By eliminating other options, the correct choices are 2, 4, and 5.

Update: Option 4 "he followed out his original design," is incorrect; however, options 2 "Endowed with commonsense, as massive and hard as blocks of granite" and 5 "On the score of delicacy, or any scrupulousness which a finer sensibility might have taught him, the Colonel, like most of his breed and generation, was impenetrable." are the accurate examples.

Leya [2820]
1. Given options <span>A. the ideals of freedom and individualism, B. the present constitution, C. nothing that will endure, D. a legacy of conflict and divisiveness, the accurate choice is C. nothing that will endure.

Additionally, "to bequeath" means to pass something down to future generations or heirs.

2. Looking at options <span>A. of a gentleman prevents him from mingling with common people, B. any nation can blame its ancestors for their hardships, C. any individual's opinion can justify authority over another, D. any government can be easily harmed by false rumors, the correct answer is B. any nation has the right to blame their predecessors for their suffering. Posterity refers to future generations—children, grandchildren—everyone who will live in the world shaped by today's actions. Paine implies that actions taken now will be responsible for the happiness or suffering of posterity, thus they may blame prior generations for their plight.</span> </span>

Read the passage about Yoyo. In two to three sentences, explain how language reveals a conflict she experiences.
Lady bird [2778]

Response: Yoyo exhibits a distinct accent since English is not her first language. The other girls at school tease her because her accent differs from theirs. Consequently, Yoyo feels hesitant to present in front of her peers out of fear that they may ridicule her.

Details: This aligns with English Edge 2020-2021.
