The correct answer is:

It was a blueprint for methods of nonviolent protest.

Explanation:

Thoreau wrote Civil Disobedience in 1849, during slavery issues and the Mexican-American war, the night after he was imprisoned in Concord, Massachusetts for refusing to pay his taxes.

In his essay he stated that the government was unfair, and that democracy only favored the majority. He also stated that people should follow their conscience first, and the laws later. Thoreau refused to pay his taxes as part of the Civil Disobedience, because the Mexican American war would lead to expansion of slavery, and Thoreau disagreed. This fact created an impact on Martin Luther King Jr, he expressed in his autobiography that Thoreau had inspired him because he was the pioneer of nonviolent methods to protest against the government.

<em>Martin Luther King Jr., also wrote his essay A letter from Birmingham jail, after being imprisoned for the protests in Birmingham, Alabama, and talked about nonviolent protests, and the frustration towards white moderators. This fact also shows Thoreau's influence over Martin Luther King Jr. </em>

jeka57 [31]
The pair of words that shares the same word root are inspect and spectacles.
Their root word, or the most basic part of the word, which remains when all prefixes and suffixes are removed, is the root word spect. This root word comes from the Latin word <em>spectare, </em>which means <em>to see. </em>This root word is common to these two words because both of them have to do with seeing things.

what circumstances led the viscount to reduce the rent in the apartment? from the accursed house by Emile gaboriau.​
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The French writer tells about the contradictions of this world. For example, if a person values his skills and wants to charge it properly, people usually complain and say that he overestimates himself; however, if a person gives a lower price for his services, people will have doubts in his work.

Explanation:

In this literary work, a person receives an inheritance from his grandson and as he is not greedy, he wants to rent a house for minimal price. He wants to win the hearts of people, but the only thing he did was to bring a bad reputation to the family. So, in this work, the contradictions of human nature can be related to everyday life.
