The answers to "which claims against slavery are used in the speech"
Enslaved people hold productive occupations that help society
Celebrating independence is hypocritical in light of the continuing bondage of slavery
Enslaved people, like all people, are moral, intellectual, and responsible beings
The correct answer is B) The first excerpt uses facts and statistics and the second excerpt is told as a story.
We can clearly appreciate how despite both excerpts have the same theme they relay the information in different ways. The first excerpt is clearly an article about Kids from Honduras who were leaving their country due to violence and the author uses statistics to prove his/her point whereas the second one is an excerpt from 'Entrique's Journey' that's related to the refugee situation..
Explanation:
1. Adjective that is best describing the atmosphere in this passage is ''never-ending''. It is showing the readers how the people are feeling about their situation which is also causing a never-ending night. The night was growing longer because of their numb minds and they were questioning themselves when they will die.
2. ''Our minds numb with indifference.'' is the excerpt from the passage that is revealing the atmosphere because the people in the story are indifferent. They are not afraid of death anymore because they know that they will die sooner or later. They are only questioning themselves when will that happen but they are also knowing that it does not matter when. They don't feel any emotions because they had surrendered.
3. This numb atmosphere of the story is showing us the meaning of it. People had found themselves in cold place and they stick together in order to survive the coldness. Their heads are heavy and they are remembering things. The author is showing that in those difficult situation people get indifferent and they can stop worrying about life. At the end of the passage, we can see that their thoughts are not good because they are making the situation even harder for them and causing never-ending night. The more they think, the more night is growing.
In this excerpt from Ernest Shackleton’s memoir South!, the word which could best replace the word irradiated is permeated.
<em>Irradiated</em> refers to something which illuminates or something which enlightens spiritually and intellectually.
On the other hand, <em>permeated </em>refers to pervade or pass into every part of something.
Hence, in the above sentence permeated effectively replaced the word irradiated as the happiness passed into every part of their thirst, and weakness through the glimpse of the black cliffs of south Georgia.
