Answer:

1. The speaker is in a contemplative mood.

2. The word 'turn' in this context means being born into the fold of animals instead of humans. It is a sort of reincarnation.

3.  The speaker wishes to live with animals because they are calm, not easily upset, and contented.

4. Alliteration was employed in the words- long and long.

Explanation:

1. The poet Walt Whitman was likely contemplating or thinking to himself of all the attributes of animals which made them pleasing to him.

2. As a human, if he was to turn and live with animals, that would mean no longer being born as a human but rather being born into the fold of animals.

3. The speaker wishes to live with the animals because they are 'placid and self contain'd' which means that they are calm and not easily upset. They are also contented and do not drag each other for worldly possessions.

Answer:

Argumentative writing → An essay argues that light on the field would add to the quality of life in the community.

Claim → The soccer field would get more use because the lights would allow night games.

Counterclaim → Some people think it is not worth the expense

Evidence → According to a poll, more than one third of the citizens approve the cost of adding lights to the soccer field

Reasoning → Our town should place lights near the soccer fields so teams can play at night.

Explanation:

I have been able to place each sentence to the correct term.

An essay that argues on a subject is usually classified to be argumentative writing. The statement claimed that "<em>The soccer field would get more use because the lights would allow night games</em>". This is actually a claim. But an opposition to the claim is known as counterclaim. So, when "<em>Some people think it is not worth the expense</em>", then it is counterclaim.

Then an evidence was given which we see from the poll that was carried out. Evidence usually comes with facts and data which is what the poll provided.

The speaker actually reasoned or thought that their "<em>...town should place lights near the soccer fields so teams can play at night</em>". This is reasoning.

What did the election of 1856 show? There was a political divide between the North and the South. A third-party candidate could
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties.

Explanation:

The election of 1856 in which James Buchanan won as a Democratic presidential candidate, against the Know-Nothings party and the Republican party, shows that "Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties."

This is evident in the fact that the Democratic party was perceived by the public as a party in support of slavery.

Hence, some Democrats and Whigs party members fall out to form new parties, the Know-Nothing Party, and the Republican party.

The Know-Nothings party has the ideal of anti-immigration, while the Republicans have the anti-slavery ideals.
