Answer: A) that people of African descent are no less human than white settlers and should be treated respectfully.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "The Selling of Joseph" we can see the description of Ethiopians as Sons and Daughters of the First Adam, this means that it doesn't matter what color of the skin they have, all humans must be equal in rights, so the Sewall's assertion in this excerpt is that people of African descent are no less human than white settlers and should be treated respectfully.

Explanation:

As per the question, in the given excerpt from "The Selling of Joseph" by Samuel Sewall, the author(Sewall's) assertion is that "African people are no less human and deserve equal respect and freedom' which is reflected by his descriptions like 'they are the sons and daughters of the First Adam', 'offspring of god' and when he says ''ought to be treated with respect agreeable".

Answer:

<u>At this moment, I am thinking about the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and I am making some important questions about it.</u>

Explanation:

At this moment, I am thinking about the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and I am making some important questions about it. The first question that comes to my mind is how much could the reconstruction cost?. It will reach several hundred million euros, according to experts. The second question I have is who will contribute the money for the reconstruction? According to what I read in the newspapers, there were already up to 750 million euros in donation commitments. My third question is how long could the repair work take? The forecasts on the restoration deadlines are very variable, the works will take between 10 and 20 years at least. And my final question is when will the cathedral be open to the public? Again, according to what I read this morning, the interior of the cathedral could be reopened to the public quickly, since it was desired by both the Mayor's Office and the archbishopric of Paris. However, first it must verify the solidity of the structure of the monument. Hopefully, the restoration will have a positive outcome after all the complex work that will be necessary to accomplish this goal.

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. How does the a

mr_godi [17]

In the story called, “The Monkey’s Paw,” the author, W.W Jacobs, uses foreshadowing to add suspense. When Mrs. White asks Sergeant Major if any one else made a wish he says, “Yes. I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death." The author also uses foreshadowing when Mrs. White jokes and says to wish for four arms Sergeant Major "with a look of alarm on his face," catches Mr. White's arm. 'If you must wish,' he said gruffly, 'wish for something sensible.'" Foreshadowing is also used when Sergeant Major is telling his feelings about the monkey’s paw. It states, “‘Pitch it on the fire again like a sensible man.’” Here he is warning Me. White of the consequences if he makes a wish. From this dialogue I readers can infer that something bad is going to happen.
