Mahmud ll was the sultan during that time.
The correct answer is:
It is not necessarily better to have financial advantages.
"My Antonia" is a novel by Willa Cather in 1918. The novel is about the story of the pioneers of Nebraska and their life in the Old West, making emphasis on the role of the women during that time. This excerpt mainly explains how despite their low resources, the girls learned from life, from poverty, from their mothers and grandmothers and makes a comparison of how they were even more interesting than the younger brothers and sisters who had advantages were not better than them. Which supports the theme that is not necessarily better to have financial advantages.
Rough Riders
The Rough Riders were the troops under Theodore Roosevelt's command.
The Rough Riders were a volunteer cavalry unit. The unit was made of athletes and cowboys as well as general adventurers. Theodore Roosevelt was put in charge of this group of untrained men who were willing to fight. They were most used in the Spanish American War to take the island of Cuba. The men were recruited from the Southwest and because they were athletic and training in shooting and riding a horse they were useful in the war with little investment from the government.
Pretty sure its A. Chinatown.
