The central idea was freedom. In her story, Philis convey the struggle that American people has to acchieve it and how she supported George's Washington effort to fight and obtain it. She simply talks about him being a symbol of a hero and that she's sure he was going to win the war. The tone of the letter seems to be earnest and heartwarming

If you were giving a speech on illiteracy in the United States, which of the following points would you discuss last?

Rainbow [258]

I would say D. because all of the others are basically answering the entirety of the speech. If you would discuss ways to increase the literacy rates in the U.S. you would need to go over it last after you explain why the U.S. is so illiterate.

In paragraph 4 of “Marigolds,” author Eugenia Collier uses the metaphor, “Poverty was the cage in which we all were trapped…” to

Alina [70]

When Collier uses the metaphor in paragraph 4, what she means is:

D. being poor limited their opportunities in life.

"Marigolds" is a short story by author Eugenia W. Collier (born in Baltimore in 1928). The narrator is Lizabeth, and the story is set during the Great Depression.
The fourth paragraph of the story provides a sad description of Lizabeth's reality growing up during the Depression. She talks about her poor neighborhood and how poverty was like a cage for them.
The narrator uses that metaphor to summarize what she said previously in the paragraph. Being poor meant not only being hungry, but also being culturally deprived.
She and the other children had no access to information, did not understand the reason of the extent of their poverty.
Without proper food, education, and opportunities, they were condemned to remain poor.
In conclusion, letter D is the best option to explain the metaphor, since poverty meant deprivation of opportunities for Lizabeth and the others.
