blick, because they soon would become breeders themselves: And besides, it is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to censure such a practice, (although indeed very unjustly) as a little bordering upon cruelty, which, I confess, hath always been with me the strongest objection against any project, how well soever intended.Which statement is an example of understatement in this excerpt?A) The criticism of the practice would be levied "very unjustly."B) Women becoming breeders would be a "loss to the publick."C) Some people "might be apt to" criticize the practice.D) Many women would "become breeders themselves."

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Some people "might be apt to" criticize the practice.

Explanation:

An understatement is a tool used by a speaker to make <u>a situation less important. </u>

In this case, the speaker shows how people were against <em>“females to become breeders”</em>. In a simpler way, they opposed the simple fact that women have children, coming to compare this act as an animal act.

Which sentence is written correctly? The, local market, has the freshest produce and meats in town. Takeko, a painting student o
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Sarah, Matt's wife, works as a business software developer.

Explanation:

The noun Sarah preceding the appositive Matt's wife provides sufficient identification on its own, so we have to use commas around the appositive.

These sentences are written incorrectly:

The, local market, has the freshest produce and meats in town. We don't need to use commas around the subject <em>local market</em>.

Takeko, a painting student offered to help with a sculpting demonstration.

We need to use commas around the appositive <em>a painting student</em>.

The store offers, many products, which can be personalized with your initials. No commas are needed.

Douglass says, “At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument is needed” (lines 138–139). Why does he say this,
Tamiku [17]
He says this because he is discussing the Fourth of July -- Independence Day.

Douglass says, however, that not everyone is independent. Some Americans, he reasons, are far from independent -- namely slaves. It is ironic that, on a day Americans celebrate freedom, a large portion of the population is anything but free.
