Answer:
American exceptionalism is a view of the United States of America that the country sees its history as inherently different from that of other nations, stemming from its emergence from the American Revolution, becoming what the political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset called "the first new nation" and developing a uniquely American ideology, "Americanism", based on liberty, equality before the law, individual responsibility, republicanism, representative democracy, and laissez-faire economics. This ideology itself is often referred to as "American exceptionalism." Second is the idea that America has a unique mission to transform the world. President Abraham Lincoln stated in the Gettysburg address during the American Civil War, in reference to the preservation of the United States itself, Americans have a duty to ensure, "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Third is the sense that America's history and its mission give it a superiority over other nations.
Answer:
Jack is an incredible linguist who is proficient in seven (different) languages.
Explanation:
Redundancy in the needless repetition of words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or ideas. By repeating words with the same or similar meaning we gain nothing. For example, in the given sentence, there is no need to say that Jack has the capability AND proficiency. It's enough to say one or the other, that he is capable of conversing in OR that he is proficient in seven different languages. We could even go as far as discarding the word <em>different</em>, as it's understood that Jack speaks seven different languages since there are no seven same languages, but it isn't as necessary as it is with other words.
"The Gift of the Magi" tells the story of a young couple Jim and Della. Christmas is coming, and each wants to buy the other a present. The problem is that they really cannot afford to spend a lot of money on presents. Jim treasures his gold pocket watch, which has been given to him by his father. Della treasures her long, beautiful hair.
As the story progresses, the two struggle to think of ways to buy a Christmas present for each other. Finally, on Christmas Eve, Della realizes she has next to no money left for her husband's Christmas present. What will she do???
At this point, she goes into town to search for something to buy with the little money she has. She knows that her husband's most prized possession is his pocket watch. She thinks that maybe she could buy him a chain for it, but they are all too expensive.
That's when Della realizes she has a way to EARN the money -- her hair. She runs out and has it cut short. She is able to sell the hair for enough money to buy the chain for her husband's watch.
Her husband comes home with a present for Della. When he sees her, however, he is shocked. She tells him she cut her hair for his present. When Jim hands her his present, we can see why he was so shocked. He had bought her a pair of really expensive hair combs. How could he afford such a gift? He had sold his most prized possession -- his watch -- just to buy his wife a present.
Of course, now that Della has short hair, she cannot use the combs. And, now that Jim has sold his watch, he has no use for the chain. That aside, their love for one another is the greatest gift of all.
And so, Della's problem was how to buy a gift for her beloved husband. She solves this problem by selling her most prized possession, her hair.
The statement that best explains the aesthetic elements of a literary work is Aesthetic elements impart an artistic quality. Aestheticism has to do with beauty, with everything that is pretty and pleasing to the eye. So, aesthetic elements obviously has to do with art and making a literary work more artistic. They usually have no impact on characters, theme, or background of the story, but only on its artistic value.
