Answer 1

Answer: She infers the most important one. It is a cruel injustice to deny women the right to vote. She says it is an oligarchy based on gender which translated means that women and enslaved by the men in her household. She is not respected as mother. She is not respected as sister or as wife as long as she is not equal to men.
She makes 2 references to the Federal Constitution held to be so important to all Americans.
The first is that the constitution begins with "We the People." Who is we? How is 'we' defined? Does it mean everyone or does it mean just males. History would say most of the time it means just males.
The second reference is a good deal more complex and uses legal jargon. It is an ex post facto law. This is a law that makes it a crime for acting in a legal way. She also uses the term attainder in the same sentence which is the abolishment of a citizen's civil rights after committing a felony. What she means is that any state that passes a law that prohibits half the population from voting is committing an attainder or a ex post facto law, which the constitution expressly forbids.
I think one of the things worth noting is that she committed the felony in the 1872 election (voting illegally), and women did not receive the vote until 1920. That's nearly 48 years between her act and what she was aiming to accomplish. She did not live to see her life's work come to fruition.

C. The U.S. Constitution was written to establish a more effective government than the one under the Articles of Confederation.
D. The first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution list rights that all citizens possess.

Answers

The correct answer is B. The U.S. Constitution should be considered a living document because it can be amended to reflect the values of the time.

Explanation:

A strong claim is considered as a statement that clearly expresses a position about some situation or issue in this case this situation or issue is the U.S. Constitution; additionally to this, claims should only deal with one issue and not report facts but express the author's position or opinion about this as well as the reasons for this position or the elements that compose it, in this way what is being claimed can be supported with evidence. Considering this "The U.S. Constitution should be considered a living document because it can be amended to reflect the values of the time" is a good example of a strong claim because it shows a position that is "the constitution should be considered a living document" , but it also explains why "because it can be amended to reflect the values of the time" this means this not only a fact but some position that can be supported with evidence through a speech or text which is the purpose and features of a strong claim.

B The u.s constitution should be considered a living document because it can be amended to reflect the values of the time :)

Kenning is a double metaphor, usually hyphenated

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Kenning is the use of more than one words to mean a single word. It uses two or more words that may be metaphorical in their sense, replacing a single term but have the same meaning attached to it. It is originally derived from the Norse and Anglo- Saxon form of poetry. The epic narrative poem of "Beowulf" includes lots of kenning it itself, like "whale-road' for sea, and Grendel is called as "shepherd of evil'.

Some examples of kenning in modern English are "book-worm', "fender- bender", "four- eyes", "couch- potato' etc.
