Read the passage.
excerpt from “Mohandas Gandhi: Truth in Action” by Vanessa Wright
“Thief,” thought Mohandas Gandhi. “I am a thief.”
Fifteen-year-old Mohandas looked at the gold in his hand. He had stolen it from his brother. It was not his first theft: earlier, he had stolen coins from the family’s servants. But now, the gold in his hand burned like a hot coal. He sat down and wrote a letter of confession to his father.
Would his father punish him? Mohandas watched as his father read the note. Tears rolled down his father’s cheeks, wetting the paper. But there was no scolding. Silently, his father tore the letter into pieces. Later, Gandhi realized that, in his father’s response, he had seen the principle of Ahimsa—of nonviolence—in action. He dedicated his life to that principle.

Is this a compound, complex, simple, or complex compound sentence: February 2, the midpoint of winter, is an unusual holiday
Answer:
Complex Sentence
Explanation:
The sentence shown in the question above represents a complex sentence. Complex sentences are sentences that have an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses in the composition. In the sentence above, we can see that the clause "is an unusual holiday" is a dependent clause linked to the independent clause "February 2, the midpoint of winter."
Independent clauses are those that manage to emit a coherent meaning on their own, and can be a completely cohesive sentence. Dependent clauses, on the other hand, are clauses that cannot deliver meaning on their own, but need to be complemented by independent clauses in order to be coherent and to be able to convey a message.

What is most likely the speaker's reason to open with this?
In approaching this problem, we cannot turn the clock back to 1868, when the
[Fourteenth] Amendment was adopted, or even to 1896, when Plessy v.
Ferguson was written. We must consider public education in the light of its full
development and its present place in American life throughout the Nation. Only
in this way can it be determined if segregation in public schools deprives these
plaintiffs of the equal protection of the laws.
O A. The speaker is guided by Plessy v. Ferguson.
O B. The speaker advocates for a modern interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
C. The speaker is not sure if education should be privatized.
D. The speaker believes that public education should be segregated.
Answer:
B. The speaker advocates for a modern interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Explanation:
The fourteenth amendment of the constitution (1868) proposed equal rights and protections for all persons, born and naturalized in the United States. If any person was to be punished for any reason, the due process of the law must be adequately followed.
The speaker in the above excerpt is thus saying that while they could not move back to 1868, they had to consider presently what was happening in public schools and if they violated the constitutional requirement not to engage in segregation of any kind.

It is clear that Katniss is not in favor of another Hunger Games. She executes Coin to make sure it doesn't happen. Therefore, why does Katniss vote "yes" for another Hunger Games when she could simply have voted "no"?
Explanation:
Katniss had just found out her sister's death was a plan that President Coin had that had to do with a new games featuring the Capitol leader's children. Once she learns this information, she tries to get revenge on Coin by assassinating her. The reason she couldn't have voted yes was because if she'd voted no, Coin would've suspected that Katniss wasn't on her side, and possibly even cancelled her public speech. Without the speech, Katniss's chances of being able to kill her would've been slim.
