Answer:
Considering the many challenges facing public schools, it’s understandable that many people would be eager to pursue new options. Supporters of school choice point out that under the current public school system, parents with economic means already exercise school choice by moving from areas with failing or dangerous schools to neighborhoods with better, safer schools. Their argument is that school choice would allow all parents the freedom, regardless of income level, to select the school that provides the best education (Chub and Moe). Schools would then have to compete for students by offering higher academic results and greater safety. Schools unable to measure up to the standards of successful schools would fail and possibly close. [Acknowledge Valid Parts] Activists within the school choice movement can be applauded for seeking to improve public education, but the changes they propose would in fact seriously damage public education as a whole.
[Counter Arguments] One of the biggest dangers of school choice is the power behind large corporations specializing in opening and operating charter schools. Two notable companies are Green Dot, which is the leading public school operator in Los Angeles (Green Dot), and KIPP, which operates 65 schools in 19 different states [KIPP]. These companies represent a growing trend of privatization of public schools by large corporations. It is feared that these corporations could grow to a point that public control of education would be lost. Education policy would be left in the hands of entrepreneurial think tanks, corporate boards of directors, and lobbyists who are more interested in profit than educating students [Miller and Gerson]. [Begin Concluding] Education should be left in the hands of professional educators and not business people with MBAs. To do otherwise is not only dangerous, it defies common sense.
What I liked about this refutation: The writer calmly and clearly outlines the true concerns and reasons why people oppose the opinion. He makes sure the reader knows that he is outlining opposing viewpoints because he gives hints like "Supporters of school choice point out that..." or "Their argument is that...". This is a nice way for readers to be aware of what others think.
Also, towards the end of the first paragraph, and throughout the second paragraph, the writer spends time clearly attacking these opposing views. He helps the reader feel like the opposing views might SEEM good on the surface, but they are indeed not good enough. He helps the reader see this with hints like "One of the biggest dangers of school choice is..." or "It is feared that...". This paragraph particularly draws in any hostile readers; the writer cunningly draws them in by complimenting their views when he says "Activists within the school choice movement can be applauded for seeking to improve public education," but he immediately points out the flaws, saying that " the changes they propose would in fact seriously damage public education as a whole." Complimenting the opposing argument really invites all your hesitant readers; they’re not threatened, and they’re now more willing to listen to the arguments.

1. what was a major factor that caused the second Punic war?
2. what was the outcome of the second Punic war?

A. Executive Branch
B. Legislative Branch
C. Judicial Branch
D. Constitution
Answer: D constitution
Explanation: The Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia was winding down, the draft of the United States’ supreme law almost finished, and George Mason, the author of Virginia’s Declaration of Rights, was becoming alarmed. Over the course of the convention, the 61-year-old had come to fear the powerful new government his colleagues were creating. Mason thought the president could become a tyrant as oppressive as George III.
So on September 8, 1787, he rose to ask his fellow delegates a question of historic importance. Why, Mason asked, were treason and bribery the only grounds in the draft Constitution for impeaching the president? Treason, he warned, wouldn’t include “attempts to subvert the Constitution.”

Why did Egypt sell their “shares' ( partial ownership) of the Suez Canal to England?
Answer:First, Britain took partial control of the canal in 1875. This happened because the ruler of Egypt was in serious financial difficulties. He owned a large bloc of shares in the canal and sold them off to take care of his debt. This gave the British partial control of the canal, but they still did not have complete control of it because the majority of the shares were owned by the French.
Second, in 1882, Britain essentially took control of Egypt as a whole. This time, they came at the request of the ruler of Egypt (the son of the ruler who sold the shares). The ruler of Egypt was faced with rebellions from within the country. He asked the British to come in and give him military help in resisting the rebellions. Once there, the British stayed and essentially occupied Egypt. This gave them control over the canal.

Why is there no follow through on the Union success at Dunker Church? A: It was late in the day and darkness was beginning to fall B: There is no leader to unite the Second and Twelfth Corps C: The Union has no more men to send forward
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The Battle of Antietam was fought between the Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia and the Union General George McClellan’s Army of the Potomac, on September 17, 1862, near Antietam Creek near Sharpsburg, Maryland. The battle is considered the bloodsoaked one-day in America's history.
After General H-o-o-ker from Union's army was shot in the foot, he leaves the warfield. After he left, there was no one to follow through on the Union success at Dunker Church. The Union, at that time, lacked a leader to unite the corps.
Therefore, option B is correct.
