Which part of this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln second inaugural address that Lincoln believed slavery was an unjust practice
On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil-war. All dreaded it - all sought
to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent
agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war - seeking to dissolve the Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties
deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish.
And the war came.
One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These
slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate,
and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war: while the government claimed no Dy right to
do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has
already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked
for an easler triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read thè same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His
aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of
other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered
fully.

Someone please answer this. the passage is. i’ll give you brainliest.


“Open your eyes!” the voice commanded. “We must hurry away from here!”

I blinked again. Before me sat a girl, her right cheek scarred . . . , her eyes swollen with fatigue.

’Twas Isabel, who was my friend.

I blinked for the third time and took a deep breath. Isabel’s hands lay in her lap, bleeding from torn blisters. The handles of both oars were bloodstained where she had gripped them.

Like a flint hitting steel, a memory sparked, then flared.

Isabel had freed me from the Bridewell Prison. She’d rowed a boat, this ancient boat, all night long. Rowed us away from Manhattan, the British army, and those who owned us.

The memory exploded.

We are free!

I stood, legs quivering, head pounding, heart leaping. “You did it! How? Don’t matter. Country, you did it!”

She shook her head violently and pulled me back down to my seat, a shaky finger on her lips to quiet me. “Hush!”

“But it’s wondrous,” I said, voice low. “Is it not?”

“Yes,” she whispered. “No.” The wind swirled a veil of snow between us. “Perhaps.”

“Do you know of a safe house hereabouts?” I asked. “The name of folks who would help us?”

“We have to help ourselves.” She looked over her shoulder at the field beyond the riverbank. “We have a handful of silver coins, some meat, and a map. I forged a pass too, but the river ruined it.” She wrung out the water from the bottom of her skirt. “We have to walk to Charleston.” . . .

The river gurgled and tugged, trying to pull the boat back into the current. I clutched at the sides of the unsteady craft and shivered. Isabel had brought us this far. Now it was up to me.

But how?

We were escaped slaves, half froze and exhausted. We needed to warm ourselves, sleep, and eat. But above all, we had to stay hidden. The business of returning or selling runaways was profitable for both redcoats and rebels.

I tallied our advantages: A few coins. Food enough for a few meals. Disadvantages: No horse. No gun. No one to trust.

A large piece of ice floated down the river as the second truth crackled in me.

This freedom could kill us.

In Shakespeare's play, the powerful are ultimately powerless. To what extent do you agree?

Excerpt from Changing the Curriculum
Natalie Stewart
In the hot, stuffy meeting room, cheers and applause broke through the oppressive air. Teachers and faculty members were
sitting around several large tables, looking up at Randall with admiration. Randall was relieved that the meeting was over.
His thoughts drifted back to the start of the school year.
Randall's fourth period English class seemed to drag on forever. The assigned reading list his teacher had handed out in the
beginning of class was a huge disappointment to this book lover, the curriculum was stale like week-old bread. After
analyzing the list at the dinner table, his parents remarked that they had read many of the books assigned to Randall's class.
Teachers were subjecting today's students to a thirty-year-old reading list! This didn't make any sense to Randall. Though he
understood the value of classical literature, Randall felt that the curriculum needed a better balance of old and new.
The author uses words like stuffy, oppressive, and stale in order to
A)
make the scenes more realistic.
B)
add to the sense of excitement.
C) to make the article more colorful.
D)create sympathy for Randall’s cause.

The author conveys the joy in the excerpt through the use of an allusion. anaphora. a metaphor. repetition.

Which group of words from the passage best helps the reader understand the meaning of the word extinction?
The Extinction of Dinosaurs
We all know that at one time dinosaurs roamed the surface of Earth. But it has been 65 million years since they died out. They thrived on the
planet for many years, along with a vast number of other organisms and animals. How did the dinosaurs go extinct?
Scientists formed many theories about what caused the death of this entire species. They included climate change, continental shifts, and
volcanoes.
Eventually, one theory began to suggest that the cause of the dinosaurs' extinction was the crash of an asteroid on Earth's surface. It was a huge
asteroid (about 10 kilometers in width) that crashed against Earth. Its crash made a gigantic crater in Mexico. The crash caused total climatic shifts
and changes in the temperature of the atmosphere. The crash also produced a great gas cloud around Earth that resulted in total darkness. It was
this explosion that might have led to the complete extinction of the dinosaurs from the face of Earth.
