Read the following excerpt from the speech "cotton is king" by james henry hammond. which type of evidence does hammond present to support his claim that "cotton is king"?
cotton is king . . who can doubt, that has looked at recent events, that cotton is supreme? when the abuse of credit had destroyed credit and annihilated confidence; when thousands of the strongest commercial houses in the world were coming down, and hundreds of millions of dollars of supposed property evaporating in thin air; when you came to a dead lock, and revolutions were threatened, what brought you up? fortunately for you it was the commencement of the cotton season, and we have poured in upon you one million six hundred thousand bales of cotton just at the crisis to save you from destruction. that cotton, but for the bursting of your speculative bubbles in the north, which produced the whole of this convulsion, would have brought us $100,000,000. we have sold it for $65,000,000 and saved you. thirty-five million dollars we, the slaveholders of the south, have put into the charity box for your magnificent financiers, your "cotton lords," your "merchant princes."
a. expert opinions
b. allusions

Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of romeo and juliet. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: 15 therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. friar laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers. feels that romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married. enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can others. wants to caution romeo about the consequences of his actions.
