Answer:
C) Mandela furnishes several inspiring examples of his courage during times of racial oppression in order to motivate his audience to turn away from poverty, deprivation, and discrimination.
Explanation:
Mandela who happens to be one of the most respected South African ever lived was accorded this respect as a result of his sacrifices during the aparthied period. He was jailed for 25 years and later came out of proison and went ahead to ebcome his country's president.
During his address to the audience who where mostly new genrations of South Africans that never witnessed the aparthied, he had to make references to courage in the time of opperession. This was what he used to motivate his people to turn away from poverty, deprivation and discrimination.
He believed that, if his people discriminate, they are simply reliving the events of the aparthied regime where the blacks where discriminated against by the whites in their own country.
Answer:
In an argumentative essay, this excerpt would most likely belong:
D. in the middle of the essay, because it is a body paragraph.
Explanation:
<u>The very beginning of the excerpt shows that it is explaining and adding to something that was already said earlier: "Even children can be harmed by TV shows and movies . . ." This paragraph certainly follows the claim that TV shows and movies have the power to harm people. It is adding to that claim by offering evidence that those shows and movies may even harm children. Thus, we can see it is a body paragraph, which makes option D the best choice.</u>
A hook, which is an opening statement, would most likely be the very first sentence of the whole text, so we can eliminate option A.
The paragraph is certainly not a conclusion since it is not restating the main idea in fewer words, but is presenting new evidence instead. Letter B is also wrong.
Letter C is incorrect for two reasons: this paragraph is not a claim and, even if it were, claims do not appear at the end of the essay.
A complex situation that often involves an apparent mental conflict between moral imperatives, in which to obey one would result in transgressing another.
Answer:
Apprehensive
Explanation:
Jonas feels apprehensive for getting his assignment.
<span>Two months pass. Right before New Year's, Praskovya Fedorovna's
brother stops by to make a visit. Ivan comes home to find him alone in
the house. When he sees Ivan he gives him an "Oh my goodness, you look
like a walking corpse" stare. But when Ivan asks him if he looks
different, he admits only "there has been a change" (5.3).Somewhat later, the disturbed Ivan goes to a mirror and compares his current appearance with an old photograph of himself.There's definitely been a change.As
he walks away from the mirror he overhears a conversation between
Praskovya Fedorovna and her brother, who is telling her that Ivan
already looks like a dead man. She says he's exaggerating.Ivan
decides he must go to see Peter Ivanovich at once, since he has a doctor
friend. His wife – could she be showing signs of a conscience? – gives
him an extra-kind and pitying look as he leaves which only succeeds in
disgusting him.Peter and Ivan go to see a doctor, with the same
results as usual: more incomprehensible talk about Ivan's "vermiform
appendix" and the assurance that everything could turn out just fine.
Ivan just needs to wait for absorption to occur.For the rest of the day, Ivan has the absorbing, vermiform appendix lodged in the back of his head.He
comes home to find Lisa is receiving a visit from her current suitor,
Fedor Petrovich. Everyone notices Ivan is in a better mood than usual.Ivan
goes to bed (he now sleeps alone in his study) and tries to read a Zola
novel but can only think about that vermiform appendix of his.<span>Ivan is convinced that absorption will occur, and that everything will be OK.</span>With
a burst of hope Ivan takes his medicine, touches his side, and happily
feels that there seems to be no pain. Could it be that absorption is
occurring right now?Sadly, no: it's only a few seconds before the pain comes back.<span>And it now hits Ivan that this isn't really about his appendix at all. It's about life and death. His death.</span>His life is ebbing away, and there's nothing he can do to stop it.<span>This is a rather terrifying realization, and Ivan becomes panic-stricken. Where will he go when he dies? What does it mean to die? He doesn't know, and he doesn't want to.</span>Music
that his daughter and her suitor are playing together drifts in, and
Ivan is infuriated. No one else realizes or cares that he is facing
death, alone.Ivan can't believe that all human beings could be sentenced to something so utterly horrible as death.Terror
seizes him again and he starts desperately feeling around for matches
to light the dark room, in the process whacking himself on his
nightstand. He attacks it furiously in retaliation and makes such a
racket that Praskovya Fedorovna comes into the room.Ivan tells Praskovya Fedorovna he's feeling worse, and she proposes to bring in another specialist.<span>Ivan is not happy with that idea. She kisses him, managing only to make him hate her more.</span></span>
