Answer:
The sentence that begins the introduction of this article excerpt is In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities
Explanation:
The introduction of any kind of written work has to be made with a topic sentence, this kind of sentence is always the first or second sentence in a paragraph, each paragraph has a topic sentence of the first paragraph the one that introduces the main idea of the complete work, in this case for the full excerpt that would be "In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities"
I would write them all out but im lazy. change the noun after the word by and make that the subject of the sentence followed by the verb and the rest of the sentence :)
This question is missing the excerpts. I was able to find the complete question online. The excerpts are the following:
Mr. Luther King Jr.: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness."
Governor George Wallace's inaugural speech: "We invite the negro citizens of Alabama to work with us from his separate racial station . . . as we will work with him . . . to develop, to grow in individual freedom and enrichment."
Answer:
The excerpts conflict because:
B. the first suggests that all are born with equal rights, while the second suggests that certain citizens need to be separated in order to become equal.
Explanation:
While Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states that all men, independently of race, are born equal, Governor George Wallace states the opposite. According to him, black people can work with white people, only separately. He claims that there is equality and freedom in segregation, which we all know to be impossible. As we can see, the two excerpts present conflicting ideas. The first defies segregation while the second tries to justify it and maintain it. Having that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option.
C) the popular cultural trends of the time when the work was written.
