This comes off mostly as condescending to me.
The use of a rhetorical question at the end of the paragraph, "Why should it be up to private charities to take care of those who battled and bled for their country?" is almost like a challenge. Why isn't the government responsible? Like that.
The definition of condescending is having or showing a feeling of patronizing superiority. The author's tone, at least to me, sounds like they feel they are in a position to talk out about this. And towards the government, at least, the tone would be condescending.
The author isn't hand-wringing anxious, or extremely frustrated, either. That would leave the last option, condescending.

Megan is writing about this excerpt from The Jungle Book.
Mowgli sprang to his feet. "Free People," he cried, "does Shere Khan lead the Pack? What has a tiger to do with our leadership?"
"Seeing that the leadership is yet open, and being asked to speak—" Shere Khan began.
"By whom?" said Mowgli. "Are we all jackals, to fawn on this cattle butcher? The leadership of the Pack is with the Pack alone."
There were yells of "Silence, thou man's cub!" "Let him speak. He has kept our law!" And at last the seniors of the Pack thundered: "Let the Dead Wolf speak!"
When a leader of the Pack has missed his kill, he is called the Dead Wolf as long as he lives, which is not long, as a rule.
Megan makes the claim "Respecting leadership is an important part of the Jungle Law.”
Which action best supports this claim?
Answer:
The senior wolves in the pack allow Akela, the Dead Wolf, to speak at Council Rock.

In at least one hundred and fifty words, summarize the argument Jefferson puts forth in the Declaration of Independence and the structure he uses to express his argument.
Answer:
The Declaration of Independence of the United States, written by Thomas Jefferson on July 4, 1776, was the document that proclaimed the separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain, declaring the independence of the United States as a sovereign nation.
In this proclamation, Jefferson summarizes the motivations for which the patriots sought independence from Great Britain, specifying the abuses of King George against the individual and economic rights of the settlers, such as the establishment of the Intolerable Acts and the Taxation after the French and Indian War. Later, he mentions that the will of the colonists was that of reconciliation, but that this was not admitted by the British Crown itself.
Thus, he continues to establish that the ideological motivation of the patriots was to establish a nation where the natural rights of men (following the philosophical position of John Locke) were respected, where each individual could enjoy without restriction the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Answer:
It has become necessary for the 13 colonies to separate from Great Britain. These 13 colonies have the right to become a nation as legitimate as any other nation. Additionally, it is important to explain to the public, including those in other nations, why this declaration of independence is made. This declaration is based on certain truths. All men are meant to be equal and to have certain rights (“unalienable rights”) that the government should never take away. These rights include “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Governments exist to support the rights of men. Governments exist only through the power of the people that they represent. When a government fails to grant rights to the people and removes the involvement of the people, the people have the right to change their government in a way that will allow for their unalienable rights to be protected. Governments should not be overthrown for trivial reasons; it is not typical for people to change a system that they are accustomed to. However, when the people have suffered many abuses under the control of a totalitarian leader, they not only have the right but the duty to overthrow that government.

I know from experience that many adolescents frail to get adequate sleep during the school week because they stay up late, either watching movies, playing video games, or just because they cannot sleep. For example, I regularly fall asleep no earlier than 2:00 am or longer if i'm lucky! Because I spend several hours watching my favorite T.V Series (***whatever that is****). As a result I have a great deal of trouble staying awake and doing meaningful things like doing my homework and other non-procrastinating things, the next school day, especially in challenging classes such as ***(Math) (I dont know urs so put yours)**** is hard to focus because I am so tired from staying up late and procrastinating my stuff I need to get done such as my homework.

What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on
the paper?
to represent the darkness of death
to maintain the tradition of the lottery
to enhance the mystery of the lottery
to represent the horror of disobedience
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on the paper?
Read the passage from "The Lottery."
Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal-company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd.
O to represent the darkness of death
to maintain the tradition of the lottery
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
O to represent the horror of disobedience
Answer:
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
Explanation:
The author presents the black spot on the paper as a way to convey a mysterious sensation to the reader. This is because the reader does not understand what this black spot represents, but understands that it is not a good and fun thing. In this way the reader begins to doubt the nature of the lottery and what it refers to. In this case, the author manages to show through the black spot on the paper, the mystery that the lottery carries, thus imposing a suspense in the plot.

Read the passage, then answer the question that follows.
It has had a hard life of it, this feeling of Imperial patriotism. It was checked for a generation by the apathy and the indifference which were the characteristics of our former relations with our Colonies, but it was never extinguished. The embers were still alight, and when in the late war this old country of ours showed that it was still possessed by the spirit of our ancestors, and that it was still prepared to count no sacrifice that was necessary in order to maintain the honor and the interests of the Empire, then you found a response from your children across the seas that astonished the whole world by a proof, an undeniable proof, of affection and regard.

He then began to curse me, shouting terrible words and saying that I was a traitor, that I would get a terrible punishment. He kept on cursing uncontrollably. I remained standing as tall as I could, not reacting at all to his words. The more he shouted, the more nervous he became. He began to pace from wall to wall. Suddenly, he spun on his heel and said, "What shall I do with you?" At that moment, I began to feel that I was getting a little more control of the situation. I felt as though I'd grown a little in height. He studied me. I could hear him thinking, Here are two people standing across from each other who are from one country, from one city. One hunts Jews and the other protects them. He quieted down a bit; his face became more human.

Wheatley ends her poem addressed to the earl of Dartmouth with an allusion to the biblical story of Elijah. Elijah performed bold and miraculous work on god's behalf after which a fiery horse drawn chariot transported him to heaven. What meaning does she intend by this allusion, and what effect does she achieve by placing it at the very bottom end of her poem
Answer:
The poet intends to affirm that Count Dartmouth is capable of great deeds and must receive a divine reward ascending to the skies and having his history recognized worldwide.
Explanation:
The speaker of the poem wants Dartmouth to receive a divine reward, which is as special as the good works he has promoted. With this, the speaker shows Dartmouth a man who promoted progress through bold, great and beneficial attitudes, being able to rise to the skies as God did with Elijah.
With this, the speaker feels that Dartmouth is a man guided by God and that is why he has such good attitudes, so God will not allow him to know death and take him for himself.
The use of allusion was to affirm that Dartmouth is capable of great deeds and must therefore receive a divine reward ascending to the skies.
Allusion simply refers to the figure of speech that's used to call something to mind without mentioning that particular thing explicitly
Based on the story, the speaker wants Dartmouth to receive a divine reward, due to the good works that he has promoted. With this, the speaker shows Dartmouth should ascend to the sky just like Elijah did in the Bible. The speaker illustrated how Dartmouth is a good person.
