Romeo: If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this;
My lips two blushing pilgrims ready stand
to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
which mannerly devotion shows in this,
for saints have hands that pilgrims’ hand do touch,
and palm to palm is holy palmer’s kiss.

Romeo: Have not saints’ lips and holy palmer’s too?
Juliet: Aye, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
Romeo: O, then, dear saint let lips do what hands do
they pray; grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

Juliet: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake
Romeo: Then move not while my prayer’s effect I take.

Explanation:

Lincoln joined a volunteer company in the Black Hawk War in 1832. He served only three months in the war, and he never saw battle. Even so, Lincoln considered this event to be one of the greatest successes of his life. The men in his company elected him captain, and Lincoln was very proud of, yet humbled by, their confidence in him. How does this source add to the reader's understanding of Lincoln? It shows that he was frightened by battles and war. It shows that he took his leadership roles seriously. It shows that he had only a few successes in his life. It shows that he had too much confidence in himself.

Answers

Answer:

This source adds to the reader's understanding of Lincoln in the sense that:

B. It shows that he took his leadership roles seriously.

Explanation:

According to the passage, one of the reasons why Lincoln considered his time in the war successful was the fact that he was elected captain by the men in his company. That already shows Lincoln values his role as a leader. But the passage also makes a point of mentioning that he was "very proud of, yet humbled by, their confidence in him." This information lets us know that he was not an overly confident men. Maybe he wouldn't have volunteered himself to become a captain but, since the men trusted him, he was happy to do it. With that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option:

B. It shows that he took his leadership roles seriously.

Wireless Controller Complications

Wireless video game controllers can sometimes be problematic, but in most cases there is an easy fix. One very common issue is that the controller will not stay connected. To resolve this problem, move closer to your gaming equipment. It also helps to move other nearby wireless devices, so that they do not interfere with your wireless signal. Sometimes the controller may lose connection because it simply does not have enough power. This dilemma can easily be solved by charging or replacing the batteries. If your wireless game controller is not acting properly, move closer, clear away other devices, and make sure it is properly charged.

A rebuttal refers to a response to an opponent's counterclaim, addressing the counterclaim and arguing why the opponent's argument is not solid, and disproving it with evidence.  

In this case the following comment is a counterclaim by an opponent who disagrees with the authors original argument: "We need to encourage kids to get more exercise. New sports facilities would inspire kids to get outside more and get moving. I’m all for it. "

The Sequoia Nature Preserve has miles of paths where people walk, even jog. And when kids are walking in the forest, they area also breathing cleaner air and the surroundings are peaceful—it’s a healthy environment for people to get exercise and just get away from city life.
