Read this excerpt from Thomas Paine's famous essay "The Crisis Number One":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.

God would not take sides between the British and the American colonists.

What is 4.02 as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form

Answers

We look at the .02 to form the fraction it has two digits that end in the hundreths place so we can place 2 over 100 and it still equals .2 (2)/(100).  Our fraction is now 4 (2)/(100), but this is not reduced. We look at the (2)/(100) and see what it can be divided by in this case the lowest common factor is 2. We divide the top by 2 and the bottom by 2. This gives us (1)/(50). The end product is4 (1)/(50).

He hasn't shown up here because he called off the party

Answers

Well, the clause i gonna start with a subordinating conjunction. They basically make it so that a sentence becomes dependent on another. The sentence in bold would have been complete had it not been for the subordinating clause:

He hasn't shown up here becausehe called off the party

The entire clause acts as an adverb which explains why he hasn't shown up.

*He (Hasn't showed up here because he called off the party)*

[will mark brainliest]How do artists (writers, singers, producers etc) express who they are through their craft? Try to give an example.

Answers

Singers write lyrics that relate to what they are going through, and convey their emotion through the music. Writers do about the same but with stories. Producers (of movies) write the script of a movie related to what they like/are going through.

The artist expresses themselves when they write their songs. They express their feeling or what they been through in these songs. An example that i liked was Billie Eilish, where she expresses herself in her music and her lyrics actually have meaning to them. She expresses a nightmare she had about (something bad) and then told the story in her lyrics. It was about her jumping off the golden gate bridge. it was just a dream, but it’s a painful reminder that Billie, despite her superstar status, is a human being who has her own personal experiences with isolation. Many of her dreams influence her music. Billie explained the role that her dreams play in her life. “Dreams are a really intense part of my life,” she said. “I’ll go through a month where I’ll have the same nightmare every single night—a dream that’s so bad that the whole day is off or a dream that’s so good that none of it’s true.” In a interview billie basically explained the whole thing. the song also relates to Billie’s close relationship with her brother, Finneas. In the lyrics, Finneas reassures Billie that he will always be there for her and will support her no matter what. In conclusion: Billie Eilish struggles with feelings of isolation and depression, much like we all do. But the silver lining here is that she has her big brother by her side to help her out when times are tough. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be listening to this track on repeat and wallowing in my feels for the rest of the day:)

1. Exposition, where characters, settings, and plot are introduced.
2. Rising action/conflict, the trail to the climax, in which a problem is introduced.
3. Climax, the high point in the story, much like the top of a roller-coaster. It is full of tension.
4. Falling Action, where the story slows down after the climax's excitement.
5. Resolution, where the conflict is resolved and the story completes.
