Read the following excerpt from the speech "Cotton Is King" by James Henry Hammond. Which type of evidence does Hammond present to support his claim that "cotton is king"?
Cotton is king . . . Who can doubt, that has looked at recent events, that cotton is supreme? When the abuse of credit had destroyed credit and annihilated confidence; when thousands of the strongest commercial houses in the world were coming down, and hundreds of millions of dollars of supposed property evaporating in thin air; when you came to a dead lock, and revolutions were threatened, what brought you up? Fortunately for you it was the commencement of the cotton season, and we have poured in upon you one million six hundred thousand bales of cotton just at the crisis to save you from destruction. That cotton, but for the bursting of your speculative bubbles in the North, which produced the whole of this convulsion, would have brought us $100,000,000. We have sold it for $65,000,000 and saved you. Thirty-five million dollars we, the slaveholders of the South, have put into the charity box for your magnificent financiers, your "cotton lords," your "merchant princes."

Drama and epic poetry.
Explanation:
Drama was an ancient Greek invention of the 6th century BCE. Drama can be either a tragedy or a comedy and they are supposed to be represented on stage.
Epic poetry, like Homer´s Iliad, is a form of story-telling that recounts certain supposed historical facts through the aid of a hero´s adventures and struggles with fate and, often, with gods. It is a very extended narration.
They are both antecedents of the novel.
It's either Drama or Epic Poetry.
I believe it's drama, since epic poetry was popular in the 1700s.But drama is thousands of years old.

B.) It certainly was cold, he concluded, as he rubbed his numb nose and cheek-bones with his mittened hand. He was a warm-whiskered man, but the hair on his face did not protect the high cheek-bones and the eager nose that thrust itself aggressively into the frosty air. At the man's heels trotted a dog, a big native husky, the proper wolf-dog, gray-coated and without any visible or temperamental difference from its brother, the wild wolf.

C.) At a little after seven Judy Jones came down-stairs. She wore a blue silk afternoon dress, and he was disappointed at first that she had not put on something more elaborate. This feeling was accentuated when, after a brief greeting, she went to the door of a butler's pantry and pushing it open called: "You can serve dinner, Martha." He had rather expected that a butler would announce dinner, that there would be a cocktail.

D.) Phyllis did up her bootlace and went on in silence, but her shoulders shook, and presently a fat tear fell off her nose and splashed on the metal of the railway line. Bobbie saw it.
"Why, what's the matter, darling?" she said, stopping short and putting her arm round the heaving shoulders.
"He called me un-un-ungentlemanly," sobbed Phyllis. "I didn't never call him unladylike, not even when he tied my Clorinda to the firewood bundle and burned her at the stake for a martyr."
Peter had indeed perpetrated this outrage a year or two before.

E.) An hour later, while Marjorie was in the library absorbed in composing one of those non-committal, marvelously elusive letters that only a young girl can write, Bernice reappeared, very red-eyed and consciously calm.

Go through each excerpt and figure out which ones are 3rd person and which ones use a limited POV.
All the excerpts use 3rd person because you don't see an "I/we" (1st person) or a "you" (2nd person), and they all use "he/she/her/him/names of characters."
However, only two excerpts let you into the mind/thoughts & feelings of one character. In B, you can hear the character, the man, conclude that "It certainly as cold," which is something you would not know unless you knew the thoughts of the character. In C, you can hear that the man "was disappointed at first that she had not put on something more elaborate" and that "he had rather expected that a butler would announce dinner." These are also things you would have not known without a limited POV. Also notice that only one character's thoughts are heard and you can't hear the thoughts of the dog in B or Judy Jones in C.
