Read this excerpt from Thomas Jefferson: The Apostle of Americanism by Gilbert Chinard.
"I think it is Montaigne who has said that ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head," he wrote to Edmund Randolph. "I am sure it is true as to everything political, and shall endeavor to estrange myself to everything of that character." Since that time there have been in American politics many instances of politicians who left for a hunting party, or retired to their farms in order to avoid responsibility.

What settlement was also founded by religious reformers, but NOT as a break from the Church of England?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
The settlement that was also founded by religious reformers, but NOT as a break from the Church of England, was the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630.
We are talking about the Puritans, who were reformers too, but in a notorious difference to the Pilgrims, Puritans were not separatists, they did not separate from the Church of England. They preferred to reform the church from the inside.
So when Puritans founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, they followed their religious teachings and methods without splitting from the Church of England.

Read this excerpt from The Miracle Worker.
ANAGNOS: . . . It will no doubt be difficult for you there, Annie. But it has been difficult for you at our school too, hm? Gratifying, yes, when you came to us and could not spell your name, to accomplish so much here in a few years, but always an Irish battle. For independence.
(He studies ANNIE, humorously; she does not open her eyes.)
This is my last time to counsel you, Annie, and you do lack some – by some I mean all – what, tact or talent to bend. To others. And what had saved you on more than one occasion here at Perkins is that there was nowhere to expel you to. Your eyes hurt?
ANNIE: My ears, Mr. Anagnos.
(And now she has opened her eyes; they are inflamed. Vague, slightly crossed, clouded by the granular growth of trachoma, and she often keeps them closed to shut out the pain of light.)
ANAGNOS [SEVERELY]: Nowhere but back to Tewksbury, where children learn to be saucy. Annie, I know how dreadful it was there, but that battle is dead and done with, why not let it stay buried?
Which of these statements provides the best summary of the scene?
Anagnos notices that Annie’s eyes are closed, and he discusses her life in Tewksbury and her time at Perkins.
Anagnos praises Annie’s work at Perkins and mentions her previous time in Tewksbury, a town on the Ipswich River.
Anagnos is cruel as he expresses doubts about Annie’s ability to leave Perkins and begin teaching.
Anagnos describes Annie’s progress at Perkins and her strong will, and he expresses concerns about her attitude.
Anagnos praises Annie’s work at Perkins and mentions her previous time in Tewksbury, a town on the Ipswich River.

Write a sensory response (five senses) to “Anticipation” for example anticipation feels like... looks like... smells like... sounds like... tastes like
Answer:
Anticipation feels like that patient ticking of a clock. It sounds of a train passing by your stop. It looks like a million pictures all shaped together into a human-like creature. It smells like a classic movie scene about Nana's Homemade Pie. It tastes like the plastic of your pen as you chew on it, waiting for class to be over.
It is truly something. Not defined, yet everywhere. Not meaningless, yet treated as if it has not a statement to please. Its weird, anticipation. It feels like the word itself is a world of its own. Yet, it is simply a letter in a alphabet of manmade print made to simply communicate with one another.

What’s a good introduction to an argumentative essay about lowering the voting age to 16?
Answer:
Should the American government allow people to vote at the age of 16 or not? Well my opinion on that is this: When you have a group of people with different opinions and judgments, allowing power among st all of them is not a good idea. There needs to be a higher power to take control. With that being said, in my opinion, early age voting is not a good idea. One of the many reasons is because, the brain does not completely develop until the age of 18, and for males it takes longer. People say that you make decisions when you are a teenager, and when you get older you regret them. It is very true, no I do not think that early age voting is a very good idea, especially with the way the world is going. It's going to take a bigger and wiser person to bring us out of the deep hole that We The People have dug ourselves into.

The correct answer is option C. It is a thetorical question that shows the speaker's exasperation.
Explanation:
This question refers to the poem written by Lawrence Raab.
The final question says: What are they doing, writing all this again?
This question is rhetorical, the speaker asks in exasperation why he continues to write poems for his beloved? If he has already made it clear that they have separated.
The problem the speaker has is that he misses someone he loves very much, hence his frustration. And instead of letting her go, he continues to write poems.

Why do people care about what happens long ago?
Usually if they are trying to embarrass you or if they are trying to come-back with a joke.
Answer:
Everything we do, from politics to education to work decisions to family decisions, is based on the past. The culture that has no memory of the past has functional amnesia and is going to do a lot of not so good things. In fact we currently do have functional amnesia because only half of history is being taught, that half which serves the interests of certain political parties, and the other half is being suppressed because it would actually give people a balanced view of things, make them less likely to hate a whole group of people, make them more understanding of the nuances of people’s points of view. History is probably the most important subject apart from reading that is taught in the school system and it has been corrupted. In truth, real history is fascinating and full of unbelievable and spectacular facts. Understanding history also helps us to understand ourselves, other people, how things work in the world and this leads to a better prospect for us in life.
