destruction of the ship when he says

<em>"...No more shall feel the victor's tread,</em>

<em>Or know the conquered knee;-</em>

<em>The harpies of the shore shall pluck</em>

<em>The eagle of the sea!</em>

<em> </em>

<em>O, better than her shattered hulk</em>

<em>Should sink beneath the wave;..."</em>

We can see that the old navy had its glory days, but now it is old, and it is not of use, as it was.

On the other hand, Ralph Waldo Emerson in "Concord Hymn" asks for the monument to be preserved since it is commemorating a special event. The stone monument is there to honor and remember the heroes of a battle that happened there.

We can see that the poet asks for the monument stone to be preserved when he says,

<em>"On this green bank, by this soft stream,</em>

<em>We set today a votive stone;</em>

<em>That memory may their deed redeem,</em>

<em>When, like our sires, our sons are gone.</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Bid Time and Nature gently spare</em>

<em>The shaft we raise to them and thee." </em>

What happened in tom robinson’s case ?
krek1111 [17]

Explanation:

<em>Tom Robinson is accused of harming and r*ping a young white woman named Mayella Ewell. Atticus Finsh, a laywer, is appointed Tom's case. This part of the trial is told and watched through Scout Finch who is Atticus's daughter. Scout enters the coutroom and sees Sheriff Tate on the stand, repeating the events of the alleged crime and what he would be charged with. With this, Tate says that Mayella was hit on the right side of her face. Atticus then asks Ewell to write his name on a piece of paper, which we come to find that Ewell is left-handed thus making him a suspect. </em>

<em>Then, Mayella takes the stand and immediately she begins to weep, scared of what Atticus will do to break her. Onxe she is calm, she tells her side of the story. Mayella explains that she asked Tom to bust up a chiffarobe. When Mayella went inside to pay Tom, Tom had followed her into the house and beat and r**ed her.</em>

<em>Everyone agrees that Mayella was hit on the right side of her face, so everyone believes that the suspenct was left-handed. In this moment, Atticus asks Tom to stand up, which then shows the court, Tom's left arm which is deformed. </em>

<em>Soon, Atticus calls his only witness he needs.. Tom Robinson. Tom tells the true story. He was invited into the Ewell house to fix a loose door, but then he was attacked inside by Mayella. Mayella kissed and hugged Tom. She had never kissed any man so she though she might as well kiss a n****r Tom admits to beating up a chiffarobe, but not during this time. He also admits to running away when Bob Ewell showed up, but he didn't harm Mayella in any way. All he heard was Bob threatening Mayella. </em>

Answer:

Explanation:

so technical terminology is often thought of as a shorthand, a way of gaining great depth and accuracy of meaning with economy of words. so when you go back in the passage saving energy means saving money could be one. so all you really have to do is look for anything that talks about saving money and or energy.
