Answer: B, the negative connotations of the words “dust,” “aching,” and “weary” give the excerpt a tone of tiredness.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, we learn that the mole has been working hard, and that he worked all morning. Spring-cleaning usually implies a deep cleaning, like replacing the carpet or cleaning your oven. However, when someone typically does some spring-cleaning, they end up tired. We can prove this by using the words “aching” and “weary,” as they describe being tired.

What was Grant's main strategy during his Overland Campaign, to help work toward the defeat of the Confederacy?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

He wanted to keep the Army of Northern Virginia from invading the North again

Explanation:

The Rebel commander's grand objective was to hold the line of the Rapidan, and he failed; Grant's goal was to negate Lee's army as an effective fighting force, and in that he largely succeeded. By the end of the campaign, Grant had pinned Lee into defensive earthworks around Richmond and Petersburg.

The Union strategy to win the war did not emerge all at once. By 1863, however, the Northern military plan consisted of five major goals: Fully blockade all Southern coasts. This strategy, known as the Anaconda Plan, would eliminate the possibility of Confederate help from abroad.

The Anaconda Plan is the name applied to an outline strategy for suppressing the Confederacy at the beginning of the American Civil War. Proposed by General-in-Chief Winfield Scott, the plan emphasized a Union blockade of the Southern ports, and called for an advance down the Mississippi River to cut the South in two.
