I looked this question up and was able to find two answer options for it:
A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.
B. Douglass and Jacobs both escaped from slavery in the 1800's.
Answer:
The main idea of the passage is:
A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.
Explanation:
From the passage, we can safely infer that both Douglass and Jacobs escaped slavery in the 1800's taking into consideration the year they were born. However, that is not the focus of the paragraph. Notice how the author compares Douglass' and Jacobs' lives, focusing especially on the fact that they both wrote autobiographies and became supporters of the antislavery movement. This is the main idea of the passage: that Douglass and Jacobs become authors and that they described their own experience as slaves in their books.
This should be common sense. Considering this is Brainly though, the answer is A signaling indicating danger or the need for help
Siegfried Sasson illustrates the dramatic transformation most soldiers went through after experiencing World War 1. Englishmen like Sasson initially thought themselves as involved in a heroic effort to defend liberalism and the British a hellish and pointless nightmare. Intellectuals like Paul Valery were also disillusioned by the war, and many feared that the West and its liberal values would not long survive. In the essay below, he makes allusion to the scene in which Hamlet ponders mortality while studying the skull that is all that remains of a man he had known in life.
Answer: Hall knew that growing outrage among the American public would help Britain's cause.
Explanation: According the the excerpt, it says that "Hall reminded them", thus saying that Hall was not in favor of waiting before presenting the telegram.
Hall didn't want to wait until American outrage simmered down before revealing the contents of the telegram. No where in the excerpt does it hint this.
Hall wasn't worried that the Americans would lose interest in the contents of the telegram. The telegram contained information that would alert the Americans of a possible attack from Mexico.
Hall did disagree with the waiting, but the excerpt is hinting that Hall wanted to use the telegram to gain supporters for Britain against the Germans.
Cheers
(If I'm wrong, then the answer is that Hall disagreed with the British government's choice to wait before showing the telegraph to Wilson)
