Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

D. Controlled.

Explanation:

In his speech to the Virginia Convention which have now become famously known as the "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death", Patrick Henry implored on the authorities or delegates of the convention to secede from being under the authority of the British. He points why America needs to go to war against its colonizers, to fight for freedom and government, without the need to be governed by a foreign nation.

In the given passage taken from the speech, he questions whether they (Americans) are restless and uncontrollable that they cannot be organized and work together. He wonders why the use of force is the only way they can be "called" to work together to free their nation from the clutches of the English. The word "reconciled" here means "controlled", which is what Henry thinks is why they need to be forced to work together for their liberty.

Answer 2
Answer: The answer is D. Controlled

Helen Grey By Christina Georgina Rossetti 

Because one loves you, Helen Grey, 
Is that a reason you should pout, 
And like a March wind veer about, 
And frown, and say your shrewish say? 
Don't strain the cord until it snaps, 
Don't split the sound heart with your wedge, 
Don't cut your fingers with the edge 
Of your keen wit; you may, perhaps. 

Because you're handsome, Helen Grey, 
Is that a reason to be proud? 
Your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud, 
Your steps go mincing on their way; 
But so you miss that modest charm 
Which is the surest charm of all: 
Take heed, you yet may trip and fall, 
And no man care to stretch his arm. 

Stoop from your cold height, Helen Grey, 
Come down, and take a lowlier place; 
Come down, to fill it now with grace; 
Come down you must perforce some day: 
For years cannot be kept at bay, 
And fading years will make you old; 
Then in their turn will men seem cold, 
When you yourself are nipped and grey.

The language was chosen after her nickname that her husband gave her "my little Portuguese" - because she liked Portuguese poetry (answer 3)
