Explanation:
Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a portion of mankind, after nature has long since discharged them from external direction (naturaliter maiorennes), nevertheless remains under lifelong tutelage, and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians. It is so easy not to be of age. If I have a book that understands for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a physician who decides my diet, and so forth, I need not trouble myself. I need not think if I can only pay - others will easily undertake the irksome work for me.
That the step to competence is held to be very dangerous by the far greater portion of mankind.
why would an author begin a story in medias res?
Answer:
To keep the story suspenseful for the readers up till the end.
Explanation:
The term "medias res" refers to the process or act of starting a story or narrative from a crucial point in the story, which is normally in the middle of the story. This means that medias res starts the story in the middle, in the midst of things.
By starting a story in the middle of events, the author maintains a sense of suspense in the readers. The readers do not know what is to happen, nor are they given any background story to let them understand how the story had been till that given point. This piques the interest of the readers, keeping them hooked to the story till the end.

Why does a good writer vary a sentences structure and what impact does varying sentence structure have on the reader.
HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
Too many sentences with the same structure and length can grow monotonous for readers. Varying sentence style and structure can also reduce repetition and add emphasis. Long sentences work well for incorporating a lot of information, and short sentences can often maximize crucial points.
Note: I got this off of a website, so I recommend rewriting this in your own words.

All of these words have to do with something that is bad and unpleasant, but spirited means enthusiasm.
2. Indignant does not belong
Indignant is not a word that goes with the others, because it doesn't mean being inventive.
3. Interjection does not belong
Fatigue, exhaustion, and lethargy all have to do with being exhausted. Interjection is the act of interrupting someone, with doesn't have anything to do with exhaustion.
4. Courge does not belong
Courge is a food, while the other words mean a disease.
5. Peevish does not belong
Peevish is the only word of this set that does not belong because it does not mean irritable like the rest of them do.
6. Incoherent does not mean "not decent," like the rest of the words do.
Millions of people were killed by Corona Virus in the recent outbreak in italy, change this sentence to active voice
Answer:
Corona Virus killed millions of people in the recent outbreak in Italy.
Explanation:
Changing voice or narration from an active to passive voice or vice versa requires a certain number of changes in the sentence structure and verbs used. Moreover, an active voice has the subject doing the verb while a passive voice has the subject being acted upon by the verb, meaning the verb is placed before the subject in a passive voice.
In the given sentence, the subject is "Corona Virus" while the verb is "killed". And it is given in the passive voice which is indicated by the use of "by" in the sentence.
Thus, the given sentence in the active voice is "Corona Virus killed millions of people in the recent outbreak in Italy."

Explanation:
This battle with Mr. Covey was the turning-point in my career as a slave. It rekindled the few expiring embers of freedom, and revived within me a sense of my own manhood. It recalled the departed self-confidence, and inspired me again with a determination to be free. The gratification afforded by the triumph was a full compensation for whatever else might follow, even death itself. He only can understand the deep satisfaction which I experienced, who has himself repelled by force the bloody arm of slavery. I felt as I never felt before. It was a glorious resurrection, from the tomb of slavery, to the heaven of freedom. My long-crushed spirit rose, cowardice departed, bold defiance took its place; and
I now resolved that, however long I might remain a slave in form, the day had passed forever when I could be a slave in fact. I did not hesitate to let it be known of me, that the white man who expected to succeed in whipping, must also succeed in killing me. From this time I was never again what might be called fairly whipped, though I remained a slave four years afterwards. I had several fights, but was never whipped. It was for a long time a matter of surprise to me why Mr. Covey did not immediately have me taken by the constable to the whipping-post, and there regularly whipped for the crime of raising my hand against a white man in defence of myself. And the only explanation I can now think of does not entirely satisfy me; but such as it is, I will give it. Mr. Covey enjoyed the most unbounded reputation for being a first-rate overseer and negro-breaker. It was of considerable importance to him. That reputation was at stake; and had he sent me--a boy about sixteen years old--to the public whipping-post, his reputation would have been lost; so, to save his reputation, he suffered me to go unpunished.

This portion of Douglass’s autobiography is probably the rising action. The tone of the passage can best be described as earnest. The phrase, "who has himself repelled by force the bloody arm of slavery" draws an analogy.
When the action is getting more intense, the conflict and tension are introduced. The conflict Douglass had with the slave breaker Mr. Covey became the turning point in his existence as a slave, as Douglass relates in this section of the biography.
Douglass describes the pivotal moment in his life as a slave and the impact it had on him in the paragraph in an ominous and straightforward manner.
Who has successfully fought the bloody arm of slavery by force is compared in the sentence. An analogy is a comparison of two things that are, in some way, comparable to one another, and it is usually used to explain or clarify a difficult concept.
Therefore, option 1. (b), 2. (b), 3. (d), 4. (c), 5. (c), 6. (d), 7. (e), 8. (d), 9. (c) is correct.

How do you feel about completing task that require you to work as part of a team.
Generally, I feel comfortable working in groups when it comes to getting jobs done. Especially if it's with people I am already familiar with. I'm not one to lead the group often, but I don't slack off either, and I make sure my contribution is done with.
Now when it comes to things like school group projects, however, I typically have to take hold of the reins. A lot of people will either act like they'll make a contribution, and then ditch you at the last moment - or just blatantly ignore whatever task they need to do. Depending on how much the grade is worth, I end up doing the majority of the work, 'cause I don't got time for the slacker clowns I tend to get grouped with most of the time-

Large steamships transported passengers across the Atlantic Ocean. The trip could take up to two weeks. Wealthy passengers traveled in first or second class and had rooms onboard the ship. Most passengers were not wealthy, so they traveled in third class in the lowest part of ship, known as the "steerage" section. Steerage was usually a large, open section of the ship where people were crowded together. Consequently, many people in steerage caught illnesses from one another. When they arrived in New York, first- and second-class passengers were quickly inspected and allowed to enter the country. All steerage passengers went to Ellis Island for further inspection.
