The correct anwer to this question about "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" is the following:

These lines show a contrast between formal and informal language and music and lyrics.

The song, "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" (1963) was written by Bod Dylan after the actual murder of Hattie Carroll, a Black working-class woman by Billy Zantzinger, the scion of a rich tobacco farming family. This serves as a contrast between the music, its rhythm and beautiful melody with the lyrics being sung.

Throughout the song, the mentioned lines are repeated as a chorus with a slight variation, telling us not to cry yet, since the worst is yet to come. These lines are the last chorus, after we know that Zantziner got away with manslaughter and was sentenced to just 6 months of prison. Here, Dylan addresses all of those who have been judging the case "objectively" with formal language (philosophize, disgrace, criticize) that its time to realize that the outcome was a justice failure and should cry for the injustice. This is marked by the use of informal language like the expression "bury the rag in your face", with rag meaning both mask and informal term for low quality newspaper. He is basically saying "read the trial outcome in this cheap newspaper and cry for the injustice"

Also, the contrast between formal and informal language would reflect the different social backgrounds of Hattie Carroll and Billy Zantziner.

Which sentence has a subject-verb agreement error? A) A man in a strange cloak and hat is walking on our back porch tonight! B)
balu736 [363]
The answer would be <span>B) One of my sister's friends that she made in her college sorority are a doctor.

The subject-verb error occurs in the words made and are. Made indicates a past-tense event, while are indicates the present-tense. To fix the sentence, you could change are to is. 

</span>One of my sister's friends that she made in her college sorority is a doctor.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech highlighted four freedoms in his speech: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.

It was time to take strong action because there was a threat to America's security. None of the countries had earlier attacked world democracy but it was possible then that this would happen.
