brainliestRead the following passage and answer the question that follows:

from Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

(1) One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.

(2) "What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table—Samsa was a travelling salesman—and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.

(3) Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense," he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

Which of the following is the best summary of paragraph 2?
Gregor tries to go back to sleep, but the weather keeps him up.
Gregor wants to forget his trouble, but his body will not allow him.
Gregor knows by the reality surrounding him that he has become a bug.
Gregor wakes to realize he was dreaming about being a bug.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the answer is B ( Gregor wants to forget his trouble, but his body will not allow him

Explanation:

Based on the excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom, what is Frederick Douglass’s view about the lack of education among slaves?

Answers

Even without the specific excerpt to which this question refers, it is still possible to answer it based on the knowledge we have about Douglass and his work.

Answer and Explanation:

A writer, abolitionist, and social reformer, Frederick Douglass was born in 1818 and was a slave. Unlike many others, Douglass was able to find kindness. He was first taught by his master's wife, who was eventually forced by her husband to stop. Later, Douglass was able to find white boys who were willing to teach him how to read and write.

Once he began to learn, Douglass had access to the knowledge only white people had had access to so far. He was freed from the bondage of ignorance. However, that did not make him suffer less. He suffered for all the others who hadn't had the same luck as him. He knew the same bondage that once held him was holding other slaves: lack of education. Douglass thought it was essential for slaves to learn so that they too could be freed - from both ignorance and slavery.

Answer:

In My Bondage and My Freedom, Frederick Douglass describes how his mistress began to teach him the alphabet but was forced to stop by her husband, who convinced her that "education and slavery are incompatible with each other.”

Douglass also realized this fact as a child and resolved to learn to read and write by any means possible:

In teaching me the alphabet, in the days of her simplicity and kindness, my mistress had given me the "inch," and now, no ordinary precaution could prevent me from taking the "ell.”

In this way, Frederick Douglass suggests that education is the only way to break the chains of slavery. An educated man is free from ignorance and cannot be enslaved, so slaves should strive to get educated by any means possible.

What is the purpose of this passage?

to persuade the General Assembly that the Charter of the United Nations is unnecessary
to entertain the General Assembly with a story of how the UDHR came to be
to inform the General Assembly of what the UDHR actually includes
to persuade the General Assembly that the UDHR has wide support

Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In this passage, the word states means "countries.”

At a time when there are so many issues on which we find it difficult to reach a common basis of agreement, it is a significant fact that 58 states have found such a large measure of agreement in the complex field of human rights. This must be taken as testimony of our common aspiration first voiced in the Charter of the United Nations to lift men everywhere to a higher standard of life and to a greater enjoyment of freedom.

Answers

Answer:

D. to persuade the General Assembly that the UDHR has wide support

Explanation:

When Roosevelt talks about the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, she says that 58 countries support the UDHR when she says "58 states have found such a large measure of agreement in the complex field of human rights". The back round information says states means countries. We can eliminate B and C because this speech uses emotional language like "must" or "so many" that indicates that she is persuading, not informing or entertaining.

In her essay "What White Publishers Won’t Print," Zora Neale Hurston argues that publishers will not print stories about educated minorities because readers will not believe that these people even exist. Would the person that Countee Cullen describes in his poem "For a Lady I Know" be similar to the kind of reader Hurston writes about?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the person described by Cullen in his poem will be similar to the kind of reader Hurston writes about.

Explanation:

In the essay by Zora Neale Hurston, she argues that many White publishers failed to write about the Black minorities, thus masking useful insight and knowledge of these people from the world.

In Cullen's poem, he writes about a certain White woman who believes that there would be class distinction even in heaven. While the whites sleep and snore, the slaves wake up to do the chores. This woman has a lopsided view of minorities. Similarly, the readers who would not even believe in the existence of minorities hold a lopsided view of them.

Answer:

Hurston and Cullen both address the issue of racial discrimination in their literary works. They describe the conceited and condescending attitude of white Americans toward minority races, especially African Americans. These writers felt that white Americans not only considered themselves superior to African Americans but also thought that African Americans were incapable of having intellectual and creative skills.In her essay "What White Publishers Won’t Print" Hurston describes how Anglo-Saxons think that they know everything about African Americans and show no interest in learning anything about their "internal lives and emotions." She emphasizes how white Americans have formed certain common stereotypes regarding nonwhite Americans, which is why they fail to comprehend and appreciate the true skills of African Americans and other racial minorities:I have been amazed by the Anglo-Saxon's lack of curiosity about the internal lives and emotions of the Negroes, and for that matter, any non-Anglo-Saxon peoples within our borders, above the class of unskilled labor.Similarly, in his poem "For a Lady I Know," Cullen emphasizes the arrogant and self-important attitude that white Americans have toward African Americans. He uses imagery of cherubs in heaven to describe how a lady belonging to the upper class thinks that her "poor black" servants would wait on her even after death. Cullen shows that people from the upper class (white Americans) believe that Africans Americans can never have a bright future.From her superior attitude toward African Americans, it is clear that the lady that Cullen describes in his poem could belong to the group of readers who would not be interested in reading stories about educated minorities.

These drones can also  rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. All these features made them adaptable to remote locations for video and audio recording.
