The speaker envisions a time when everyone will receive equal amounts of work and leisure.

 For the responder, Countee Cullen’s “From the Dark Tower” excerpted text describes the statement closely to “the speaker envisions a time when everyone will receive equal amounts of work and leisure”. Since the author speaks figuratively of inequality between amount of workload and leisure, he sought for an upbringing, a revolutionary vision that everyone should receive an equal distribution concerning income and not all the work should be done by the less fortunate people but all should have their own fair share of undertakings to face.

olasank [31]
A. Churchill in this response uses strong pathos to appeal to the listener's fear of Germany. He uses strong emotional words like "crafty" "treacheries" "dirty tricks" to show that the Germans are dangerous and to make the listener even more afraid than they were before. He uses this in order to get the listeners to fully support the English efforts.

Cathy just bought a hang glider. Which of these could have been an internal factor that influenced Cathy's decision?

A. Cathy just loves the way hang gliders float through the air.

B. Everyone else who lives on Cathy's block has a hang glider.

C. Cathy recently read an article in a magazine about hang gliders.

D. Cathy just saw a movie in which the star flew with a hang glider

Internal factors are things such as needs, motives, and perceptions, while external factors include things such as family, friends, or social media. Options B, C, and D are external factors because the decision to buy would be based on the people on her block, a magazine article, or a movie. Only option A is based on Cathy's own perception.
