GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

What is the main point of the "Give Me Liberty" excerpt?

Read the excerpt from E.O. Wilson's "The Environmental Ethic."
Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also
pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth or
more of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020
unless better efforts are made to save them.... As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the
Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world as a whole, extinction
rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They cannot be
balanced by new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.
What message does the author convey in this excerpt?

Answers

Answer:

In recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased.

Explanation:

The message that the author of the given passage conveys is that, in recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased.

3 . We were at a disadvantage ____ that we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using.
- by
- with
- for
- in

Answers

Answer:

We were at a disadvantage in that that we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the correct preposition to be used is "in". This is because "in" will introduce the argument or provide an explanation for the statement before the blank.

With the use of "in", the statement "we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using" provides an explanation for the first statement "[W]e were at a disadvantage". Whereas the use of the prepositions "by", "with", and "for" are incorrect.

Thus, the correct answer is "in".

Answers

Answer:

A) Peace is often most appreciated after it has been lost.

Explanation:

I took the test

The theme that is best illustrated in the statement is - Sharing difficult experiences can strengthen friendships.

What is Peace?

In the absence of animosity and violence, peace is the idea of communal friendship and harmony. Peace is frequently used to refer to a lack of conflict and the absence of the threat of violence between individuals or groups in society.

Though possibly less clearly defined, "psychological peace" (such as tranquil thoughts and emotions) is frequently a requirement before achieving "behavioral peace." Sometimes a "quiet inner disposition" manifests itself in peaceful behavior. Some people have the opinion that peace can be started with an inner calmness that is independent of the uncertainties of daily life.

The development of such a "calm internal disposition" for oneself and others might aid in settling conflicting interests that might otherwise appear to be insurmountable. Despite the fact that we feel joyful when we are enthusiastic, serenity is a condition of peaceful satisfaction in the mind.

Why is it significant that Elizabeth Proctor would not tell the court of her husband’s infidelity?

Answers

Answer:

When the judge asked her if John had turned from her, Elizabeth said that he had not. Without realizing it, Elizabeth had just sealed her husband's fate. John cried out that he had admitted the truth, but the damage was done. His testimony was rejected.

Elizabeth assumed that she was doing good by, ironically, lying to the court. She most probably believed that the accusation of lechery had been brought by Abigail and that she would clear his name if she lied. Furthermore, she wished to present an image of a loyal husband and father who was righteous. She was convinced that presenting the court with this positive image would favor her husband and would exonerate him from any wrongdoing. Therein lies probably the greatest irony, for he had already confessed to having had an illicit affair with Abigail. Ironically, also, is that if she had told the truth, the outcome would have been completely different.

Contemplate the significance of Higgins’s reaction to the landscape outside his mother’s window and what it says about his character. Compare the settings of their two homes as described by the author and reflect on the subsequent character traits those settings would indicate.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Higgins' reaction to the landscape shows the discrepancy of his behavior with the society to which he is inserted. The landscape is delicate, beautiful, soothing and inspiring. Higgins however, presents a rude and rude behavior, showing that although he is part of that world of appearances, he behaves differently and completely contradicts both, that he completely ignores the landscape, as he completely ignores the people of his social cycle .

It also shows how Higgins had no interest in cultivating contacts and friendships, as he prefers to be in the company of his studies and whoever wants to share them. Perhaps for this reason, he shows a certain attachment to Eliza, because she is totally alien to that society, is friendly and willing to get to know him without taking appearance and possession into consideration.

How did the Black Death change the political, economic, and social institutions of Europe?

Answers

Answer: The plague had social and economic impacts on a wide scale, many of which are documented in the Decameron introduction. People were abandoning their friends and families, leaving towns and shutting themselves out of the city. Funeral rites were perfunctory or entirely ended, and work ceased to be performed. Some felt that the wrath of God fell upon man, and thus battled with prayer against the plague. Some thought that the proverb, "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may die." should be obeyed.

Which quotation from the essay best supports Gandhi's belief that the railways in India provide appalling service to its customers?

"At one place an important railway servant swore at a protestant, threatened to strike him and locked the door over the passengers whom he had with difficulty squeezed in."

"It was labelled to carry 22 passengers. These could only have seating accommodation. There were no bunks in this carriage whereon passengers could lie with any degree of safety or comfort."

"Now and then I have entered into correspondence with the management of the different railways about the defects that have come under my notice."

"The carriage was packed already and but for a friend's intervention I could not have been able to secure even a seat. My admission was certainly beyond the authorised number."

Answers

Answer:

"At one place an important railway servant swore at a protestant, threatened to strike him and locked the door over the passengers whom he had with difficulty squeezed in."

Explanation:

This seems to be the clearest description of appalling service: a railroad employee swearing at a customer and squeezing in too many passengers.

The other statements express inconvenient or deficient service, all describe problems with overcrowding.

B)“The same telegraph that had warned Ogden Station to hold the midnight express sent news of Kate’s bravery from city to city.”

C)“Then the people of Iowa awarded her a gold medal, and the railroad gave her one hundred dollars and a lifetime railroad pass.”

D)“While Kate lay in bed recovering from that terrible night, every train passing the farmhouse blew its whistle in her honor.”

Answers

Answer:

C)“Then the people of Iowa awarded her a gold medal, and the railroad gave her one hundred dollars and a lifetime railroad pass.”

Explanation:

The detail from “Run, Kate Shelley, Run” that best supports the idea that people feel Kate should be rewarded for her actions is option C.

This is because, the people are awed by what Kate has done and truly believe that she should be fairly compensated and for that they gave her a gold medal, the railroad gave her a hundred dollars and a lifetime pass.

The detail that most adequately backs the idea that people believe Kate must be given reward for her deeds would be:

C). “Then the people of Iowa awarded her a gold medal, and the railroad gave her one hundred dollars and a lifetime railroad pass.”

The quotation "Then...pass" most adequately backs the idea regarding people's opinion that Kate needs to rewarded for her noble actions. The detail about her receiving "gold medal...one hundred dollars...railroad pass" shows that her actions require a better and fair reward. This also shows people owe her a lot and therefore, wants to compensate her for it.
