5. At the end of the text, Jacobs writes about a woman who begged her to

get her a newspaper. Why does Jacobs likely include this story in the

text?

O A To demonstrate the conflicting and often incorrect information

received by slaves

OB To condemn the illiteracy and lack of education enforced by

slaveholders

OC To correct the woman who thought America had a queen

OD To bemoan the lack of available newspapers and literature in the

South

Answer:  A To demonstrate the conflicting and often incorrect information  received by slaves.

Explanation:

This is based on the article: ''What Slaves are Taught to Think of the North'' by Harriet Jacobs.

From this article we discover that the Southern whites tried very much to discredit the North in the eyes of the enslaved by giving them false information and denying them the right to learn how to read so they could see through the deception.

Harriet Jacobs uses the example of the woman who begged her to read a newspaper to show just how bad the misinformation was because the woman actually thought that the United States had a Queen who had more authority than the President.

1.What is the purpose of persuasive writing?​

I do not believe we should have to leave out the crucial elements of our language and culture to contribute to American literature, but, unfortunately, this is a conclusion I am forced to reach. I have been writing for a quarter century, and have been a published author for eighteen years. As a writer, I was part of the Chicano Movement which created a new literature in this country.

Which details from this excerpt best show that the author’s purpose in including this paragraph is to illustrate how hazardous the scientists’ work is?

There she met Lieutenant Colonel Trotter, a stocky, dark-haired man whom Nancy had worked with for many years. They put on their inner gloves and taped their cuffs.
Nancy put a pair of hearing protectors over her ears. She had started wearing them a while back, when people had begun to suspect that the roar of air in your suit might be loud enough to damage your hearing.
They hauled on their space suits and sealed the Ziploc zippers. They edged around each other as they fiddled with their suits.
People wearing biohazard space suits tend to step around one another like two wrestlers at the beginning of a match, watching the other person's every move, especially watching the hands to make sure they don't hold a sharp object. This cringing becomes instinctive.

As he spoke, he pointed his staff at a female figure or
the path, in whom Goodman Brown recognized a very
pious and exemplary dame, who had taught him his
catechism in youth, and was still his moral and spiritual
adviser, jointly with the minister and Deacon Gookin. ...
"Ah, forsooth, and is it your worship, indeed?" cried the
good dame. "Yea, truly is it, and in the very image of
my old gossip, Goodman Brown, the grandfather of the
silly fellow that now is. But--would your worship believe
it?--my broomstick hath strangely disappeared, stolen,
as I suspect, by that unhanged witch, Goody Cory, and

smallage and cinque-foil and wolf's-bane--"

Identifying a Feature of a Comedy of Manners

-

Jack: I am in love with Gwendolen. I have come up to town expressly to propose to her.

Algernon: I thought you had come up for pleasure? . . . I call that business.

Jack: How utterly unromantic you are!

Algernon: I really don’t see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I’ll certainly try to forget the fact.
–The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde

1.draw up 10 question based on the passage below. You must have at least one question starting with each of the following words: Who, where, when, why, how.

Much of Canada's forestry production goes towards making pulp and Canada supplies 34% of the world's wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way, Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a possible alternative way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp

Hemp has been cultivated by many cultures for thousands of years. It produces fibre, which can be made into paper, fuel, oils, food, and rope. for centuries, it was essentials to the economies of many countries, because it was used to make the ropes and cables used in sailor ships; colonial expansion and the establishment of a world-wide trading network would not have been feasible without hemp. Nowadays, ships cables are usually made from wire or synthetic fibres, but scientist are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp should be revived for the production of paper and pulp. According to its proponents, four times as much paper can produced from land using hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada's forests

Read the excerpt from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. For surely, Sir, you will not assert, that a duty can be binding which is not founded on reason? If indeed this be their destination, arguments may be drawn from reason: and thus augustly supported, the more understanding women acquire, the more they will be attached to their duty—comprehending it—for unless they comprehend it, unless their morals be fixed on the same immutable principle as those of man, no authority can make them discharge it in a virtuous manner. They may be convenient slaves, but slavery will have its constant effect, degrading the master and the abject dependent. How does this idea enhance Wollstonecraft’s argument? by suggesting that women’s assigned roles enslave them by suggesting that women need more hired help by insisting that men explain women’s duties to them by insisting that women have better morals than men

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.

Romeo: [TO JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

Romeo: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
Juliet: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

Romeo: O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

Juliet: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

Romeo: Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.

To what does Romeo compare Juliet?

A pair of lips

A shrine

A prayer

A pair of hands
