Letter to a Citizen of Kentucky, an excerpt
Executive Mansion, Washington,
April 4, 1864.
A. G. Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky.
My Dear Sir:
You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally stated the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows:
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel; and yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially in this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it in my view that I might take the oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power.
I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times and in many ways; and I aver that, to this day I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government, that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution?
By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life, but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether.
When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident...
Yours truly,
A. Lincoln
Use context to determine the meaning of the words in bold. (4 points)
Hello. You did not have any words in bold in the text presented in the question above. This prevents your question from being answered. However, when searching for your question, I was able to find a question exactly like yours, which showed the following words in bold: organic law, indispensable necessity.
If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.
Answer and Explanation:
Taking into account the context clues, we can see that when the author of the letter uses the words "organic law" he is referring to the basic laws and common principles in a society. Through the context clues we can also understand that when the author of the letter uses the words "indispensable necessity" he is referring to a need that is crucial and very important.
These two examples show how context clues are very important features during a reading, because they enable the reader to understand unfamiliar or difficult words through the context of the sentence or the text itself, allowing the reader to understand the entire text well.

It is likewise most lamentable to think, how in taking Negros out of Africa, and selling of them here, That which GOD has joined together men do boldly rend asunder [Matt. 19:6]; Men from their Country, Husbands from their Wives, Parents from their Children. How horrible is the Uncleanness, Mortality, if not Murder, that the Ships are guilty of that bring great Crouds of these miserable Men, and Women. Methinks, when we are bemoaning the barbarous Usage of our Friends and kinsfolk in Africa: it might not be unseasonable to enquire whether we are not culpable in forcing the Africans to become Slaves amongst our selves. And it may be a question whether all the Benefit received by Negro Slaves, will balance the . . . cash laid out upon them; and for the Redemption of our own enslaved Friends out of Africa. Besides all the Persons and Estates that have perished there.

The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepar'd,
Which, as he breath'd defiance to my ears,
He swung about his head, and cut the winds,
Who, nothing hurt withal hiss'd him in scorn.
Save and Exit
Answer:
B. the Capulet servants and Tybalt
Explanation:
According to Benvolio, the fight was caused by the Capulet servants and Tybalt. Thus, option second is correct.
What is the theme of Romeo and Juliet?The play's main topic and most significant theme is love. The drama focuses on romantic love, particularly the tremendous desire that develops between Romeo and Juliet at first sight.
Tybalt, a Capulet relative, pulls his own sword after spotting Benvolio's drawn one. Benvolio tries to explain that he is only trying to maintain order, but Tybalt declares that he hates peace just as much as he hates the Montagues and launches an attack.
A verbal altercation rapidly turns physical. Benvolio claimed that Tybalt and the Capulet servants were to blame for the altercation. So, the second choice is the correct one.

How do you refer to furries as a whole? I'm writing a story and I'm stumped. Here's what it is: There weren't any other ________ around. What do I put?
There weren't any other (furries) around. There weren't any other (people) around.
Answer:
People. It makes it more interesting compared to people because when you like animals, not having other furries around make it seem like you are bored and not interested in anyone. You could go off and say like since they weren't any humans/people around you could do something that shouldn't be frowned upon. Just some insight!
Explanation:
Answer:
It depends on the context. You could simply say "furries", as well as "furs" and "anthros" (if you're referring to the characters themselves and not the people in the fandom), and if you're wanting to be humorous, you can throw in something like "furmanity" or "furrykind", although those wouldn't make as much sense in the context given.

Answer and Explanation:
"Condensed Milk" is a short story by Russian author Varlam Shalamov (1907-1982), who based it on his own experience as a prisoner. Shalamov spent around 15 years at a Gulag, a forced-labor camp.
The unnamed protagonist of the story is very much like Shalamov himself. Most likely arrested for expressing opinions against the political regime, he lives a miserable life at the Gulag. He is sick, weak, and apathetic due to the suffering and starvation.
The conflict is introduced by another character, Shestakov, who has privileges at the Gulag. Shestakov offers the protagonist a chance to escape the camp. However, the protagonist knows this means either death or more time as a prisoner. Nonetheless, instead of directly rejecting the opportunity, he chooses a more interesting approach to deal with the conflict. He asks for some condensed milk to drink, saying he will feel stronger and will be able to escape after drinking it.
He does not have any intention of escaping. He is just using Shestakov to get some delicious food for him. The climax of the story, the point when the conflict is being addressed, is when the protagonist drinks the two can Shestakov has brought him. It is also the point where he reveals his real intentions:
'You know,' I said, carefully licking the spoon, 'I changed my mind. Go without me.'
The protagonist was right. Shestakov was indeed working with the government, and those who tried to escape were either killed or sentenced to more time. But it is interesting to see that the protagonist regards his actions as a revenge - small, but still a revenge. He outsmarted the man who was willing to get him killed. He dealt with the conflict with wit and humor:
It was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings. But what else could I do?
Answer:The conflict in the short story Condensed milk is survival in a Gulag, hungr and desperation.
