The police are asking questions over and over and they get tired thinking they can go home
Answer:
D, I believe it is.
Explanation:
It makes sense to be the correct answer to highlight the livelyness of the environment.
Although slavery in the United States ended in the late 19th century, institutionalized racism continued to oppress African Americans even decades later. By the mid-20th century, blacks were still forced to use separate public utilities and schools from the superior ones reserved for whites; they suffered routine discrimination in employment and housing, as well as abuse and lynching from some whites, and they were unable to fully exercise their right to vote.
Some rhetorical devices that are used in "Carry Your Own Skis" are repetition and allusion.
Repetition is used when the author describes her attitude toward life using the phrase "To the lodge and back, baby". This is done in paragraph 8, and in the final paragraph.
The entire lead-in story about the author's family's experiences with skiing is an allusion used to set the article's later theme of being responsible for oneself and persevering.
The statement which best explains the meaning of the excerpt from Betty Friedan's "The Problem That Has No Name" is the following one:
Women no longer have to die in childbirth or do hard housework thanks to twentieth-century advances.
The author mentions science and labor-saving appliances as the twentieth-century advances that would free women from the dangers of childbirth and the illnesses of their grandmothers (the first) and also from drudgery (the latter).
We must rule out the other alternatives because:
- It's not that women's grandmothers gave them diseases; it's just that science hadn't evolved to the point of being able to find a cure for some minor diseases before the advances of twentieth-century advances.
- The author says nothing about women not <em>enjoying</em> childbirth; she only mentions the dangers of it.
- The author does not mention "doctors". In fact, she mentions "science" and "labor-saving appliances". Even if we regard doctors as professionals who prescribe medication (invented by science), the last alternative says nothing about labor-saving appliances.
