Answer:

An allusion to conflict.

Explanation:

In this poem, the author talks about two events. First, he mentions Selma, which refers to the Selma to Montgomery March that took place in 1965. The second event refers to Saigon, which is a reference to the Vietnam War. These two names make a reference to conflict, which does not exist in Monet's 'Waterlilies.' However, the poem also conveys a sense of peace and comfort, a chaotic viewpoint and a sense of movement, all of which are present in Monet's painting.

Answer: The right answer is the second one: An allusion to conflict.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit more on the answer, it is relevant to mention that American poet Robert Hayden (1913-1980) was very concerned with the experiences and history of Black Americans, hence his reference to two major conflicts that directly affected that community: the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War, represented by the cities of Selma and Saigon, respectively. From the city of Selma, in Alabama, departed, in 1965, a series of protest marches organized with the goal of claiming the constitutional right of African Americans to vote. Those who participated in them were violently attacked, arrested and even killed. At the same time, and paradoxically, many African Americans had been sent to Vietnam in order to fight in the war and freed the South Vietnamese people, even though their own rights were not protected in their own country. For that reason, one of the major American Civil Rights Movement organization, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, became the first one in publicly showing opposition to the war, linking the two movements (anti-Vietnam war and Civil Rights Movement) inextricably.

It is for that reason that the speaker in Hayden’s poem resorts to Monet’s famous painting, which captures the serenity and the beauty of a little corner of his Japanese garden, in an attempt to escape, if only for a moment, from that violent reality.

In the beginning, Feldman left behind an open basket for the cash, but too often the money vanished. Then he tried a coffee can

lyudmila [28]

The correct answer is B: Most people are honest enough not to commit major theft. The reason why is because one i did th test but the explanation behind it is that he says in the excerpt that "From Feldman’s perspective, an office worker who eats a bagel without paying is committing a crime; the office worker probably doesn’t think so." in context hes saying that most people are honest and will say they took something small like a bagel, but at the same time they wouldn't think of a bank robbery or something.

That's how I see it, I hope i helped have a great day and good luck with class.

Smith thinks the privilege of congressional immunity is ironic because it?

Gemiola [76]

In line with Margaret Chase Smith's Declaration of Conscience (1950), the privilege of congressional immunity is described as an irony. Margaret posits that it is an irony that senators can in a debate, in the senate, impute to any American, who is not a senator, any legal action and having any legal redress against them but they can not do the same against any individual pertaining to the Senate. In other words, Senators found themselves with the power to verbally attack anyone without restraint and with full protection but ironically they are prevented from doing so among them. She describes this event as an abuse of individual power and privilege.

If you were a bee, what job would you choose and why? Support your answer with two reasons.

earnstyle [38]

A bee keeper. I would choose to be a bee keeper because the bee would already be familiar with the bees since it is around them often, second the bee would quickly become familiar with the habitat, since other bees are kept there.
