Answer:

pesticides

Explanation:

One major theme of the <em>Silent Spring</em> is the negative power of humans to affect natural world by polluting and making it lethal with the use of pesticides. Carson argues that pesticides have harmful effects on food, on wildlife and on humans. The author gives the example of DDT which is a prime killer and goes on to blame the chemical industry of deliberately  spreading wrong information.

The book explores the effects of pesticides on natural ecosystems, on foods that humans consume which lead to cancer and other serious diseases. Critics said that Silent Spring changed the balance of power in the world since many policy changes came into force in the use of DDT and other pesticides and environment-policy changes. <em>Silent Spring</em> helped cause a reversal in the US' national pesticide policy, which led to a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses. It helped create the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1970.

Explanation:

The Great Depression was one of the worst economic catastrophes in American history and a major disaster of the modern era. It was harrowing to experience.

And it was so persistent that it only yielded to another global tragedy: the Second World War.

Read this line from the text:
RoseWind [281]
After reading the excerpt represented above, I would say that the most appropriate word that coincides with tone of the text is <span>Demands. At first : there is a business term called false demands, which is commonly used in economics/international relationships. And if in actually brings the negative meaning it couldn't be Refusals, (obviously -statements also can't be used and the same with argument as it should be in another context).

Why does john proctor do when abigail accuses mary of witchcraft in act 3
Murrr4er [49]

The Crucible is a 1953 play by American playwright Arthur Miller. It is a fictionalized story about the Salem witch trials of 1692-1693.

In Act III, we see the trial of Martha Corey. John Proctor arrives with Mary Warren and is informed that Elizabeth is pregnant, so she will not be executed until the child is born. John submits Mary's deposition, declaring she was forced to accuse people by Abigail. Abigail, however, denies Mary's assertions, maintaining her story. She then accuses Mary of bewitching her with a cold wind.

John ends up losing control. He verbally attacks Abigail, and then confesses their affair. He claims that Abigail wanted to take Elizabeth's place in the household, and so, wanted her to hang for witchcraft.
