Answer:

Answer is given in the Explanation.

Explanation:

It also appears in the title of Roald Dahl's short story Lamb to the Slaughter, where it means ignorance and innocence. In general, the term refers to a person who is in a dangerous or life-threatening situation without concern or innocence. In the lamb slaughter story, however, this has several meanings. Its literal meaning refers to the time when humans sacrificed animals for meat. It conveys the idea that a lamb is innocent and does not ask questions. Mary Maloney, a housewife who has made it her mission to provide a sweet home for her husband and who is pregnant with her first child, is waiting for her husband Patrick to return from his local police job. Mary hits Patrick on the back of the head and the frozen leg of lamb kills him immediately. So, Maria is a victim of history as she lost his husband.

1. The governments and economies of foreign nations greatly influenced the United States of America because the products produced by foreign nations compete with the American products in the market. This competition causes negative effects on the economy of United States when more products of foreign countries are sold as compared to American products due to lower prices of foreign nations products.

2. Big challenges are created by nontraditional economies, natural disasters, and emerging democracies on the United States government because these factors lowers the production and sale of American products in the market that affected the economy.
