Answer:

D. She knowingly disobeyed an unjust law.

Explanation:

In "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau argues that a moral person is obliged to follow his principles and values. This is necessary for everyone, regardless of the commandments that other people give him. Therefore, if a person has a belief that opposes the law, he should follow his values, and not the law, because the law is unjust. This is similar to the situation Rosa Parks saw herself in. She knew that it was unjust for buses to be segregated, and even though this was the law, she decided to follow her principles and act against it.

Which term most clearly describes a medium? rhetoric magazine hoax or stance
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Magazine

Explanation:

I'm assuming the question has to do with The term that most clearly describes a medium of communication.

With that in mind, the correct answer is <u>magazine</u> because it a written medium of communication where texts, pictures and articles are written down to pass information to the reader about something.

The other options, rhetoric, hoax and stance are in no way directly related to an effective medium of communication.

Which of the following settings best create fear or anxiety? Falling snow Sunrise Open fields Decaying trees
Lerok [7]
A sunrise most definitely cannot be associated with either of those things, the sun is most often symbolic of something good or happy. Falling snow also does not create a sense of fear or anxiety, when thinking of snow I think of peace and quiet, serenity. Some might even feel happy or joywhen thinking about snow because it is most often associated with Christmas. I also think that an open field does not stir feelings of fear, that is unless you give details or descriptions to make it scary. I would say a setting with decaying trees best creates fear and anxiety. The word decay literally means " the state or process of rotting or decomposition". It is associated with death, and death is most often viewed as frightening and mysterious. Hope this helps .
