read the following passage from “resistance to civil government” by Henry David Thoreau:
Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. it does not keep the country free. it does not settle the west. it does not educate. the character inherent in the american people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way.

how does Thoreau use a parallelism in this passage?

a. to emphasize the words “but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way”

b. to draw attention to what the american people do that the government doesn’t

c. to add the surprising revelation that the government gets in the way of progress

d. to compare the government to an obstacle, such as a tall mountain or river

Answers

Answer 1

C would be the answer

The use of parallelism within the passage does insinuate that the government is but an obstacle obstructing advancement, but there was nothing that hinted the government to being as obstructive as a mountain/river, so D is out.

The other answers are simply irrelevant

terribly profound. Company was irksome to me when alone, I could fill my mind with the sights of heaven and earth; the voice of Henry soothed

A. neighbors’


B. neighbor’s

Answers

A. neighbors’

N the first frantic greetings lavished on himself as a noted sufferer under the overthrown system, it had been accorded to him to have Charles Darnay brought before the lawless Court, and examined. Which type of phrase is the underlined portion of the sentence?

Answers

Answer:

C). Adverbial phrase.

Explanation:

An adverbial clause is described as a subordinate clause that functions as an adverb within the main clause. It functions as an adverb either to modify a verb, phrase, adjective, or even any other adverb.

The highlighted part of the sentence i.e. 'before the lawless court' demonstrates 'an adverbial clause.' It is beginning with subordinating conjunction 'before' which makes it a dependent clause and it acts as an adverb to describe the verb 'brought' by providing details about the place where the action took place. Thus, option c is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A comma shows a break or pause in a sentence. A comma is used to separate independent clauses therefore it can be said that the first and second half of the sentence in question can be said as two different sentences.

A comma brings together two phrases or clauses. It is a useful punctuation mark which is used to indicate to readers a certain separation of words, phrases, clauses or ideas in order to prevent misreading or misunderstanding what the writer intended to say. It is important to know where exactly in a sentence to insert a comma so you can convey the meaning of your sentence perfectly.

Which point from the speech most validly supports Warren's argument that wage discrimination against women currently exists?


"Women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation."

"Today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans."

"When I started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women."

"I honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014."

Answers

A is the answer because of the emphasis on "today", which helps to highlight that women still earn less than men.

B is tempting, but "unequal pay" is vague, and the answer is too focused on the education of women.

C doesn't offer any good explanation.

D is trivial

EXERCISE VII: Read the passage and do the tasks below. Choose no more than THREE WORDS from the reading text that have the same meaning as the given definition to fill in each blank.

While couples without a clear or equal chore division may encounter quarrels over who does what, a recent survey finds the divorce rate among couples sharing chores equally is about fifty percent higher than those in which wives do more or most of the housework, which can be a slap in the face for gender equality.

The researchers explain that modern couples organize their marriage and work out the tasks and duties, which may gradually turn their marriage into a business or contractual relationship. The woman may gradually feel less needed or happy and what's worse is that no one would care to help if something is not among their assigned chores. That seems to encourage conflicts rather than conflict resolution skills.

On the contrary, in families without equal task division women tend to be responsible for more chores than men. While they believe they can exchange their roles for their husbands', many women believe they are most naturally suited for certain tasks. They simply enjoy being involved in their children's activities, which means more chores for them. This group of women also report more marital satisfaction.

The survey also aimed to find out whether women's were happier if men shared more of the burden. In fact, they find that men report fewer family conflicts and greater well-being while women appear to be largely unmoved. This may be partly because they feel less guilty or simply learn how to have a quiet life.

Lens Quotation: "Character is what you are in the dark." -Dwight Lyman Moody

Answers

Answer:

A Christian Saint John of the Cross recorded the ´dark night of the soul´ to explain the movement from sin to true virtue.  

Explanation:

In the book, it is written about the toil and tribulation which directs the wrong-doer to a good virtue of the works of the Creator of living, which will eventually direct him on to significant peace.

The nature of the individual who is searching to receive God's courtesy is tried out in the shadows of their own arrogance.

Although that person may carry out righteous acts prior to others and themselves, the sincerity of a person's nature, which God will eventually decide, rests within their inner wanting for a greater spiritual state.

Explanation:

the christian mystic saint john of the cross wrote about the ´dark night of the soul´ to describe the passage from sin towards true righteousness. he writes about the toil and tribulation which leads the sinner towards a greater appreciation of the works of god, which will ultimately lead him on to greater self-peace and fortitude.

before one can strive for the rewards of the blessings of god there must be some sort of test of character which proves that the holy spirit allows the individual to partake in the holiness which is bestowed by god. the progress from an initial state, where the character of the individual is in a raw unworked   form, towards a final end where the person will receive the love of god in a full manifestation, is only brought about through a test of character.

the character of the person who is looking to receive god's grace is tested in the shadows of their own pride. even though that person may perform righteous acts before others and themselves, the truth of a person's character,   which god will ultimately judge, lies within their interior wanting for a higher spiritual state.

the desire for spiritual pleasure is not the same as attaining a higher revelation of god's glory. as such, humility is very important as well as temperance in striving towards the highest light. to contemplate the darkness of our own soul implies a test of character beyond spiritual vice.

These are described in the article about the labours and sanctification that guide the incorrect-doer to a better nature of a Creator's projects of living that will ultimately lead him to meaningful peace. The essence of the person who wants to gain the dignity of God is being sought out in the darkness of their very own ignorance. While the individual will commit holy acts before others and themselves, the truth of the essence of a individual which will ultimately be determined by God lies throughout the inner desire for a stronger psychological nature.

What is Character is what you are in the dark about?

The saying “Character is what you are in the dark” by Dwight Lyman Moody, can mean many different things. One being, “you are most yourself when no one is watching”, another one also being, “dark and troubled times bring out a person's true nature”, and “your true nature is on the inside”.
