Read this excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt’s "Duties of American Citizenship" speech:

But this is aside from my subject, for what I wish to talk of is the attitude of the American citizen in civic life. It ought to be axiomatic in this country that every man must devote a reasonable share of his time to doing his duty in the Political life of the community. No man has a right to shirk his political duties under whatever plea of pleasure or business; and while such shirking may be pardoned in those of small cleans it is entirely unpardonable in those among whom it is most common—in the people whose circumstances give them freedom in the struggle for life. In so far as the community grows to think rightly, it will likewise grow to regard the young man of means who shirks his duty to the State in time of peace as being only one degree worse than the man who thus shirks it in time of war. A great many of our men in business, or of our young men who are bent on enjoying life (as they have a perfect right to do if only they do not sacrifice other things to enjoyment), rather plume themselves upon being good citizens if they even vote; yet voting is the very least of their duties, Nothing worth gaining is ever gained without effort. You can no more have freedom without striving and suffering for it than you can win success as a banker or a lawyer without labor and effort, without self-denial in youth and the display of a ready and alert intelligence in middle age. The people who say that they have not time to attend to politics are simply saying that they are unfit to live in a free community.

What does Theodore Roosevelt claim in the excerpt?

A.
All people have the right to enjoy life and shouldn’t be forced to make sacrifices.
B.
All people should exercise their duty to vote and be good citizens.
C.
All people should dedicate a fair amount of their time to politics.
D.
All people who do not vote are unworthy to live in a free, democratic nation.

Answer:

All people should dedicate a fair amount of their time to politics.

Explanation:

In the text shown above, Roosevelt shows how it is the responsibility of a citizen of any region to participate in the political construction of their region, promoting the existence of a free society that does not become captive to incorrect and abusive political concepts. For this to happen, it is necessary for each citizen to dedicate part of their time to politics, understanding it, stimulating it and participating in all the processes that compose it.

Some men there are who find in nature all Their inspiration, hers the sympathy Which spurs them on to any great endeavor, To them the fields and woods are closest friends, And they hold dear communion with the hills; The voice of waters soothes them with its fall, And the great winds bring healing in their sound. To them a city is a prison house Where pent up human forces labour and strive, Where beauty dwells not, driven forth by man; But where in winter they must live until Summer gives back the spaces of the hills. To me it is not so. I love the earth And all the gifts of her so lavish hand: Sunshine and flowers, rivers and rushing winds, Thick branches swaying in a winter storm, And moonlight playing in a boat's wide wake; But more than these, and much, ah, how much more, I love the very human heart of man. Above me spreads the hot, blue mid-day sky, Far down the hillside lies the sleeping lake Lazily reflecting back the sun, And scarcely ruffled by the little breeze Which wanders idly through the nodding ferns. The blue crest of the distant mountain, tops The green crest of the hill on which I sit; And it is summer, glorious, deep-toned summer, The very crown of nature's changing year When all her surging life is at its full. To me alone it is a time of pause, A void and silent space between two worlds, When inspiration lags, and feeling sleeps, Gathering strength for efforts yet to come. Which line below describes how the speaker feels about summer? (5 points) Group of answer choices When inspiration lags, and feeling sleeps Where pent up human forces labour and strive Where beauty dwells not, driven forth by man The very crown of nature's changing year

Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:

(1) Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war … testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated … can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.

(2) We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate … we cannot consecrate … we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

To the Younger Me
have realized that reflecting is a very significant part
of life. I believe that it is something that every person should
do if he/she desires change and progress. It can also give a
person the chance to ponder about his/her decisions in life.
Looking back. I know that you will agree with me
that there are things that we wished we should have
and should have not done. I am sure you have the
same questions running into your mind like. "What if
made a different decision? Would it have made a
great difference?". Well, I am confident that everything
happens for a reason.
a
However, we cannot deny that most of the things
happening to us are repercussions of our choices. Thus,
thinking critically before making decisions is a must. Do
not speak and act out of impulsive emotions. Because in
life, a second chance does not always come for free.
