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.

Which of the following does a business setting call for?
JulijaS [17]
The answer is all of the above except choice 3.

In a business setting, you never want to use a detached tone. This gives the impression to your colleague/boss/etc. that you don't care and don't really want to be there. It shows that you don't see them as important and don't care about what they have to say. It won't achieve anything for you.

It burns the prettiest of any wood. is it right?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

"It burns the prettiest of any wood" is a phrase that, through allegory, focuses on the concept of equality, by establishing that everything that has the same characteristics will ultimately have the same result, since the intrinsic equal nature of things means that, despite minor differences, this difference is not seen in the essence of the thing. Thus, all those things that are essentially the same, such as wood, beyond their minor characteristics (beauty, for example) are equal to each other and therefore will burn in the same way.

Circle the incorrect pronoun shift if the student feels ill they should be sent to the nurse
Mandarinka [93]

   

   A pronoun shift is when you modify the pronoun in the same sentence, then the reader is not able to understand who is the subject of the sentence.

   In the exemplified sentence the pronoun inserted incorrectly is <u>they</u>, shifting the initially singular subject "The student" (pronouns he or she) to a plural pronominal form.

   When correcting, the writer must evaluate which is the desired pronoun, that fits his subject.:

<em>(Singular form) If the student feels ill, he/she should be sent to the nurse. </em>

<em>(Plural form) If the students feel ill, they should be sent to the nurse.</em>

   So, the pronoun shift that should be circled is They
