Author William Faulkner's plot in his short story, "A Rose for Emily," basically serves to tell the life story of Miss Emily Grierson, a member of one of the venerable families in the mythical Mississippi town of Jefferson. Faulkner's story line jumps around in time, creating a somewhat confusing sequence of events. However, we learn that Emily has had a strict father who allows her little freedoms growing up, and he looks down upon most (if not all) of her suitors. Emily has few friends, and when her father died, she refuses to allow his body to be removed until forced to do so by authorities. She lives alone in the aging family home, served only by a Negro manservant. Emily eventually courts the visiting Yankee foreman, Homer Barron, spurring gossip throughout the town when it is believed that they are to be married. Homer disappears and the townspeople assume that the relationship is over. Then, a mysterious smell pervades the grounds of the Grierson house. Little is seen of Emily for years, and she retreats to the solitude of her house until her death, when authorities discover a terrible secret. ( THAT TOOK FOREVER ) but there u go!

What were the EPA and NASA formed as?
mafiozo [28]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The EPA and NASA were formed as an </em><u><em>executive agency </em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

NASA was shaped in 1958 when Congress passed the National Aeronautics Act while EPA describes the Protection of Environmental Agency. President Richard Nixon formed it in 1970 through an official request.

Both the EPA and NASA were framed as official organizations under the influence and backing of the U.S. Government. This implies they work under the offices in mid-1970, because of increased open worries about breaking down city air, common regions covered with garbage, and urban water supplies tainted with risky debasements.
