Answer:
Explanation:
The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln declared that all individuals who were held as slaves within the Confederate states shall be set free.
During the third Civil War, the declaration of the proclamation was a major military strategy as it was believed that freeing enslaved workers would greatly effect Confederate war efforts.
The proclamation also garnered a lot of attention from the public especially the abolitionists though Lincoln's primary aim was to save the Union rather than freeing the slaves.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D) "This disregard for Mother Nature’s power nearly proved fatal for me and my sister".
Explanation:
The missing paragraph of this question is:
"Looking back, I was sure that I was going to die that November afternoon. Tornado watches in Alabama are as common as eggs are for breakfast. So much so, that I had begun to ignore them altogether. This disregard for Mother Nature’s power nearly proved fatal for me and my sister. As we approached a fresh red light on a main thoroughfare through Huntsville, I glanced at the sudden peculiar coloring of the sky. The unusual hue and the stillness of the air gave me a sudden sense of uneasiness. The light changed and we made the left turn that would lead us home. It was after the turn that everything around me seemed to be occurring in slow motion. I heard it before I saw anything. At first I was sure that a train or a big truck was directly behind the car. Then I saw the debris, not the image of swirling winds we tend to associate with a tornado, but trash and wires and dirt. I remember a sudden feeling of weightlessness as we were lifted off of the ground. Strangely, she lifted us up like a feather on a breeze. It seemed more like floating than flying until she launched us from her grip with a fury few will ever understand".
The sentence "This disregard for Mother Nature’s power nearly proved fatal for me and my sister" expresses the main idea of the passage. The passage entitled "Mother Nature’s Fury" by Tracy Wilson, talks about the experience of a woman and her sister when they faced the fury of a Tornado in Alabama. Since tornados are common in that state, people like Tracy tend to ignore how dangerous they really are.
