Why did Churchill replace Chamberlain as Britain's new prime minister shortly after World War II began?
Natasha2012 [34]

There should have been options to choose from for this question. I found the options elsewhere and the correct answer would be because Churchill had a better understanding of the situation with Hitler than Chamberlain did.

Churchill knew that diplomacy would not work with Hitler and the only way to reach a resolution was through military force and tactics.

Write a short paragraph explaining the principle of “don’t say or do anything online that you wouldn’t say or do face to face.”
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: If you wouldn't say it to there face don't say it online.

Explanation: When you say something to someone in person you are most likely to not say anything rude or be overly opinionated, you might fight or argue but when online people tend to say nasty stuff. For example let's say someone looks bad, in person you would probably just ignore it but online a person would say you look bad or clean yourself up. That would make someone feel bad about themself, or they would believe you. If you ignored it online they would feel better that your not beating them up for it. The concept is to only say online what you would say in person.

arlik [135]

Answer:

d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.

The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.

An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.

In paragraph 7, what rebuttal does the author make to the claim in paragraph 6 that America is too culturally diverse to have a
Eva8 [605]

This question is about "A quilt of a country".

Answer:

C. She supports the idea that every generation of immigrants arrives with the same dreams and faces the same problems of assimilation.

Explanation:

In paragraph 7, the author shows that even if cultural diversity prevents the country from reaching a national character, it brings all immigrants together in the same story and still achieves American glomorization about overcoming difficulties.

This is because all immigrants, including those who lived in the country in remote times, came with the same dreams and goals and had the same difficulties to establish themselves and readapt to the new environment. This unites them all in a single concept, thus being able to create a national character.
