Answer:

What is the main idea of the bolded paragraph?

Gandhi had much to lose.

Gandhi was more organized than Thoreau.

Gandhi protested against taxes.

Gandhi was willing to go to jail

Thoreau’s ideas had a profound effect on a man named Gandhi. Gandhi, was a leader in India who worked to end British rule. He led India to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. He fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. Like Thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. In India, Gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." He urged Indians to boycott British education systems and leave government jobs. The movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the British controlled government arrested him. After a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. He inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. On one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. This march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. Eventually India won independence from Britain, in large part because of Gandhi work.

Gandhi's model of resistance and reform was creative, appealing, and successful. As a result, Dr. Martin Luther King looked to Gandhi when the time came to find a way to resist segregation in the South. The lunch counter protests, famous for the passive response to anger, and even violence, aimed to end the separation enforced by laws in some regions of the South. King also organized walks, marches, and bus rides that were meant to bring attention to the issues facing African Americans. These forms of protest were directly modeled on Gandhi's, but King took them straight to the source of oppression. Where Gandhi's protests created awareness and built momentum, King's protests were in the face of great hatred and fear. The passive, non-violent protests were ultimately effective, mainly because the passive response to violence cast the opposition as brutes. However, change came slowly and at the cost of many lives. King remained committed to peaceful protest, however, until his death. King learned from Gandhi, expanding on what worked, applying old techniques to a new problem. Gandhi owed his philosophy, in part, to a New England poet who loved the woods.

Read the excerpt from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontě.
Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

Here, Helen is talking about Miss Temple.

Miss Temple is full of goodness; it pains her to be

severe to any one, even the worst in the school: she

sees my errors, and tells me of them gently; and, if I do

anything worthy of praise, she gives me my meed

liberally. One strong proof of my wretchedly defective

nature is, that even her expostulations, so mild, so

rational, have not influence to cure me of my faults; and

even her praise, though I value it most highly, cannot

stimulate me to continued care and foresight.

Based on this excerpt, what does Helen think about

herself?

O She has faults and weaknesses that she hasn't been

able to overcome.

O She is one of Miss Temple's best and favorite

students.

O She does not appreciate her teachers enough.

O She tries to live up to Miss Temple's expectations.

Which sentence has a misplaced modifier?
monitta

Answer: The sentence that has a misplaced modifier is A. Excited for a bone, Erika told the dog to sit.

Explanation: A misplaced modifier is a modifier that has been incorrectly separated from the word or phrase that it is modifying. In that way, when it is present in a sentence, a misplaced modifier ends up modifying another word or phrase and making the sentence illogical. For instance,<u> in sentence A., "Excited for a bone" is a misplaced modifier since it is incorrectly modifying the noun "Erika"</u>.<u> "Excited for a bone" should actually be modifying the noun phrase "the dog"</u>; otherwise, the sentence does not make sense.
