Answer: Vanity

Explanation: Vanity is excessive pride in one’s achievements and / or appearance. In the passage, the protagonist grew more in love with herself and her pride is described as darkening, which means it became something negative. Vanity is considered negative while self-love and self-admiration are positive when you experience them in healthy amounts.

First, identify the talents or gifts you have. Do you currently use them, or is it possible that you can use them in the near fu

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Some gifts or talents I have are artistic capabilities and the ability to sing well. I currently use both, however, I don't see myself using them in the future.

Explanation:

My talents can be used to help others by entertaining them or making them feel something. I would offer my singing in numerous places like open mic nights or talent shows. I can offer my art up for display in art shows or other forms of art display.

I think really anyone could benefit from the kind of art I make, but I feel like my singing might appeal to people more my age. I think people would benefit from my art because it makes them feel what my art represents. I think everyone could use a moment away from the world and to be able to just take in art or representative art would really do that.

I don't think it is possible to force influence on a person. People are influenced most by things that make them think or things that connect with them or their life situation. To try and force someone to be influenced by something they don't connect with will only result in them hating the thing and they'll be afraid to connect with their own likings in the future.

As they were preparing to leave, Prince told William, "I have no freedom to fight for, sir."

Mademuasel [1]

The reason why Prince said he had no freedom to fight for is the fact that he was a slave, as stated in option 1 and further explained below.

<h3>Why can't Prince fight?</h3>

According to the passage we are analyzing here, Prince was a slave who belonged to William. His owner expect Prince to join him in battle, that is, to fight alongside him. However, Prince explains that he cannot do so.

The reason why Prince has "no freedom to fight for" is the fact that he was a slave. Prince could very well join William in battle, but what for? Why should he fight for freedom when he is denied it? How can a slave be asked to die for the freedom of white people when his own people are treated as possessions?

By saying so, Prince got William to free him. Apparently, that sentence was an eye-opener to his master, who only now realized the incoherence there is in asking a slave to fight for freedom.

With the information above in mind, we can select option 1 as the correct answer.

This is part of the missing passage which we need to answer this question:

"At the time he began his military service, William owned a slave like most of his peers. The slave, named Prince, would have been expected to join William and serve with him in battle. As they were preparing to leave, Prince told William, "I have no freedom to fight for, sir." Seeing the truth in this, William is reported to have freed Prince immediately. Today, we look back on history through a great fog of time, and with lenses clouded by our own modern values. Our Founding Fathers displayed admirable courage in crafting and signing such a brilliant claim to human liberty."
