Answer:

• The case of McCleskey v. Kemp presented convincing empirical evidence that the race of the victim is the greatest predictor of who gets the death penalty in the United States. The study conducted for that case revealed that offenders in Georgia were eleven times more likely to get the death penalty if the victim was white than if the victim was black. In Alabama, even though 65 percent of all homicide victims were black, nearly 80 percent of the people on death row were there for crimes against victims who were white. Black defendant and white victim pairings increased the likelihood of a death sentence even more.

A. How do the men react to<br><br> Okonkwo's harsh words towards<br><br> Osugo? [RL 10.6)
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

In the story, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe,

In Chapter 4, in the scenario wherein Okonkwo belittled a man who contradicted what he says, he threw hard and harsh words at the man named Osugo. This Okonkwo's attitude was seen and witnessed by the men in the clan present in the Kindred meeting and it does not please them, yet they are shocked and did not allow Okonkwo to act like that, as they took side with Osugo.

Explanation:

Why?

In Chapter Four (4) of the story Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo, the main character in the story has encountered a man named Osugo. It is during a kindred meeting wherein Okonkwo belittled those members of the clan who were less successful. Osugo, one of those less fortunate men, can't stand the rudeness and harshness of Okonkwo and speak against him. Though Osugo acknowledges the successful life of Okonkwo which he achieved through hard work and patience, in his perspective, it is not enough to embarrass and degrade people who are not his level.

Therefore, Okonkwo with his pride, spoken saying "This meeting is for men" which implies that he humiliates Osugo as not a man and not should be in the clan. This attitude of Okonkwo struck and upset people, especially the men who heard the humiliation. The men reacted taking the side of the other man Osugo. In short, they stand against Okonkwo's attitude, and the oldest man take part reminding Okonkwo to not forget to be humble despite of his success.

MrRa [10]
205-49

I would round 49 to 50.

205-50=155

Now just add one back.

156

That makes it easier to solve.

I hope this helps!
