B.
The venue is entirely booked.


C.

D.
Anderson is African American.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: D. Anderson is African American

Due to the fact, that Marian Anderson was African American, the Daughters of the American Revolution, refused to allow Marian the Constitution Hall's rental. This case is just one of many cases of racial prejudice in the  USA. The then first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt and President Roosevelt helped Marian so that she would sing in an open air concert on April 1939. Adding to the conflict, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was pressuring Marian  into not singing in Roosevelt orchestrated concert.  The political and social conflict around Marian's performance was unprecedented for a classical musician. Nevertheless, she was able to perform in Washington DC for a large crowd.

Answers

Answer:

Filling a cup to the top.  

Explanation:

In the poem “Birches” by Robert Frost, a man, probably the narrator looks at some bent birch trees and he's thinking about how they got bent. He imagines that the realistic conclusion is that ice storms bent them but he prefers the idea of a boy swinging on them which is something that he used to do as a child.  

"He always kept his poise to the top branches climbing carefully with the same attention he would fill a cup up to the brim and even above the brim when he flung outward feet first with a flying kick, his way down through the air."

"One by one he subdued his father's trees by riding them down over and over again until he took the stiffness out of them."  

At the end of the poem that the narrator seems to reevaluate his life...

The narrator chooses to see life through the “flexible” imagination of a child instead of adult “stiffness” and be a child again and just swing on birches for the rest of his life.

Which statement best expresses a claim? Although many people believe homework is a crucial part of school, there is evidence to suggest that homework may not be as valuable as once thought. The amount of homework given by some high school teachers is insane and actually has negative effects on other important aspects of a student’s life.
