I would say the correct answer would be Alex is his brother since the way the statement is worded, first it talks of his sister, then of his brother Jerry and next his sibling, Alex so since it comes right after the mention of his brother Jerry I would think Alex would be a brother though I can't prove it .
The answer would be letter D. <em>The hideous and revolting conduct of the past and present</em>
Letter A makes no sense with the text.
C, although a somewhat possible conclusion, is not the message the author attempts to transmit.
B, although maybe the main argument to sustain the author's point, it's still not the main idea he aims to pass.
The author intent is to show what the Fourth of July looks like from the slaves' point-of-view. For that, he reminds people of the disparity between them (free white people) and slaves, of how the feelings of liberty and justice do not encompass all. And because of it, this day may be a celebration occasion to them, but to slaves, it's a 'mourning' occasion, with nothing to rejoice or be proud of. Finally, he concludes by stating "<em>Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting.</em>" - which is the answer to the question.
The answer is A we just learned about this.
<span>Boo Radley is very reclusive and hardly ventures out into the world at all. We don't know exactly why this is, although as far as we can tell, the treatment by his family has contributed to it. It seems he is motivated by his fear of the outside world to live as recursively as he does, but his interactions with Scout and Jem show a different side. He is very caring and protective of them, although, ironically, they don't realize this for a long time and persist in fearing him as some kind of monster. He comes to function as a symbol of basic goodness and innocence, in contrast to society at large which is shown to be riddled with hypocrisy and prejudice.He is outside society and free from its vices. He is motivated by compassion and does not look for rewards. Ultimately, and crucially, he helps Scout to realize that, in spite of many grim events in the course of the novel, there is still goodness in the world.
I hope this helps!</span>
Stubborn means to have determination to not change one's attitude or position on something. A good time to be stubborn is when something compromises your morals.
