Speech by Barbara Jordan (D-Texas), Member of the House Judiciary Committee. Mr. Chairman: I join in thanking you for giving the junior members of this committee the glorious opportunity of sharing the pain of this inquiry. Mr. Chairman, you are a strong man and it has not been easy, but we have tried as best we can to give you as much assistance as possible. Earlier today, we heard the beginning of the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States, “We, the people.” It is a very eloquent beginning. But when the document was completed on the seventeenth of September, 1787, I was not included in that “We, the people.” I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment, interpretation and court decision I have finally been included in “We, the people.” Today, I am an inquisitor; I believe hyperbole would not be fictional and would not overstate the solemnness that I feel right now. My faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total. I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution. …The subject of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men. That is what we are talking about. In other words, the jurisdiction comes from the abuse or violation of some public trust . . . The North Carolina ratification convention: “No one need to be afraid that officers who commit oppression will pass with immunity. . . . Common sense would be revolted if we engaged upon this process for petty reasons. Congress has a lot to do: Appropriations, tax reform, health insurance, campaign finance reform, housing, environmental protection, energy sufficiency, mass transportation. Pettiness cannot be allowed to stand in the face of such overwhelming problems. So today we are not being petty. We are trying to be big, because the task we have before us is a big one. . . . We should now forthwith proceed to answer the the question.
It is reason, and not passion, which must guide our deliberations, guide our debate, and guide our decision.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. Select the correct answer.

Explanation:
Mahmoud "felt the stirrings of indignation, of anger, of sympathy" when he saw 2 boys attacking another boy for his bread; yet, he did nothing. What should he have done? What would YOU do?
Answer and Explanation:
Although this is a situation in which someone must intervene, Mahmoud knows that he should not draw attention to himself, as this would be extremely dangerous and could damage his and his family's life in a grand and deadly way. It is true that he should have fought with the boys who were attacking another boy and prevented them from stealing the boy's bread, but seeing Mahmoud's situation, we cannot judge him for having done nothing. We ourselves, in this situation, would probably do the same.

Make a sentence using the word “trajectory”
Don’t get one from online.
Answer:
"My trajectory doesn't end here," I said, when I met my first challenge on the way home.
Explanation:
The word "trajectory" means a path that has been traveled or that you want to travel until you reach the destination.
In the phrase used above, this word was used in a connotative way, presenting tragedy as a force, an objective to be completed. When the narrator of the sentence affirms that her trajectory is not over, when she faces a difficulty, she is affirming that her strength will not give in amid the problems that she may face.

Answer:
Climate change in the Arctic is proving to be a big issue, it has been causing the loss of continental ice for the past two decades and is accelerating as time moves along. The most vulnerable areas include the glaciers of West Antarctica and the Antarctic peninsula. Due to the melting of the ice that many animals live on there is a chance that they will become extinct like the polar bears are on their way to becoming if we do not change our habits and be more caring to our earth.

What type of biased language can be found in Line 3?
5
а.

b. race
C. ethnicity
d. religion
Answer:
D= "Besides he's Catholic. He would never steal"
Explanation:
I remember well the remark made to me once by one of my teachers—and a very good teacher, too, who nevertheless did not see what her own observation ought to have suggested. “School-children,” she said, “regard teachers as their natural enemies.” The thought which it would have been logical to suppose would have followed this observation is, that if children in general are possessed of that notion, it is because there is a great deal in the teacher’s treatment of them which runs counter to the child’s nature: that possibly this is so, not because of natural cussedness on the part of the child, but because of inapplicability of the knowledge taught, or the manner of teaching it, or both, to the mental and physical needs of the child. I am quite sure no such thought entered my teacher’s mind,—at least regarding the system of knowledge to be imposed; being a sensible woman, she perhaps occasionally admitted to herself that she might make mistakes in applying the rules, but that the body of knowledge to be taught was indispensable, and must somehow be injected into children’s heads, under threat of punishment, if necessary, I am sure she never questioned. It did not occur to her any more than to most teachers, that the first business of an educator should be to find out what are the needs, aptitudes, and tendencies of children, before he or she attempts to outline a body of knowledge to be taught, or rules for teaching it. It does not occur to them that the child’s question, “What do I have to learn that for?” is a perfectly legitimate question; and if the teacher cannot answer it to the child’s satisfaction, something is wrong either with the thing taught, or with the teaching; either the thing taught is out of rapport with the child’s age, or his natural tendencies, or his condition of development; or the method by which it is taught repels him, disgusts him, or at best fails to interest him.
When a child says, “I don’t see why I have to know that; I can’t remember it anyway,” he is voicing a very reasonable protest. Of course, there are plenty of instances of wilful shirking, where a little effort can overcome the slackness of memory; but every teacher who is honest enough to reckon with himself knows he cannot give a sensible reason why things are to be taught which have so little to do with the child’s life that to-morrow, or the day after examination, they will be forgotten; things which he himself could not remember were he not repeating them year in and year out, as a matter of his trade. And every teacher who has thought at all for himself about the essential nature of the young humanity he is dealing with, knows that six hours of daily herding and in-penning of young, active bodies and limbs, accompanied by the additional injunction that no feet are to be shuffled, no whispers exchanged, and no paper wads thrown, is a frightful violation of all the laws of young life. Any gardener who should attempt to raise healthy, beautiful, and fruitful plants by outraging all those plants’ instinctive wants and searchings, would meet as his reward—sickly plants, ugly plants, sterile plants, dead plants. He will not do it; he will watch very carefully to see whether they like much sunlight, or considerable shade, whether they thrive on much water or get drowned in it, whether they like sandy soil, or fat mucky soil; the plant itself will indicate to him when he is doing the right thing. And every gardener will watch for indications with great anxiety. If he finds the plant revolts against his experiments, he will desist at once, and try something else; if he finds it thrives, he will emphasize the particular treatment so long as it seems beneficial. But what he will surely not do, will be to prepare a certain area of ground all just alike, with equal chances of sun and amount of moisture in every part, and then plant everything together without discrimination,—mighty close together!—saying beforehand, “If plants don’t want to thrive on this, they ought to want to; and if they are stubborn about it, they must be made to.”
In the second sentence of the second paragraph, the repetition of the word “things” primarily serves to
qualify a claim by acknowledging an exception to it
A
portray contrasting viewpoints as equally legitimate
B
clarify an argument by restating it in simpler terms
C
illustrate a generalization with a particular case
D
strengthen an assertion by broadening its implications
E
Answer:
Its E Strengthen an assertion by broadening its implications 100%
Explanation:
In these lines, the author uses repetition to organize two assertions about the “things” that children are taught. She first asserts that these “things” have so little relevance that children will quickly forget them. She then broadens this assertion to apply to teachers, stating that they too would forget these “things” if they were not constantly repeating them on the job. By arranging these ideas in this way, the author strengthens her initial assertion about the reason that children have trouble remembering and supports her overarching claim that it is “reasonable” for children to protest that they cannot retain what they are expected to learn.
Holden has just finished gathering notes for his research project on how steel is made. Describe what is his next step in preparing to write a report.
Answer:
After he has finished gathering notes for his research project, Holden should decide which structure he is going to use in the report because it can vary depending on the topic, which in this case is about how steel is made. After he decides how the report is going to be, he should start writing the report with the information he gathered and in case he needs more information he should continue doing research.
Explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to write the next step Holden has to do to write his report on how steel is made. It is important to gather the information first because, although you can still do research after you start writing if you need more information, it allows you to decide how you are going to write the report and then you can start writing.
