Answer:
“Birth of a Nation”—D. W. Griffith’s disgustingly racist yet titanically original 1915 feature—back to the fore. The movie, set mainly in a South Carolina town before and after the Civil War, depicts slavery in a halcyon light, presents blacks as good for little but subservient labor, and shows them, during Reconstruction, to have been goaded by the Radical Republicans into asserting an abusive dominion over Southern whites. It depicts freedmen as interested, above all, in intermarriage, indulging in legally sanctioned excess and vengeful violence mainly to coerce white women into sexual relations. It shows Southern whites forming the Ku Klux Klan to defend themselves against such abominations and to spur the “Aryan” cause overall. The movie asserts that the white-sheet-clad death squad served justice summarily and that, by denying blacks the right to vote and keeping them generally apart and subordinate, it restored order and civilization to the South.
“Birth of a Nation,” which runs more than three hours, was sold as a sensation and became one; it was shown at gala screenings, with expensive tickets. It was also the subject of protest by civil-rights organizations and critiques by clergymen and editorialists, and for good reason: “Birth of a Nation” proved horrifically effective at sparking violence against blacks in many cities. Given these circumstances, it’s hard to understand why Griffith’s film merits anything but a place in the dustbin of history, as an abomination worthy solely of autopsy in the study of social and aesthetic pathology.
Explanation:
X(x-2) = 15 where x = the unknown number
If you test all the answers in that equation, both x values in answer A yield 15, so the answer is A
Answer:
adjective: sharp; adverb: fast
Explanation:
"sharp" describes "curve", which is a noun, and therefore, this is an adjective.
"fast" describes "skated" (I think), which is a verb, and therefore, this is an adverb.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
B. CH₅N
Explanation:
The combustion reaction of a compound CₐHₓNₙ with O₂ is:
CₐHₓNₙ + O₂ → a CO₂ + X/2 H₂O + n NO₂
Where 1 mole of CₐHₓNₙ with an excess of O₂ produce a moles of CO₂, X/2 moles of H₂O and n moles of NO₂
Thus, you need to convert the mass of CO₂ and H₂O to moles to find the C:H ratio and determine a possible empirical formula thus:
Moles CO₂ (Molar mass 44g/mol):
44g ₓ (1mol / 44g) = 1 mole CO₂ = 1 mole C
Mole of H₂O (Molar mass 18g/mol):
45g ₓ (1 mol / 18g) = 2.5 moles H₂O = 5 moles H
Thus, in the compound you have 5 moles of H per mole of C, and a possible empirical formula is:
B. CH₅N
The only structure that meet this C:H ratio
