The correct answer to this open question is the following.

This is the summary.

Frederick Douglass was an African American reformer and abolitionist who, on July 5, 1852, was invited a keynote speaker during the Independence Day celebration. There, he delivered a controversial speech about the impact of independence on black people living in America.

Right there, in the Corinthian Hall of Rochester, in the state of New York, Douglass delivered a controversial speech nobody expected. He set the tone of the speech since the very beginning of his words when he literally said "This fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice. I must mourn."

That really caught people's attention. And that was just the beginning.

In his speech, Douglass recognized the value and courage of the United States founding fathers but clearly established that those rights stated in the US Constitution were not for everyone. They were just for the white people. Not the African American people who have been suffering for racist segregation and most in the South were suffering because they were slaves.

The Egyptologist, who had worked with the business person, was convinced that King Tut's tomb was in the Valley of the Kings.
Ivanshal [37]
Since nothing is underlined, I am going to make an educated guess that the underlines clause is "who had worked with the business person". If that is the case, the correct answer would be D - adjective clause. It is a relative clause, to be more precise, because it starts with a relative pronoun "who", but that is a part of adjectival clauses, so that is the correct answer.

How do pollutants add to the problem of plastic in the ocean?
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

D- Pollutants are released from plastics and further contaminate the water.

Explanation:

Stuff like plastic can release a lot of harmful things into the environment. When plastic breaks down, it can release chemicals into water sources. Also, things like paint on the plastic and chemicals leftover in unwashed bottles can also be released as the plastic sits and degrades in the environment.
