For some Americans, the political concepts that are set forth in the Declaration of Independence—particularly the concept of equality—have become standards by which American institutions should be measured. For example, as you will see, the Constitution did not allow for equal treatment for many Americans, including African Americans (who were not considered citizens) and women. The disparity
between the declaration's promise of equality and the Constitution's unequal treatment of Americans set the example for future conflicts over the issue of equality. Neither Thomas Jefferson nor the framers of the Constitution interpreted the word equality to mean equal income. Rather, they envisioned a nation in which all citizens had what we would now call equal opportunity. Equal opportunity promotes other American ideals, such as individualism and self-reliance. It also often leads to a meritocracy based on individual talent and effort. Those who have the advantage of more education, more money to invest in an enterprise, greater talent, and higher levels of energy will have a competitive edge and come out the winners. In recent times, some people have been unwilling to accept the results of simple equality of opportunity if it creates a gross maldistribution of wealth. Some have argued that the founders, who lived in a largely agrarian economy, could not have envisioned the huge disparities in income in an industrial age and certainly would not have thought them consistent with democratic government. Some reformers have thus backed the creation of a welfare safety net by which the government protects and promotes the economic security of its citizens. Other reformers have tried to level the playing field through programs known as "affirmative action." These programs give preferences to minorities and other groups to make up for past discrimination. Those who favor affirmative action views its opponents as heartless individualists, who would let other Americans remain in poverty because they lack the talent, luck, or education to rise above it. Opponents of affirmative action argue that such programs perpetuate unequal treatment and emphasize racial divisions in society. How is the first sentence of the second paragraph ("Neither Thomas Jefferson nor the framers of the Constitution..." related to the second sentence of the paragraph ("Rather, they envisioned a nation...)? a. contrast b. addition c. cause and effect d. example
INSTRUCTIONS: Edit the following paragraph for subject-verb agreement only. Find any incorrect verb forms in each sentence, and correct them to agree in number with the subject. Though genetically altered salmon are now being gown in hatcheries, scientists needs to consider the implications to society if any of these fish accidentally returns to the wild. The new designer fish have altered genes so they grows twice as fast as other salmon, and some of the salmon is even able to grow in waters that are extremely cold. If they continues to grow and mature at such an accelerated rate, they may dominates the waters and threaten native species in the wild. Perhaps this will even cause the extinction of entire species. Though scientists also alters the salmon's genes to render them
sterile, they cannot guarantee that one hundred percent of the salmon are sterile. If these salmon shows aggressive traits, as some scientists say they do, they might become predators of other fish. Also, with the promise of being able to survive in colder water, they have the potential to spread throughout the world. Since these fish has the potential to repopulate fast, it would only take one or two designer fish to start a new strain of salmon. Though scientists is working hard to produce enough salmon to increase the world food supply, they must be sure not to upset the world's ecosystem. What will be an ideal response?
