d fans, but also became the first Cowdrey lecturer to receive a standing ovation since Desmond Tutu in 2008". what does stock of superlatives mean in this sentence?
by the stock of superlatives the author means the group of people who were superlative or of high post or standard in the audience.

In literature, the turning point or climax is the point of highest tension in a narrative; it's the most exciting and revealing part of a story. It leads the rising action into the falling action before a story is resolved and reaches the conclusion.
One audience for the Declaration of Independence was the American colonists. He lists the goals of the new government, this will be a government that will safeguard the people's natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
