Read the excerpt from walt whitman’s “song of myself.” the past and present wilt—i have fill’d them, emptied them, and proceed to fill my next fold of the future. listener up there! what have you to confide to me? look in my face while i snuff the sidle of evening, (talk honestly, no one else hears you, and i stay only a minute longer.) do i contradict myself? very well then i contradict myself, (i am large, i contain multitudes.) i concentrate toward them that are nigh, i wait on the door-slab. who has done his day’s work? who will soonest be through with his supper? who wishes to walk with me? will you speak before i am gone? will you prove already too late? which excuse does the speaker offer when he admits that he contradicts himself? his memory lapses as he talks. he is speaking from the heart. he only seems to contradict himself. he contains variety within himself.

The answer is: He contains variety within himself.

In the excerpt from the poem "Song of Myself," individualist Walt Whitman makes reference to the fact that he contradicts himself and that there is nothing wrong with that. He also mentions that he is large and contains multitudes, meaning that there are multiple sides or personalities within himself. For example, he can think or feel in a certain way one day or in certain situation, and think or feel differently in another.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.

a-he encouraged islamic schools to introduce greek texts.

d-he invited greek scholars to teach their texts to the locals.

explanation:

the transmission of the greek classics to latin western europe during the middle ages was a key factor in the development of intellectual life in western europe.[1] interest in greek texts and their availability was scarce in the latin west during the earlier middle ages, but as traffic to the east increased so did western scholarship.
