WILL SUM1 PLS ANSWER THIS QUESTION I HAVE LIKE 2 MINSSS
from President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, 1961

…In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

Consider this sentence from the text:

The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

What figure of speech is Kennedy using in this sentence, and what does he want to make his listeners feel?

He is using irony to suggest sympathy for Americans who have died in battle over the years.
He is using hyperbole to make listeners feel inspired by the sacrifices of those who have gone before them.
He is using personification to compare live Americans with those who have died fighting for their country.
He is using simile to compare audience members with Americans who have fought and died for their country.

Question # 1. The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B.

Question # 1, Part A

What is most likely the author's intent by mentioning the “Rodeo Drive shopping spree” in the following paragraph?

When my parents said the three of us were moving out to California, to a place just north of Los Angeles, my mind immediately went to thoughts of Disneyland and Hollywood, glitz and glamour. I imagined a Rodeo Drive shopping spree to pick out a bikini for the endless days I would be spending on the beach. However, I’d forgotten about my parents’ penchant for the unconventional; they’re definitely “the road less traveled” kind of people. Mom had a gopher snake for a pet when she was younger, and Dad was never happier than when he was climbing near-vertical cliffs that only mountain goats could love. These are not city folk.

Question 1 options:

To show that the narrator comes from a family that is used to spending money.


To reveal the narrator as someone who is shallow and cares only for nice things.


To contrast the narrator's grand dreams with the sparse life her parents have in mind.


To emphasize the narrator's nervousness about moving to a place so far removed from civilization.


Question # 2, Part B

Which sentence from the text best supports your answer in part A?

Question 2 options:

“On the stone staircase that led to the front door, black lizards interrupted their push-ups to twist their heads and eye us as we passed.”


“Our new home consisted of one bedroom, one bathroom, and one big room for everything else.”


“Dad told me the real estate agent had mentioned that coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, rattlesnakes, and even bears roamed these hills.”


“In the city, or even in the suburbs where I had lived before, you could see only the brightest stars in the sky.”

How do these words help to show the dorado’s power?

Write whether each group of words is a fragment or a sentence. If it is a fragment, add a subject or a verb. Write the complete sentence.
