Answer:

“Never having seen him, my mother could not know the portrait was heavily retouched.”

Explanation:

The excerpt presented is clear proof that the text is an illustration of totalitarianism and the effects of its propaganda. The specific case of this text is the totalitarianism of Rafael Trujillo, the dictator that ruled with the Dominican Republic, and his propaganda about his system and his own self. The sentence above is a clear indication of the false claims and ornaments of totalitarian regimes that are used to attract the people. The mother's illusion about the dictator being handsome comes from the fact that the only thing she had seen of him was a painting that was adjusted to look Trujillo as a handsome young man, without being so.

1) Each state should enact a law that makes wearing seat belts mandatory for all passengers and drivers in cars and trucks. (2)
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

(4) Some people believe that the government does not have the right to force people to be safe, and that these laws are unfair.

Explanation:

Counter argument is a statement which opposes writer's main argument for any purpose. However when a writer opposes one's own argument, it is usually for the purpose of including all point of views and aspects of the problem. In most of such cases the author negates (presents counter of counter argument) to finally establish one's original argument.

In this passage, the author is trying to establish the importance of making seat belts mandatory by law in each state of the United States. However in line 4, he presents some other people's point of view on this issue. And in line 5, restates his/her original argument. The overall effect, the author is trying to bring about in the audience by including the counter argument is that, he/she has already considered the counter argument as well.

Which elements keep you most interested in a fictional book? Check any that apply.
Kazeer [188]
Well, it depends on the genre of that non-fictional book. For instance, a mystery book would make the audience interested if there was an unsolved mystery included, but an adventure book, for instance, might hook the reader if it was actually based on historical events and something like the book described had actually happened. Therefore, for a fictional book, I would say all of these interest me depending on the type of book.

Which textual evidence develops the viewpoint that a wedding is an important ceremony in a young woman’s life?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The correct answer would be D.) The speaker's insistence that the maidens "Hasten away" and abandon their "pitchers" to gather the leaves of the henna-tree creates urgency and emphasizes the significance of the wedding.

Explanation: D is the correct answer as "Hasten away" proves of urgency  where as how they "abandon their pitchers" makes it seem that the wedding is more important then whatever they are doing.
