Answer:

A. manacles of segregation

B. chains of discrimination

C. island of poverty

D. ocean of material prosperity.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a literary device which applies a word or phrase to another word, which ordinarily it has no connection to. A metaphor reveals the concealed similarities between the two words used. In this excerpt of the speech by Martin Luther King Jr., several metaphors were used. They include;

1. Manacles of segregation- Manacles are chain used in fastening peoples hands or ankles. Segregation is the separation of people. Martins' use of this phrase is a metaphor which highlights the hidden similarities between a chain and separating of people from others. It is a form of bondage.

2. Chains of discrimination- It also has similar meaning to the metaphor above. Chains are linked or compared to discriminatory acts.

3. Island of Poverty- An island is land surrounded by water. An island is bare and isolated. It has a similarity with poverty which is a state of lack.

4. Ocean of Material prosperity- An ocean is a large expanse of sea. It represents abundance and that is why Martins could connect the two words.

Which two sentences from the article include central ideas? While each utopian community had differences, they shared a common v

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Two sentences from the article that include central ideas are:

1. While each utopian community had differences, they shared a common vision of living together.

2. They survived by modifying their system into two distinct organizations, one secular and one religious.

Explanation:

A central idea is the main point or theme that the author is making in the writing or presentation. It is also called the main or key idea. This implies that the central idea is the focus of an article or a presentation. The sentence that contains the central idea is called a thesis statement. This captures the claim being presented in an article. However, a text or presentation could contain more than one central idea.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens because aging brings about a loss of creative capacity. However, studies show that scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a disproportionately large number entered their field at an older age than usual. Since by the age of forty the large majority of scientists have been working in their field for at least fifteen years, the studies findings strongly suggest that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have aged but rather that scientists over forty have generally spent too long in their field.
