"American paleontology got a bad reputation from Cope and Marsh's cutthroat behavior", states J. R. Hill in the article The Bone Wars and it is true because they were worried about fame and who was a better paleontologist and did not worried about science.

In the text this shows when it says:

"The mistakes they made in the rush for glory slowed the progress of paleontology for many years".

"In addition to sabotaje, Cope and Marsh forced their teams to dig up and transport bones quickly. Such speed damaged many specimens, but each man wanted the credit of making the first discoveries of new species".

Answer:

The rash and cutthroat behavior of the two paleontologists Edward Cope and Othniel marsh gave a bad reputation to the American Paleontology. This is evident in their notorious attempts to sabotage each other's work, criticizing whatever work is produced by the other, even assaulting each other through open letters in newspapers.

Explanation:

J. R Hill's article "The Bone Wars" details the infamous war between two American paleontologists Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope. The extent of their enmity was such that they even had to write open letters to each other in the newspaper. First starting as friends in the common aim of discovering new fossil and ancient creatures, the betrayal by Marsh led to this long lasting feud. This eventually gave a bad reputation to American paleontology, evidenced by these two quotes-

<em>"The mistakes they made in their rush for glory slowed the progress of paleontology for many years"</em>

<em>"In addition to sabotage, Cope and Marsh forced their teams to dig up and transport bones quickly. Such speed damaged many specimens ...."</em>

nydimaria [60]

Burlesque humor is a literary device which is used to cause laughter. This could be done in many ways: by caricaturing the serious topic or just treating the subjects ridiculously. In English, it has been used since 17th century. Early successful users of burlesque include Shakespeare, Cervantes and Chaucer.  

One example of burlesque in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Huck's attempt to rescue Jim after learning that he has been sold. The lines "All right then, I'll go to Hell to rescue Jim out of slavery" mention this event. The plan to save Jim is described in a literary manner which is known as burlesque. Tom's thoughts on escaping Jim and the humor alongside with it is a notable example.

With which statement would Susan B. Anthony most likely agree?
Blababa [14]

Susan B. Anthony was arrested and tied in 1872 for voting in the presidential election. After which she delivered the speech on "Woman's Rights to the Suffrage" in 1873. In her speech, she justifies that she had not done any crime by voting as it is her citizen right. Also, in her speech, she represents the rights of women in voting. Women in 1800 had few rights that they could practice. Through her tone of persuasiveness and serious, she states "Every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several States is today null and void, precisely as in every one against Negroes." Its because of her that today women have freedom.

“Are women persons? Being persons, then, women are citizens, and no State has a right to make any new law, or to enforce any old law, which shall abridge their privileges or immunities.", The question was repeated throughout her speech. Such use of diction and language asserted her point of view and reflected upon her higher education and that she is no different from men. Also, emphasizing the point why does not women have the right to vote as men?

"Nor shall any State deprive any person of life liberty, or property without due process of law, or deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Another citizen right used by her, which asserted her point as a fact and not the opinion of her own. Relating to such facts without emotional attachments made the citizen believe in her and made her speech effective to reach the small number of groups.

Therefore, statement with which Susan B. Anthony most likely agree with is D.  By voting in an election, a woman has done nothing illegal or wrong.
