Read the excerpt from "Homesick Blues."
Do you want to know what turned out to be the last straw for me? I was walking down to the corner delicatessen one day, and a man asked me for two dollars
He said he needed it for bus fare to get to the hospital to visit his mother who was dying. I told him I didn't have any cash, although I was holding $12.00 in my
back pocket. The truth was that I didn't believe him. I thought he was lying to me because I'd heard so many lies here and because this same man had told me
the same story before, and if his mother has been dying that long she should be in a medical journal, and because I am tired of it.
Later, after I got back to the apartment, I thought about the man and about me. The poor guy was worse off than me and all he wanted was two lousy dollars.
When had I become so jaded, so suspicious, so calloused? I don't like that part of me, and I don't like the city that has brought it out for me to see.
Which sentence best shows a conflict between an individual and society?

A. Later, after I got back to the apartment, I thought about the man and about me.

Answer:

Washington was established as the capital of the United States as the result of a compromise following seven years of negotiation by members of the U.S.

Explanation:

Washington was established as the capital of the United States as the result of a compromise following seven years of negotiation by members of the U.S. Congress as they tried to define the concept of a “federal enclave.” On July 17, 1790, Congress passed the Residence Act, which created a permanent seat for the federal government. George Washington, the country’s first president (1789–97), carefully chose the site, which is on the Potomac River’s navigation head (to accommodate oceangoing ships), and near two well-established colonial port cities, George Town (now Georgetown, a section of the city of Washington) and Alexandria, Va. This location bridged the Northern and Southern states, but Washington called it “the gateway to the interior” because he hoped it would also serve to economically bind the Western territories to the Eastern Seaboard—the Tidewater and the Piedmont regions—and thereby secure the allegiance of the frontier to the new country.

The city was named for George Washington, the first president of the United States and a Founding Father, and the federal district is named after Columbia, a female personification of the nation.

How does a reader make an inference about a character?

A.) By using information about the character that the author has provided in the footnotes.

B.) By using information from another source to learn more about the character.

C.) By using the authors biographical information to learn more about the character.

D.) By using the character's actions, interactions, and words to learn more about him or her.

Answers

The correct answer is D. By using the character's actions, interactions, and words to learn more about him or her.

Explanation

A narrative inference is a process that a reader makes when constructing an imaginary image of a character (conclusion) from the descriptions made of it, such as their actions, interactions, thoughts, among others (premises). Additionally, it is a way to get logical conclusions from different situations based on information such as actions, words, and interactions. For example, the reader can infer one character is evil based on words or actions. So, the correct answer is D. By using the character's actions, interactions, and words to learn more about him or her.

Rebuttal this counter-argument: People should attain the legal rights of adulthood at the age of 21 or up because they have become mature, physically, and mentally strong.
My argument is People should attain the legal rights of adulthood at the age of 18 because that’s when our minds can start developing, especially with more responsibilities and new experiences.

Answers

Yeah your argument is correct.

At 18 you can vote, the present-day youth are literate and enlightened and the lowering of the voting age would provide to the unrepresented youth of the country an opportunity to give vent to their feelings and help them become a part of the political process.

It is, therefore, proposed to reduce the voting age from 21 years to 18 years. Hence, the court argument is proved as wrong. 18 have the capability to vote.

Answer:

Explanation:

Your argument is People should attain the legal rights of adulthood at the age of 18 because that’s when our minds can start developing, especially with more responsibilities and new experiences.

Rebuttal to your argument and support the original argument of People should attain the legal rights of adulthood at the age of 21 or up because they have become mature, physically, and mentally strong:

At the age of 18, the mind just starts developing. With more responsibilities and new experiences, it can be overwhelming and be influenced by others.  If the mind is allowed to further develop and become more mature at age of 21, it will be able to better handle the responsibilities and rights of adulthood.

When evaluating an argument, the tone can reveal the author's bias to a reader. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What is author's bias?

An author's bias refers to their personal beliefs, values, and opinions that may influence their writing. Bias can be conscious or unconscious and can manifest in various ways, such as selective presentation of information, use of loaded language, or manipulation of facts to support their viewpoint.

For example, a journalist with a liberal bias may choose to cover news stories that align with their political beliefs and present them in a way that portrays their preferred party or candidate in a positive light. On the other hand, a conservative journalist may have a bias towards a more right-leaning agenda and may present their stories in a way that aligns with their beliefs.
