Answer:
b) The author thinks that famous people can accredit their success to taking frequent naps.
Explanation:
In the given excerpt from "The Secret Truth About Napping", the author lists the numerous personalities in history who had taken naps. He argues that despite the claims of mid-day naps as detrimental, these famous men have still managed to produce one of the best discoveries and artworks in world history.
Citing Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Leonardo Da Vinci, etc. the author argues how taking naps helped these men to 'discover' what they are famous for now. And in that sense, it seems that the author thinks these famous people's success is in part because of the naps they took.
Thus, the correct answer is option b.

WHAT TO THE SLAVE IS THE FOURTH OF JULY?
By Frederick Douglass
Extract from an Oration, at Rochester, July 5, 1852
Fellow-Citizens—Pardon me, and allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here to-day? What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? and am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits, and express devout gratitude for the blessings, resulting from your independence to us?
But, such is not the state of the case. I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. The blessings in which you this day rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity, and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought life and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony. Do you mean, citizens, to mock me, by asking me to speak to-day? ...
Fellow-citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions, whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are to-day rendered more intolerable by the jubilant shouts that reach them. If I do forget, if I do not faithfully remember those bleeding children of sorrow this day, "may my right hand forget her cunning, and may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth!" To forget them, to pass lightly over their wrongs, and to chime in with the popular theme, would be treason most scandalous and shocking, and would make me a reproach before God and the world. My subject, then, fellow-citizens, is AMERICAN SLAVERY. I shall see this day and its popular characteristics from the slave's point of view. Standing there, identified with the American bondman, making his wrongs mine, I do not hesitate to declare, with all my soul, that the character and conduct of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this Fourth of July. Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting.
Read the following line from the text:
I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us.
Why does Douglass say he is not included? (5 points)
He cannot relate to the sorrow the country feels for their misguided policies on slavery.
He was told by someone in the crowd to leave.
He feels disconnected from a nation that has endorsed slavery.
He feels uncertain of his own nationality in such a melting pot of a country.
Answer:
The reason why Douglass says he is not included it:
C. He feels disconnected from a nation that has endorsed slavery.
Explanation:
Douglass was a former slave fighting for the abolition of slavery in America. Invited to give a speech celebrating America's independence from England, Douglass felt disconnected. How could he celebrate freedom when that freedom was selective? Slaves were not free. They were working for and dying in the hands of people who saw them as inferior, as possessions. How come those very people now want a former slave to celebrate with them as if others are not suffering? That is why Douglass says he is not included in the celebration. As a matter of fact, that very celebration clearly shows how different it felt to be white and to be black in America.

Can someone give me a review on this
Austin M
I named a poem after you
Thought it would help the healing
Start the stopping
Of all the pain I feel
Its been three years, maybe four
I'm so full of regret, nostalgia, agony
But you've blocked me out and moved on from
All the things you did to me
All the things I did to you
I guess I'm stuck
I blame myself for what I should have said
Would have done
Could have been...better
No words could bring you back into my life
No gestures could overcome the chasm I crafted
No pleading would open your heart to me
No sacrifice can undo my mistakes
I'm hopeful we could reconnect someday
I have no reason to hope
I think it keeps me sane
Helps me cope with the errors I made as a teenager
I threw you away, didn't I?
I run the words "I'm sorry" over my lips
Across the folds of my brain and to my fingers
There's so much depth to those words for me
Yet if they ever reached you they'd never be enough
The more time that passes the more I miss you
I could have saved our friendship years ago
But now you're truly gone
If I tried to contact you I'd be a stalker
Creepy, restraining order worthy
You'd block me immediately anyway
My words will never reach you.
Answer:
I feel for you. Wether it was a friendship or breakup, and no matter the circumstances losing someone you care deeply about always hurt, and the feeling of missing them will always linger. You will wish and wonder what you could've done differently, and you convey your emotions beautifully throughout the poem.
I hope that one day you'll able to talk to them again, and maybe, just maybe start over. Like I also wish I could.

Answer:
In our lives, we will be placed in many situations where we will have to choose to do a hard right thing or an easy wrong thing. Let's say you're walking in public and you see that somebody has parked their car in the handicap parking spot. The easy thing to do would be to continue on your day and hope that the person moves their car before someone needs that parking spot. The action that actually takes courage and effort though, would be to call the police and report that someone parked there without signifying that they were disabled. This is an example of an easy wrong thing and a hard right thing. We should do our best to try to make the right choices on a daily basis.
