1 answer:

5 0

The share of people in the labor force involved in agricultural work has not only declined, it has declined dramatically over the last century. Although agricultural employment had already been in gradual decline from its peak, the widespread introduction of the mechanized tractor and combine in the 1920s caused a sharp decline which has continued, though at a slower pace, to this day. Currently about 2% of the workforce is engaged in agricultural production, down from 50% a century and a half ago.

5. The section "The Holocaust" provides context for which line in the opening section?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Hello. You have not indicated which text the question refers to. This makes it impossible for the question to be answered efficiently and satisfactorily.

However, a section called "The Holocaust" should provide context for a line that refers to the cruelty that the Nazis inflicted on Jews, Poles, Sigans, prisoners of war and other people who were persecuted and subjugated by Nazis, especially Jews who were almost exterminated during the holocaust.

In this case, to find the answer to your question, you need to read the opening text and find the section that points to these elements.
