Which of these excerpts follows the format of a persuasive essay? I’ve Been to the Mountaintop by Martin Luther King Jr (excerpt

) It means that we've got to stay together. We've got to stay together and maintain unity. You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whenever the slaves get together, something happens in Pharaoh's court, and he cannot hold the slaves in slavery. When the slaves get together, that's the beginning of getting out of slavery. Now let us maintain unity. Farewell Address to Congress by General Douglas MacArthur (excerpt) Let civilian voices argue the merits or demerits of our processes of government; whether our strength is being sapped by deficit financing, indulged in too long, by federal paternalism grown too mighty, by power groups grown too arrogant, by politics grown too corrupt, by crime grown too rampant, by morals grown too low, by taxes grown too high, by extremists grown too violent; whether our personal liberties are as thorough and complete as they should be. These great national problems are not for your professional participation or military solution. Your guidepost stands out like a ten-fold beacon in the night: Duty, Honor, Country. Taming the Bicycle by Mark Twain (excerpt) The self-taught man seldom knows anything accurately, and he does not know a tenth as much as he could have known if he had worked under teachers; and, besides, he brags, and is the means of fooling other thoughtless people into going and doing as he himself has done. There are those who imagine that the unlucky accidents of life—life's "experiences"—are in some way useful to us.

I’ve Been to the Mountaintop  

by Martin Luther King Jr (excerpt)

"It means that we've got to stay together. We've got to stay together and maintain unity. You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "T<span>here are no excerpts shown or presented but the story is all about staying true to one’s cultural heritage and the adopting new practices in a foreign land.

Which sample fairly represents the population? Select two options.
Ad libitum [116K]

Option 1:

Measuring the heights of every fiftieth person on the school roster to determine the average heights of the boys in the school

Comment: this might not be a good idea for fairness as we only wish to determine average height of the boys. Taking a group of 50 people randomly, might not give us the same number of boys every time.

Option 2: 

Calling every third person on the soccer team’s roster to determine how many of the team members have completed their fundraising assignment 

Comment: The context doesn't seem to need a sampling. The number of players in a soccer team is considerably small. We can find exact data by asking in person.

Option 3:

Observing every person walking down Main Street at 5 p.m. one evening to determine the percentage of people who wear glasses

Comment: To get a more accurate result and fairer sampling, the period of observing could have been longer, for example, observing for 12 hours on that day, or an alternative is to observe at 5 pm for 7 days in a row. It could happen that no one walking down the Main street precisely at 5 pm wears glasses, or it could happen the other way around.

Option 4: 

Sending a confidential e-mail survey to every one-hundredth parent in the school district to determine the overall satisfaction of the residents of the town taking a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave campus during lunch.

Comment: This sampling does fairly represent the population, although it might be an idea to scale down the sample population, i.e. every fiftieth parent. 

Answer: Option 4
