Answer:

To show that Native Americans at times are more civil than Puritans.

Explanation:

Benjamin Franklin's "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America" was written to show the writer's appreciation of the Native Indians and their 'customs' as compared to the 'civilized' people like the Whites. In his 1784 prose, Franklin points out how the Indians were thought to be 'barbaric' while the whites think of themselves as the most civilized race.

In the given excerpt, Franklin shows the civilized nature of the Indians by recounting their behavior during any Council. He states that while normal <em>"councils"</em> of the British House or in companies in Europe are more accustomed to being met with 'constant conversation and at times even disrupted, the Indians show more civility in their behavior. He reveals, <em>"To interrupt another, even in common Conversation, is reckon'd highly indecent." </em>This sarcastic and satirical comment is to shows how Native Americans are more civilized than the Puritans.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/last option.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Goshia [24]

Answer: the answer is indeed soft.

Explanation:

From all the options given, the best one is soft. Even though "diffused" originally means scattered or disperse, especially when it refers to light or brightness, the context helps us get to the conclusion that there is a certain softness about the way the light is spread around the room. As we can see below:

<em>In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a </em><em>few scattered sunbeams</em><em> which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a </em><em>soft brightness</em><em> that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and </em><em>tender light.</em><em> It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.</em>

In her book Gift from the Sea, author and aviator Anne Morrow Lindbergh (1906–2001) writes, "We tend not to choose the unknown w
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Lindbergh book was a chance for women to think outside the box, in 1950.

She instigates the reader to confront the unknow, so that he or she can experience new things.

Explanation:

In her book Lindbergh talks about relationships, specially marriage, and how women could be more than just a housewife, and how would be healthier for married people to be able to develop their own individuality.

When she instigates the reader to confront the unknown, it is a powerful and positive thing to do, because when we explore new things our lives change. Our horizon expands and our minds become more inclined to accept new things.

The unknown might seen a little bit unconfortable in the beginning, but then, it shifts us. Narrowmind thoughts are no longer allowed and we are suddenly susceptible to new points of view. For instance, a very simple example is a place or city that you had never being before, in the first moment you might not like it, but as soon as you start exploring, knowing and learning about it, you will be surprised with the amount of great stuff you will experience.

The best conclusion is Lindbergh conclusion, "the unknown is not to be feared". She is right. We should be delighted by the unknown, the expectations, the mistery behind it. That is the beauty of life. That is what makes life spontaneous and amazing. We never have the same day twice.
