Read the excerpt from David Crockett: His Life and Adventures by John S. C. Abbott.

The table was often a large slab of timber, hewn out with a broad-axe, and supported by four stakes driven into auger-holes. The table furniture consisted of a few pewter dishes, with wooden plates and bowls. There were generally a few pewter spoons, much battered about the edges, but most of the spoons were of horn, homemade. Crockery, so easily broken, was almost unknown. Table knives were seldom seen. The deficiency was made up by the hunting-knives which all the men carried in sheaths attached to their hunting-shirts.

What does the setting in this excerpt reveal about the culture of its people?

the beauty of frontier homes
the importance of manners
a lack of sophistication
a love for family traditions

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a lack of sophistication

Explanation:

The way the author depicts the scenario above shows that the people there have a lack of sophistication.

Reasons being:

The table was simply a large slab of timberNo crockery was used rather horn spoons. People used the knives in their sheaths in lieu of table knives.  

These points are not meant to insult but rather to show that the people here used primitive methods and so could not be said to be sophisticated.

According to "What We Mean When We Say the People," why do people accept the idea of majority rule?

Answers

Answer:

Because it prevents episodes of tyranny.

Explanation:

A government based on the preference of the majority, prevents acts of tyranny from happening, because it does not allow a single person to receive all the governmental power and leadership of a nation. Thus, as power is in the hands of the majority of the population, an act of tyranny or abuse of power would be more difficult to happen, as there would be many people overseeing and fighting any attempt.

A village struggles to survive being cut off from the neighboring towns due to rising floodwater would best fit the historical context of the 14th century. The Option D.

Why was the Option D the best fit for the 14th century?

During the 14th century, Europe experienced various natural disasters such as the Great Famine and the Black Death. Also flooding was a common occurrence due to inadequate drainage systems and the increase in heavy rainfalls.

Therefore, the story scenario that portrays the challenges faced by a village struggling to survive being cut off from neighboring towns due to rising floodwaters would be a fitting reflection of the historical context of the 14th century.

Upon the Burning of Our House





In silent night when rest I took,

For sorrow near I did not look,

I waken'd was with thund'ring noise

And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice.

That fearful sound of fire and fire, 5

Let no man know is my desire.

I, starting up, the light did spy,

And to my God my heart did cry

To strengthen me in my distress

And not to leave me succorless. 10

Then coming out beheld a space,

The flame consume my dwelling place.

And, when I could no longer look,

I blest his Name that gave and took,

That laid my goods now in the dust: 15

Yea so it was, and so 'twas just.

It was his own: it was not mine;

Far be it that I should repine.

He might of all justly bereft,

But yet sufficient for us left. 20

When by the ruins oft I past,

My sorrowing eyes aside did cast,

And here and there the places spy

Where oft I sat, and long did lie.

Here stood that trunk, and there that chest; 25

There lay that store I counted best:

My pleasant things in ashes lie,

And them behold no more shall I

Under thy roof no guest shall sit,

Nor at thy table eat a bit. 30

No pleasant tale shall e'er be told

Nor things recounted done of old.

No candle e'er shall shine in thee

Nor bridegroom's voice ere heard shall be.

In silence ever shalt thou lie; 35

Adieu, adieu; all's vanity.

Then straight I gin my heart to chide,

And did thy wealth on earth abide?

Didst fix thy hope on mould'ring dust,

The arm of flesh didst make thy trust? 40

Raise up thy thoughts above the sky

That dunghill mists away may fly.

Thou hast an house on high erect,

Fram'd by that mighty Architect,

With glory richly furnished, 45

Stands permanent tho' this be fled.

It's purchased, and paid for too

By him who hath enough to do.

A prize so vast as is unknown,

Yet, by his gift, is made thine own. 50

There's wealth enough, I need no more;

Farewell my pelf, farewell my store.

The world no longer let me love,

My hope and treasure lies above.

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from "A Case for Restricting Hate Speech," by Laura Beth Nielsen. These negative physical and mental health outcomes—which embody the historical roots of race and gender oppression—mean that hate speech is not "just speech." Hate speech is doing something. It results in tangible harms that are serious in and of themselves and that collectively amount to the harm of subordination. The harm of perpetuating discrimination. The harm of creating inequality. What is the purpose of Nielsen’s repetition of the word harm? to emphasize the very real damage hate speech inflicts to show how many people repeatedly use hate speech against others to detail the negative physical health outcomes that arise from hate speech to demonstrate that inequality hurts those suffering from gender and race oppression

Answers

Answer:

To emphasize the very real damage hate speech inflicts.

Explanation:

Prof. Laura Beth Nielsen wrote about the issue of hate speech in an op-ed and details the physical as well as mental 'illness' it can give a person. The issue of hate speech is much more than what meets the eye, and that it is something that is still plaguing the world.

In the given excerpt from the article, Nielsen uses the word "harm" continuously. This repetition is mostly used to lay great emphasis on the very word, and also to 'highlight' the effect on others. She remarks how hate speeches "collectively amount to the harm of subordination. The harm of perpetuating discrimination. The harm of creating inequality." And it is not just physical torment that it causes, but even has "mental health outcomes". She uses "harm" repetitively to emphasize the real damage that hate speeches inflict on the receivers.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Answer:

A to emphasize the very real damage hate speech inflicts

The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name
