why the voting age should not be lowered to 16
Anyone under 18 is not mature enough to participate in voting, or elections. Kids may not have as much knowledge in voting as adults. At 18, the legal voting age, you are expected to be mature enough, and have more knowledge in elections.
Hope this helps!
- Alice
Final answer:
Lowering the voting age to 16 may not be advisable due to a lack of maturity and life experience. 16-year-olds may not have enough knowledge about political issues and may be more easily influenced by others. Changing the voting age could also create inconsistencies in the legal system and rights and responsibilities.
Explanation:
The voting age should not be lowered to 16 because 16-year-olds may not have the necessary maturity and life experience to make informed decisions that can impact the future of a country. Voting requires understanding complex political issues, evaluating different candidates and their policies, and making informed choices based on one's values and beliefs. Additionally, 16-year-olds are still in the process of completing their education and may not have learned enough about civics and government to make informed voting decisions.
Lowering the voting age could also lead to an increase in uninformed or coerced voting. Younger individuals may be more susceptible to peer pressure or influence from parents or other adults. They may vote based on popular opinion or what others expect them to vote for, rather than independently evaluating candidates and issues.
Finally, the voting age is often tied to other legal rights and responsibilities, such as driving, marrying, and serving on a jury. Changing the voting age could create inconsistencies in the legal system and complicate the understanding of rights and responsibilities at different ages.

which statement is an example of a paradox
Answer:
I think its B. but I'm not sure! :)
Explanation:
The defenition of a paradox is "a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth."
Based on this, the correct answer is either B. or C., I believe, but I'm pretty sure its B. Sorry that I couldn't give you a more confident answer!
The correct answer is B. You have to be cruel to be kind
Explanation:
In language, a paradox refers to a statement that might contain contradictory or opposite ideas or terms, but that despite this can be true and logical. This differs from an oxymoron because in oxymoron contradictory terms are presented but these are not part of broader statements that the reader needs to interpret to understand the real meaning. This implies, from the options given the one that is an example of a paradox is "You have to be cruel to be kind" because this presents two contradictory ideas "cruel" and "kind" in a broader statement or action and despite this, it might be considered as true.

what does this excerpt from the end of the "the yellow wallpaper" tell the reader
Answer:
I believe that the best answer to the question here: What does this excerpt from the end of "The Yellow Wallpaper" tell the reader, would be, C: The narrator believes the window bars will not allow her to escape.
Explanation:
"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Stetson about a woman who has to spend her entire summer vacation cooped up in a mansion, and particularly an old nursery room papered with yellow wallpaper, with her husband John, his sister and their child. Although at first the woman, who is the narrator, tells us that she despises the wallpaper, as time goes by, and since she is forced to remain where she is, she starts to develop a sort of interest in it as she starts to see that there is much more to the paper than she first thought. Images, and then figures, start to appear, until she is sure she sees a woman´s shape behind the jail-like pattern. At the same time, she starts to see that the woman from the paper also appears on the garden outside, creeping. The appearance of disappearance both in the pattern, or the garden, will depend entirely on the light (sunlight or moonlight), and depending on the reflections on the windows, that woman will turn into many. At the end of the story the narrator and the woman from the pattern become one but they realize they cannot escape, as the windows are barred and cannot be opened. So, it almost seems like she tells herself that even if she had wanted to, she won´t because she cannot open them, it would be misunderstood by others and besides, she could see multiple women out there, creeping, like she did. It almost becomes like the wanderings of a child who knows she cannot get away with what she wanted to do originally, but still gives herself justification for not trying it. That is why the best choice is C.
Answer: c
Explanation: the narrator believes that she was once behind the wallpaper herself

