B) to tell others of the details of his escape to New York

C) to recount the events that occurred after he arrived in New York

D) to make known the people who helped him escape to New York

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I would say B because I love history and I know some history of Frederick Douglass.

Explanation:

It would also explain how to escape to the North during the Civil War.

Answer 2
Douglass explains that the final chapter of his Narrative portrays the part of his life during which he escaped from slavery. He explains, however, that the chapter does not describe the exact means of his escape, as he does not want to give slaveholders any information that would help them prevent other slaves from escaping to the North. In fact, Douglass hopes slaveholders will become frantic with thoughts of unseen foes around them, ready to snatch their slaves away from them or hinder them in their quest to reclaim their slaves.

Douglass resumes his narrative in the spring of 1838, when he begins to object to turning over all his wages to Hugh Auld. Auld sometimes gives Douglass a small portion of the wages, which only confirms Douglass’s feeling that he is entitled to the wages in their entirety. Auld appears to sense this unfairness and tries to remedy his guilt by giving Douglass small portions of the money.

Thomas Auld visits Baltimore, and Douglass approaches him asking to be allowed to seek work on his own. Thomas Auld refuses him, assuming that Douglass intends to escape. Two months later, Douglass asks the same of Hugh Auld, who agrees, with the stipulation that Douglass must find all his own work and pay Auld three dollars each week to buy his own tools, board, and clothing. Though it is an ungenerous arrangement, Douglass looks forward to having the responsibilities of a free man.

For four months, Douglass hires his own time and pays Hugh Auld on Saturdays. Then, one Saturday in August, Douglass gets delayed at a meeting outside Baltimore and is unable to give Auld his wages until the next day. Hugh Auld is furious and revokes Douglass’s privilege of hiring his own time, fearing that Douglass will soon attempt to escape. In protest, Douglass does no work the following week, to Auld’s anger and dismay. Then Douglass resolves to escape on the third of September. He decides to work diligently until that date to keep Auld from growing suspicious.

As the date of escape draws closer, Douglass experiences anxiety about leaving his many Baltimore friends and about the possibility of failure. Nonetheless, he carries his plan through and reaches New York City smoothly on the third of September. Rather than feeling relieved upon reaching New York, however, Douglass is seized with terror. He finds himself in an unfamiliar city, without shelter, food, money, or friends. He is surrounded by people, but afraid to speak with anyone for fear they will turn him in. Soon, though, a free black named David Ruggles takes Douglass in. Ruggles, an abolitionist and journalist, advises Douglass to go to New Bedford, Massachusetts, to find work as a caulker. Douglass writes to his fiancée, Anna Murray, a free black woman from Baltimore. Anna joins Douglass in New York. Ruggles witnesses their marriage and gives Douglass five dollars and a letter of recommendation.

When Douglass and Anna reach New Bedford, they receive help from Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Johnson, who pay their travel debt and help Douglass choose a new name. Mr. Johnson suggests “Douglass,” the name of a knight in Sir Walter Scott’s Lady of the Lake.

Triangle JKL undergoes a dilation centered at the origin. The result is triangle JKL'. Which rule describes the dilation? A) (x, y) → (2x, 2y) B) (x, y) → (4x, 4y) C) (x, y) → ( 1 4 x, 1 4 y) D) (x, y) → (− 1 2 x, − 1 2 y)

Answers

Answer:

1st answer is wrong

Explanation:

The rule that describes the dilation is (x, y) → ( 1/4 x, 1/4 y). Then the correct option is C.

What is dilation?

Dilation means the changing of the size of the object without changing the shape. The size of the object may be increased or decreased based on the scale factor.

Triangle JKL undergoes a dilation centered at the origin.

The result is triangle J'K'L'.

The points J(0, 4), K(8, 4), and L(4, -4). And the points J'(0, 1), K'(2, 1), and L'(1, -1)

Then the scale factor will be given as

[tex]\rm Scale \ factor = \dfrac{J'(0, 1)}{J(0, 4)} = \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\Scale \ factor = \dfrac{K'(2, 1)}{K(8, 4)} = \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\Scale \ factor = \dfrac{L'(1,-1)}{L(4, -4)} = \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

Then the scale factor is 1/4.

More about the dilation link is given below.

Answer: 1 The purpose of government is, at the end, stability. Forms of government come and go, with various experiments through history proving more or less bloody or successful. More purely, Machiavelli would define a good government as one that was effective, and responsive to the antagonistic demands of the time.

2.According to Machiavelli a ruler should have three ends namely to gain power,to retain power and to extend power.In order to achieve these ends,a ruler can do everything. Machiavelli wisely borrows an image from medieval animal fables and says that the ruler must be able to imitate both the lion and the fox.Feb 28, 2009

3. Machiavelli believed as a ruler, it was better to be widely feared than to be greatly loved; A loved ruler retains authority by obligation while a feared leader rules by fear of punishment.

Should the US have fought a war against Iraq to liberate Kuwait?

Answers

Yes, the reason is because Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 because they wanted to take advantage of the oil supply that Kuwait has so much of. If the US hadn’t helped Kuwait, the country would have been destroyed.

Yes the US has fought a war against Iraq to liberate Kuwait. Saddam Hussein, the ruler of Iraq, was ordered to evacuate Iraqi soldiers from Kuwait by the United States UN Security Council, but Hussein refused.

Why did Iraq Declreared war against Kuwait?

On August 2, 1990, Saddam Hussein's forces invaded Kuwait's oil-rich country sparking the Gulf War. Hussein hoped that Kuwait's oil reserves would give Iraq significant negotiating power as the gatekeeper to Middle Eastern oil and assist in paying off the enormous debt the country had incurred in its most recent war with Iran.

A geopolitical oil crisis resulted from Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Saddam Hussein would control almost 20% of the world's oil reserves and take over as the leading oil power if he were to seize Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. According to President George H.W. Bush, if Saddam Hussein gained control over the vast oil reserves of the planet, "our jobs, our way of life, our own freedom and the freedom of allied countries throughout the world would all suffer."

The invasion was swiftly denounced by the United States and UN Security Council. Iraq was subject to economic penalties by the Security Council, and a deadline of January 15, 1991, was set for Iraq to remove its troops from Kuwait.

What truths about God, life, and people are those stories (Genesis 1-3) trying to convey? What were the main points of the stories in those chapters?​

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The truths about God, life, and people that those stories (Genesis 1-3) trying to convey were the power of the almighty God that created everything, including life on planet Earth, including humans. And on the 7th day, he rested. Then, Genesis explains the human's sin and how men and women were banished from the Garden of Eden or Paradise.

What were the main points of the stories in those chapters?​

The main point of chapter 1 is the story of how God created the heavens, planest, the Earth, and everything that exists. The main point of chapter 2 is how God created man first, and then, from a man's rib, God created a woman. The main point of chapter 3 is how God banished man and woman for the sin they committed in the Garden of Eden.

Of course, the stories reflected on the Bible -in this case, the Old Testament- are metaphors aimed for the reader to have a better comprehension of the symbolistic idea of the beginning or the creation story.
