What does Thoreau say about serving your country through the military? why does he say this?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Thoreau was greatly opposed to military efforts such as the Mexican-American War but he was not inherently a pacifist. He believed it was in an individuals rights to choose not to support a war effort that they believed to be unjust. Therefore, it could be argued that he would support an individuals war efforts if the war was believed to be just and valued for the people, but if not then he would not support a soldiers service to the country through the military.

Which of the following statements is false?a. Adverbs modify verbs.
b. Adverbs modify adjectives.
c. Adverbs modify nouns.
d. Adverbs modify adverbs.

Answers

The correct answer is letter c. Adverbs modify nouns. Adverb is a part of speech that modifies a verb, an adjective and another adverb. It is a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc. (e.g., gently, quite, then, there ).

This is because an adverb is a word that modifies/describes a verb -he sings loudly-, an adjective -very tall-, another adverb -ended too quickly-, or even a whole sentence -Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella-. Adverbs often end in -ly, but some -such as fast- look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts. So, everything but answer C. is actually an adverb.

Hope this helps! I know the other guy answered but I wanted to anyway.

I also just noticed this was asked in 2016 but oops.
