Tim is writing an essay on the Chicago fire of 1871, and his thesis statement is below.

After the fire started, several people made key mistakes that allowed the fire to rapidly spread.

Which detail from Jim Murphy’s The Great Fire best supports this thesis?

A.“Chamberlin's distaste for the area and its inhabitants was shared by a great many people living in the city's wealthier sections and would go a long way toward fixing the blame for the Great Fire.”
B.“A few minutes after the second man hurried away, Goll took off his apron, carefully extinguished the store's gaslights, and left, locking the door behind him. Like thousands of other people, he was on his way to De Koven Street to watch the fire.”
C.“For added security, the giant Courthouse bell was also rung. Because of the drought, special Insurance Patrols had been organized and Benjamin Bullwinkle was appointed to head them.”
D.“When they heard Box 342 rung, however, they assumed the fire was out of their territory and unhitched the horses. Only two fire companies were not fooled by the misleading alarm.”

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

 The correct answer is option D.“When they heard Box 342 rung, however, they assumed the fire was out of their territory and unhitched the horses. Only two fire companies were not fooled by the misleading alarm.”

Explanation:

The thesis statement expresses a position on the subject of the text and that answers the question that, as an author, you work on your writing. In other words, it is the position that is defended through arguments to persuade or convince the reader.

The argumentative body constitutes the argumentation itself: the contribution of all kinds of reasoning that allows the author to convince the addressee. These reasons that the author uses to support his thesis are called arguments and with them the author intends to cause the receiver to adhere in some way to his thesis. This adherence can be sometimes intellectual and other times sentimental. Thus, we distinguish rational arguments and affective arguments.

In this case, the option that best supports the thesis statement is option D.

should hate speech be regulated? (in a 5 page essay form)

Answers

Answer:

There is no “hate speech” exception to the First Amendment. Contrary to a common misconception, most expression one might identify as “hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment and cannot lawfully be censored, punished, or unduly burdened by the government — including public colleges and universities.

Answer:

Explanation:

Hate speech is a controversial and often misinterpreted term for speech intended to degrade, intimidate, or incite violence or prejudicial action against an individual or a group of individuals based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. The term has been taken to cover written as well as oral communication.

My starting position is that hate speech is not just one thing; there can be at least four categories of hate speech that we can address.

By the end of this essay I hope to have shown sufficiently which, if any, types of hate speech could be protected by the right of free speech.

Right to free speech and expression

Perhaps in a different era, the two could be seen as distinct, not just by name, but also in context.[1]

The right of free speech is a human, political or civil right recognised and appreciated by states and their citizens. It is the right to communicate one’s opinions and ideas using one’s body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them. It was included in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.[2]

Although freedom of expression is sometimes used within an identical context, it nevertheless includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.

Perhaps the most commonly cited definition is the one given by the United Nations in Art.19 of their UDHR[3] adopted in 1948.[4]

Along the same lines, Art.10 of theECHR[5]provides the right to freedom of expression, subject to certain restrictions that are “in accordance with law” and “necessary in a democratic society”.

It is important to appreciate that the two are largely intertwined, and to be read separately would be of no particular value or help. For the purposes of this essay, I shall regard the two rights as two faces on the same side of a coin.

at the community college. I think she composes
symphonies on the weekends and probably dabbles in
particle physics too - you know, just for laughs.
What most likely true about the author?
A. The author thinks her friend is not very smart
B. The author thinks her friend is too ambitious
C. The author is impressed by her friend
D. The author believes her friend is good at both music and science,

Answers

Answer:

C. The author is impressed by her friend.

Explanation:

According to the given passage, the author details how busy her friend Sadia is. Not only is she active in sports, but she also ills her spare time "tak[ing] classes at the community college."

While clearly impressed by the friend, the author couldn't help but add some facts of her own, just to emphasize the busy schedule of Sadia. She added that she thinks "she composes symphonies on the weekends and probably dabbles in particle physics too", though most probably "for laughs". This phrase shows that this opinion is nothing but her own.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.  

1-what is your reaction to the animals revolution in animal farm

2- how do the pigs gaon rights to the cow's milk? why do the other animals allow this? what does this event suggest about power hirearchy on the farm?

3- do you sympathize with the animals complains and goals? why? why not?​

Answers

Answer:

The revolt against Mr. Jones to take over the farm made me feel like they were right in their doings because of the cruel situation they endured under human care. The idea that farm animals shouldn´t have the fruits of their work taken by humans made me think of how unfair it´s for human workers to be dependant on greedy businesses that take most of the profits from the production.

Explanation:

The pigs take the mil without others noticing, and, when discovered, they rationalize the situation by claiming that it´s better for them to have them because it helps them be intelligent enough to defend all the animals from humans. This shows that despite claiming that all animals are equal, there is a power hierarchy that has the pigs at the top, which is a symbol of the corruption that aroused after the Russian Revolution.

Of course, I agree with the animal´s complaints and goals because I do believe that both humans and animals should have more equal treatment. However, as this story and history itself have shown, equality can not be achieved if corruption and social hierarchy remain.

Write a funny story about the snow man that's goes sledding

Answers

A funny story? alright then...
( I tried my best)
The snowman was lonely, he wanted to sled with the other children running around having fun...but what he didn’t know was, how? He a snowman of course. He couldn’t sled...well until a child left a sled near to him. So while no one is looking he (somehow) got up and jumped on the sled. Then suddenly he slides down somehow “oops” says that dog who came out of nowhere, it was probably jealous on how much attention the children was giving to that...snowman. As the snowman has no arms, literally he falls as the children see a sled and a snowman on it... then turn away, probably confused on how it even got there. Sadly our snowman was turned into snow and joined the rest of his family in the snow...(I wonder how?) “what was that?” the two children looked at the entire scene. the other child just shook her head.
(this was simply something.)

Which one Christmas

In Germany, people honored the pagan god Oden during the mid-winter holiday. Germans were terrified of Oden, as they believed he made nocturnal flights through the sky to observe his people, and then decide who would prosper or perish. Because of his presence, many people chose to stay inside



Christmas is literally “the mass for Christ”, the day on which Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. The western date for Jesus' birth is quite arbitrary. It was chosen by Pope Leo I, bishop of Rome (440-461), to coincide with the Festival of the Saturnalia, when Romans worshipped Saturn, the sun god. Saturnalia was a lawless, drunken time in Rome where literally anything was okay — this was the original Purge, in which laws were suspended for a brief stretch of time.

Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture, liberation and time (and parties!), was celebrated at what is perhaps the most famous of the Roman festivals, the Saturnalia, It was a time of feasting, role reversals, free speech, gift-giving and revelry. (read: gender-bending sex, drinking, telling people off, trading gifts and doing whatever you want).

After solstice, the darkest night of the year, the renewal of light and the coming of the new year was celebrated in the later Roman Empire at the Dies Natalis of Sol Invictus, the “Birthday of the Unconquerable Sun,” on December 25

When you celebrate Christmas you celebrate many other gods not Jesus, or the white Jesus sure.

B. complex sentence D. simple sentence​

Answers

Answer:

B. Complex sentence

Explanation:

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. Every sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought.

Dependent clauses are clauses that can't stand alone as they don't contain all elements of a sentence. Their purpose is to provide additional information about what is stated in the independent clause.

A simple sentence is a sentence that consists of one independent clause.

A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of at least two independent clauses.

A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

The given sentence consists of one independent (... control your sugar intake to  stay healthy) and one dependent clause (Because sugary snacks and drinks are unhealthy...), which makes it a complex sentence.
