Part a what argument does the author make in paragraph 8? wind power is an underused resource that has the potential to provide the energy to power electricity for the entire country. wind power is an overrated energy industry that costs more money to develop and maintain than other alternative energy sources. several government bodies must pass legislation to regulate wind power distribution channels before it can be used across the entire country. the use of alternative energy like wind will end dependence on outside sources of energy and immediately improve the environment. part b how effective is the author’s response to the statistics in paragraph 8 that demonstrate that wind power produced a minimal amount of the nation’s electricity in 2012? effective; the author refutes the counterclaim by providing evidence that wind power has produced significantly more energy since 2012. effective; the author acknowledges the counterclaim and explains the u. s. department of energy’s plan to increase the use of wind energy in the future. ineffective; the author avoids addressing the counterclaim by attacking the validity of the study by the awea in 2012. ineffective; the author ignores the counterclaim and instead provides exaggerated praise for the possible contributions of wind power in the future.

After depriving her of all rights as a married woman, if single, and the owner of property, he has taxed her to support a government which recognizes her only when her property can be made profitable to it…. he has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education, all colleges being closed against her…. he has usurped the prerogative of jehovah himself, claiming it as his right to assign for her a sphere of action, when that belongs to her conscience and to her god. he has endeavored, in every way that he could, to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life. now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation--in view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the united states. read the passage on the left to answer the following questions: 4) in what manner was this document patterned off of the preamble to the declaration of independence? a) it uses the same language, but frames women being oppressed by men instead of the 13 colonies being oppressed by the british. b) it uses different language, but argues for a society in which men and women separate like the colonists separated from the british. c) it uses the same language, but frames the notion of men standing up for women instead of the 13 colonies standing up to the british. d) it uses different language, but argues for a society in which men and women join forces to attack the injustices that plague both sexes.
