ANSWERS: 2,4,5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Congress had changed the meaning of the First Amendment, rather than enforcing it. Congress had created a law that was not proportional to the problem it was fixing. Congress had taken away states’ rights by passing the RFRA.

Explanation:

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 was passed in light of the Supreme Court upholding an Oregon state decision to deny two American Indian men unemployment benefits for having taken a banned substance which they normally use in their religious events.

Congress passed this bill with only 3 Senators opposing it so that it could prevent such from happening again.

The Supreme Court however ruled the Act as unconstitutional as it claimed that Congress was overexerting its powers by: changing the meaning of the First Amendment, creating a law that was disproportionate to the problems it was fixing and overexerting federal power on states and taking away their rights to manage their affairs in this regard.

Answer 2

Answer:

- Congress had changed the meaning of the First Amendment, rather than enforcing it.

- Congress had created a law that was not proportional to the problem it was fixing.

- Congress had taken away states’ rights by passing the RFRA.

Take pages of notes on the novel's first chapter.
Make predictions about what will happen next.
Ask someone who has read the novel what happens.
Read the last few pages of the novel first

Answers

The correct answer is to Make predictions about what will happen next.

Explanation:

In the process of reading fictional texts such as novels or stories, predicting future events increases motivation and interest in the reader. Indeed, predicting events makes the reader continue reading the following pages, chapters, etc. to prove or disprove the predictions about the story. Moreover, this creates a positive expectation about the evolution of characters, possible conflicts in the story, a possible ending, among others. In this context, one way to increase motivation when reading an assigned text is to make predictions about what will happen next.

Answer:

Make predictions about what will happen next.

Answer:

Today I came over my fear of spiders, I went to a friends house and held their pet spider. Im not afraid of them anymore.

Explanation:

Answer:

--

Explanation:

    Today, I found a spider hidden behind my chair. The chair I sit in everyday of the week, for an hour a day as I read my book. There was quite a bit of webbing as well, and I realized that it had probably been there awhile. I had sat and read without a clue, and it never came near me. I think. I hope. But it led me to realize that maybe spiders aren't demonized spawn of the devil, and are probably okay to the point that I don't have to run around screaming. I still killed it though.

The Treaty of Versailles could have been improved in many ways. First, more countries could have helped pay for the damage, The treaty gave some German territories to neighboring countries and placed other German territories.

Explanation:

The paragraph said"but i wish they would add some more..."

who is they?

if we try to look at the previous sentence, they can only be inferred to the trees, of course the narrator doesn't wish that the trees would add playing fields and more sport team and if we try to guess, maybe he is talking about the president, the manager, or maybe the government.

So we need to specify who they is. C answers that problem by replacing they with "the park department", clearing any confusion.

Answer: I have a feeling that the answer is (C)

Explanation: Saying “they would“ would be confusing because it doesn’t give out the definite person or people who would add more playing fields in the city park.

What does the speaker say about the value of the criticism leveled against his love by the end of the poem in the canonization

Answers

Answer:

The speaker said that the criticisms leveled against his love would have no effect on him and his lover as their love will be canonized and remembered by people long after they were gone.

Explanation:

In the fifth and last stanza of his poem, the poet explained that people would epitomize his love. They would be remembered and many would beg for a pattern of their love because it was unique. In the beginning of the poem, the speaker recounts as his love is criticized by others. He is unperturbed by the criticism and tells them to mind their business.

He believes strongly that despite the criticism, his love would be celebrated by the world after he and his lover had died.

The word 'extensively' is a degree adverb with a -ly Suffix. To do so something extensively means that a task gets done to a great extent. In this example, it doesn´t refer to either history or French because those are not verbs that can be modified by an adverb. There´s only one verb, 'researched', which can be modified by it. As it´s customarily, the adverb is after the verb that is modifying.

What is rhyme scheme?

The arrangement of rhymes towards the conclusion of each line in a work of literature or music is known as a rhyme scheme. Lines identified alongside the same letter always rhyme with one another, which is the standard method of referencing it. There are two types of rhyme schemes: those that apply only a single stanza and those that follow the same pattern over the whole section

There are even more sophisticated variations on these forms, such as the sestina, which calls for specific phrases to be repeated in a complex arrangement. Poetry need not rhyme; a four-line stanza having non-rhyming elements could be regarded as following the ABCD pattern. ababcc is the correct rhyme scheme.

Therefore, the correct option is option C.
