Answer: B. Stupidity

Explanation:

The question relates to the work of Friedrich Nietzche in his essay, "Morality as Anti-Nature".

In this essay he makes his disapproval of morality taught by Religion known as he posits that the fundamental thing wrong with morality is it's ties to Religion.

In paragraph 12, he speaks to how the Priest, a representation of the leadership of the church, has through his holy WITLESSNESS, has failed to be understanding and compassionate and as a result, they that are have found a way to utilize it ij their favor.

This infers that the Priest has been stupid to behave in the manner described meaning therefore that Witlessness here speaks to Stupidity.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech "Solitude of Self" conveys that it is important for women to
Sonbull [250]

Answer: The education that will fit her to discharge the duties in the largest sphere of human usefulness will best fit her for whatever special work she may be compelled to do.

In this excerpt, Elizabeth Cady Stanton complains of the fact that women's education is determined by her relationships to other people as mothers, sisters, daughters and wives. This is true even when women do not fulfill these roles (for example, unmarried or childless women). This is different from the education of men, which is pursued by considering him an individual in his own right. She argues that, whatever work women decided to perform, their being educated would allow them to perform them in a much better way than if they were ignorant.

1: How does the narrator affect the story?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

One of the main themes in this story is gratitude. The narrator is indebted to her mother for her life. She is grateful that her mother (Anna) has even made her life possible. This is why the narrator says "I owe her my existence three times." First, Anna saved her own life during a trapeze accident. Although Anna lost her first baby in childbirth following this accident, saving her own life allowed her to live on and eventually give birth to the narrator. The narrator is thankful a second time because Anna met her second husband during her hospital stay.  

The "leap," first of all, refers to the actual leap the narrator's mother makes in saving her life during the house fire. This is the third time the narrator owes Anna her existence. To repay her mother for giving her life and/or saving her life, the narrator returns to take care of Anna. Anna's husband (narrator's father) has died and Anna has become blind. Anna loved to read. The narrator pledges to care for her mother and to read to her as much as needed. In this statement, one can see her dedication and gratitude towards her mother.  

Since my father's recent death, there is no one to read to her, which is why I returned, in fact, from my failed life where the land is flat. I came home to read to my mother, to read out loud, read long into the dark if I must, to read all night.  

The narrator makes her own "leap" in the sense that she goes back to care for Anna. The symbolic notion of the "leap" is about creating an intimate connection

Read the following reason that has been given to justify slavery and answer the question.
professor190 [17]

Answer: We are not initially responsible for the capture of slaves taken as a result of war.

The first statement disputes the claim because it argues that captives from wars might still be taken in an unjust way. The third statement similarly disputes the claim by arguing that not all captives are victims of combat, but some were kidnapped despite their peaceful existence. Finally, the last statement argues that even if captives were taken lawfully in those wars, it would still be a great kindness to help them.

The second statement, on the other hand, supports the claim. It argues that the capture of slaves is not our responsibility, as they have been lawfully taken during war.
