When a child says, “I don’t see why I have to know that; I can’t remember it anyway,” he is voicing a very reasonable protest. O

f course, there are plenty of instances of wilful shirking, where a little effort can overcome the slackness of memory; but every teacher who is honest enough to reckon with himself knows he cannot give a sensible reason why things are to be taught which have so little to do with the child’s life that to-morrow, or the day after examination, they will be forgotten; things which he himself could not remember were he not repeating them year in and year out, as a matter of his trade. And every teacher who has thought at all for himself about the essential nature of the young humanity he is dealing with, knows that six hours of daily herding and in-penning of young, active bodies and limbs, accompanied by the additional injunction that no feet are to be shuffled, no whispers exchanged, and no paper wads thrown, is a frightful violation of all the laws of young life. Any gardener who should attempt to raise healthy, beautiful, and fruitful plants by outraging all those plants’ instinctive wants and searchings, would meet as his reward—sickly plants, ugly plants, sterile plants, dead plants. He will not do it; he will watch very carefully to see whether they like much sunlight, or considerable shade, whether they thrive on much water or get drowned in it, whether they like sandy soil, or fat mucky soil; the plant itself will indicate to him when he is doing the right thing. And every gardener will watch for indications with great anxiety. If he finds the plant revolts against his experiments, he will desist at once, and try something else; if he finds it thrives, he will emphasize the particular treatment so long as it seems beneficial. But what he will surely not do, will be to prepare a certain area of ground all just alike, with equal chances of sun and amount of moisture in every part, and then plant everything together without discrimination,—mighty close together!—saying beforehand, “If plants don’t want to thrive on this, they ought to want to; and if they are stubborn about it, they must be made to.”
In the second sentence of this paragraph, the repetition of the word “things” primarily serves to:

A) qualify a claim by acknowledging an exception to it
B) portray contrasting viewpoints as equally legitimate
C) clarify an argument by restating it in simpler terms
D) illustrate a generalization with a particular case
E) strengthen an assertion by broadening its implications

Which words and phrases from this excerpt help create a tone of admiration? Check all that apply.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Highly valuable, courageous, critical role

Explanation:

The given excerpt is the following:

In World War I and World War II, American Indian soldiers played a critical role in the US military effort by using their native languages as the basis for creating successful codes. The most famous of these soldiers were a group of four hundred men known as the Navajo code talkers. These innovative and courageous soldiers developed for the United States Marine Corps a virtually unbreakable military code, which proved highly valuable against the Japanese during the Second World War.

The words used to create a tone of admiration, that express respect and approval, in it are <em>highly valuable, courageous, </em>and <em>critical role.</em>

The code of the Navajo is described as highly valuable, which means that it was approved of and considered to be an important asset by the United States.

The Navajo soldiers are described as courageous, which is another positive, respected trait. They were brave and not afraid to get hurt or even lose their lives for the sake of victory.

The fact that these soldiers played a critical role means that they played a huge part in war and greatly contributed to its positive outcome.
