Subprime mortgages were considered toxic assets because mortgages were bought by investment banks and they bundled them and sold them as securities is True.  

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Toxic assets are those which can be sold a very low price therefore not making any profit for the seller due to significant drop of value or because they aren’t in demand anymore and cannot be sold in the market. Subprime mortgages were one of the risky investments in the midst of the financial recession.

Subprime mortgages from lenders were loaned to borrowers with no assets, poor credit and sometimes not even an income and sold to investors with regular payments as security. This over securitization was one of the major cause that triggered the financial crisis in 2007-2009 and a decrease in housing demand.

In this case of the students, they came across an article that before it existed to them its message was unknown in their world. After reading the passage the value of voting clearly came from a level of empathy based on the obstacles the writer had over come. These students clearly had an open mind to begin. The thoughts in their mind may have been something in the realm of " This person nearly died for the right for something I can do at ease", " I would be irresponsible to not take advantage of my rights" and so on. We all live off of the backs of those in the past rather positive or negatively and those with an open mind more than likely will rise to the occasion.</span>
