Answers

Answer:

' The greatest cruelties of our century have been the impersonal cruelties of remote decision...'  Eric Hobsbawm, the Age of Extremes

Explanation:

I´m not sure if Holocaust really is capable of, or encouraging, positive change. To start with, etnical clensing just continuied after the Holocaust in the same way it had started the violent 20th century (Armenian genocide by the Turks), whether in Europe (Yugoslavia), Asia (Vietnam war) or Africa (Congo).

Secondly, and as Eric Hobsbawm clearly and eloquently points out, technology has made its victims invisible. The perfect organization of the holocaust by German bureaucrats (timetables of trains and the like) was possibly because it consisted of many people just doing their job unconsciously.

So only if we learn to see people at the other end of the world as real people there is a possibility of change. But our personal involvement and comprehension is becoming less and less real in a virtual world.

The book has a more matter-of-fact tone, is the sentence best describes the tone of the passage from the book compared to the passage from the radio broadcast. Hence, option B is correct.

What is the concept of passage?

The tense used in a literary narrative has an impact on its mood and the reader's understanding of what is happening. In the issue at hand, a passage from The War of the Worlds was converted to the present tense during the radio adaptation process. In all instances, the narrator, who is also one of the characters, tells how he or she saw something that looked like a snake.

While the second excerpt uses present tense to indicate that the character is actually experiencing the events, the first excerpt uses past tense to indicate that this incident already happened, and the character is merely recounting it.

Thus, option B is correct.

I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.

Which sentence best describes Paine's claim in the excerpt?

A.) God would not take sides between the British and the American colonists.
B.) It was necessary to save Americans because God did not support military destruction.
C.) It was necessary for America to fight the British to defend their religious values.
