What do the signers pledge to do at the end of the declaration of independence

Answers

Answer:  The signers added by the final sentence of the Declaration of Independence a promise that quotes: “We Mutually Pledge To Each Other Our Lives, Our Fortunes, And Our Sacred Honor”

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence stated that a government must protect the rights of its people. By that time Britain did not protect the rights of the colonists, hence the idea to stablish a new form of government. They promoted the ideas of equality and the promise can be interpreted as saying the signers of  the Declaration of Independence pledge to live and die for what they believe in.

At the end of the Declaration of Independence, signers pledge to each other theirs "Lives, our Fortunes, and out Sacred Honor. 

What can be inferred about the Cyclops in this excerpt from Homer’s Odyssey? The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind, Nor tamed by manners, nor by laws confined: Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow, They all their products to free nature owe: The soil, untill'd, a ready harvest yields, With wheat and barley wave the golden fields; Spontaneous wines from weighty clusters pour, And Jove descends in each prolific shower, By these no statues and no rights are known, No council held, no monarch fills the throne; But high on hills, or airy cliffs, they dwell, Or deep in caves whose entrance leads to hell. Each rules his race, his neighbour not his care, Heedless of others, to his own severe.a. The Cyclops is warm and hospitable toward his guests.
b. The Cyclops cares for his neighbors’ well-being and advice.
c. The Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world.
d. The Cyclops can survive only in the deep, dark caves on the island.

Answers

The answer comes easy in the first couple of lines that are in the excerpt…

“The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind,
Nor tamed by manners, nor by laws confined:
Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow, [...]”

The words ‘savage,’ ‘nor tamed by manners,’ and ‘nor by laws confined’ all clearly prove that he does not follow rules or laws, and he is not civilized.

This proves that the correct answer is c )  The Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world.


- Marlon Nunez
The correct answer is C - the Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world. It says here that they have no ruler, that they are very crude and savage, uncivilized.
