Poems are more often ambiguous than other works because they typically work on a figurative and a literal level. The first option is correct.

Figurative language employs figures of speech to be more effective, persuasive, and impactful. Figures of speech include metaphors, similes, and allusions which provide readers new insights different from the ones conveyed with literal language.

Ganezh [65]
The phrase from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a Dream" speech that contains the strongest emotional connotations is
"seared in the flames of withering injustice".
You can see that the author uses the strongest language to convey such powerful emotions.

Which statement best describes an effective counterclaim to the claim in this passage? Because Dred Scott's parents were born ou
lara [203]

Answer:

Because Dred Scott and his family were born in the United States, they are citizens with all the rights granted by the Constitution.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this is the passage that the question refers to:

<em>"It will be observed, that the plea applies to that class of persons only whose ancestors were negroes of the African race, and imported into this country, and sold and held as slaves. The only matter in issue before the court, therefore, is, whether the descendants of such slaves, when they shall be emancipated, or who are born of parents who had become free before their birth, are citizens of a State, in the sense in which the word "citizen” is used in the Constitution of the United States. . . . . . . The question before us is, whether the class of persons described in the plea in abatement compose a portion of this people, and are constituent members of this sovereignty? We think they are not, and that they are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States."</em>

In this passage, the opinion of the author is that Dred Scott cannot be considered an American citizen because he is the descendant of slaves. The author argues that slaves were not considered as "citizens" when the Constitution was written, and therefore, their children cannot be citizens either. However, a counterclaim to this statement would be the argument that Dred Scott and his family should be considered citizens because they were born in the United States, and therefore, deserve all the rights that citizenship grants them.

WHO CAN HELP WITH THIS FREAKING 2 QUESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!! will give BRAINLIEST answer only if you know!!!
REY [17]

Marley was thrilled.

The description of Marley before this shows him leaping, spinning, running and pouncing. All of these are very energetic actions that show he is not just slightly happy. The speaker is using an understatement "Marley was a little excited" to emphasis how actually thrilled Marley was to play ball.

They imply that Myra is uncomfortably hot.

In the passage, the setting is described as noon on a sunny day in August. From this description we can infer that it is hot out. When Myra says, "This sun is cooking me," we can infer that she is in the hot sun and can feel the heat as though she is being cooked. She does not indicate that she is in pain or that she is unhappy.  It simply means that she is hot.
