2 answers:

6 0

The correct answer is C. The race riots give real context to the narrator's opinion on race. Balwin dies right before the race riots begin. His father had always believed in racism and that black people were to tread carefully around white people. Balwin had different ideas, but through his life also learned that racism was a real thing, but remained confused wishing his father could help him find the answers to his questions.. The race riots gave context to the changing and evolving ideas of Baldwin.

Commonlit: Advice to the newly married lady

enyata [817]

Answer and Explanation:

"Advice to the Newly Married Lady" was written by Samuel K. Jennings (1771–1854). He offers pieces of advice to women as to help them secure happiness in their marriages. According to Jennings, while a man has other sources of happiness and fun, a woman only has her house and husband to look forward to, which is why she should make great effort to please her man:

His engagements as a man, will necessarily keep up his attention. He will have frequent occasion to mix with agreeable and interesting company. [...] He of course will have an asylum, should home become tiresome or disagreeable. But your house is your only refuge, your husband your only companion. Should he abandon you, solitude, anxiety and tears, must be your unhappy lot.

Jennings goes on to say the woman should be completely submissive and obedient to her husband. She should try her best to stay on his good side, for he is superior by nature. She must also learn what his personality is like in order to know how to better behave in order to make him happy:

1. As it is your great wish and interest to enjoy much of your husband’s company and conversation, it will be important to acquaint yourself with his temper, his inclination, and his manner, that you may render your house, your person and your disposition quite agreeable to him. [...]

2. [...] Again, nature has made man the stronger, the consent of mankind has given him superiority over his wife, his inclination is, to claim his natural and acquired rights…

3. In obedience then to this precept of the gospel [“Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord”], to the laws of custom and of nature, you ought to cultivate a cheerful and happy submission.

Help me find the right aswer of gaps 2 and 5:

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

2. unattractive

5. However

Explanation:

In sentence number 2, the correct answer would be unattractive, as we can notice the shop windows discourage shoppers because of their emptiness. Bustling means full of activity, impressive means special, important or really large, so those options cannot be considered as a correct answer. Option A could be the correct answer, but unattractive fits better at the context then frequent.

In sentence number 5, the correct answer would be however. Because introduces causes and reasons, by introducing a subordinate clause, which needs a main clause to make it complete. Therefore, it cannot be considered a correct answer. Although means in spite of something and it can be used at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence, but it doesn't have a comma afterward and it cannot be considered as a correct answer.

We use otherwise to introduce a thought or an idea that contains an opposite claim or statement and to express our disagreement. It connects two clauses where the second clause (which contains otherwise) express what would have happened if the action in a first sentence hadn't occurred. Therefore, the correct answer is however. We use however to introduce a statement that expresses contrast with the previous sentence.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

The last graph in the option represents the overall equation of this scenario (it is option D if the last graph shown is the fourth option).

Explanation:

A manufacturing machine has two processes.

First let's represent the time of the two processes with variables:

The time of 1st process = a

The time of 2nd process = b

Since 1st process is repeated 4 times = 4×a = 4a

Also 2nd process is repeated only once = 1×b = b

Then we would represent the equation of the entire process

The entire cycle is said not to take longer than 3 minutes, meaning it less than or equal to 3 = ≤3

The equation of the entire process gives an inequality:

4a+b ≤ 3

Next, we would derive values for a to get b and vice versa in order to plot the graph using the equation: 4a+b = 3

For a = 0

4(0) +b= 3

b = 3

(a,b) = (0,3)

For b = 0

4a + 0 = 3

a= 3/4 = 0.75

(a,b) = (0.75, 0)

Let (a,b) represent (x,y) on the graph

Plotting the graph with coordinates (a,b) = (x,y) : (0,3), (0.75, 0); we get a line going downward passing, through 3 on y axis and 0.75 on x axis. The shaded portion represent the inequality: 4a+b ≤ 3

The last graph in the option represents the overall equation of this scenario (it is option D if the last graph shown is the fourth option).
