A hypertext is a digital text in which one or more hyperlinks are embedded, a hyperlink is a word, picture, or graphic element in digital media that is connected through a mouse click to another location in a digital document or webpage. Borges uses allusions like a hypertext to further connect his ideas in the story, "Garden of Forking Paths" by implying their connections through time. An Allusion is a reference to other people and events whose images serve as a symbol of a broad concept or theme. The allusions become metaphors for the connections of people on Earth over generations. For example, on the train, a boy reads the Annals of the Roman historian and Senator Tacitus. The Annals provide us with a record of the history of the Roman Empire, but Tacitus never completed his work, and like the missing pages in the document, some of it did not survive over time.

Read this paragraph from History of Woman Suffrage, Volume I.

The correct answer is: Option C. To persuade readers that women deserve the right to vote.


The author begins their statement by introducing a man's point of view in a scenario where women are allowed to vote, and how that would alter their ego and social behaviour. This is done as a means to present a reason for men not to take a policy like that so lightly. The author then, with the final phrase "Let the majority rule", clearly invites the readers to have their voices heard about the matter, expecting these to be raised on favor of women.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Increasing the space mission efforts

Explanation:

United States President John F. Kennedy's Rice Stadium Moon speech (September 12, 1962) was exclusively to persuade  the American people to support the the efforts of space mission, and to land a man on the moon.

During the visit John Glen (who had already orbited the earth on February 20, 1962) was was also with the President, hence, the speech was certainly not about launching John Glen in the Atlas.
