Answer: A. He believed that government was corrupt and that he was justified in not paying his taxes despite being put in prison.

Thoreau states in "Civil Disobedience" that people have the right and the duty to act according to their principles. Moreover, the government is supposed to be accountable to the population. He argues that the government has not been so, and therefore, he is justified in ending his obligations towards the government. He also argues that he cannot, in good conscience, contribute to acts that he believes immoral and that the government funds through his taxes. He refused to pay taxes, and even though he was imprisoned, his opinions remained unchanged.

Feliz [49]

1) the correct answer is B True love is inexplicable and boundless.

2) the correct answer is C “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where” (Line 9).

3) the correct answer is  A urgent and passionate.

4) At the beginning of the poem, he says why he does not love her. He doesn't love her as if she was a salt-rose, topaz, or carnation, but he loves her as if she was a plant that does not bloom. This means that he does not love her superficially, but he loves her deeply for who she is on the inside.

Flowers are beautiful things that everyone admires, but no one would admire a flower that doesn’t bloom because they could not see the beauty that it contains.

Read the subjects and determine whether each is too broad or sufficiently
elixir [45]

Answer and Explanation:

When choosing a subject to research and write about, we must be careful not to come up and stick to a topic that is too broad. If a topic is too broad, it allows for many subtopics to be derived from it, which means the research and the essay/speech will be all over the place. A narrower topic, on the other hand, will speak on a specific subject completely, without jumping from it to another. With that in mind, we can safely classify the following subjects in either "too broad" or "sufficiently narrowed" for a 500 to 800 word essay.

1. The Hawaiian Islands  - Too broad. What about them? Their size? Their culture? Their people? Tourism?

2. The process of voting by caucus in primary elections  - Sufficiently narrowed.

3. Lifestyle of women in rural Greece  - Sufficiently narrowed.

4. Vacations in South America  - Too broad. South America has several countries. Will we speak of each of them? Plus, what about the vacations? Their price? The best time to go? How long one should stay?

5. The health benefits of cottage cheese  - Sufficiently narrowed.

6. Breakfast foods - Too broad. What about them? Which ones are more delicious? Which ones are the healthiest?
