Answer:

Thoreau's Civil Disobedience espouses the need to prioritize one's conscience over the dictates of laws. It criticizes American social institutions and policies, most prominently slavery and the Mexican-American War.

Thoreau begins his essay  arguing that the government rarely proves itself useful and that it derives its power from the majority because they are the strongest group, not because they hold the most legitimate viewpoint. He contends that people's first obligation is to do what they believe is right and not to follow the law dictated by the majority. When a government is unjust, people should refuse to follow the law and distance themselves from the government in general. A person is not obligated to devote his life to eliminating evils from the world, but he is obligated not to participate in such evils.

Find the error in this passage, and then identify what type of error it is.
Reika [66]

The error is this passage is punctuation. The correct punctuation in these sentences is the following: “Often, when a child talks about fairness, she means sameness<em><u>. She</u></em> wants her situation to be the same as her brother's situation.”

A period is needed between the word “sameness” and “she” since it separates two complete sentences. If a period is not included then the whole phrase does not have sense.  

Punctuation is an important writing resource that helps us organize and add coherence to our texts.

The ball is running _____ us.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

towards

Explanation:

A preposition can be defined as a word that shows or illustrates the relationship between a pronoun or noun and other words in a sentence.

The main purpose of a preposition as a part of speech is to introduce an object (of, upon), indicate a timeframe (from, by, over), show direction (to, across, along), location or place (at, up, after, below) and to illustrate the spatial or sequential relationship between two or more things, people, place, etc.

Some examples of a preposition used in various literary works in English language are up, below, after, by, against, for, over, at, to, towards, etc.

Hence, the most appropriate word to fill the blank is "towards" and the complete sentence would be written as; "The ball is running towards us."

In English language, towards is a preposition that is used to describe the direction in which something or someone moves.
