Answer:

D. He points to these tragedies as evidence to support his claim.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's "The Perils of Indifference" was a speech that he gave at the White House on the 12th of April 1999. This speech pronounces his take on one of the harshest human traits that are indifference.

In his speech, Wiesel lists a number of tragedies, "the defeat of Nazism, the collapse of communism, the rebirth of Israel on its ancestral soil, the demise of apartheid, Israel's peace treaty with Egypt, the peace accord in Ireland". These historical events are supporting arguments, evidence for the claim that he made.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Read the excerpt from Woman in the Nineteenth Century by Margaret Fuller.

Yet, then and only then will mankind be ripe for this, when inward and outward freedom for Woman as much as for Man shall be acknowledged as a right, not yielded as a concession. As the friend of the negro assumes that one man cannot by right hold another in bondage, so should the friend of Woman assume that Man cannot by right lay even well-meant restrictions on Woman. If the negro be a soul, if the woman be a soul, apparelled in flesh, to one Master only are they accountable.

How does Fuller develop an argument for women’s rights?

by describing the strength of women’s friendships
by making reference to a biblical lesson
by insisting that everyone with a soul deserves rights
by explaining the history of slavery

The world is very different now. For man
holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish
all forms of human poverty and all forms of
human life. And yet the same revolutionary
beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at
issue around the globe-the belief that the
rights of man come not from the generosity of
the state but from the hand of God.

Which word means "a quotation at the beginning of a novel”?

Read the excerpt from "The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe.

But these other apartments were densely crowded, and in them beat feverishly the heart of life. And the revel went whirlingly on, until at length there commenced the sounding of midnight upon the clock. And then the music ceased, as I have told; and the evolutions of the waltzers were quieted; and there was an uneasy cessation of all things as before. But now there were twelve strokes to be sounded by the bell of the clock; and thus it happened, perhaps, that more of thought crept, with more of time, into the meditations of the thoughtful among those who reveled. And thus, too, it happened, perhaps, that before the last echoes of the last chime had utterly sunk into silence, there were many individuals in the crowd who had found leisure to become aware of the presence of a masked figure which had arrested the attention of no single individual before. And the rumor of this new presence having spread itself whisperingly around, there arose at length from the whole company a buzz, or murmur, expressive of disapprobation and surprise—then, finally, of terror, of horror, and of disgust.

Based on the details in the excerpt, what is the primary purpose of this passage?

Neon signs are often placed in storefronts to attract customers. The very first display of glass tubes filled
with colorful, ignited neon gas was meant to attract only attention, however. In 1910 at the Paris Exposition,
two straight tubes filled with lit neon gas were displayed to show off the new technology. It was not until
1912 that glass tubes were bent into a written message and put in the window of a barber shop to entice
people to come in
