Read the passage. Then answer the question. Excerpt from Clarence Darrow's closing argument in Illinois v. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, August 22-25,1924" (Question---> What is Darrow's argument in this excerpt? How well does Darrow support his argument? Use evidence from the text to support your response. Your response should be at least one or two complete paragraphs. ( You'll have to expand the picture to read it) Will Mark Brainliest. ​

Answer and Explanation:

Darrow argues that exorbitant amounts of money were used by the families of the boys involved in the crime to influence the outcome of the trial. In fact, Darrow claims that the amounts of money not only influenced the outcome of the trial, but also decided it completely, as we can see from the paragraph "No lawyer could have justified it. No prosecution could have justified it. We could have come into this court without evidence, without argument, with nothing, and this court would have given to us what every judge in the city of Chicago has given to every boy in the city of Chicago since the first capital case was tried. . "

In this case, Darrow shows how money often hinders the free execution of things, which is contradictory, since we usually think that money will solve things. With this reasoning, Darrow shows that not only is judgment hindered by money, but public opinion and meddling in judgment, which can often attract more than help, since the public has a strong interest when wealthy families are involved in such a scandal.

Candy, as eight-year-old Bindi named her newly acquired companion, was a rat. "I got him two weeks after my dad died . . . He helps me feel lots better!" . . . A sense of security is critical for any grieving child, and Bindi, naturally, had found it in an animal -- one who'd sit on her shoulder as she'd rollerblade and on her lap during interviews. As she prepared to take on life without Dad, a small friend provided big comfort.

Read this excerpt from "Four Types of Volcanoes"
I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST+20 POINTS
Volcanoes are structures formed around openings (vents) in the ground where molten lava, ash, or gas escape from inside the Earth. We have all heard of lava, but not everyone knows how it forms. Deep inside the Earth, rock that melted long ago beneath the Earth's crust forms magma, a very hot liquid that mixes with dissolved gases and crystals. When this magma flows up above Earth’s surface, it is called lava. Volcanoes can erupt continuously or only once in a while. They can erupt violently or slowly. As lava spews out of an opening, it lands, cools, and builds up hills or mountains around the vent. Therefore, volcanoes are usually found on top of hills or mountains.

What is the connection between magma and the hills or mountains around a volcano vent?

Magma that is underground pushes up against land from beneath it, so hills or mountains form over the magma.
Lava is part of magma, and it destroys the mountains and hills that are around a volcano vent.
Magma comes out of a volcano vent, becomes lava, and then cools and becomes part of the land around the vent.
Lava rises up above ground, cools into magma, and then fills the volcano vent so that a hill or mountain forms.

Superhero 101: A Family Secret

Trace knew he would have to try to explain to his grandmother why he had missed her birthday party. He was dreading the conversation and the lie that he would inevitably have to tell. He thought telling her the truth would only open a Pandora’s box. He rang the doorbell, and his grandmother answered right away, like she had been waiting for him. He had called and told her he would try to come by sometime that day, but he had not given her a precise time.

She greeted him warmly, and he followed her into the kitchen where she had her customary jar of fresh-baked cookies ready for his indulgence. His grandmother was endearingly predictable. She had a daily routine and rarely deviated from it. Trace thought that given her lifestyle and penchant for routine and order, there was no way she would ever understand his life as Beetleman. He hated that he had no choice but to lie to his grandmother, whom he loved so much.

They sat at the kitchen table. His grandmother poured him an ice-cold glass of milk and filled a plate with her delicious chocolate chip cookies. Before he had a chance to apologize, his grandmother spoke. “Trace, I’m glad you called and came by today. I know you’re upset about missing my birthday party, but before you say anything about it, there is something I want to show you,” she said.

She went to a drawer and retrieved what appeared to be a large bracelet cuff made of silver. She handed it to Trace. He looked at it carefully. His grandmother moved his hands and pointed to something inscribed on the inside of the bracelet. “Look at this. It's what I wanted you to see,” she said as Trace read the words “Family First.” His heart sank when he read those words and recounted all the times that he had to sacrifice time with his family for his secret life.

His grandmother noticed his dejected expression. “Trace, I didn’t show you this to make you feel bad about your choices. I know that they aren’t always yours to make. This cuff belonged to your grandfather. He had those words inscribed because they are what kept him going and allowed him to make those same tough choices.”

Trace stared at this grandmother. What was she saying? His grandfather was a superhero too?

She continued, “Your grandfather loved helping people, just like you do. That’s where you got your gift—from him. Many times he had to miss family parties and outings because of his calling. But I always knew he did it for us—family first.”

Trace was astounded. He’d had no idea that his grandfather was a superhero; now he realized that he no longer had to lie to his grandmother. His parents had died when he was very young, and his grandparents had raised him. He recalled his grandfather missing his 10th birthday party and how upset and angry he had been at his grandfather. He had cried himself to sleep that night, wrongly thinking that he was not important to his grandfather.

Trace looked at the bracelet carefully, realizing that to him, it was as precious as the Hope diamond. He glanced up at his grandmother.

“His love for his family was his kryptonite,” his grandmother continued. “The only time he was weak was when you or I were in danger. He couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to us after what happened to your parents.”
In “Superhero 101: A Family Secret,” Trace misses his grandmother's birthday party and visits her to apologize.

How does this incident provoke Trace's grandmother to make a decision?


She shows Trace the bracelet and reveals that his grandfather was a superhero.

She insists that Trace follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and adopt his motto.

She wonders if Trace wants to continue to be a superhero like his grandfather.

She reveals the truth about his parents' deaths.
