In this context, the term “self-deluding” means:
A. fooling oneself into believing something that is untrue
What is meant by self-delusion?The act of enabling oneself to accept a falsehood: He is self-deluded if he believes a better deal will be extended to him.Believing. accept holding on to fixed faulty ideas despite being presented with evidence, typically as a result of mental illness: He believed that everyone was out to get him because he was so paranoid and deluded.We are self-aware because of our ability to both empathize and reflect. We may see ourselves from another person's perspective thanks to it. According to Eurich, self-delusion can overtake us in the absence of self-awareness.A motivated false belief is what self-deception, or lying to yourself, is all about. False beliefs can fulfill crucial psychological demands for a person.According to the given question, we can see that an author describes manifest destiny as a "self deluding hypocrisy" in order to show that such person who believes in that idea is only fooling himself.
As a result of this, and given the context, we can see that it means that a person is trying to deceive himself into believing in a false thing.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A

JUST CANT FIGURE THIS OOOUUUTTTTT (will give brainlyest) swear)
A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski
Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?
If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.
A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.
You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.
Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.
This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.
You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.
Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.
Part A:

Answer (You didn't tell me what poem and which stanza) Is it this poem? :
"Do not go gentle into that good night" by Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
What images does Thomas create with his words in this stanza (what do you see in your head based on his descriptions)?:
Thomas wrote "Do not go gentle into that good night" during a very specific moment in Dylan Thomas's life. His father, David John Thomas, had first introduced him to the wonder of language by reading him Shakespeare before bed at night. Thomas's father was a grammar school teacher, but he had always wanted to be a poet but was never able to realize his dream. Thomas wrote "Do not go gentle into that good night" because his father was dying.

(raising his voice)
There's something you can do, Charlie. You could go home and keep your mouth shut. You could quit strutting around like a self-appointed hanging judge and just climb into bed and forget it.
CHARLIE
You sound real anxious to have that happen, Steve. I think we better keep our eye on you too!

The neighbors calm down and go home for a while.

a form of essay in which a writer explains the causes and effects of a historical event
a type of expressive writing that includes sensory details and figurative language designed to entertain readers
a kind of presentation in which the speaker informs the audience about a specific topic
Answer:
a type of persuasive writing in which a writer presents an opinion and supports it with logic and evidence.
Explanation:
An argumentative writing can be defined as an expression of a writer's position (stance) on a subject matter or topic. Therefore, when writers engage in an argument or write an argumentative essay, they make use of a claim to state or express their opinions about the subject matter or topic.
A claim can be defined as a statement that is used by a writer to prove, substantiate or support an argument. Thus, a claim is an assertive statement expressed by a writer to prove that an argument is true or real.
This ultimately implies that, when writers engage in an argument or write an argumentative essay, they make use of a claim to state or express their opinions about the subject matter or topic.
Hence, an accurate description of an argument is a type of persuasive writing in which a writer presents an opinion and supports it with logic and evidence.

Explain Feklisov's rationale for American assistance to the Soviets?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached or further context, we can say the following.
Feklisov's rationale for American assistance to the Soviets was that the United States government was interested in the scientific minds and technology developed in the Soviet Union. So helping some Soviets coming to America, the government could learn about the secrets behind Soviet weaponry and technologies.
Let's have in mind that these were the times of the Cold War, in which the United States and the Soviet Union competed in the arms race, the space race, and in the spreading/containment of Communism around the world.
Colonel Alexander Feklisov (1914-2007) was a Soviet spy who has a legal residency in the United States.

