Marcy is running for student body president. Which sentence in this excerpt from her campaign speech uses parallel structure? Hi

, I’m Marcy! Many of you know me from your ninth grade classes. I’m running for student body president because I know I can make a positive difference for you, my fellow students, and for the school. I think I will make a good president because I am honest, trustworthy, and I’m behaving responsibly. I will set a good example for the school. I have many plans for the student council, such as making the council more organized, to ensure everyone has a voice, and I’ll be managing meetings more efficiently. I will take your suggestions into consideration and try to implement as many as possible. I will convince the school board to install vending machines with healthier snacks in the school cafeteria and ensuring that they review the cafeteria lunch menu to include healthier meal options. A healthy student body is a happy student body! I also plan to organize more school dances and give my fellow students more opportunities to interact socially.

Four sentences in this excerpt in which Marcy uses parallel structure are: 

<span>"I think I will make a good president because I am honest, trustworthy, and I'm behaving responsibly"

</span><span>"I will set a good example for the school."
</span>
<span>"I will take your suggestions into consideration and try to implement as many as possible."

"I will convince the school board to install vending machines with healthier snacks in the school cafeteria and ensuring that they review the cafeteria lunch menu to include healthier meal options."
</span>
A parallel structure is when you write a sentence using the same exact pattern of words to make the audience aware that you mean what you are saying. For instance, in Martin Luther King's speech "I Have A Dream," he uses parallel structure in it to show that he's done with racial segregation that was occurring around that time:

<span>"Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."
</span>
As you see here, Martin Luther King Jr. was using parallel structure here, and so was Marcy during her campaign speech. Hopefully, this helps.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. “Hey, kid, how old are you?” The man interrogating me was an inmate. I could not
qaws [65]

I think there are two ptions that show internal conflict:

1) He considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he´s not fifteen.

In this case he doesn't know the inmmate and doesn't know the exact reason hes telling him to lie. One reason is because he wants to help him, that information would save his life from the SS. The other option is that the inmmate is selfish and by telling him to lie, the kid will be punished instead of him. The kid must decide then if he trusts him or not.

2) He must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age.

In this case he has even more doubts, he knows Mengeles reputation and he doesn't know how much information does he have and how will it affect him. If he lies he might know it and punish him or that lie could save him.

The conflict is real because his life could depend on the decissions he makes.

Which is the correct way to rewrite this phrase? my class’s garden my class’ garden my classes’ garden my classes garden
Serggg [28]
class's = owned by one class.
classes's = owned by multiple classes. (usually shortened to classes')


You can't shorter class's so class', however. Here's why:
<em>You can only shorten it when it's a plural noun that ends in an s or when it's a proper noun (names, places) that ends in an s.
</em><em>
</em>So unless there's more than one class, it's class's.<em>

Dyess’s book was published when the war was still being fought. Beck and Burgos were interviewed in the 1990s, five decades afte
xenn [34]
Dyess’ account of the Bataan Death March was similar to Burgos’ and Beck’s accounts in the way they described the treatment of prisoners of war. The differences lie in their perspective of the Death March, and the timing of their interviews. Dyess was able to provide more detail as the events were more recent when he was interviewed. Their perspectives differ in that Dyess and Beck had the outsider’s point of view, while Burgos had the local’s point of view.

Read these lines from "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and answer the question.
harkovskaia [24]
I'm kind of confused as to what is being asked.... but this is my best answer.
SOCIAL Prejudice, (maybe legal if we talk about the consequence to his actions)

why it cant be the others--->
racial ---- they say nothing about race here.
(MAYBE) legal----- from the passage, we can say that the guy is richhhhh, and he might be able to wave off the consequences of his murder. but then again you only analyze this passage so, probably not
environmental---- they don't mention the environment....

THE REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE SOCIAL- their social standings in this situation 
-diamond ring (if thats what they mean by diamond ring finger, it could mean something else as well) only the rich can afford, a cane too
- hotel society gathering... (rich)
-poor Hattie Carroll could be literal as well.
