why do you think the speakers sassines will upset others still i rise
Answer:
Because Angelou´s self-confidence and her feisty approach to life might seem like not good qualities for a black woman in the eyes of those who are racist and/or against the human rights of women and African Americans.
Explanation:
Maya Angelou´s poem titled "Still I Rise" is an ode to the resilience of those who suffer oppression. Angelou was a civil rights activist whose poetry often referred to blackness and black womanhood, so it´s likely that this poem is a critique of anti-black racism.
When she asks if her sassiness might upset some people, she uses irony to reflect her disdain for what the white man thinks of her. She repeatedly describes herself as behaving like someone with lots of money and power would, and since she´s a black woman, she knows there are people who won´t like that. So her question is actually a provocation: she couldn´t care less about offending that kind of people.

During the picking season my grandmother would get out of bed at four o'clock ... and creak down to her knees and chant in a sleep-filled voice, "Our Father, thank you for letting me see this New Day. Thank you that you didn't allow the bed I lay on last night to be my cooling board, nor my blanket my winding sheet." In this excerpt use context clues to identify what comparison Angelou is making with the metaphors of bed as cooling board and blanket as winding sheet.
Answer: Burial Preparations after death
Explanation: When Angelou's grandmother compares her bed to her "cooling board", she is referring to the board dead bodies are put on while they cool off.

How are you? Là gì!!!!!!
the world computer is a new term
The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.
Answer: False
Explanation:
This is a reading comprehension question that can only be answered by reading the provided text about computers. There, we can find an explanation about the origin of the word "computer," which had been used to refer to a person that was able to carry out calculations. It was only by the end of the 19th century that the word acquired a new meaning to describe the machines built to carry out computations.
So the statement is false: the word "computer" is not a new term.

The first blind man happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well!" he said, "now I know all about this beast. He is exactly like a wall."
The second felt only of the elephant's tusk. "My brother," he said, "you are mistaken. He is not at all like a wall. He is round and smooth and sharp. He is more like a spear than anything else."
The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "Both of you are wrong," he said. "Anybody who knows anything can see that this elephant is like a snake."
The fourth reached out his arms, and grasped one of the elephant's legs. "Oh, how blind you are!" he said. "It is very plain to me that he is round and tall like a tree."
The fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's ear. "The blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things that you name," he said. "He is exactly like a huge fan."
The sixth was very blind indeed, and it was some time before he could find the elephant at all. At last he seized the animal's tail. "O foolish fellows!" he cried. "You surely have lost your senses. This elephant is not like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. But any man with a particle of sense can see that he is exactly like a rope."
Then the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, and quarreled about him. Each believed that he knew just how the animal looked; and each called the others hard names because they did not agree with him. People who have eyes sometimes act as foolishly.

In which of these statements does Henry use parallelism?
A. “Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope."
B. “We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated."
C. "Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received?"
D. “Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle?"
Answer:
B. “We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated."
Explanation:
Parallelism or parallel structure is when similar words are used in close proximity. In other words, we can say parallelism is when successive verbal constructions are used in a sentence.
In Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty" speech, he used parallelism in the line "We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated." The parallelism is in the repetition of the phrase "we have...." within the same sentence.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
To choose the correct of (does/does not):I will not deny that the defendant's action might seem heinous. Nevertheless, such a competent jury cannot deny the dire circumstances of the defendant's upbringing! Orphaned at birth, a loveless foster home, little encouragement in either schooling or vocation: Who among us cannot understand the desperation that such circumstances might inspire? I submit that the defendant's crime would never have happened except for such desperate circumstances. You must acquit.
(DOES/DOES NOT) commit a fallacy; specifically, it (DOES/DOES NOT) commit a straw man fallacy.
Answer:
It does commit a fallacy; specifically, it does not commit a straw man fallacy.
Explanation:
The text presented in the question above presents a fallacy, but not the fallacy known as straw man, but the fallacy known as appeal to penalty.
A fallacy is an incorrect argument, which presents irrelevant and error-filled reasoning, in an attempt to convince the listener to make an incorrect decision in the case. The text presented above, presents the fallacy known as appeal to penalty, where the speaker tries to justify the wrong actions committed by someone, putting that person as a victim and trying to win the listener's sympathy to free that person from the accusations. The speaker of the text above, uses this fallacy when trying to victimize a criminal and claim that the crimes committed were carried out because of the sad life that the criminal went through and for that reason, he should be acquitted.

to which order it belongs During the whole of a dullI, dark, and soundless day last autumn, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I was passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length I found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of a deserted house. I don't know how it was- but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of unbearable gloom gripped my spirit. I looked upon the scene before me- the mere house, the simple landscape features of the domain, the moss-grown walls, the vacant eye-like windows, and a few white trunks of decayed trees- with an utter depression of soul. *
what was the order used by the author in this statement
1_ spatial order
2_ chronological order
3_ time order
4_ empathetic order
Answer:
1_ spatial order
Explanation:
Spatial order is a description of things as they appear when observed. It also describes the location of things in space. For example, they could be located up or down, before or after, behind or in front, etc. Objects are also vividly described so that readers can relate to them. The writer makes use of this order in the passage above. These are seen in expressions such as:
a dulI, dark, and soundless day last autumn
I looked upon the scene before me- the mere house, the simple landscape features of the domain, ...
Descriptions such as the above help the reader to have a better visualization of the scene.
