Answer:
Explanation:
The proverbial saying 'power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely' conveys the opinion that, as a person's power increases, their moral sense diminishes. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" is the best known quotation of the 19th century British politician Lord Acton. He borrowed the idea from several other writers who had previously expressed the same thought in different words. Absolute monarchies are those in which all power is given to or, as is more often the case, taken by, the monarch. Examples of absolute power having a corrupting influence are Roman emperors (who declared themselves gods) and Napoleon Bonaparte (who declared himself an emperor).

Answer:
A. The names of the winning couple are announced—Ryan and Cora. Cora cries tears of joy. --> 5. resolution
B. The crowd cheers the couples on the dance floor. Ryan and Cora are dancing well, but Cora feels stabs of pain. Still, she is determined not to let Ryan down. --> 3. climax

Explanation:
Exposition is the very beginning a story, where the author introduces the characters, the setting and other elements or pieces of information that will contextualize the story.
Rising action takes place after the introduction, the exposition. It is usually an event in a plot that creates the condition for conflicts to appear.
Climax is the moment of most tension in the plot, when the biggest conflict needs to be solved by the main characters.
Falling action is the opposite of rising action, taking place after the climax and being characterized by a decrease in tension. We can already see where things are going to end.
Finally, resolution is the conclusion of the story, its closing.
Let's put each part of the story in its correct place so that you can see how the plot unfolds according to the explanation above:
C. Ryan and Cora walk to the school gym. They are ready to compete in the dance contest. --> 1. exposition

Should graffiti be illegal, yes or no? Give reasons or evidence to support your claim.
Answer:
I do believe graffiti should be illegal.
Explanation:
The official definition of graffiti is, "writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place". Meaning that graffiti is a form of vandalism. And because vandalism is illegal, I don't think any other forms of it should be considered 'ok'. That is my opinion on the subject. Note my 'opinion'.
Answer:
Graffiti that hasn't been approved should be illegal. It cost money to get the graffiti covered or removed. It is considered vandalism anyway when someone pains or draws on someone else property without their approval. So, yes, graffiti should be illegal IF it hasn't been approved by the county or the owners or county area etc.

16. The word insurrection contains the Latin prefixes in-, meaning "not, opposite,
and sur, meaning "above, on top of." Use this information as well as your
knowledge of the Latin root -rect- to choose the correct definition of insurrection.
a. uprising, rebellion
b. order, command
battle, brawl
d. strategy, plan
C.
Answer:
order, command
Explanation:
-rect- is a Latin root word which could mean order or command in traditional usage. It connotes to rule or guide in a orderly manner.

Which statement states the central idea of the passage?
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The others are opinionated or just details
Use the following excerpt to answer the question.
"To help manage the national government, monarchs hired loyal civil servants typically born in the towns and educated at local universities. Their perspectives were national, not regional. The state, in the person of the monarch, now had sovereignty, or the utmost authority in decision making and in maintaining order. Everyone, including the nobles, was subordinate to that authority. . . .With sovereignty, the monarch now had the right to make laws for the entire nation and all its people."
How did the establishment of nations expand the power and reach of government?
Answer:
The laws and policies of national governments affected greater numbers of people.
Explanation:
Remember, from the excerpt after telling us the monarch was the only one with authority to make laws, we are told that, "Everyone, including the nobles, was subordinate to that authority,...With sovereignty, the monarch now had the right to make laws for the entire nation and all its people."
In other words, we can say that the type of national government that existed under this system of government was one where everyone or a greater number of people were affected by the laws and policies instituted.
