The mouse was a poor contemptible people whom God brought to the New World for the purpose of overcoming Satan and "dispossessing him of his kingdom
Answer:
1) This passage does not contain an argument. It begins with a comment that everyone knows the U.S. is having an election (in 2008); the author proceeds to state three things that he thinks Europe should focus on. He does not offer reasons for his statement that these three things are jobs, Muslims, and neighbors.
2) This passage contains both an argument and a sub-argument. 1.The butler was passionately in love with the victim. Thus, 2. It was not the butler who committed the murder. 3. Either the butler committed the murder or the judge committed the murder. Therefore, 4. The judge committed the murder. The sub-argument goes from (1) to (2), and the main argument goes from (2) and (3) to (4). Note again: identifying the structure does not imply saying that this is a good argument.
3) This passage contains an argument. Standardization: (1) No one who uses a relatively unreliable procedure in order to decide whether to punish can know whether that other person deserves punishment. (2) No one who cannot know whether another person deserves punishment has a right to punish that person. Therefore, (3) No one who uses a relatively unreliable procedure in order to decide whether to punish another person has a right to punish that person.
Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
She held up her hands, strong, shapely hands, and surveyed them critically, drawing up her fawn sleeves above the wrists. Looking at them reminded her of her rings, which she had given to her husband before leaving for the beach. Which is the best evidence that “surveyed” means “looked at”?
The author uses both “surveyed” and “looking” to describe the narrator observing her hands.
The author uses a verb form of “to survey” instead of “to look” to help the reader visualize more clearly.
The author is describing a character’s strong, shapely hands, with missing rings on the fingers.
The author is describing a routine, personal exchange between a wife and her husband.
Answer:
The author uses both “surveyed” and “looking” to describe the narrator observing her hands.
Explanation:
It is very common for authors to give clues as to what a word means. Those are called context clues and can be used by readers to decipher a new or uncommon word without looking it up at a dictionary. In the passage we are studying here, the author Kate Chopin used two verbs to describe the same action. She first mentions how the character surveyed her own hands. In the sentence the immediately follows, she continues describing the same action, but now saying the character is looking at her hands. From that context clue, the reader can safely conclude that "survey" and "look at" refer to the same action and are, thus, synonyms in this context.
