<span>This may be due to the fact that many intelligence tests are designed to measure the person's previous knowledge, and not the real intelligence, so Juan may have different knowledge than those required by the test. In addition, the difference of the language can also affect the performance and score of Juan and the lack of experience performing this type of tests.

<span>Their admission to the university is affected because the universities require high scores in these tests as an admission requirement.
I hope my answer can help you.

Juan is most likely dealing with lots of issues and stress points that his classmates don't have to face, resulting in less time to prepare for things like the SATs and lower confidence levels. Since his parents immigrated to the US less than 5 years ago, and Juan is old enough to be taking the SATs, we can infer that Juan grew up in Mexico. Not only does he probably encounter cultural and linguistic differences that make it difficult for him to succeed on standardized tests in the US, but also his position as the firstborn most likely adds pressure to helping his parents with things like working and maintaining a household, rather than studying and preparing for college.

yan [13]

Answer:

  • Long working hours.
  • Small pay

Explanation:

From the source shown above, the young girls had to work really long hours from 5 am to around 7 pm. Even though they were granted breakfast and lunch hours, this is still a long time to work. Long work hours have been shown to drain a person and lead to fatigue, lack of attentiveness and lower productivity.

The young girls also received little pay for the amount of hours of work they put in. The doffers for instance, were paid $2 a week for being on duty for nearly fourteen hours a day. Assuming this is a 6 day work week, that would translate to less than 3 cents per hour.

These working conditions took such a toll on the young ladies that they were able to argue the case for a reduction in work hours by their presence.

mafiozo [28]
One recommendation that I can give is that the right should be well knows. So, for example, there could be an information sign in the community informing people of their rights (such as: the right not to experience violence, including sexual and physical violence from anyone and also from family members).
