1 answer:

3 0

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.

Answer:

- re·con·nois·sance | ri-ˈkä-nə-zən(t)s \ noun

Explanation:

The dictionary entry which most aptly backs the meaning of the word 'reconnaissance' would be 're·con·nois·sance | ri-ˈkä-nə-zən(t)s \ noun' as it correctly describes the pronunciation of the word and its part of speech. The word stands for 'the act of scouting or exploring to gain information' and it is used as the element of the noun phrase 'storm reconnaissance missions' which is acting as the object in the sentence. Thus, this suggests that the these acts are pursued for gaining more information about the storms.

Based on the context of each quote from Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs, find the word that most clo

jeka94

Answer:

1) EVINCED - D: to show.

2) FORBORE - C: to refrain from.

3) EKING - A: to make a supply last by economy .

4) DISENCUMBER - B: to free from.

Explanation:

Harriet Ann Jacobs's autobiographical narrative "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" delves into the discriminatory system of slavery and how it affects the blacks, especially the women slaves. This autobiography deals with the issue of slavery and the need for everyone to try to refrain from practicing it. The book also contains her journey and efforts to try to get her freedom from being a slave.

The bolded words in each of the quotes can be closely matched accordingly-

1. Evinced means to show. Considering the sentence or quote, we can infer that the author has so much intelligence that led to her masters to keep her.

2. Forebore here means refused or concealed or refrain from mentioning. This quote means that when Uncle Philip came with the good news, he told mother everything except some of the details about Benjamin, "her darling" so as not to hurt her.

3. The word "eking" signifies an effort or act to make a supply last economically. This is evident when Harriet narrates how her mistress Mrs. Flint used to observe carefully how the provisions of the household were used. She mentions that she (Mrs. Flint) makes sure the slaves do not use up their provisions just to make themselves full. This shows a mean-spirited nature in most mistresses at those times.

4. Disencumber most closely signifies one's desire to be free from or released from something or someone. According to the quote, Harriet expressed her despise for her master who told her that "[she] was made for his use, made to obey his command in everything". So, this is her expression of wanting her master gets swallowed up by the earth.
