There are two main reasons why the police officer decided to shoot the elephant in "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell. However, weakness is not one of these.

The first reason for the police officer to shoot the elephant was because of his sense of duty. He knows that this is the job he is expected to perform, and although he is upset about it, he wants to fulfill his duty.

The second reason is that the police officer was worried about showing compassion in front of the Burmese. He argues that the British empire must appear strong and decisive in front of the people they have colonized. Therefore, he does not want the locals to see any hesitation on his part.

Hello. You forgot to show the answer options. The options are:

Other industries became more successful and provided needed jobs.

Most successful business owners refused to assist those in need.

Americans realized that business was not immune to failure and could collapse.

Average Americans became the victims of unethical business owners.

Answer:

Americans realized that business was not immune to failure and could collapse.

Explanation:

With the stock market crash, Americans realized that business was not immune to problems, that they could not provide infinite stability to American citizens, as they were susceptible to unfortunate adversities that could cause a major imbalance at any time. They will understand that it was necessary to invest in diversified things and not to put all faith in a single economic branch, because the economy is something very unstable and delicate.

What's the one thing in her life that Delia feels is still worth protecting and fighting for?

joja [24]

I think Delia has put up with her husband for so long because she doesn't know any other way to live. Ever since she married him, he has been beating her and after awhile, she began to familiarize it with her husband. Also, being a God-fearing woman, she does not want to divorce her husband because that is a sin in her book so she continues to put up with her husband. However she reaches her limit when he begins to threaten her home, which is what she worked her entire life for. Instead of giving in to his demands which is what she normally does, she stands up to him because her home is the one thing that matters to her in her life and she will not abide by him any longer. Delia puts up with him because she does in a way love him, regardless of how he is. I believe it's called battered woman's syndrome, Delia has been abused by him ever since she got married to him. Usually she just ignored his anger but when she decides not to save him I think she's just thinking good riddance.

I hope this helps you out!
