Answer: I would contend that King wanted America to be a true homeland for African-Americans, as well as a safe, peaceful, healthy and integral place for all its inhabitants.

Explanation: In this excerpt from his speech "Beyond Vietnam" (April 1967), King is resorting to a passage from one of Langston Hughes poems in order to expound his rejection of the Vietnam War. In that poem, Hughes had said: "America never was America to me [...] and yet [...] America will be." It was this hopeful belief in a different America that inspired King, who was trying to respond to those who thought that he was "just" a Civil Rights leader. Apart from being indeed a Civil Rights Movement leader, King was a pacifist, and he publicly declared that he was against the Vietnam War, which was being fought when he gave this speech in New York. Like Hughes, King believed that America could be America for him and for many of his fellow countrymen, but not until it truly became an egalitarian nation, where everyone without exception could have life, liberty and happiness.

What caused Frederick to change his opinion of Lincoln
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: Lincoln's issue of the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) caused Frederick Douglass to change his opinion of Lincoln.

Explanation:

On January 1, 1863, during the third year of the civil war, Lincoln issued <em>the Emancipation Proclamation</em>. It stated that<em> "all persons held as slaves are, and henceforward shall be free." </em>This was a turning point for Douglass-Lincoln relationship, as Douglass realized that Lincoln was no longer focused on the Union - instead, he wanted to end slavery. Douglass did believe that this decision was long overdue, but genuinely supported Lincoln and his action.

Read the excerpt from “On Women’s Right to Vote,” an 1873 speech by Susan B. Anthony.
Serga [27]

Answer:

And when . . . people enter into a free government, they do not barter away their natural rights; they simply pledge themselves to protect each other in the enjoyment of them, through prescribed judicial and legislative tribunals.

Explanation:

An ellipsis is a set of dots (…) that show the omission of superfluous words or that could be inferred from contextual clues.

Only the second option applies it correctly because it only omits "100 or 1,000,000", which is information superfluous to the main idea of the speech.

The other options omit information that is crucial for a complete understanding of the excerpt.

Which word in this sentence is considered loaded
sleet_krkn [62]
A loaded word is a word that not only informs but also caries some emotion with it, such as condemning, exciting, praising. In the statement above the loaded word is "crushing" - it makes a qualitative statement about the defeat: it was a very definite defeat.