_plans to use the touchy-feely mannerisms of_to get him in
trouble with Othello.
Answer:
Act 1(AO1)
Explanation:
OTHELLO: THE HERO DRIVEN BY LOVE:
The Moor Othello, a respected general, has secretly married a wealthy Venetian aristocrat, Desdemona. Her father, Barbantio, is informed of this (on the night of the marriage) by Roderigo, who had hoped to marry Desdemona himself. Barbantio goes in search of Othello and then makes his way to the Senate where he accuses Othello of bewitching his daughter;
"That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, abused her delicate youth with drugs or minerals."
(Act I, Scene 2)
"She is abused, stolen from me, corrupted by spells and medicines."
(ACT I, Scene 3)
(possible context of black people and witches)
Barbantio's accusations are proved false when Othello and Desdemona explain how they fell in love. The Duke of Venice tries to reconcile Barbantio to his daughter's marriage but the angry father disowns Desdemona.
"That I have ta'en away this old man's daughter,
it is most true. True, I have married her.
The very head and front of my offending
Hath this extent, no more."
(Act I, Scene 3)
(It's true that I've taken this man's daughter from him and married her. But that's my only offence. There's nothing more.)
"Her father loved me, oft invited me,
Still questioned me the story of my life
From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes,
That I have passed...She'd come again and with a greedy ear"
(Act I, Scene 3)
(Desdemona used to listen attentively. If she had to go do some household chore, I noticed that she'd always come back quickly to hear more of my stories. Desdemona fell in love with Othello and his past. Compelling stories that captured Desdemona's heart.)
The Senate sends Othello to defend Cyprus from a Turkish invasion. Desdemona asks to be allowed to accompany her husband, She is put in the care of Othello's ensign, Iago. Iago's wife, Emilia, is to be Desdemona's lady-in-waiting.
"The Turk with a most mighty preparation makes for Cyprus. Othello, the fortitude of the place is best known to you."
(Act I, Scene 3)
(The Turks are heading for Cyprus with a powerful fleet. Othello, you understand better than anyone how the defences for Cyprus work. Even though we have a very good officer in charge there already, everyone says you're the better man for the job. Emphasises the political respect they have for Othello.)
"And I a heavy interim shall support
By his dear absence. Let me go with him."
(Act I, Scene 3)
(When I fell in love with Othello I made up my mind that I wanted to live with him. You can see how much I wanted to be with him by how violently I threw away my old life. I feel like I'm a part of him now, and that means I'm part of a soldier. I saw Othello's true face when I saw his mind. I gave my whole life to him because of his honour and bravery. If I were left at home uselessly while he went off to war, then I'm separated from my husband in his natural element. I'd be miserable without him. Let me go with him
IAGO: THE VILLAIN DRIVEN BY REVENGE:
Iago is an embittered man, who is angry because Othello has not given him the promotion that he believes is due to him. A young Florentine soldier, Cassio has been made lieutenant over him.
"I know my price, I am worth no worse a place."
(Act I, Scene 1)
And I know my own worth well enough to know I deserve that position [to be made Othello's lieutenant
"says he, "I have already chose my officer."
And what was he?... One Michael Cassio, a Florentine."
"But he, sir, had th' election"
(Act I, Scene 1)
(I've already chosen my lieutenant," he says. And who does he choose? A guy who knows more about numbers than fighting! This guy from Florence named Michael Cassio. Iago's jealousy illustrated/introduced by Shakespeare.)
(But Cassio's been chosen over me.)
Iago seeks to revenge himself on both Cassio and Othello, and has already made trouble for Othello; it was he who persuaded Roderigo to inform Brabantio of Desdemona's elopement in the first scene.
"I follow him to serve my turn upon him."
Act I, Scene 1)
(I'm serving under him to take advantage of him. Manipulation and deception. His Machiavellian character introduced.)
"Call up her father. Rouse him. Make after him, Poison his delight, Proclaim him in the streets."
(Act I, Scene 1)
(Let's shout up to Desdemona's father, wake him, pester him, spoil his happiness, spread rumours about him in the streets. Iago encouraged Roderigo.)
"I hate the Moor, And it is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets. He's done my office. I know not if 't be true, But I, for mere suspicion in that kind,
Will do as if for surety. He holds me well.
The better shall my purpose work on him.
Cassio's a proper man. Let me see now, To get his place and to plume up my will
In double knavery. How?"
