Eleanor Roosevelt believed that we have success in life when we see the beauty around us. She wanted to leave behind a world where people were less selfish. Instead of increasing their own wealth, people should give to and care more for their fellow humans.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars."
By sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence," says José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa, an expert in Honduras with World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian aid group. This abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. It would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since October, many of them legitimate refugees.
The underlined words and phrases have strong negative connotations. How do they support the author's purpose? [...]
Answer:
They support the author's purpose because:
A. They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.
Explanation:
<u>Even though the excerpt is missing the underlined words and phrases, there is only one option that has any true connection with what is being said. The excerpt is about how the U.S. has been failing to help children who arrive in the country as refugees. Instead of welcoming them with care and safety, they are often sent away, back to their countries. It is clear that the U.S. is not doing enough for those children. Therefore, the correct option is letter A.</u>
Options B through D can be easily eliminated. This excerpt does not concern other countries' roles in this crisis, international conventions, or the way in which the U.S. will be regarded by other nations.
D. A place is concise red a desert if it gets less than 10 inches of rain per year
The words from stanza VI, "And that imperial palace whence he came" have the following effect on the tone of the poem:
A) The palace represents a child's idyllic perspective on life, setting a melancholy tone.
William Wordsworth describes how miserable we grow to be as we get older. The palace he talks about is how a child sees life: pure, joyful, always exciting. However, life itself takes that palace away from us as we experience life in its naked entirety, with all the setbacks, sorrow, pain and misery. The author believes we all come from God, and that we are born with the wonders of Heaven floating above us. Losing such eagerness to live and smile is a melancholic perspective. That is why Christ says in the New Testament that in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, one must be like a child.
