Letter to a Citizen of Kentucky, an excerpt

Executive Mansion, Washington,
April 4, 1864.
A. G. Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky.

My Dear Sir:
You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally stated the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows:
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel; and yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially in this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it in my view that I might take the oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power.
I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times and in many ways; and I aver that, to this day I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government, that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution?
By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life, but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether.
When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident...

Yours truly,

A. Lincoln

Lincoln's decision to arm black soldiers occurred at what point? (4 points)

a
As soon as he realized military emancipation would not work

b
As soon as he was convinced that Northern generals would agree

c
Only once he was convinced it was necessary to save the Union

d
Only once he was convinced that Southerners would abolish slavery

Hamlet character is complex in the excerpt because his loyalty to his ally endures hardship

Answers

Answer:

His erratic behavior confuses his friend.

Explanation:

The following passage is the one you were given. It's a part of Act III of Hamlet, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare:

Rosencrantz: My lord, you once did love me.

Hamlet: So I do still, by these pickers and stealers.

Rosencrantz: Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper? You do surely bar the door upon your own liberty, if you deny your griefs to your friend.

Hamlet: Sir, I lack advancement.

Rosencrantz: How can that be when you have the voice of the king himself for your succession in Denmark?

Hamlet: Ay, sir, but 'While the grass grows,'—the proverb is something musty.

The options you were given are the following:

His loyalty to his ally endures hardship. His erratic behavior confuses his friend. His desire for revenge defines him. His quest for political power is unwavering.

The given dialogue takes place between Hamlet and his childhood friend, Rosencrantz, who was summoned along with Guildenstern by King Claudius to distract Hamlet from his apparent madness and if possible to discover the cause of it. We can see that Hamlet's behavior has become erratic (Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper?) and that Rosencrantz is confused by it. He asks many questions, wanting to see what is on Hamlet's mind. This is why the second option is the correct one.

Answer:

B. his erratic behavior confuses his friend.

Time is potent, we all heard since our childhood. Time, like a grain of sand, slips out of our hands and we only keep gazing at it hunting for the tactics to combat the glissading precious moments of ours. The moments and opportunities we hold most dear, with time, just like the sand in the hourglass, skid away. We only are, then, left with the regrets of not grasping the opportunities, despondently craving for the one single chance to swish back in time and fix the deeds for our deepest regrets.

Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,[xxii]
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

Answers

Answer:

Separation of powers

Explanation:

In this quote from Baron de Montesquieu, he stated that if the legislative and executive arms of government are aways in unity then, the checks and balances that should be in government would be absent and this would result in a lack of liberty.

The arms of government are supposed to have a separation of powers or a high degree of independence so that one arm of government does not assume an authoritarian disposition that would lead to a loss of liberty for the people.

What is Billy looking for in story "The Landlady"?

"The Landlady" is a short horror story  by Roald Dahl that is a dark and terrifying story of a 17-year-old Billy Weaver.

The overall theme of 'The Landlady' is that one should not judge a book by its cover. It is shown in the book that danger lurks everywhere, even when not expected. Billy sees no danger in landlady and completely believes in  landlady's kindness and her appearance.

Billy decides to stay in the hotel because its cheap and looks fine for staying in. Billy thinks that the Landlady is harmless because she is very kind and welcoming.

In the story 'The Landlady,' Billy Weaver believes that the landlady is  somewhat odd because she's quite forgetful. He refers to her by saying 'slightly dotty. ' She seems odd because she has a boardinghouse with no guests.

In story 'The Landlady', readers are left in suspense as the story ends after Billy asks the landlady if anyone else has visited the hotel in the last 2-3 years, to which the landlady answers "Only you."

A greedy fox stealthily entered a garden to eat the grapes. But its tail was cut down by a trap when it tried to escape from the trap.

It worried because all other foxes would mock at its lost tall. Hence it planned a trick.

When all foxes ridiculed it and said, "I have cut down the tail myself because it is a great hindrance. Now I am free and happy without my tail. So you too cut down your tails. It will be very convenient to all of you."

An old wise fox laughed at the tricky fox and said, "I will also join you after losing my tail when I try to steal the grapes. It looks very nice to be with a tail and I am proud of it."

Now all other faxes understood the trick of the fox and mocked at it. The ashamed fox ran away into the forest.

All the rhetorical resources used by Lincoln in his speeches, had as main objective, to create a discourse rich of information, which had the capacity to move the public to different aspects and tried to expose true, deep and proven arguments, through all the details of support and evidence.

All of this impacts the public in different ways, but all positive, stimulating the public's support for what is being talked about. Lincoln knew how to do this with mastery and for that reason, his speeches are remembered today, as speeches of great social impact.

Read the excerpt from White Fang. "Kiche!" the man cried again, this time with sharpness and authority. And then the cub saw his mother, the she-wolf, the fearless one, crouching down till her belly touched the ground, whimpering, wagging her tail, making peace signs. The cub could not understand. He was appalled. The awe of man rushed over him again. His instinct had been true. His mother verified it. She, too, rendered submission to the man-animals. Which best states the perspective of White Fang in the excerpt? A: She is preparing to attack the man to show her authority

Answers

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. Since the excerpt is the same, I will omit it:

Which best states the perspective of White Fang's mother in the excerpt?

A. She is preparing to attack the man to show her authority.

B. She is puzzled by her cub's actions in front of the man.

C. She is confused about how she should act in front of  the man.

D. She is hoping to please the man by showing her obedience.

Answer:

The option which best states the perspective of White Fang's mother in this excerpt is:

C. She is confused about how she should act in front of  the man.

Explanation:

"White Fang" is a novel by author Jack London.

This is a tricky question, especially if we do not know what happens previously in the story. If we only read this particular excerpt and try to answer based on it, we will most likely choose letter D. However, that should not be the case. Take a look at how White Fang's mother acts in the previous paragraph:

She bounded in amongst them, her anxious and militant motherhood making her anything but a pretty sight. But to the cub the spectacle of her protective rage was pleasing. He uttered a glad little cry and bounded to meet her, while the man-animals went back hastily several steps. The she-wolf stood over against her cub, facing the men, with bristling hair, a snarl rumbling deep in her throat. Her face was distorted and malignant with menace, even the bridge of the nose wrinkling from tip to eyes so prodigious was her snarl.

White Fang's mother is confused and unsure about how to act. At first, she seems vicious, ready to attack the men to protect her cub. However, once a man yells "Kiche" with an imperative tone of voice, she changes her mind and acts submissively, which confuses White Fang. She is not necessarily trying to please the man. She is merely responding to his authority. She went from being enraged to being afraid, since the man's actions confused her. Therefore, the best option is letter C. She is confused about how she should act in front of  the man.
