Answer:
Unaddressed systemic racism is, in my mind, the most important issue in the United States today. And it has been so since before the founding of our nation.
Slavery was America’s “original sin.” It was not solved by the framers of the U.S. Constitution, nor was it resolved by the horrendous conflict that was of the American Civil War. It simply changed its odious form and continued the generational enslavement of an entire strata of American society. In turn, the Civil Rights Movement struck a mighty blow against racism in America, and our souls soared when Dr. King told us he had a dream. But we were and still are far from the “promised land.” And even when America rose up to elect its first Black President, Barack Obama, we may indeed have lost ground as a collective nation along the way.

President, The Brookings Institution
That is our legacy as Americans, and in many ways, the most hateful remnants of slavery persist in the U.S. today in the form of systemic racism baked into nearly every aspect of our society and who we are as a people. Indeed, for those tracing their heritage to countries outside of Western Europe, or for those with a non-Christian belief system, that undeniable truth often impacts every aspect of who you are as a person, in one form or another.
The reality of this history has been on stark display in recent weeks. From the terrible killings of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, to the countless, untold acts of racism that take place every day across America, these are the issues that are defining the moment—just as our response will define who we are and will be in the 21st century and beyond. Truly, the very nature of our “national soul” is at stake, and we all have a deep responsibility to be a part of the solution.
For us at Brookings, race, racism, equality, and equity are now matters of presidential priority. Addressing systemic racism is a key component of those efforts, with research also focusing on the Latino and Native American communities; faith-based communities, including our Jewish and Muslim communities; and the threat of white supremacy and domestic terrorism also playing a major role. It will also include work on the important need for comprehensive police reform, to include reform rooted in local community engagement and empowerment. We will not solve systemic racism and inequality over-night, and we have so much work ahead. But in a world where we often spend more time debating the nature of our problems than taking meaningful action, we must find ways to contribute however we can and to move forward as a community.
I firmly believe that we as Americans cannot remain silent about injustice. Inaction is simply unacceptable, and we have to stand up and speak out. And if our elected representatives and our elected leadership deny the problem, and refuse to act, then we must take on the responsibility of reform from the bottom up with special attention at the ballot box.
And especially for those Americans who may look like me – a white American male – or come from a similar background, action begins with reflection, and most importantly listening. It’s also about elevating and supporting the voices of those traditionally underrepresented, or even silenced, throughout society. How We Rise is an absolutely critical part of that solution.

Answer:
19. Simple sentence.
20. Compound-Complex sentence.
Explanation:
A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;
I. Simple sentence.
II. Compound sentence.
III. Complex sentence.
IV. Compound-Complex sentence.
In English language, a simple sentence can be defined as a sentence that comprises of a single independent clause, a predicate or verb and a subject. Also, the subject in a simple sentence is joined together by a conjunction such as "and" to reflect the action that is being performed or done by the verb in the sentence.
On the other hand, a compound-complex sentence comprises of a minimum of two independent clause and at least a dependent clause. Therefore, a compound-complex sentence has at least two subordinate clause and as such it is a combination of complex and compound sentence with a conjunction.
"Halley's comet should return in the year 2061." is an example of a simple sentence.
"When I arrived at the office, I found that the principal was out; apparently, he had contracted the same sickness as half the school." is an example of a compound-complex sentence.

Answer:
As much as the brothers dislike being stereotyped for being "Merican," they stereotype their own sister based on gender.
Explanation:
Irony is when a person expresses a certain thing but meant a completely different thing. Or it can also be taken as a situation where one thing is meant but a different thing happened. This rhetorical device is used when a person says one thing but meant something else.

They know what it's like to be discriminated against, for they were also stereotyped for being Americans despite being immigrants just like others. And they did not like that. But at the same time, they did the exact same thing to their sister when they gender-stereotyped her.

Which statement explains how the author uses figurative language in lines 11 and 12?
A
The fog and the waves are made to seem alive and evil.
B
The words used to describe the fog and waves sound like waves crashing on a foggy night.
С
The thickness of the fog and strength of the waves are greatly exaggerated
D
The fog and the waves are compared to each other.
Answer:
A. The fog and the waves are made to seem alive and evil.
Explanation:
Figurative language is the use of certain poetic devices to make the poem seem colorful and with more life than just a mere group of words. These literary devices are used by writers to give a much more interesting image to their works.
In the given poem "On The Shore" by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, the speaker personifies the waves and fog as if they are alive and capable of doing things like human beings.
In lines 11 and 12, the speaker talks of the fog "laugh[ing] low" and "the white waves watch[ing] it with cruel eyes". This personification device shows the fog and waves seem evil and alive at the same time.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
