Which quotation best expresses a major theme of this speech?

"'We went to our great father. We were encouraged. His great council gave us fair words and big promises, but we got no satisfaction.'"


"'I am much grieved, for I expected, if I did not defeat you, to hold out much longer, and give you more trouble before I surrendered.'"


"'I saw my evil day at hand. The sun rose dim on us in the morning, and at night is sunk in a dark cloud, and looked like a ball of fire.'"


"'We told them to let us alone; but they followed on and beset our paths, and they coiled themselves among us like the snake.'"

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

"'I am much grieved, for I expected, if I did not defeat you, to hold out much longer, and give you more trouble before I surrendered.'"

Explanation:

The given quotes are taken from the "1832 Surrender Speech" of the Indian leader Black Hawk. The speech details his regret in being unable to defend his people against the white men and also his surrender to their hands.

Among the given quotes from the speech, the lines "'I am much grieved, for I expected, if I did not defeat you, to hold out much longer, and give you more trouble before I surrendered.'" best express the major theme of the whole speech. This was because the main point made in the speech was to acknowledge his surrender and also his regret for the unsuccessful attempts to defend his people and their land.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Explanation:

Today we’re talking to Professor Marjorie Brown about life in the future. Let’s start with homes. Professor, what will our homes be like?

Well, they might not look very different from homes today but there will be differences. In twenty years’ time homes will become smaller. This is because more and more people will be living in crowded cities. However, designers will have undoubtedly find the ways of  making small homes which will be more comfortable. For example, the homes of the future will have walls that can be moved so that space can be used in different ways. Scientists also will invent the glass that can change from transparent to black. Transparent glass lets light and heat in and out. Black glass keeps it in. This will help us to control the temperature of our homes.  There will be any other changes to the way we live?  Yes, one major change.

Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial mansion, overlooking the bay. The lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens—finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines as though from the momentum of its run. The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected gold and wide open to the warm windy afternoon, and Tom Buchanan in riding clothes was standing with his legs apart on the front porch. Based on this description of the Buchanans’ house, what inference can be made about many East Egg residents?

Answers

This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find the complete question online. Since the excerpt is the same, I will omit it. The choices are as follows:

Based on this description of the Buchanans' house, what inference can be made about many East Egg residents?

A. They hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances.

B. They commonly ride horses in the afternoon or early evening hours.

C. They are more sophisticated than West Egg residents, because they have less money.

D. They place more importance on the appearance of their homes than in anything else.

Answer:

Based on the description, the inference we can make is:

A. They hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances.

Explanation:

This question refers to "The Great Gatsby," a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), one of the greatest American authors of the 20th century. This novel explores themes such as the moral decadence of the American society as well as the corruption of the American dream.

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the narrator, Nick, is describing the Buchanans' home. Nick is cousin to Daisy Buchanan, who is married to Tom, an "old money" millionaire. The grandeur of their mansion, its beauty and opulence, is nothing but a façade. Those who live inside it are shallow, egotistical, unfaithful people. Tom and Daisy, along with their friend Jordan Baker, live their days trying to escape boredom. To do so, they party, they cheat, and they gossip. Their manners and values are tainted, and their happiness is fake.

With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best inference:

A. They hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances.

Answers

Answer: D. standard English

Explanation:

Standard English is used in formal settings, such as is literature like the excerpt presented in this question, as opposed to non-standard English which is used in informal settings, with family and friends.

Although Standard English began as a regional dialect that emerged in the southeast of England, is now considered the official form to be used in writing, in the education system, court texts, the church, newspapers, and any official writing, and it can be used with different regional accents or without any regional diction.

We know that the excerpt is no using a southern dialect because there are no words like "ain’t" and "y’all", which are common for that dialect.

three problems to develop the school​

Answers

Explanation:

Classroom Size

Many areas of the country are facing classrooms that are literally busting out at the seams. A report at NEA Today two years ago discussed how schools in Georgia, in the midst of major funding cuts for schools, had no choice but to lift all class size limits to accommodate students with the faculty the school system could still afford to keep. More recently, Fairfax County in Virginia has been looking into a proposal to increase classroom sizes in the face of significant budget cuts. The Board of Education in South Carolina is also weighing their options in this area.

Poverty

Technorati reported last fall that 22 percent of the children in the U.S. live at or below poverty level. American Graduate defines poverty as a family of four with an annual income level of $23,050 or lower. American Graduate also cites a report from the Southern Education Foundation, which shows in 17 states across the U.S., low-income students now comprise the majority of public school students in those states. Some estimates put poverty levels for public school students at 25% in the not-so-distant future.

Family Factors

Family factors also play a role in a teacher’s ability to teach students. Principals and teachers agree that what is going on at home will impact a student’s propensity to learn. Divorce, single parents, poverty, violence and many other issues are all challenges a student brings to school every day. While some teachers and administrators try to work with children in less than ideal family environments, they can only do so much – especially when parents are often not willing to partner with the schools to provide for the children.
