Answer:
"Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell
The Europeans are presented as unnecessary despots, who foolishly portray themselves as lords, by imposing their rule over others, nothing realizing that they are becoming a laughing stock of the ruled. Imperialists all over history think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the people, whom they think they dominate. Like masked people, who have grown to resemble the masks they wear with ingrained habits and prejudices, Europeans must dance to the music that only the crowds know how best to play.
Explanation:
George Orwell's 1936 short story titled: "Shooting an Elephant" describes his experiences as a Burmese colonial police officer, torn in-between loyalty to his official duty and the dictates of his conscience. According to George Orwell, imperialism and colonialism attract the wicked man's reward: lack of appreciation.

.Martin Luther King, Jr. ‘s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” (1963). •In at least a paragraph, describe a persuasive moment of the speech. QUOTE THE LINE! Explain why it was so memorable. DO NOT USE THE FIRST LINES.
Explanation: In Birmingham, Alabama, in the spring of 1963, King’s campaign to end segregation at lunch counters and in hiring practices drew nationwide attention when police turned dogs and fire hoses on the demonstrators. King was jailed along with large numbers of his supporters, including hundreds of schoolchildren. His supporters did not, however, include all the Black clergy of Birmingham, and he was strongly opposed by some of the white clergy who had issued a statement urging African Americans not to support the demonstrations. From the Birmingham jail, King wrote a letter of great eloquence in which he spelled out his philosophy of nonviolence:Near the end of the Birmingham campaign, in an effort to draw together the multiple forces for peaceful change and to dramatize to the country and to the world the importance of solving the U.S. racial problem, King joined other civil rights leaders in organizing the historic March on Washington. On August 28, 1963, an interracial assembly of more than 200,000 gathered peaceably in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial to demand equal justice for all citizens under the law. Here the crowds were uplifted by the emotional strength and prophetic quality of King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, in which he emphasized his faith that all men, someday, would be brothers.

Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder If I could put a notion in his head: "Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offence. Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down." Now read "The Pasture," also by Robert Frost. I’m going out to clean the pasture spring; I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I shan’t be gone long.—You come too. I’m going out to fetch the little calf That’s standing by the mother. It’s so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I shan’t be gone long.—You come too. Which best accounts for the different views of spring expressed in the poems?
Answer:
The poems have different speakers.
Explanation:
This question is incomplete. According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
Frost’s opinions changed through time. The poems have different speakers. Frost’s speakers represent his own views. The poems were written at different locations.In this question, we see two different poems written by the same author, Robert Frost. In the first poem, Frost talks about the building of a wall, and how this is perceived not only by the person building the wall, but by others. In the second case, Frost talks about a calf, and how this symbolizes the beginning of the spring. The views that are expressed about spring are different because the speakers in the poem are different as well. Therefore, they each focus on different elements of spring.
Answer:
B the poems have different speakers
When you encounter a T-critical value of 2.50, which T-obtained value would reject the null hypothesis? A) Tobt = 2.75 B) Tobt = -2.75 C) Tobt = 2.40 D) Tobt = - 2.40
Answer: A) Tobt = 2.75 B) Tobt = -2.75
Explanation:
We reject the null hypothesis when the absolute critical t-value is lower than the absolute t-obtained value.The given t-critical value [tex]T_{crit}=2.50[/tex]
So , we reject null hypothesis , when [tex]2.50< | T_{obt}|[/tex]
Since, [tex]2.50<|2.75|,\ \ 2.50<|-2.75|[/tex] but [tex]2.50>|2.40|\ \ \ , 2.50>|-2.40|[/tex]
So, the correct options are A) Tobt = 2.75 B) Tobt = -2.75

The writer wants to introduce the topic of electronegativity with a concrete, casually observable example from the natural world. Which choice best accomplishes this goal
Answer:
B. How do water striders skim across the surfaces of ponds and lakes? Their hydrophobic legs are uniquely suited to this process, but the insects
Explanation:
Below are the options given:
A. NO CHANGE
B. How do water striders skim across the surfaces of ponds and lakes? Their hydrophobic legs are uniquely suited to this process, but the insects
C. How do our bodies break down the food we consume every day? While digestion would be impossible without enzymes and other proteins, these molecules
D. How does our DNA maintain a double helical structure? While the shape of this nucleic acid is the result of many complex properties, its structures
Option B is correct because it gives a concrete, casually observable example from the natural world and thereby accomplishes the goal. It explains the connection between surface tension and electronegativity.
Option B gives an example from the natural world - the water strider.
The water striders are a good example of insects that use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs. This enables them to walk on water. Their legs are coated with a hydrophobic substance. The hydrophobic substance makes the legs to repel water molecules i.e it makes water unable to stick to their legs. This makes them to easily skim on water surfaces.
Answer:
Electronegativity is a measure of the affinity between electrons and atoms.
When an atom exhibits greater attraction for electrons, it is said to have very high electronegativity.
Electronegativity is an inherent quality that remains constant in all the atoms of an element. Fluorine is the chemical element with the highest electronegativity.
In nature, the most important element which whose electronegative qualities (or whose ability to bind with other atoms) make it crucial for life is Oxygen.
When we inhale air, the Oxygen is used by our bodies to convert glucose to energy and Carbon Di-Oxide is released.

An essay will show you a special understanding about how a culture feels about a specific concept,
idea, or topic.
True or false?
The statement "an essay will show you a special understanding about how a culture feels about a specific concept, idea, or topic" is absolutely incorrect.

An essay may always be independent regarding cultural bias. It always signifies the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of the writer regardless of what culture reveals.
