Answer:

B.

Explanation:

President Abraham Lincoln delivered a speech at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863 during American Civil war. The speech was delivered at the dedication ceremony of National Cemetery of Gettysburg. Many soldiers were killed during this war from both the sides in the Battle of Gettysburg.

So, in the honor of these martyred soldiers, President Lincoln delivered this speech.

The speech contained less than 275 words, and Lincoln took only few minutes to deliver this speech. But even in this few minutes, he left a remarkable impact to his audience. The speech spoke about the principles of human equality mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Mallam Sile is a blind tea seller, he is gentle, and people usually take advantage of him and his blindness, but he doesn't really react to that. He finds a wife who is not afraid to punish his bullies, and thus return everything that was stolen from him.

Mallam Sile was constantly mocked by the 'rascals' in his tea shop, to the point where any person would be justified in quitting or acting out in an upset way. However, Sile never gave up trying to talk to the women and trying to keep a positive outlook on life. When asked when he would give up on the people, he would explain that he already had, but he would never give up on himself.

Should everyone speak english? Rough draft 100 words
charle [14.2K]
Short answer: No.

Long answer: 

We shouldn't force everyone to speak english, because while it is easier for people to communicate if they all speak the same language, there will still be some problems. Language allows us to have another way to differentiate between people groups, and is a part of the culture of each people group. Language in itself, because of it's diversity, can show what each culture believes in, what the set rules are, as well as how they interact, and using language, what they can build. Language also serves as a diversify of production of items. If everybody spoke the same language, while there will be technology advancement, we will not be able to see how different groups (language groups specifically) handle the same problems. While it is good to be at least bilingual, i believe that not everyone should speak english.

irga5000 [103]

The author is trying to convey that in recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased. He began his point in the first sentence of the excerpt: “Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments.” Then, he further emphasizes his point in the sentence: “As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more.” Which is immediately followed by another sentence that supports his argument: “In the world as a whole, extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man.

Answer:

Comma Splice

Explanation:

Comma splice can also be known as comma fault.

COMMAN SPLICE can be defined as the use of a comma to join two clauses that are independent which is why comma splice is a common grammatical error in English because two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma in order to make one sentence which is why to avoid comma splices, we need to be able to identify an independent clause.

Therefore comma splice is sometimes used in literary writing in order to help convey a particular mood of informality.

In order word COMMAN SPLICE can be seen as the way in which comma is use to join two complete sentences without placing an appropriate joining word between them.
