I believe you have a typo when it comes to the first option - it should be athletics, not athletic. The word athletic is an adjective, and the word athletics is a noun.
That being said, the correct answer is A. athletics. Even though this noun ends in -s, it is still singular. The rest of the options are all plural nouns.
The correct answers are the following:
- The reasons that Patrick Henry provides for mobilizing the Virginia militia are: (B) All previous attempts at diplomacy had proven fruitless and (D) The British were mobilizing troops and ships in preparation for a military operation. Patrick Henry's speech became very popular under the name of <em>"Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death".</em>
- Thomas Jefferson uses (D) technical language to support his argument. The Declaration of Independence is one of his most persuasive documents.
- Jefferson believes it is the (B) duty and (D) right of people to overthrow their government when their natural rights have been denied them. Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States.
- The spirit in which Stanton appropriates large portions of Jefferson's Declaration of Independence for her Declaration of Sentiments can be described as (C) respectful and (D) reverential. This declaration is also known as <em>"The Declaration of Rights and Sentiments".</em> It outlines the rights that every American woman should have.
- Jefferson's<em> "Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom"</em> (A) guaranteed freedom of religion to people of all faiths and (B) disestablished Anglicanism as the official religion of Virginia. This statement was passed by the Virginia General Assembly in 1786.
- Crevecoeur see the character trait of (C) industriousness as forming the foundation of American equality and success. Michel Guillaume Jean de Crevecoeur was a French-American writer who published <em>"Letters from an American Writer"</em> in 1782.
- The phrase <em>"civilly dead"</em> is an example of (A) figurative language. Figurative language has to do with the use of comparisons as a literary device.
the answer would be raised.
Have a good day!
Answer:
a. arbitrary
