Read the sentences and drag each pronoun into the
correct category.
My brother and I are making dinner for [ourselves] and
our parents. I [myself] am making the dessert! Our
parents are controlling [themselves] and have not tried even once to tell us how to cook. They say they have
faith in us, but the meal [itself{ will prove whether we
are good cooks.
[words in brackets need to be put in "reflexive pronoun" or "intensive pronoun"
Answer:
Reflexive pronouns in the passage: ourselves, themselves.
Intensive pronouns in the passage: myself, itself.
Explanation:
Both reflexive and intensive pronouns end in -self or -selves. The difference lies in the way they are used, according to the context. Reflexive pronouns indicate that the same person or thing is both the subject and the object of the verb. A common example is:
- I cut myself. --> I am the one who performed the action of cutting. I am also the one who was cut.
Intensive pronouns, on the other hand, emphasize the importance of something or someone. They are usually not essential to convey meaning in the sentence. For example:
- The president himself addressed the issue. --> Emphasis on the fact that is was the president, rather than any other person.
An easy way to distinguish between the two types of pronouns is by their position in the sentence. Intensive pronouns come right after the noun they refer to. Reflexive pronouns come after the verb or a preposition. Having that in mind, we can answer:
Reflexive pronouns in the passage: ourselves, themselves.
Intensive pronouns in the passage: myself, itself.
Answer:
Reflexive:
ourselves
themselves
Intensive:
myself
itself

Read the excerpt from Justice Curtis’s dissenting opinion, then answer the question that follows.
Slavery, being contrary to natural right, is created only by municipal law. This is not only plain in itself, and agreed by all writers on the subject, but is inferable from the Constitution, and has been explicitly declared by this court. The Constitution refers to slaves as “persons held to service in one State, under the laws thereof.” . . . .
. . . It was certainly understood by the Convention which framed the Constitution, and has been so understood ever since, that, under the power to regulate commerce, Congress could prohibit the importation of slaves; and the exercise of the power was restrained till 1808. A citizen of the United States owns slaves in Cuba, and brings them to the United States, where they are set free by the legislation of Congress. Does this legislation deprive him of his property without due process of law? If so, what becomes of the laws prohibiting the slave trade? If not, how can a similar regulation respecting a Territory violate the fifth amendment of the Constitution? . . . .
For these reasons, I am of opinion that so much of the several acts of Congress as prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude within that part of the Territory of Wisconsin . . . were constitutional and valid laws.
–Dissenting opinion on Dred Scott v. Sandford,
Justice Benjamin Curtis
Which evidence best supports Curtis’s opinion that Dred Scott should be free because he lived in a free territory? Check all that apply.

“A citizen of the United States owns slaves in Cuba.”
“Does this legislation deprive him of his property without due process of law?”
“Acts of Congress as prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude within that part of the Territory of Wisconsin . . . were constitutional and valid laws.”

A. ()

C. ;
Answer:
Revised laws, just leaders, unwavering support— this is how we restore peace and end segregation.
Explanation:
The em dash or long dash is one form of punctuation in grammar that has been confused and even mixed with the en dash, hyphen, etc. It has also been majorly replaced in its usage in a sentence by the comma, parenthesis, or even the semi-colon.
In the given sentence, the em dash will be used. This is so that the first part of the sentence "revised laws, just leaders, unwavering support" is the list of points that the sentence is trying to make. And the em dash will emphasize them while also separating them in the same manner.
