Question 17(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC]
Read this excerpt from "Schenck v. U. S., 249 U. S. 47 (1919)" and answer the question that follows:
The document in question upon its first printed side recited the first section of the Thirteenth Amendment, said that the idea embodied in it was violated by the
conscription act and that a conscript is little better than a convict. In impassioned language it intimated that conscription was despotism in its worst form and a
monstrous wrong against humanity in the interest of Wall Street's chosen few. It said, 'Do not submit to intimidation, but in form at least confined itself to
peaceful measures such as a petition for the repeal of the act. The other and later printed side of the sheet was headed 'Assert Your Rights.' It stated reasons
for alleging that any one violated the Constitution when he refused to recognize 'your right to assert your opposition to the draft,' and went on, 'If you do not
assert and support your rights, you are helping to deny or disparage rights which it is the solemn duty of all citizens and residents of the United States to
retain. It described the arguments on the other side as coming from cunning politicians and a mercenary capitalist press, and even silent consent to the
conscription law as helping to support an infamous conspiracy.
Which phrase does the protest document use to describe conscription?

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
