Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves

as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, law–makers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence. To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world. Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery.

How does the following lines contrast the point of view Of the batter and pitcher on the deciding pitch?
Sergio039 [100]

They show that the batter doesn't overthink the situation, but the pitcher is being picky.

In the Batter's line he says that he just reacts in the moment. This shows that he does not spend a lot of time thinking about the situation. It also shows that he may not be smarter about the situation. It doesn't show the batter is not prepared or that he knows how important it is. The pitcher doesn't think the call to throw a slider is a good choice so he shakes it off. His exclamation that none of the pitches will work shows his frustration over the choices. He is being picky and can't seem to agree on the type of pitch to throw.

“Oedipus Rex”: What does the following passage reveal mainly about Oedipus?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option d) His wounded pride and offense have made him behave angrily.

Explanation:

In this passage Oedipus is clearly angry as we see the word "wroth" that means intensely angry, also he is emitting a judgment even if he doesn't have proofs and we confirm this with the word "stint" that means an inadequate amount of something. With these two ideas in mind it's not the option a as he is making a judgment, is not the option b as he is blaming others and finally is not the option c because he is very angry at that matter, he can't control his emotions so he is not selfless at all. He is proud and quick to anger so any kind of offense will make him behave angrily.
