The correct answer is A.

Dante feels grief for Francesca's tragic life. He even weeps with pity for her situation. Dante considers her sin different from the others, because she could not rationally control falling in love. Other sins, like murder, require the sinner to actively choose to sin. On the other hand, falling in love happens without our choosing. That's why Dante feels so bad.

Question

In Frankenstein how can you support that no one is completely good or completely evil

Solution 1

Victor Frankenstein was a promising young doctor and brilliant scientist. He had the potential to do much good for humanity (he wanted to cheat death), but he had a fatal flaw -- the pride, or hubris, which saw him creating a humanoid monster for his own glorification. Ambition and shortsightedness got in the way of commonsense.
The monster was also flawed--he murdered people,such as William and Elizabeth. However, at the end he reveals a human side. He is a tragic, pathetic figure, utterly lonely, miserable, and rejected by human society. He had wanted the normal human comforts of a wife and family but these were denied him by his creator who refused to make a wife for him.

Question

Can justice and forgiveness go hand in hand?

Solution 1

This is a rather subjective question, and it really depends on your personal opinions about the topic. In my eyes, yes, justice and forgiveness can go hand in hand. Let's take an example of an offender who committed a particular crime.

He or she will be prosecuted for what they did, and thus justice will be served. However, after they've endured their punishment, they might become law-abiding citizens again, and this is where forgiveness takes place - they can be forgiven for their evil deeds and allowed back into the society (although, this depends on the crime they've committed).

Which sentence is an example of a claim of policy from "Compulsory Voting: An Idea Whose Time Has Come"? A. [compulsory voting] will help us elect more effective and thoughtful leaders B. [compulsory voting] is the right thing to do for the United States C. [compulsory voting] should be implemented in the United States D. Compulsory voting could solve this problem

Solution 1

An example of a claim of policy from "Compulsory Voting: An Idea Whose Time Has Come" is C (compulsory voting) should be impemented in the United States.

Claim is a term that refers to a statement in which a position is established on a specific topic. A Policy Claim is a sentence in which a specific position is established by expressing:

What should be done
What should not be done

According to the above, an example of policy claim would be

"should be implemented in the United States"

Because it establishes a radical position on this matter and it is the only one that uses the word should.

Additionally, options A, B, and D are not correct because they do not establish a strong position on the issue, but rather send proposals that only pose a possibility.

Question

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, and then answer the question. Most immigrants passed through Ellis Island in about one day. Carrying all their worldly possessions, they left the examination hall and waited on the dock for the ferry that would take them to Manhattan, a mile away. Some of them still faced long journeys overland before they reached their final destination. Others would head directly for the teeming immigrant neighborhoods of New York City. What best paraphrases the central idea of the excerpt? Some Ellis Island travelers took long journeys before reaching their final home. The ferry ride to Manhattan from Ellis Island was a one-mile journey. It usually took one day to get through Ellis Island if people had many possessions. After leaving Ellis Island, the newcomers went on to live in many different places.

Solution 1

Answer:

After leaving Ellis Island, the newcomers went on to live in many different places.

Explanation:

Russell Freedman in his book "Immigrant Kids" tells of how young newcomers to America had to undergo various trials and hardships to get to their destinations. It gives a rare insight into the lives of these immigrant kids and their ordeals during their journeys.

For these kids in search of freedom, they had come to America, the 'land of the free'. But the freedom they encountered was of a different kind. They had to do menial and odd jobs if they are to survive in the new place.

Ellis Island is the immigration station that enables the U.S. government to check the influx of immigrants into it's soil. The passage in the question is a perfect paraphrasing of the newcomers who left Ellis Island to live in many different places.

Solution 2

After leaving Ellis Island, the newcomers went on to live in many different places.

Miller used the play as a criticism of McCarthyism. "The Crucible" is about the witch-hunt and the trials that took place in Salem in 1692. In this play people cared about other people's business and being accused of witchcraft was the most dangerous sin. To avoid being hanged people accused others.

Miller himself was prosecuted and convicted.
