English

steposvetlana [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The lectures were addressed to individuals who could see to highlight and create awareness on the discrimination and withholding of privileges to the blind.

Explanation:

Written by Kate M. Foley, the book, Five Lectures on Blindness was meant to be read at the summer session of the University of California in 1918. The author who was blind herself but was mentally intelligent and smart had been denied jobs due to her disability. She wrote this book to draw the attention of the public to the discrimination being meted out to blind people.

For example, she talked about a very smart lawyer who when he became blind, was now pitied by his colleagues and would not be offered jobs by clients. She appealed to people with sight to show more empathy to the blind and allow them to do work that they were qualified for.

Galina-37 [17]

Hey there!

(2/9)^3

= 2/9 • 2/9 • 2/9

= 2 • 2 • 2 / 9 • 9 • 9

2 • 2 • 2 = 2^3

4 • 2

= 8

9 • 9 • 9 = 9^3

81 • 9

= 729

➡️ 2^3/9^3 = 8/729

Answer: 2^3/9^3 OR 8/729

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Which detail uses sensory words to describe Akela? Father Wolf waited till his cubs could run a little, and then on the night of
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The detail that uses sensory words to describe Akela is:

C. out at full length on his rock.

Explanation:

Sensory words are words or phrases that appeal to one of more of our five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Having that in mind, we can use elimination to answer this question:

A. a hilltop covered with stones and boulders - may appeal to sight, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.

B. who led all the Pack by strength and cunning - does refer to Akela, but does not appeal to any of the five senses. The words "strength" and "cunning" demand a different kind of interpretation from readers. This option is incorrect.

C. out at full length on his rock - this is the correct option. We can imagine Akela lying down on the rock; we can even see the position of his body because of this description. Imagine your dog or cat, for instance, lying down on the floor, with his/her belly's whole extension touching the floor.

D. from badger-coloured veterans - again, does appeal to the senses, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.
