Answer:

To express an opinion about US asylum policies.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this is the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars" that comes with this question:

<em>If many children don't meet strict asylum criteria but face significant dangers if they return, the United States should consider allowing them to stay using humanitarian parole procedures we have employed in the past, for Cambodians and Haitians. It may be possible to transfer children and resettle them in other safe countries willing to share the burden.</em>

The main purpose of the author in this text is to express an opinion about US asylum policies. In this text, the author tells us that the United States "should" allow children to stay. The use of the word "should" expresses that the author believes the United States has a moral or ethical responsibility towards these people. Therefore, she is providing her personal opinion on what the country needs to do in order to deal with these children.

what is the most distinct difference between the main character jim and all of the others in the sunday-school books
zhenek [66]

Explanation:

This story is referring to Mark Twain's short story ''The Story Of The Bad Little Boy'' written in 1875.

That ''Bad Little Boy'' from the story is called Jim. Most of the bad boys were called with the same name in Sunday books.

  • They had mothers that taught them everything, sang them lullabies, kissed them for a good night and they were sad and sick.
  • This boy Jim was having a mother that did not teach him to sing his prayers and she was different from the other mothers in Sunday School books. She wasn't anxious about her child, she did not kiss him for a good night and she spanked him. She was not a sample of a good mother like in other books so here the most important difference is mother.

Khianna just learned that microscopic, tiny, small, and miniscule are all synonyms.
borishaifa [10]
Hello.

The correct answer is "A.) Thesaurus". This is because Thesauruses contain most or all synonyms and antonyms, while dictionaries contain primarily just definitions and pronunciation. Encyclopedias are Internet-based sources that contain videos, images, and other information, but do not contain synonyms.
A glossary is essentially a very brief dictionary; it contains terms and definitions, reference pages, and all the sorts. But they do not contain synonyms.

I hope this helps!
