What is the main idea of this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address? Apprehension seems to exist among the people of the Southern States that by the accession of a Republican administration their property
and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension. Indeed,
the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed and been open to their inspection. It is found in nearly all the published
speeches of him who now addresses you. I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that "I have no purpose, directly or
Indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no
inclination to do so." Those who nominated and elected me did so with full knowledge that I had made this and many similar declarations,
and had never recanted them.

A. The Southern states openly flouted and defied the laws of the Constitution of the United States.

B. The Southern states were threatened by Lincoln's fondness for the Northern states.

с. The Southern states' authority was dwarfed by the emerging Northern states of the Union.

D. The Southern states handled their personal affairs of state in an immoral and unethical way.

E. The Southern states had no reason to worry for their personal freedom and well being.

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
