Read this excerpt from "The Hypocrisy of American Slavery" by Frederick Douglass, a former slave and a leader of the abolitionis

t movement.
Whom does the speaker address in this speech?
What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? I answer, a day that reveals to him more than all other days of the year, the gross Injustice
and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty an unholy license; your national
greatness, swelling vanity: your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mock; your prayers
and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to hlm mere bombast, fraud, deception,
Implety, and hypocrisy --a thin vell to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation of the earth guilty of
practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of these United States at this very hour.
Go search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out
every abuse and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me
that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.
A.
all residents of the United States
all the nations of the world
Ос.
the white population of the United States
OD.
African Americans still under slavery
ОЕ
leaders of the Southern states

Type four words that you use in a way that is different from their "proper"meaning
Yuki888 [10]
Neat
sweet
ridiculous
hot

The four words above are frequently used by people in informal situations with meanings that differ from their "proper" or standard ones. First, let's take a look at their original, literal definitions:
1. neat - tidy, organized; efficient.
2. sweet - sugary; sugary food; pleasant, delightful.
3. ridiculous - laughable, comical; absurd.
4. hot - very warm; spicy.
In everyday informal conversations, those words take on different connotations. Sweet and neat can be used as compliments to things and people who are considered cool, nice, interesting. For instance:
- Man, that ride is neat!
- You got a bonus! Sweet!
Ridiculous can also assume a better connotation than the original. It can refer to something being greater, better than expected:
- He made a ridiculous amount of money at that job.
Finally, hot can be used to describe something or someone that is quite famous/popular:
- You haven't heard this song yet? But this band is hot! Everyone knows them!

in a short essay response of at least seventy five words, explain what it means to analyze a piece of fiction.
Alisiya [41]
 To analyze a piece of fiction, it means to organize or sort it. So to analyze it, you must seek out the information you need, and use it. For example "Bob and his dragon Steve had a nice breakfeast of bacon and pancakes. Steve burped loudly after." you only need the fact that Steve and Bob had pancakes and bacon. 

Im not writing the whole thing though.

Identify the sentence which quotation marks correctly.
elena-s [515]

The sentence which uses quotation marks correctly is:

D) Megan asked, "Did Hailey say, 'This will never work'?

This is correct because there has to be an extra set of quotation marks (') inside the parentheses when quoting another person. Also, the question mark has to be outside of the second set of quotes because Hailey did not ask the question, she made a statement.
