In one part of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stow, Mrs. Shelby has just discovered that her husband has agreed to sell two of their slaves, including the adult Tom and a young boy. Mrs. Shelby pleads with him to reconsider. The following excerpt is Mr. Shelby's explanation of their predicament.

I'm sorry you feel so about it,—indeed I am, said Mr. Shelby; and I respect your feelings, too, though I don't pretend to share them to their full extent; but I tell you now, solemnly, it's of no use—I can't help myself. I didn't mean to tell you this Emily; but, in plain words, there is no choice between selling these two and selling everything. Either they must go, or all must. Haley has come into possession of a mortgage, which, if I don't clear off with him directly, will take everything before it. I've raked, and scraped, and borrowed, and all but begged,—and the price of these two was needed to make up the balance, and I had to give them up. Haley fancied the child; he agreed to settle the matter that way, and no other. I was in his power and had to do it. If you feel so to have them sold, would it be any better to have all sold?

You might remember that the author of this passage was bitterly opposed to slavery. What response was she hoping her readers would have to Mr. Shelby's logic?


A. They would agree that selling the slaves was necessary but extremely unfortunate.

B. They would believe that Mr. Shelby could easily find a way to make everyone happy.

C. They would agree with Mr. Shelby that he had no other choice than to sell the slaves.

D. They would find Mr. Shelby's decision cruel in spite of the reason he gives for the decision.

Answer:

I think its A but u might wait and see if anyone else comments !

Explanation My reasoning is because she's upset that she has to sale the 2 slaves but isn't very opposed to caring about their well being just how much money and what they do for them and it was necessary because he has got something into his possession he cannot risk losing.

The Corrective and suitable statement for the given passage is A, and that is they would agree that selling the slaves was necessary but extremely unfortunate.

During the early stage the Selling of slaves was done on the higher stage and its also called Human selling , the major part of human selling was took in Africa and done on the large scale .

As shelby and her husband both were decided  to sell the young salves including the tom and a very young boy , Mrs. Shelby felt so depressed and negative while selling them and not liking at all .

What can you infer about Sally Ann based on the passage below:


This answer did not satisfy Susan and she often thought about it. To enter the mill, to stand quietly and look about, was the best kind of entertainment, for she was fascinated by the whir of the looms, by the nimble fingers of the weavers, and by the general air of efficiency. Admiringly she watched Sally Ann Hyatt, the tall capable weaver from Vermont. When the yarn on the beam was tangled or there was something wrong with the machinery, Elijah, the overseer, always called out to Sally Ann, "I'll tend your loom, if you'll look after this." Sally Ann never failed to locate the trouble or to untangle the yarn. Yet she was never made overseer, and this continued to puzzle Susan.

A.Sally Ann was from Vermont.

B.Sally Ann was entertaining to watch.

C.Sally Ann was a weaver in the mill.

D.Sally Ann knew more than the overseer.

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. Now the examinations began. First, the immigrants were examined by two doctors of the United States Health Service. One doctor looked for physical and mental abnormalities. When a case aroused suspicion, the immigrant received a chalk mark on the right shoulder for further inspection: L for lameness, H for heart, X for mental defects, and so on. The second doctor watched for contagious and infectious diseases. He looked especially for infections of the scalp and at the eyelids for symptoms of trachoma, a blinding disease. Since trachoma caused more than half of all medical detentions, this doctor was greatly feared. He stood directly in the immigrant's path. With a swift movement, he would grab the immigrant's eyelid, pull it up, and peer beneath it. If all was well, the immigrant was passed on.
Which detail best supports the idea that only immigrants with good health were allowed entrance into the United States?
(a) One doctor drew chalk marks on immigrants with health problems.
(b) The two doctors worked for the United States Health Service.
(c) An H mark on an immigrant meant he or she had heart problems.
(d) Trachoma is a blinding and very contagious eye disease.

As an 11-year-old, my response to losing Clemente was to put together an album of photos clipped from newspaper stories. Since then I've read books and numerous stories about him and also watched documentaries of his life.

I didn't think I would learn much more about Clemente on this visit, and yet a few days ago my father, now a retired physician, told me of the time in the late 1960s when the perennial All-Star came to his office.

Seeking treatment for the back trouble that dogged him for much of his career, Clemente sat among the other patients and patiently waited his turn. It was an ordinary gesture by an extraordinary man, one that made his legend just a bit bigger in my eyes.

Read the following excerpt from President Obama's 2009 speech on education, and then write an objective summary of it in the space provided.

Passage: Maybe you could be a great writer, maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper — but you might not know it until you write that English class paper assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor — maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine — but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice — but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
