I beleive the answer is the fist one
Correct answer (as you noted): B. Citizens must be allowed to overthrow a government that does not protect rights.
Explanation/details:
In writing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson drew from the ideas of 17th century philosopher John Locke. Locke favored the idea of a "social contract." According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.
Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his<em> First Treatise on Civil Government</em>. In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>, Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property. Locke argued that the people always remain in charge, and asserted that the people have the power to change their government and remove government leaders if the government is not properly serving the needs and well-being of the people. The Declaration of Independence applied these ideas specifically to the situation between the American colonists and government by Britain that was not properly serving their needs.
After the opening section of the Declaration of Independence (from which your question quoted), Jefferson went on to provide a list of "facts to be submitted to a candid world." He listed grievances of the colonists which demonstrated that the British king had been seeking to establish "an absolute Tyranny over these States" (the colonial states which were declaring their independence). Because tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy, the colonists believed they were justified in establishing their independence from Britain.
Answer:
This is part of a radio speech delivered by President Roosevelt in December 1940 (this was the second year in WWII, and the US was still neutral in the conflict).
He aimed to convince the audience about the necessity of ensuring a safe defense strategy for Great Britain, so that they were able to avoid the German invasion and resist the many attacks they were suffering.
Apart from the ideological fight against nazism, Roosevelt highlighted how if GB fell, the last territory in the Atlantic, before reaching the US, would have been conquered. That would pose a direct threat on the US. Therefore, he supported the idea that GB should remain free at any cost.
Explanation:
The correct answer is B) We had mile-high ice cream cones for dessert.
The sentence that is an example of hyperbole is "We had mile-high ice cream cones for dessert."
A hyperbole is an exaggerated sentence or expression, hard to believe. It is a literary figure that has not to be understood literally. What the hyperbole does in a text is to exaggerate something for the reader to pay attention to or emphasize something. In the case, it is not true that the ice cream was "mile-high," but the author wanted to share the idea that the ice creams were so big.
