The correct answer is “They give the sense that nature has taken over a once-urban area”. Taken from the short story “<em>By the Waters of Babylon</em>” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1937), the passage presented above narrates the moment when John, the son of a priest, visits <u>the Place of the Gods</u>. The Place of the Gods or The Dead Place was a great city that was destroyed by a great burning and it was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. Since the passage describes this desolate place, the writer used a suspense tone in the narration. It is said to be desolate because the state of the place is completely empty, and <u>nature has taken over the place</u>. In fact, the words “<em>stone or metal,</em>” “<em>many pigeons,</em>” “<em>towers,</em>” and "<em>wild cats that roam the god-roads</em>” describe the details of a desolate place that has been taken over by nature, which is <u>the Place of the Gods</u>.
Answer:
A Despite not explicitly discussing Hughes or his poetry, King etc.
Explanation:
As the title <em>Langston Hughes' </em><em>Hidden influence </em><em>on MLK </em>clearly shows, the central idea is the non-visible (at first sight) influence of Langston Hughes on MLK. Due to the fact that MLK didn´t explicitly discussed or mentioned L. Hughes, his influence is, therefore, hidden.
The lines from Bob Kaufman's
"Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness"
conveys that Kaufman sees mental hospitals and institutionalization as
inhumane, ineffective, and uncaring. The surgeons only thinks about how well equipped
they are with their machines and they are excited to use this to people with
mental illness without caring the fact that it might be harmful to them.
A seems like the right answer. Normally if a sentence sounds right, it is.
B is wrong because it makes it seem like she finished a book report with her family. The words are all mixed up.
C is wrong because it says she looked forward to having just finished... it doesn't make sense. She was looking forward to a relaxing weekend, not the report.
D is wrong because the words are all mixed up and doesn't make sense.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
D). To persuade my audience that capital punishment fails to deter people from committing murder.
Explanation:
A purpose statement is described as a statement that primarily functions to define the topic and purpose of the speech or essay in a precise and compact manner. It reveals the key focus, direction, and objectives of the work that are going to be accomplished at the end.
As per the question, option D i.e. 'To persuade my audience that capital punishment fails to deter people from committing murder' reveals the purpose statement designed for a persuasive speech on a question of fact. <u>This would reveal the factual 'cause-and-effect'('capital punishment in preventing murders') direction that the speech would deal with. It would assist in establishing the credibility of the claim and convince the audience logically</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
