The correct option is C. While some people support harsher punishment for juvenile offenders, research and personal stories show how rehabilitation can benefit young people.

Explanation:

This article, on the whole, tries to discuss the facts related to the punishments and rehabilitation of juvenile criminals. The writer discusses that scientific research has shown that juvenile criminals are more subjected to change and rehabilitate if they are guided properly. On the other hand, he also discusses that many people do not support this idea as it is not fair to the adult criminals and they think that all criminals should be punished equally.

Which line in this excerpt from Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall” suggests that the speaker and his neighbor are quite different?

Lapatulllka [165]

I'd say 1. I think that it refers to his neighbor and himself being completely different. Pine and apple are very different, although I'm fairly certain you've already come to that conclusion by now. Sorry I didn't see it earlier

Answer:

The answer is other people have created.

Explanation:

Basically what we need to eliminate from this passage is a phrase that does not give us any specific and precise information.

contemporary historian - gives us information about his profession and specifies the part of the history he`s the most competent for.

historical expertise - gives us information about the kind of work he has published

other people have created - this phrase does not give us any information about who these people are, what is their profession or what is their expert level; it is mostly imprecise and unspecific

monotonous historical essays - again we have the information about the type of the paper published and its theme

In sentence #3, “within” and “without”, enchanted and repelled are opposites.

In sentence #7, Conduct is compared to foundation or base

8. Imagery is used to create a mental picture or visual representation of objects, ideas or actions.

In sentence #8, The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher creates a visual and audio imagery.
