Answer: Popular Sovereignty
Explanation:
Prior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the slave status of a new territory would be decided by the Missouri Compromise which based the state's slave status on geographical location as it prohibited slavery in states to the North of the 36°30′ parallel (excluding Missouri).
In 1854 however, a bill that would later be known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act was introduced to Congress by Sen. Stephen A. Douglas who hoped to gain support from Southern politicians for a state to be established on land gained from the Louisiana purchase.
The bill called for the status of a state to be decided by Popular Sovereignty which essentially meant that the people of the state would decide whether or not they wanted to be a free state instead of Congress as had previously been the case.
With this act therefore, the new territories would decide their status by themselves.
The mood and atmosphere to the trial is really built up over many chapters. Before the trial every begins we see the bigotry of the town as well as the humanity in a small handful of characters. So, when the trail finally takes place the mood and atmosphere is tense with a touch of somber resignation. I say this because deep down the reader, like Atticus, knows that the trial will not go well. The jury is made up of a bunch of older white men who cannot see past their set ways. The court is full of people, “We knew there was a crowd, but we had not bargained for the multitudes in the first floor hallway”. The blacks and the whites are segregated and Scout and Jem get to sit in the black section. Lee sets the symbolism and the tone for the trial perfectly.
<span>The iron is a symbolic representation and a mirror of the struggles of the narrator as a mother. Tillie Olsen, the author of the book became a young mother during the 1940s. This led to her shifting her dreams of becoming a writer into taking care and raising her four children. <span>
</span>The story was focused on the struggles of working-class women who wanted to balance their family life as well as provide for their families. Ironing people’s clothes was one of those home-bound activities that women can do back then while at the same time help them raise their children.
The iron is also a symbolic representation of motherhood, and that it can be a tiring but also a fulfilling task that a mother can do. The story talks about humbling experiences (i.e. being a working class woman) that can still lead to values that are life-affirming. The setting of the story was during the period of nuclear war and economic recession and what women have to go through to raise their families and portray themselves as mothers in a struggling environment. <span>

Answer:
Quotation 1 contains a capitalization error.
Quotation 2 wrongly uses 'ellipses.'
Quotation 3 makes incorrect use of a comma.
Explanation:
The first quotation communicates a complete sentence and therefore, the first letter must be capitalized('The brave men') to make it grammatically correct.
In the second quotation, ellipses have been used incorrectly. It is a punctuation mark consisting of three periods('...') to indicate the omission of a word or phrase that can be inferred from the text. It communicates a complete idea but in this quotation, the idea is not completed after 'nation...' and therefore, the readers are not able to understand it.
The last quotation employs comma inappropriately succeeding the word 'finally' as the sentence is quite short and the use of comma unnecessarily breaks its meaning. There is no need for a comma here as the meaning is more clear and precise without using it.
