The best example I can think of Bush (former president of the U.S) proclaimed after 9/11 that you (who would be watching his speech) are either with us or against us. Either, you are for America or you like terrorism. To avoid it, think about it first then relate it to you, believe whatever you want. While I was young when this was happening, now I proclaim that I agree with neither. I know how horrible it was but I don't believe in going to war for it.
The decasyllabic line is C. Miranda took a bitter pill today.
A decasyllabic line is one consisting of ten syllables, <em>deca-</em> meaning ten. The origin comes from Medieval French poetic meter of ten syllables that was used in poetic traditions of syllabic verse. In this sentence, the ten syllables are Mi-ran-da-took-a-bit-ter-pill-to-day.
Answer: A) Remove the phrase “It is petrifying” because it expresses a personal feeling and D) Add the phrase “and spread throughout the human species” to the end of the statement to more fully express the central idea.
Explanation: When writing a summary of the central idea of a text, we have to express the ideas in a brief and clear way, without including personal opinions or irrelevant details. In the given paragraph from "The Hot Zone" we can see that the main idea is that viruses can "come alive" even after death, and spread throughout the human species, so to improve the given summary we should remove the phrase “It is petrifying” because it expresses a personal feeling (and it is not objective) and also add the phrase “and spread throughout the human species” to the end of the statement because it is an important part of the main idea.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not include the paragraph of Equiano's book. However, we can help with a general comment.
Olaudah Equiano (1745-1797) used characterization in his book to give the proper dramatization to the moments and elements he described such as the way whites treated African slaves from the moment they caught them, how slaves were transported and how they were treated during the travel until they were sold as slaves. Characterization is also used in the book to transmit the moments of physical enslavement, the conversion, and how he scaped to be free.
Olaudah Equiano was a Nigerian slave that after escaping from slavery wrote his biography, "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano," in 1789.
