C.. death, desolation, and tyranny
My brother cut the grass on Saturday.
It is a simple sentence since it contains a subject (<em>My brother</em>) and a verb (<em>cut)</em>. It also has a direct object (<em>the grass</em>) and a prepositional phrase of time (<em>on Saturday</em>). It is important to state that a sentence must have a complete idea and stands on its own. That's why this type of sentence is called independent clause.
1. Inclined
Inclined means to be favorable towards something. In this sentence Jacob is not inclined or not in favor of switching spots with anyone else in the car.
2. incisive
Incisive means cutting (think incision like in surgery). In this case the word biting is the context clue that tells us incisive, or cutting, would be the best fit.
Answer:
Yes, Lincoln's death affected Douglass.
Explanation:
Both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass wanted to abolish slavery. They both were fighting a common fight which had divided the nation.
Douglass always looked up to Lincoln and his ways. They both even spoke about abolishing slavery from the nation completely. So, after Lincoln's death, Douglass had lost a friend. Still he carried out Lincoln's work speaking against social injustice and racial discrimination. He demanded equal rights for African Americans.
Thus, Lincoln's death was also a calamity for the nation as African-Americans had lost a leader who led them fighting for their rights and justice.