students have been getting worse grades.
What type of fallacy is used here?
O
A
False causality
O
B. Begging the question
O C. Ad hominem
OD. Straw man
The correct answer is A. False causality
Explanation:
False causality is a type of fallacy or invalid argument that relies on using an event that occurred at the same time than another to explain the second event which implies one event is attributed as the cause of other based on their correlation. This is considered as a fallacy because two events that occur at the same time are not always related or one is the cause of the other. This type of fallacy is the one presented in "Ever since they built the bowling alley in town, students have been getting worse grades" because this person believes the bowling alley is responsible for the students' grades just because both events occur at the same time; however, these two events seem not to be related and this makes the argument a fallacy of false causality.
In 300 words or less, identify and define the different types of context clues.
Answer:
These are clues that are a word or phrase, and its meaning is explained right after its use. An example would be "Buckle, which is a store for male and females that sells jeans, shirts, and boots, is becoming more popular today."
Explanation:
Context clues are a reading tool that consists of looking at the surrounding information of an unknown word in order to infer the meaning of that word. There are mainly five types of context clues: synonym clue, which we can use when a text uses a similar word to the unfamiliar word; antonym or contrast clue: useful to determine the meaning of a word when there is another word with an opposite meaning; explanation clue: when the unknown word is explained or defined; inference clue: which consists of looking to the ideas of a whole paragraph or text to determine the meaning of a word, and lastly, punctuation clue, which consists of looking how texts are punctuated, for example, when a word or phrase is enclosed in dashes, parentheses or brackets, we can infer that it encloses a definition or explanation of a word.
In this speech, Anthony argues that women should have the right to vote. Which sentence from the passage does Anthony use to summarize her argument?
A: In the adoption of the Fourteenth amendment settled that question forever in its first sentence
B: There was always a conflict of opinion, prior to the war, as to whether they were synonymous terms
C: The only question left to be settled is: Are woman persons?
D: Though the words persons, people, inhabitants, electors, citizens, are all used indiscriminately in the national and state constitutions
Answer:
C: The only question left to be settled is: Are woman persons?
Explanation:
Susan B. Anthony was a suffragist who was arrested and convicted by the United States supreme court for casting her vote during the elections in 1872. The cause of the arrest was that only men were allowed to vote, and thus Susan, who was a woman, had no right to vote.
In her "Speech After Being Convicted of Voting", she implores why women were denied the same rights as men. According to the Fourteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, every citizen irrespective of gender have the same rights. So she argued why she, even though a woman, was denied her right. Arguing for the same voting rights as that of the men, Anthony posed the question "Are Women Persons?". This perfectly summarizes her argument of demanding for the equality of women to their male counterparts.
In this lesson, you will examine the central idea of Chapter 2 in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. In this chapter, Tom uses ingenuity and his knowledge of human nature to convince others to do his assigned chore of painting the fence. Once you have read the chapter, write a journal entry discussing Tom’s theory about work versus play. How does he convince Jim and the other boys to do his work for him? How does his technique with Jim differ from that of the other boys? Why do you think this is? Think about your first impressions of Tom from Chapter 1. Has your opinion of him changed based on the events in this chapter? Your response should be about 150 words in length, and use details from the text to support your ideas.
Answer:
Tom convinces the other boys to do his work by making painting the fence with white wash seem priceless, fun, enjoyable, and something that they would want to "pay" him to do. He uses reverse psychology to make the job seem this way. He pretends to enjoy white washing to fence so much that he wants people to pay him in gifts to do his job for him. Its a major win for Tom, since he doesn't have to do any of the work, the job gets done really good (3 coats of white wash), and he gets many gifts. (Six firecracker, a kitten with one eye, a brass door knob, ect...) The way that Tom's technique differs for Jim is that he ingores Jim at the start to make Jim think that he enjoys white washing the fence. This makes Jim want to white wash the fence. Tom plays hard to get waiting for Jim to bribe him to do his work. He backs his act up by saying that he doesn't see it as work, but as play, then he continues to say,"All I know, is, it suits Tom Sawyer." this makes Jim really enticed to do the work because Tom wouldn't say that boring, lenghty work suits him. He would say that fun work suits him in Jim's mind so Jim wants to try the work.

