Thoreau’s general opinion of government relate to his imprisonment, as described in "Civil Disobedience" as:

A) He believed that government was corrupt and that he was justified in not paying his taxes despite being put in prison.

Henry David Thoreau's argument in the “Civil Disobedience” was that the citizens of a nation need to disobey the laws implemented by the state if the laws are unjust. He speaks about his experience when he protested against slavery and the Mexican War by refusing to pay taxes. He adds that there are two types of laws, one is made by God and the other by the people. The laws made by God is about humanity and is higher than the laws made by men. He adds that if the laws made by men prove to be unjust and are against humanity then the people should have the right to disobey them.

I would say that Thoreau's general opinion of government relates to his imprisonment in such a way that A) He believed that government was corrupt and that he was justified in not paying his taxes despite being put in prison.
He felt proud of himself for sticking to his ideals, regardless of the price.

svlad2 [7]

A. a style of jazz developed in Harlem.


One of the things that helps in determining that “boogie-woogie” refers to a style of jazz developed in Harlem is the third word of the first line—“daddy.”  What daddy is referring to is the term “daddy-o,” which was a term for a male commonly used in the jazz era in the Harlem area among others, but its origin is certainly attributed to the jazz culture.

Which sentence contains an underlined clause?
erastova [34]

Answer:

After walking my dogs, I sat down to do my homework assignment.

Explanation:

The following words are underlined in the given sentences:

  • My <u>two large dogs happily</u> chased each other around the backyard.
  • Because of their size, my dogs must be <u>fed three meals daily</u>.
  • I wash my dogs <u>outside near</u> the garage once every two weeks.
  • After walking my dogs, <u>I sat down</u> to do my homework assignment.

The term <em>clause</em><em> </em>refers to a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. The subject is what the sentence is about, while the predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.

In order to find the correct answer, we need to look for a subject and a predicate within the underlined groups of words.

In the first example, the predicate is missing.

In the second, it's the subject that is missing.

In the third example, neither the subject nor the predicate is underlined.

In the fourth example, they are both present. <em>I</em> is the subject, and <em>sat</em> is the predicate. That's why the fourth sentence is the correct answer.
