Read the passage from a student's response to an op-
ed
(1) Standardized college admissions tests determine
not only who will be admitted to colleges and
universities, but also who will win scholarships. (2) Yet
data show that students who cannot afford expensive,
small-group test-prep courses tend to do worse on
these tests than their wealthier peers. (3) To ensure a
fair chance for all of our students, our school should
offer a free test-prep course for all students taking
college admissions tests. (4) It is the right thing to do.
Which sentence states the writer's claim?
O sentence 1
O sentence 2
sentence 3
O sentence 4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Sentence 3

Explanation:

The given passage tells us about a problem many future college freshmen are facing. Many students can't afford courses that would help them get ready for the entrance exams, which is why those who are wealthy and those who are not don't get the equal opportunity to enroll in colleges they like or get a scholarship. In sentence 3, the author claims that their school should offer a free test-prep course for all students. That is their personal opinion on the matter, a claim they are making. This is why sentence 3 is the correct option.

Answer 2

The claim is made to assert the ideas and thoughts of an individual over some issue. Sentence 3 about ensuring fair chance states the writer's claim. Thus, option c is correct.

In at least 100 words explain what the concept of American Exceptionalism means and how it first came about.

Answers

Answer:

American exceptionalism is a view of the United States of America that the country sees its history as inherently different from that of other nations, stemming from its emergence from the American Revolution, becoming what the political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset called "the first new nation" and developing a uniquely American ideology, "Americanism", based on liberty, equality before the law, individual responsibility, republicanism, representative democracy, and laissez-faire economics. This ideology itself is often referred to as "American exceptionalism." Second is the idea that America has a unique mission to transform the world. President Abraham Lincoln stated in the Gettysburg address during the American Civil War, in reference to the preservation of the United States itself, Americans have a duty to ensure, "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Third is the sense that America's history and its mission give it a superiority over other nations.

Answer:

American Exceptionalism is a concept that holds the belief that America, as a country, is inherently separate from other nations because of its historical upbringing. Because the country was founded off of the ideas and principles of freedom and breaking off from tyrannical power, a new ideology was brought about called "Americanism," or American Exceptionalism. The terms are also used to describe how America can easily be seen in the act of beginning to change the world with its ideas, culture, and freedoms. Another aspect of American Exceptionalism is the belief that America is superior to other nations because of its history as well as the freedom and power it gives to the people of the nation.

Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.

They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters,
who showed no will to do us harm, only
offering the sweet Lotus to our friends—
but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus,
never cared to report, nor to return:
they longed to stay forever, browsing on
that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland.
I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: All hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.

McMurdo moved his lodgings from old Jacob Shafter’s and took up his quarters at the Widow MacNamara’s on the extreme outskirts of the town. Scanlan, his original acquaintance aboard the train, had occasion shortly afterwards to move into Vermissa, and the two lodged together. There was no other boarder, and the hostess was an easy-going old Irishwoman who left them to themselves; so that they had a freedom for speech and action welcome to men who had secrets in common.

Shafter had relented to the extent of letting McMurdo come to his meals there when he liked; so that his intercoursebq with Ettie was by no means broken.

2. It was wrong to deceive Mr. Nuttel, primarily because we should not use people for our entertainment, moreover, Mr. Nuttel did not have a nervous disorder that was aggravated by Vera's behavior and this type of disturbance is very agonizing and harmful to someone.

What do the two animals depicted in Blake’s poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” symbolize? Explain how these depict the contradictions in nature with examples from the poems to support your analysis. Thanks :)

Answers

Answer:

The tiger: theme

The Existence of Evil: the tiger poses a problem: everything about it seems to embody fear, danger, and terror. In a series of questions, the speaker of “The Tyger” wonders whether this creature was really created by the same God who made the world’s gentle and joyful creatures. And if the tiger was created by God, why did God choose to create such a fearsome animal? Through the example of the tiger, the poem examines the existence of evil in the world, asking the same question in many ways: if God created everything and is all-powerful, why does evil exist?

The lamb: "The Lamb," is able to identify God as the creator of the lamb because the small creature seems to represent joy, love, and freedom—but the tiger is an entirely different figure altogether. The poem does imply that God created the tiger too, but in the tiger's threat of violence and capacity for killing, it's harder for human beings to understand God's motivations for creating it. Essentially, the main aim of the poem is to flesh out this mystery, and to hint at possible answers.
