If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote.

3. She is having good days, bad days, long days and short days.

4. Hike the Appalachian Trail is exploring the Panama Canal and the Mississippi ford.

Explanation:

I have been able to show the four rhetorical devices used in the given passage.

Parallelism is the use of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. We see it in the line: "We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman."

Anaphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase in a sentence at the beginning of successive classes.

It is seen in the line:  "It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty."

Alliteration is the rhetorical device that repeats the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that adjacent or closely connected.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Epiphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase at the end of  successive clauses.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

The Supreme Court decision
the Fifteenth Amendment by stating that

Answers

Answer:

The Supreme Court decision approved the Fifteenth Amendment, stating that any citizen could vote regardless of color, race, or history of servitude.

Explanation:

The texts show that the American Supreme Court decided to approve suffrage for blacks, that is, the Supreme Court decided that it was illegal to prohibit blacks, who were now free citizens, from voting. This gave rise to the fifteenth amendment that declared that every American citizen could vote, regardless of their color, race, or history of servitude.

This moment is reinforced in the second text, where the supreme court prohibits Texas from preventing blacks from voting, saying that this attitude is unconstitutional.

In the end, does Austen seem to favor sense or sensibility as a character trait? Explain your answer with a close analysis of the text. Your answer should be at least 100 words.

Answers

Answer:

In the end, it seems to me that Austen favored sense. Sense even used in diabolical ways such as Lucy's seduction of Richard and betrayal of Edward brings about the outcome of choice.   Elinor's sense is more realistic than Marianne's sensibility. Although Jane Austen's is sure to show the benefits of passion,  Elinor's reason contrasts Marianne's sensibility throughout. Austin is sure to point out the downfalls of sensibility. At the end of this novel,  Marianne's idealism is guided by sense. She has grown up and now sees the prudence of using reason to temper passion. Austen artfully brings the two narratives together in the conclusion.

(B)Washing her hands at the sink, Jenna, could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.
(C)Washing her hands at the sink Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.
(D)Washing her hands at the sink, Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

'Washing her hands at the sink' shows us what is going on at the moment. 'Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.' shows the problem. And the reason you need a comma before and after 'Alice' is that her name is added information but not needed.
