According to the text, what was the best characteristic that a student at the narrators school could bring to a class discussion

?
A: objectivity
B: identity
C: too angry too weepy too irrational
D: too genteel

We practiced this “objectivity” in our current events class. It was never explicitly tied to identity but it was implied. I learned that the best person to talk about wealth and class was an upper middle class person because she supposedly could look at it dispassionately. The best person to talk about race was a white person, for the same reasons. The best person to talk about gender was a boy. When people affected by issues spoke for themselves they “got too angry, too weepy, too irrational”. In the mid-1990s, the biggest threat to America continued to be welfare queen. Or at least that’s what the news and many politicians all said. My school was far “too genteel” to name the welfare queen outright, but she haunted our balanced class discussions.

Why do books pages turn yellow or brown when done reading them?​
Inga [223]
Books that are surrounded by oxygen will turn yellow, so basically, all books since oxygen is constantly surrounding us. Oxygen-rich conditions are very bad for paper, which gives them the yellow tiny. This is actually called lignin oxidation! Lignin oxidation gives it a yellow or brown colour as you said. Yellow comes first, then brown after.

I hope this helped a bit! :)

To convince readers that censors have unjust motives, the author uses rhetoric to appeal mostly to
kumpel [21]

Here is the full excerpt for this question:

For me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfilment. To learn to read is to start down the road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. There are those who think they know best what we should read. These censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.

I believe the answer is: D. emotions

Rhetoric that appeal to emotions could be seen from the use of sentences that is aimed to make the readers/listeners relate to a certain situation that might ignite their emotional response. From the excerpt above, this could be seen in this line: <em>No one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today.</em>
