Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”

The basketball crashed against the backboard, and point guard sheena lunged for it. as she snatched the ball out of mid-air, the crowd cheered, chanting encouragement for her team, the monarchs. so far, the game had been a disaster. with 15 seconds left to go in the final quarter, the monarchs were 2 points shy of victory. what main idea do the details in the passage suggest? the point guard sheena was not a very good player. the monarchs had never lost a basketball game. the monarchs were worried about losing. the crowd was not supporting the monarchs.
