Answer:

  1. Nelson Mandela
  2. They achieved the political emancipation of the country.
  3. "pledge"
  4. The commitment is in the struggle for liberation from continuous slavery from poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination.
  5. The special moments were: the perseverance in Africa's prosperity and freedom and the guarantee that no land would prosper with the exploitation of Africa.

Explanation:

The above passage is part of Nelson Mandela's speech, when he was elected president of South Africa, after being a strong activist for the African cause. Mandela fought hard for the rights of Africans, the fight against racism and mainly for the political, social and civil freedom of the African peoples. He came to be arrested for his struggle, becoming a symbol of his people in perseverance and the pursuit of goals.

In his speech he celebrates the political freedom that Africa has achieved and establishes a commitment to make the African people prosper and get rid of any factor that impedes their growth.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin.
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A: Positive attitude toward Young's passion for learning.

Explanation:

Throughout the passage, Giblin speaks of Young's accomplishments with high praise (never in a negative way, like answers C & D suggest). B is also incorrect because Giblin does not <em>only</em> focus on Young's ability to learn new languages, he speaks of other things as well.

Therefore, option A is correct - Giblin shows a positive attitude toward Young's passion for learning.

Neko [114]

Answer:

(a.)The writers whom Barry Lopez mentioned in the first paragraph have in common is the kind of writing they do, recently referred to as <em>"nature or landscape writing".</em> It is a type of writing that takes into account the impact that nature and place have on culture.

(b). By mentioning a range of old and new writers, Barry Lopez tried to make a point that although people believed the type of nature writing is new, there have been several and widely known nature writers in the past in American Literature who have written about impact of nature and place on culture, or nature/landscape writing. He tried to emphasize that  the old names would readily come to mind before remembering the new writers on the block.

The two manors, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, symbolize various dichotomies that define the novel. Describe how the
svet-max [94.6K]
Wuthering Heights, a manor in the Yorkshire moors, is associated with all that is primeval, natural, passionate, and wild. The residents of this manor, the Earnshaws and Heathcliff, exhibit a similar ruggedness and wildness in their behavior. This manor, as Lockwood observes, looks more like the home of a northern farmer than that of a gentleman.

In contrast, Thrushcross Grange symbolizes the sophisticated, civilized world. The manor is opulent, manicured, and well maintained. Similarly, the Lintons represent the refined English gentry, who are conscious of their status and display proper social etiquette and behavior. We get a view of the residents of Thrushcross Grange from what Heathcliff tells Nelly in chapter 6:

The light came from thence; they had not put up the shutters, and the curtains were only half closed. Both of us were able to look in by standing on the basement, and clinging to the ledge, and we saw—ah! it was beautiful—a splendid place carpeted with crimson, and crimson-covered chairs and tables, and a pure white ceiling bordered by gold, a shower of glass-drops hanging in silver chains from the centre, and shimmering with little soft tapers. Old Mr. and Mrs. Linton were not there; Edgar and his sisters had it entirely to themselves.

Nelly’s comment in chapter 6 also conveys the civilized traits of the Lintons:

‘They are good children, no doubt, and don’t deserve the treatment you receive, for your bad conduct.’
