. The following transcript comes from the monumental
2008 case of Heller vs. District of Columbia. The result
of this Supreme Court case determined the Second
Amendment protects the right of an individual to keep
and bear arms. Read the statement and then answer
the question that follows:
Okay. I'd like to respond-certainly, Justice Scalia. I'd like to respond to the
point about the—the District of Columbia's position over the years with
respect to the functional firearms ban. The Petitioners have had two
opportunities to urge courts to adopt this so-called self-defense exception
which they construed in the amendment. The first opportunity came in 1978
in McIntosh versus Washington, where the petitioners urged the Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia to uphold the law because it was
irrational in their view to prohibit self-defense in the home with firearms. They
deemed it to be too dangerous, and this was a legitimate policy choice of the
City Council, and they actually prevailed in that view. The second opportunity
that the Petitioners had to urge this sort of self-defense construction was
actually in this case in the district court.
In one paragraph of five to eight sentences, evaluate whether the statement
is effective in terms of ethos. Use evidence from the statement to support
your answer. Use proper spelling and grammar.

Iwill only mark brainliest if you get it correct. read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. examine the diagram and text: you see water all around you every day as lakes, rivers, ice, rain and snow. there are also vast amounts of water that are unseen—water existing in the ground. and even though groundwater is unseen, it is moving below your feet right now. as part of the water cycle, groundwater is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals. people have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation. life on earth depends on groundwater just as it does on surface water. there are rivers flowing below our feet … a myth? have you ever heard that there are rivers of water flowing underground? do you think it’s true? actually, it is pretty much a myth. even though there are some caverns, lava, and ice tubes, and horizontal springs that can carry water, the vast majority of underground water occupies the space between rocks and subsurface material. some rivers, such as the alpha river in northern florida, usa, can disappear underground during low flow periods. generally, water underground is more like water in a sponge. it occupies the space is between soil and rock particles. at a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped into used by people. courtesy of the u. s. geological survey is there missing or extraneous information in this diagram? are all of the details in the text relevant and accurate? explain using details from the text.
