Read the excerpt from "Last Rites of the Indian Dead."
Some targets of the Army's study were killed in noncombat situations and beheaded immediately. The officer's account of the decapitation of the Apache chief Mangas Coloradas in 1863 shows the pseudoscientific nature of the exercise.

How does Harjo's style affect her message? Select the TWO correct answers.
Select 2 correct answer(s)
Question 2 options:

By including the doctor's observation that "the brain was larger than that of Daniel Webster" she establishes American Indians' superior intelligence.

By referring to the "good" doctor Harjo uses sarcasm to emphasize her outrage over the inhumane treatment of American Indians for unproductive research.

Reread lines 32–49. Explain Izzy’s dilemma. Why does the author pose two questions in lines 45–49?

Lines 32-49: “The only hope you have is to get her to an American hospital?”
Cumings asked, repeating what Izzy had just said. Izzy started to answer.
The cell phone went dead. “Izzy?” Cumings said. “Izzy?”
How did moments of decency occur in this war?
“Izzy,” Cumings said, calling him back. “Bring your daughter here.”
That was how.
“Oh thank you, sir. Thank you, sir,” Izzy said.
And that’s when things got complicated. Even this war had its rules,
and one of them covered who could be treated at an American aid facility. Americans could, of course, but Iraqis could not, unless they were injured by the American military, and only if the injury was life-threatening. Since the car bomb had been an Iraqi bomb, none of the injured was entitled to American care, including, it seemed, Izzy’s daughter. But Cumings had in mind Izzy’s previous life, before he was an interpreter. If the daughter who was injured had been born in New York City, did that make her eligible? Could an American-born Iraqi who was injured by a non-American bomb receive medical care in an American military medical facility?

Twenty-five year old Anna Burwell and her husband, Reverend Robert Burwell, moved to Hillsborough, North Carolina in 1835. Anna and her husband had two small children, and Reverend Burwell's salary was small. Anna decided to use her lifelong love of education to help her family and other young women. As a supplement to her husband's income, Anna began teaching the daughter of James Webb, the owner of the town's general store. Two years later, Anna opened one of the first all-female academies in North Carolina, the Burwell Female School.
In addition to being the founder of the Burwell Female School, Anna was also the full-time administrator. She created the curriculum for the school's classes, which included Latin, botany, astronomy, and physical education. Many students traveled from out of state to attend the school, and these students shared the Burwell home with Anna, her husband, and their growing family (which eventually included twelve children). Over the course of twelve years, two hundred students were educated at the Burwell's school. Anna shared her love for education with her students. In fact, many of Anna's students went on to create schools of their own.
