excerpt from A Declaration of Sentiments

“The American women’s suffrage movement could be said to have started in 1848 at the Seneca Falls Convention. During this meeting, women’s rights activists discussed their grievances with society as it was. They drafted the “Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments” to express what needed to change for women in America. Read an excerpt of this Declaration of Sentiments below.”

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government. . . . The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.

He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice. . . .

He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns. . . .

Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation--in view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States.

Which idea is unsupported by the author’s main arguments about Benjamin Franklin's accomplishments?


Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity

adapted from the National Park Service


Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired to study its properties. Some of his research resulted in "tricks" that he used to amuse others. For example, he made a charged metal spider that moved like the real thing. He discovered new ways to generate, store, and turn on electricity. His design of lightning rods helped prevent untold numbers of structural fires throughout the world.

His famous kite experiment occurred in June 1752. Franklin asked his son William to fly a kite to which he had attached a wire on top and a key at the end of a string. Ultimately, the kite gathered an electric charge from a storm cloud. Franklin was then able to collect some of the charge and compare it to the electricity he had created in other experiments. He did not mention the experiment until October, four months after it took place, at which point Franklin did not clarify that he had conducted the experiment himself—an issue that has caused some people to doubt Franklin's story.

Which two words enhance the setting in this poem? War by Ellen Glasgow Ripples of ribbons borne on high, Bloodstains upon a brazen sky; From cannon belching on the plain, Fire that by fire is fought again. A flash where steel by steel is met; A fume of smoke and blood and sweat. Sharp from the smeared and trodden gorse The death-cry of a wounded horse. Dust of a plain ground into red By armies of majestic dead. Gaunt shadows on the changeless sky, A flock of vultures swarming nigh. Mid ashes where a hearth has stood, Children that cry aloud for food. Where green the peaceful highways run, A woman ravished in the sun. And far across the reeking sod A Nation sounding thanks to God.

Victoria read the following essay about environmental issues for a research project on recycling. America could be greener. Yes, most individuals recycle, but America is still a wasteful nation. For example, restaurants, especially fast-food establishments, could provide clearly marked recycling bins for customers to separate their trash. Many plastic cups, utensils, and other materials could be thoroughly washed and reused. Retail outlets could enact a policy that requires customers to bring their own reusable bags or pay to purchase one at checkout. That way bags get reused over and over. Determine the effect of the author’s purpose on the text. A. The author wants to entertain readers, so she provides imaginative examples of ways to recycle. B. The author wants to persuade readers to change habits so she chooses specific examples of how America could become greener. C. The author wants to inform readers, so she writes with upbeat language to make the topic of recycling sound stimulating. D. The author wants to describe the situation to readers, so she uses opinionated language to express the idea that America is a wasteful nation.
