Read the following excerpt from a speech. Then answer the question that follows.

In Turkey, burping after a meal is a sign of appreciation. Among the Inuit people, passing gas after a meal is a sign of gratitude. In America, neither of these activities are acceptable at the dinner table. A whopping 91 percent of teenagers agree that manners are important, but 70 percent of teenagers feel that their fellow teenagers do not often practice good manners. Good manners would include saying “please” and “thank you,” not interrupting others when speaking, looking someone in the eye when speaking to him or her, and saying “excuse me” when you bump into someone.

It’s important to teach children good manners from an early age. Although the best place to learn manners would be in the home, not all children have good role models. That’s where schools come in. There are several private schools across the nation that include manners and etiquette as part of the curriculum. Such classes should be required in every school. Could you imagine how these courses could impact our society if every student took them?

What is the purpose of this speech?

A.
to persuade schools to teach manners in the classroom
B.
to urge families to teach their children how to burp when visiting Turkey
C.
to show how manners are no longer considered important in American society
D.
to describe some interesting manners around the world

Answer:

The answer is D

New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities(Multiple choice 100 pts + brainliest!!!)

In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.

Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.

In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.

Which sentence from the introduction paragraph serves as the author's thesis?

In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity.
The Industrial Revolution began in Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines.
The United States was slower than Britain to fully embrace the changes.

Great Britain.

3. A document written to motivate weary troops in their fight for American independence.

A. Thomas Paine develops his
argument by using logical
arguments to show why it was
impractical to for England to
continue ruling the colonies.

B. Thomas Paine develops his
argument by presenting
counterarguments and showing
why they are wrong.

C. Thomas Paine develops his
argument by using powerful
metaphors to portray the
relationship between England
and the colonies.

1. "I have heard it asserted by some, that as America hath flourished under her former
connection with Great Britain, that the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness, and will always have the same effect. Nothing can be more fallacious than this kind of argument. We may as well assert, that because a child has thrived upon milk, that it is never to have meat: or that the first
twenty years of our lives is to become a precedent for the next twenty" (36).

2. "This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe. Hither have they fled, not from the tender embrace of the mother, but from the cruelty of the monster" (36).

3. "As to government matters, it is not in the powers of Britain to do this continent justice: The business of it will soon be too weighty, and intricate, to be managed with any tolerable degree of convenience, by a power so distant from us, and so very ignorant of us; for if they cannot conquer us, they cannot govern us. To be always running three or four thousand miles with a tale or a petition. waiting four or five months for an answer, which when obtained requires five or six more to explain it in, will in a few years be looked upon as folly and childishness- there was a time when it was proper, and there is a proper time for it to cease" (37).

What is the main idea of this text?



[4] I was arrested Friday on a charge of parading without a permit. Now there is nothing wrong with an ordinance which requires a permit for a parade, but when the ordinance is used to preserve segregation and to deny citizens the First Amendment privilege of peaceful assembly and peaceful protest, then it becomes unjust.

[5] I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.

[6] We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. But I am sure that, if I had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal. If I lived in a communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws.
