Answer:

The word GANGSTER as used in the passage gives a NEGATIVE connotation and could be inferred to mean the word ENEMY.

Explanation:

CONNOTATION simply means the perception of idea which a word gives when used or uttered as deduced from it's literal meaning.

The literal or primary meaning of the word gangster is a criminal, immoral and violent individual. This meaning resonates negativity and hence a negative CONNOTATION.

The use of the word GANGSTER and other inflammatory words such as TREACHEROUS is used to invoke the American people to see the Japanese as their enemy and prepare to hit back.

Therefore,

•The word GANGSTER gives a negative CONNOTATION and implies enemy.

• Inflammatory language used help convey a message to hit back.

The word gangster refers to a group of vicious criminals who usually operate in an organized manner.

The word Axis Powers here refers to the coalition of Germany, Italy, and Japan. So, because the attack was jointly carried out by this group of states, Roosevelt in an attempt to brand them accordingly used the word gangsters.

2. The general context and language of the speech in the passage serves to underscore the criminality of the actions of the Axis Powers.

In the context in which Roosevelt used those words, he was referring to the above-named coalition. His spefdech was a call to all countries of the world to bear America witness against the actions of the Axis Powers and in a way, to absolve the United States of America from the consequences of any retaliatory actions that she was prepared to carry out against the attackers.

History shows that the US's retaliation was devastating and lasted generations afterward.

Roosevelt was not only incensed about the attack on America but delivered the above speech using words such as gangster to connote that their actions were criminal and unpopular. One could say that his objective was to ensure that listeners would become sympathetically inflamed as well.

The central idea of Roosevelt's delivery, therefore, is that no country has the right to deny other states the entitlement to live in harmony with its neighbors and that to attack a neighbor was a criminal action.

Explanation:

Answer:

5. climatic

Arranging things in a sequence, where each things precedes or succedes another is called ordering. Ordering can be done in several ways, depending on ordering criteria.

For example, we can arrange events chronologically, which means we arrange them based on the time period when they occured; from the most to the least recent event, or vice versa.

Spatial arrangement means that we list things based on their position in space; from right to left, or from top to bottom.

Logical order is when we place things in a manner that each one logically follows the previous.

However, in this example, we have climatic order, which means that things are arranged in an order from the least important to the most important, making the final thing on the list the most important, or strongest, or the best.

Which shows a change in trade from early villages to complex societies?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Wassup!!! XD

Explanation:

As a result of the first agricultural revolution, humans were able to produce their own food as well as surpluses which meant that they no longer had to be nomadic people who followed food sources.

Due to the presence of the aforementioned surpluses, the society changed in that not everyone was required to work to produce food. Some of these people then became skilled workers known as artisans who could make goods and services that they could then sell to other villages.

This meant that trade did not just occur in villages but across them and led to a development in trade that brought prosperity to those involved thereby transforming small villages and towns to more complex societies.
