1. Read the following paragraph from "Resistance to Civil Government" by Henry David Thoreau: This American government, —what is

it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves. But it is not the less necessary for this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have. Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed upon, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. It is excellent, we must all allow. Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way. For government is an expedient, by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, as has been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it. Analyze the rhetorical style of this paragraph. How does the style contribute to the essay's power? In particular, consider its parallelism and figurative language in formulating your response. Be sure to include specific details from the text to support your answer. (10 points)

Answer:

1. action

2. failure

3. permission

4. loss

5. thought/thinking

Explanation:

Nominalization or nouning is the transformation of verbs into nouns. Most times, such a transformation will require some alteration or other to be made, mostly through the use of suffixes, which changes the ending of the original word. However, there are nominalizations that require no change at all, the difference between verb and noun being revealed through context.

Some common suffixes for nominalization are -ation, -ance, and -ment.

Having that in mind, let's change the verbs given in the question into nouns:

1. to act - action

2. to fail - failure

3. to permit - permission

4. to lose - loss

5. to think - thought/thinking

In 200 words, explain the obligations that Wiesel suggests the Holocaust gives to humanity.
aleksklad [387]
One of Wiesel's concerns in Night is the way that exposure to inhuman cruelty can deprive even victims of their sense of morality and humanity. The first hint of this dehumanized behavior on the part of the Jewish prisoners comes when some of the deportees, in the contraints of the cattle car, lose their modesty and sense of sexual, inhibition. Wiesel suggests that one of the great psychological and moral tragedies of the Holocaust is not just the death of faith in God but also the death in faith in humankind.<span>

rjkz [21]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her.

In one to two sentences, identify the bold words as an independent clause, dependent clause, or phrase, and explain their functions within the sentence.

Answer: dependent clause

Explanation:

A phrase refers to a combination of words that don´t have a subject-verb component and are used as a single part of speech.

An independent clause is a simple sentence that can stand alone, as it has a subject and a verb. It can also be accompanied by other clauses or phrases in a complex sentence.

In this example, "Jessica ate the cookies" is an independent clause that is followed by an independent clause to form the complete complex sentence. A dependent clause requires an independent clause to complete a sentence because it cannot stand on its own. Such is the case of the bold words in this example.