Read the following excerpt from Patrick Henry's March 23, 1775, speech:
If we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve inviolate
those inestimable privileges for which we have been so
long contending-if we mean not basely to abandon the
noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged,
and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon,
until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained-
we must fight!
Which statement best explains how Patrick Henry uses parallelism in the
passage to influence the audience?
A. Henry carefully lists the principles that all the colonists follow,
principles that their British rulers do not share.
B. The repetition of the word "fight" is meant to stir up the listeners'
violent hatred of the British.
) C. By constantly referring to "we," Henry makes it obvious that both
he and the audience must sue for peace together.
O
D. Repeating the words "if we" emphasizes the number of values that
Henry and the audience have in common.
Answer:
Explanation:
B: In this passage, he uses fight only once. The answer is not B.
A: The second part of the choice we don't know to be true of the British. They may very well have the same values; they may not want to share them.
C: We must fight does not sound like they are trying to sue for peace. It cannot be C
D: The answer is D. Patrick Henry is putting into words what everyone in the audience feels.
D is the answer.
Answer:
D. Repeating the words "if we" emphasizes the number of values that Henry and the audience have in common.
Explanation:
In the excerpt from Patrick Henry's speech, he makes use of parallel structures to further influence the audience. In fact, he repeats the phrase "If we" three times to highlight the importance of the expressions that follow: "be free," "perserve" and not "to abandon the noble struggle" America has been involved in.
Read the passage.
(1) The umbrella dates back more than 3,000 years to Mesopotamia. (2) That ancient land was located in the Middle East. (3) The Middle East is a hot and sunny part of the world. (4) Royalty there demanded protection from the sun. (5) People developed the umbrella for this purpose. (6) Use of the umbrella as a sunshade then spread to ancient Europe. (7) In fact, if you analyze the origin of the word umbrella, you will see that it reflects the umbrella’s original purpose. (8) Umbrella comes from the Latin word umbra. (9) Umbra means “shade.” (10) Eventually, the Romans used the umbrella to protect themselves from the rain. (11) They used the umbrella to protect themselves from the sun as well. (12) Today, umbrellas are used mainly as raingear.
Which is the most effective way to combine sentences 10 and 11?
Eventually, the Romans using the umbrella to protect themselves from the rain as well as the sun.
Eventually using the umbrella as protection from the rain as well as the sun, the Romans.
Eventually, the Romans used for protection from the rain as well as the sun, the umbrella.
Answer:
Eventually, the Romans using the umbrella to protect themselves from the rain as well as the sun.
The sentences can be effectively combined to state that 'Eventually, the Romans used the umbrella to protect themselves from both the rain and the sun.'
The most effective way to combine sentences 10 and 11 from the passage is to rephrase them to clearly convey that the Romans used umbrellas for dual purposes. Thus, an appropriate combination that maintains the original meaning could be:
Eventually, the Romans used the umbrella to protect themselves from both the rain and the sun.
By using this concise structure, we maintain the subject 'the Romans' at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the verb 'used', and then we state the two purposes of 'protection from the rain and the sun' sequentially, which is clear and direct.

Answer:
The answer is indeed: [...] began, "I..."
Explanation:
The sentence we are studying here is written in direct speech. A sentence in direct speech replicates the exact words said by a certain person. To make that clear, the words said by the person are placed within quotation marks and separated from the rest by a comma.
"OK," the representative began, "I can do it the new way."The words inside the quotation marks are the exact words said by the representative. That's why there are commas separating them from the structure the representative began.

