2. According to this article, what
happens to a person's sense of
individuality when they follow

a
larger group?


A It shuts down.

B It grows weaker.

C It grows stronger.

D It remains the same.

Answers

Answer:

A its shuts down

Explanation:

Great leaders tap into the needs and fears we all share. ... At the same time, she needs to find ways for individuals to grow. ... Squeeze the wrong one, and the person may well shut down.

According to the article, a person's sense of individuality shuts down when that person follows a larger group, as shown in option A.

We can arrive at this answer because:

This article shows how following the thinking of a large group can be harmful to an individual's individuality.This is because the thought not shared by a large group prevents a person's logical thinking and personal assessment of ideas and concepts.This harms individuality and prevents the individual from perceiving incorrect thoughts and negative attitudes that the group is carrying out.

In other words, following the ideas of a large group prevents the person from being a rational being and from using their mental abilities to make important decisions.

Why did Richard Heller challenge the District of Columbia law?

Answers

Answer:

B). "He found that children and adults who have read stories their whole lives were more likely to correctly identify the feelings and thoughts of others than those who do not read regularly."

C). "Trying to understand these characters exercises the same mental muscle that helps us understand people in the real world."

Explanation:

The above two evidence factually support and substantiate the claim that 'people who read stories are better at communicating and understanding the feelings of others.'

The first evidence i.e. option B states that the research revealed 'the children or adults who have been reading stories constantly their whole lives are able to recognize the thoughts or feelings of others more accurately' while the second evidence i.e. option C asserts logically that 'in attempt to understand the characters of stories, the same mental muscle is required for understanding people in real life.'

Thus, these two pieces of evidence not only support but substantiates how reading comprehends our understanding of thoughts, opinions, or feelings of others. Hence, options B and C are the correct answers.

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.

Which statement is best supported by text evidence from the excerpt?

All members of the Culper Ring received a copy of Tallmadge’s code.

Read the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes."
Antigone and Ismene heard with horror what Creon had
decided. To Ismene, shocking as it was, overwhelming
her with anguish for the pitiful dead body and the
lonely, homeless soul, it seemed, nevertheless, that
nothing could be done except to acquiesce [to accept
without protest]. She and Antigone were utterly alone.
All Thebes was exulting that the man who had brought
war upon them should be thus terribly punished. "We
are women," she told her sister. "We must obey. We
have no strength to defy the State." "Choose your own
part," Antigone said. "I go to bury the brother I love."
"You are not strong enough," Ismene cried. "Why, then
when my strength fails, " Antigone answered, "I will give
up." She left her sister, Ismene dared not follow her.
How does Antigone's action as a rebel reveal the
universal theme?
It shows that she is tired of being alone, revealing
that loneliness is difficult for people to handle.
It shows that she can break the rules for her
principles, revealing that women are as capable as
men.
It shows that she does not side with her sister,
revealing that families should stick together.
It shows that she pities Ismene, revealing that
understanding leads to right action.

Answers

The correct answer is B. It shows that she can break the rules for her principles, revealing that women are as capable as men.

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, it is described how Antigone opposes the actions of Creon as he wants to stop Antigone and her sister from burying his brother. Indeed, even if Ismene (Antigone's sister) expresses they must obey "We are women...We must obey", Antigone decides to break the rules and disobey "I go to bury the brother I love" inspired by love and own principles. These actions indirectly show the reader women can break the rules and be as strong as men. According to this, the universal theme (underlying idea understood in cultures around the word) expressed when Antigone breaks the rules is i"women are as capable as men" (Option B).

What do you mean by Subjects and Verbs?

A subject is refer to as the noun in a particular sentence and verb is defined as the action word.

For example, The dog chases the cats. Here, the verb 'chases' is in the singular, so the subject 'dog' must be in the singular.

Therefore, correct option is C.
