Answer:
The first response
Explanation:
The first response is the only claim that makes sense. To check, let's use the process of elimination.
Second: Calling the scientists' surveys unsophisticated is irrelevant and does not prove that the original claim is correct.
Third: This option does not address the points made by the counterclaim and instead pushes the original idea. It is important to remember that it is supposed to be a response, not a new statement.
Fourth: This response gives up on the original idea and ends the debate, with the counterclaim winning.
Answer:
D) Patrick Henry pleads with legislature to take up arms against encroaching British forces before it’s too late.
Explanation:
Patrick Henry was one of the most talented American nationalists who influenced the country's independence and shaped the nation's history. A well-educated lawyer and politician, Henry was a key figure in the events leading up to the American Revolution that began in 1775 leading to America's independence in 1776. An excellent speaker and a successful farmer, Henry's influence was felt in America pre and post independency.
On March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry spoke at the convention in Richmond, Virginia, about growing tensions between the colony and England.
The original speech was not transcribed by anyone at the time, but everyone present reported that it was one of the best, most inflamed and persuasive ever delivered. The delegates who watched Patrick Henry's brilliant and historic performance agree on the last sentence of the speech, which immortalized its author: "Give me Liberty or Give me Death!"
The phrase influences many political speeches to this day. It is present at the opening of the Uruguayan anthem ("Orientales la Patria o la Tumba!") And in the Greek slogan ("Eleftheria i thanatos", "Freedom or Death"), among others.
rhetorical device uses words in a certain way to convey meaning or persuade. also used to invoke emotions in reader. irony is contrast between expectation and reality. what something appears to mean vs what it LITERALLY means (i.e. situational irony - getting a result that is the opposite of what was expected)
