Answer:
Firstly, just because 16-year-olds do other tasks that 18-year-olds do doesn’t mean we should let them do even more. The Whataboutism of “well if we can let them drive, we should let them vote” argument can be reversed. “Well if we can let them drive, we can let them carry a firearm.” “Well if we can let them drive, we can lower the draft age.” Whataboutism is not a good argument.
Secondly, 16-year-olds aren’t well informed enough to make such decisions that can affect the rest of the country. I’m fully aware some 16-year-olds are well informed enough, however the average 16-year-old isn’t. According to Annenberg Public Policy Center, only 36% of all Americans adults can name the three branches of government. Most of these adults have presumably graduated high school. So now we are going to let high schoolers, the majority who are two years away from receiving the same education as these uninformed adults, the right to vote?
Third, a lot of people contend that lowering the voting age would increase voter participation. How so? For example, 16 and 17-year-olds were allowed to vote in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. Results showed 16- and 17-year old voter participation was in the middle of pack among age groups. While it’s not a baseless argument, it’s not an argument that has much merit.
The final contention is the thought that 16-year-olds are just as mature as 18-year-olds. Yes, that is an actual argument. “Some have questioned the maturity of our youth. I don’t. A sixteen-year-old in 2019 possesses a wisdom and a maturity that comes from 2019 challenges, hardships and threats,” said U.S. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. Are you sure? No serious person will contend the average 16-year-old is at an equal maturity level as an 18-year-old.
Answer:
They advanced to the monster’s den. Humbaba / charged out roaring at them and said, / “I know you, Gilgamesh. Don’t be a fool.”
Gilgamesh felt his courage return. / They charged at Humbaba like two wild bulls.
He could not move forward, could not retreat. / Gilgamesh saw it, he leaped upon him, / he held a knife to Humbaba’s throat.
Explanation:
Stephen Mitchell's "Gilgamesh: A New English Version" is his translated version of the epic character of Gilgamesh, an ancient king of the city of Uruk. The character of Gilgamesh is described as a heroic king who feared no monsters and also displays the moral theme of friendship, loyalty, and the importance of mortality.
Among the given lines of the excerpt, the second, third, and fourth options show that Gilgamesh takes risks, They talk of how he<em> "advanced to the monster Humbaba's den"</em>. And instead of retreating in fear, he and his friend Enkidu charged at the monster <em>"like two wild bulls"</em> and eventually <em>"held a knife to Humbaba's throat"</em>. Despite the odds and Enkidu's fear, he maintained his composure and ensured that he displays no fear. Then, he led the charge and eventually helped defeat the monster.
Thus, the <u>answers are the second, third, and fourth options.</u>
Answer:
First, a quick introduction.
Unrestricted thesis is a vary broad thesis that doesn't provide one clear topic to debate on.
Unlike this, restricted thesis is the one that is much more specific and narrower.
"Classical music is the basis for most rock music" leaves us on a to broad field for debate. There are countless ways this can be revised into restricted thesis. One can be more specific about what aspect of classical music, or which composer provided this basis. Also one could be more specific about genres of rock influenced by classical music etc.
For example, one of the possible revisions could be:
Mozart's chord progression provided a pattern that influenced classic rock bands.
This is now much more specific topic (restricted thesis) for debate.
Answer: B. hope
Explanation:
Ronald Reagan in this speech expressed his dreams on what the United States could be like if he was elected president. The views he had were positive and said in such a way that he was optimistic about the future of the country.
When a person expresses optimism about the future, they do so with hope because hope is the feeling we get when we want something optimistic to happen in future.