What is the primary setting and action of Book 13 of the Odyssey?
A.
Calypso capturing Ulysses on Ogygia
B.
Telemachus traveling to Sparta
c.
Ulysses retuming to Ithaca
D.
Ulysses traveling in disguise to Crete
Answer:
Explanation:
The first four books of The Odyssey largely focus on Telémachus, the son of Odysseus. They are often called the
Telémachia.
***Book 1: [Where our textbook begins.] Homer invokes the muse. He begins his story with Odysseus trapped on the
island of Calypso, a nymph who wants to take Odysseus as her lover. Athena talks Zeus into pulling strings to set
Odysseus free. Then Athena disguises herself to visit Odysseus's son, Telémachus in Ithaca. There, she finds out that
Odysseus's house is overrun by greedy suitors who have infested the place. They are trying to woo Penelope, Odysseus's
wife. Athena advises Telémachus to call a council and then travel to nearby islands and seek news of Odysseus's
whereabouts.
Book 2: Telémachus calls the council and takes the speaker's staff. He denounces the suitors, but Antinoüs blames
Penelope for her delaying tactics. The gods send an omen of fighting eagles, which a soothsayer claims indicates
Odysseus will soon come home. Eurymachus accuses this prophet of being bribed by Telémachus. He states the suitors
won't leave until Penelope picks one. Telémachus proposes that he be given a ship and crew. He will sail out to seek
news. If Odysseus is dead, Penelope will be available for marriage after the funeral is held.
Book 3: Telémachus sails to King Nestor at Pylos, who tells him stories of the Trojan War and when Odysseus was last
seen. Telémachus takes a chariot to travel to Sparta to speak with Menelaus and find further clues.
Book 4: Telémachus visits King Menelaus. The King weeps because Telémachus resembles Odysseus so much,
reminding Menelaus of his lost friend. He and Queen Helen tell more stories of Odysseus's exploits. Meanwhile, at
Ithaca, the suitors are arranging to murder Telémachus so he won't be able to inherit the throne.
Book 5: The God Hermes, sent by Zeus in Book 1, arrives on Ogygia, where Calypso has trapped Odysseus. He finds
Odysseus weeping on the beach, yearning for his family, and he orders Calypso to release him. Odysseus builds a raft
from palm trees and sets sail. Poseidon spots Odysseus, and raises sea-storms to shipwreck him.
Book 6-8: Odysseus washes ashore among the Phaeacians. Princess Nausicaä finds him, and he is treated to a banquet,
where he retells the story of how he came to this situation, filling in the details of his journey after he left King
Menelaus.
***Book 9: [Our textbook includes this section.] Odysseus tells about his raid on Ismarus, his stop at the country of the
Lotus-Eaters, his trip to the island of the Cyclopes and his quick-thinking in blinding the Cyclops (Polyphemus) and
escaping his lair. He explains how this angered Poseidon.
Book 10: Odysseus tells about Aeolus's gift of a bag filled with winds and about how his curious sailors opened it too
early, releasing a wind that blew them off course to Aeolia. His crew next barely escapes from the Island of the
Laestrygonians, vicious cannibals. (The Laestrygonians destroy all his men and boats except the one boat Odysseus and
a handful of his men are on). The survivors next land at Aeaea, where the witch Círcë lives. She lures the scouting party
with her bewitching beauty, then uses a wand to transform them into pigs. Only Odysseus escapes because of his
suspicious nature. The other crewmen are too terrified to help, but Odysseus uses the magical herb "Moly" to protect
himself from magical transformation. When her spells don't affect Odysseus, he threatens her life until she relents and
restores his men to human shape. Odysseus then uses his own charms to seduce Círcë so she will help him get past the
sea-threats ahead. He and his men spend nearly a year with her on the island, and in the end Círcë agrees to help
Odysseus get home.
Book 11: Círcë gives Odysseus directions on how to make a magical journey into Hades, the land of the dead, where he
can learn from ancient spirits how to safely make it home. He sacrifices a ram and a black ewe, and he feeds the blood
to the ghosts so they can take form and talk.
***Book 12: [Our book contains this section.] Following Círcë's advice, Odysseus succeeds in getting past the sirens,
Scylla, and Charybdis. His starving crew, however, kill and eat sacred cows belong to Heliós (Hyperion or Apollo, the
Greek Sun-God). The gods raise storms that drive the boat all the way back to Charybdis. There, Odysseus's ship sinks
and his men drown. Only Odysseus thinks quickly enough to save himself, and he washes ashore on Ogygia, where
Calypso enslaves him. [This spot is chronologically where Book 1 and Book 5 begin in medias res.]

Hyperbole is an example of exaggeration. I'll go insane if I don't get invited to the party.
What is Hyperbole?Hyperbole, hyperbolic (listen)) is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis (literally 'growth'). In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes, evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually not meant to be taken literally.
Hyperbole has been used throughout literature for many centuries. Heroic dramas, which are dramas with an emphasis on grandeur and excess, often make use of hyperbole to extend the effect and epic nature of the genre. Modern tall tales also make use of hyperbole to exaggerate the feats and characteristics of their protagonists. For example, the American tall tale about Paul Bunyan relies heavily on hyperbole to establish Bunyan's giant stature and abilities.
For hyperbole to be effective it needs to be obvious, deliberate, and outlandish. Using hyperbolic speech as a character trait can denote an unreliable narrator.
Emerson's Concord Hymn uses hyperbole in the lines "Here once the embattled farmers stood / And fired the shot heard round the world."
In Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, the protagonist emerges from his shelter to find total destruction, and makes the hyperbolic statement that "Dresden was like the moon now, nothing but minerals." The hyperbole conveys how completely the city was ruined.
