what does this quote mean? “the dead cannot cry out for justice. it is a duty of the living to do so for them.” - lois mcmaster bujold

I think this means that when an injustice is done to someone who is now dead, they can't do anything about it because they are dead. So it is the responsibility of people still alive to stand up and get justice.

What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe?
I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered. I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression; and, acting upon this idea, I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down—but with a shudder even more thrilling than before—upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems, and the vacant and eye-like windows.

He [Mr. Summers] made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, “Watson boy drawing this
year?”
A tall boy in the crowd raised his hand. “Here,” he said. “I’m drawing for my mother and me.” He
blinked his eyes nervously and ducked his head as several voices in the crowd said things like “Good
fellow” and “Glad to see your mother’s got a man to do it.”

Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children. It's inevitable. There are so many decisions to be made in any given day, week, month, or year. It's an inhuman task to make all of
these decisions correctly. Who would even want to try for perfection?
We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life. Life is full of mistakes, obstacles, and trouble. Shielding our children from these by striving for perfection in
our own parenting does them no favors.
Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply bet the chips fall where they may. Admittedly, that attitude is not without its benefits, but it goes too far in the other direction. Children
are much more observant than we think, but often draw the wrong conclusions from what they observe. If we give up trying to make the right decisions, they might get the message that we don't care about their future.
We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to do our best to make the right decisions whenever possible. It just means that we shouldn't
best ourselves up when we make mistakes. Either it won't matter because it's something small, or it just might build some character in our children, a commodity that will serve them well.

Which of these sentences from the passage most directly expresses the counterclaim? (5 points)
"We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to
"Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may
"Shielding our children from these mistakes) by striving for perfection in our own parenting does them no favors."
"We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life."

Which is the thesis statement in this introductory paragraph?
Would you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a home that was
falling apart? Without the benefit of a qualified home inspector, many
people do just that. Home inspectors check the condition of the home,
including the foundation, roof, plumbing, and electrical systems,
Though home inspections can be expensive, it is worth it to know if the
roof is leaking or there's a problem with the pipes in the basement
before you purchase the home. Because a home is often the largest
single investment a person will make in his or her lifetime, the
importance of a proper home inspection cannot be overstated.
