90 points ! 1. which sentence best states what jefferson thought about his country’s two political parties? they would readily unite to defeat a threat to the united states. they were alike in almost all respects. they both embraced the values that all americans believed in. they both had strengths as well as weaknesses. 2. how does jefferson use the language of the speech to enhance and support the viewpoint expressed in part a? he uses the first-person plural “we” to emphasize that, in spite of differences of opinion, all americans are united in wanting what it is best for the country. jefferson uses repetition to emphasize his beliefs about the government. he uses the word “republican” repeatedly in the speech even though he was a federalist; in this way he demonstrates that the two labels are really meaningless. jefferson uses a metaphor to describe the federalists and the republicans as squabbling siblings who nevertheless would defend each other from any outside threat.

Read the excerpt from elie wiesel’s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was “processing” ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.
