In Farewell Address, George Washington most hopes to be remembered as a president whose long years of service outweighed any faults he may have had. Which passage from the text most strongly supports that hope? Question 7 options: a) “Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors.” b) “Who can doubt that, in the course of time and things, the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages which might be lost by a steady adherence to it?” c) “I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.” d) “...I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.”

Answers

Answer:

The passage that most strongly supports that hope is:

c) “I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.”

Explanation:

First, let's remember what we are looking for. We want a passage in which Washington says he wishes people will forgive his mistakes and faults due to his dedication as a president. When we analyze what is said in letter C, that is precisely what we find. Washington is saying that he hopes people will be able to look at his past faults with tolerance - my country will never cease to view them with indulgence. He hopes his long years of service will outweigh such faults, causing people to forget (or forgive) them - after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion. Therefore, the best answer is letter C.

Answers

The line between memoir and autobiography is a fuzzy one, especially in this modern literary era where writers are constantly blurring the boundaries between genres to create a new, exciting one. Like an autobiography, a memoir is a narrative that reveals experiences within the author's lifetime.But there's a key difference that publishers use to define each—the timeline covered in the writing. An autobiography focuses on the chronology of the writer's entire life while a memoir covers one specific aspect of the writer's life.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. Have not phoned / have been really busy.

2. Have been.

3. Has not been.

4. She has known.

5. I have read.

Explanation:

The present perfect verb tense is used for the following things:

An action or situation started in the past and continues in the present. An action performed for a period of time not yet completed. An action repeated in a non-specific period of time located between the past and the present. An action that has been completed in the very recent past, indicated by 'just'. An action for which the precise moment in which it occurred is not important.

This verb tense is formed by the auxiliary verb "to have" and a verb conjugated in past participle. If the verb is regular, "ed" will usually be added at the end. Whereas if the verb is irregular, you must learn each of the verbs so as not to make mistakes.

In this way, this verb tense is formed as follows:

I              have  +    past participle

He  

She         has + past participle

It

We

They        have   +  past participle

In this excerpt from "The Golden Goose" by the Brothers Grimm, who is the protagonist?

Answers

This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

In this excerpt from “the golden goose” by the brothers grimm, who is the protagonist?

At this Dummling was glad, and said: “get up and come with me; you shall eat yourself full.” He led him to the king's palace where all the flour in the whole kingdom was collected, and from it he caused a huge mountain of bread to be baked. The man from the forest stood before it, began to eat, and by the end of one day the whole mountain had vanished. Then Dummling for the third time asked for his bride; but the king again sought a way out, and ordered a ship which could sail on land and on water. “As soon as you come sailing back in it,” said he, “you shall have my daughter for wife.” Dummling went straight into the forest, and there sat the little gray man to whom he had given his cake. When he heard what Dummling wanted, he said: “since you have given me to eat and to drink, I will give you the ship; and I do all this because you once were kind to me.” Then he gave him the ship which could sail on land and water, and when the king saw that, he could no longer prevent him from having his daughter. The wedding was celebrated, and after the king's death, Dummling inherited his kingdom and lived for a long time contentedly with his wife.

a. the king

b. the king’s daughter

c. Dummling

d. the little gray man

Answer:

The protagonist is c. Dummling.

Explanation:

"The Golden Goose" is a tale by Brothers Grimm. The hero or protagonist of the story is Dummling, sometimes also translated as Simpleton. While his brothers are unkind to the little gray man in the forest, Dummling shares his food and beer with him. After doing that, he is given a golden goose, meets a king and his daughter and, for making the princess laugh for the first time ever, he is promised to marry her. Because of the food and beer Dummling once shared with him, the little gray man helps him by giving him the boat asked for by the king. Dummling can now finally marry the princess.
