Question

Can someone please help me? I will fan and medal!!!!

Answer 1

Read this excerpt from President Nixon's resignation speech, and then answer the question that follows:

I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as President, I must put the interests of America first. America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress, particularly at this time with problems we face at home and abroad.

To continue to fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity without inflation at home.

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office.

As I recall the high hopes for America with which we began this second term, I feel a great sadness that I will not be here in this office working on your behalf to achieve those hopes in the next 2 1/2 years. But in turning over direction of the Government to Vice President Ford, I know, as I told the Nation when I nominated him for that office 10 months ago, that the leadership of America will be in good hands.


In which of the following lines does President Nixon express a casual tone in an attempt to reach out to the public on a personal level?

A. "I have never been a quitter."
B. "To continue to fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity without inflation at home."
C. "Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office."
D. "I know, as I told the Nation when I nominated him for that office 10 months ago, that the leadership of America will be in good hands."

Answer 2

Which of the following statements offers a strong claim for a paper about why violent video games should be banned?

A. There is a good point to be made that interactive fiction is the future of literary efforts, and in order to promote strength in storytelling, it should not be restricted.
B. Such games have sold in record-breaking numbers to teens and young adults, and reports show that their sequels only increase sales.
C. We may try to hide from violence, but violence has found its way into our living rooms.
D. As long as these violent games are in the hands of children who are still developing their understanding of right and wrong, something must be done to protect our society from the inevitable threat of violent teens.

I am thinking D on this one but it could also be C

Can someone help me on this one next?

Read the following excerpt from Memoirs and Portraits by Robert Louis Stevenson, then find the correct answer:

And all the while I was aware that this life of sea-bathing and sun-burning was for me but a holiday. In that year cannon were roaring for days together on French battlefields; and I would sit in my isle (I call it mine, after the use of lovers) and think upon the war, and the loudness of these far-away battles, and the pain of the men's wounds, and the weariness of their marching. And I would think too of that other war which is as old as mankind, and is indeed the life of man: the unsparing war, the grinding slavery of competition; the toil of seventy years, dear-bought bread, precarious honour, the perils and pitfalls, and the poor rewards. It was a long look forward; the future summoned me as with trumpet calls, it warned me back as with a voice of weeping and beseeching; and I thrilled and trembled on the brink of life, like a childish bather on the beach.

There was another young man on Earraid in these days, and we were much together, bathing, clambering on the boulders, trying to sail a boat and spinning round instead in the oily whirlpools of the roost. But the most part of the time we spoke of the great uncharted desert of our futures; wondering together what should there befall us; hearing with surprise the sound of or own voices in the empty vestibule of youth. As far, and as hard, as it seemed then to look forward to the grave, so far it seems now to look backward upon these emotions; so hard to recall justly that loath submission, as of the sacrificial bull, with which we stooped our necks under the yoke of destiny. I met my old companion but the other day; I cannot tell of course what he was thinking; but, upon my part, I was wondering to see us both so much at home, and so composed and sedentary in the world; and how much we had gained, and how much we had lost, to attain to that composure; and which had been upon the whole our best estate: when we sat there prating sensibly like men of some experience, or when we shared our timorous and hopeful counsels in a western islet.


What does Stevenson think about in the first paragraph?
