Think about the possible costs and benefits of government intervention in this situation. A country’s economy has not seen econo
mic growth in the past two years. In fact, last year the GDP fell, unemployment rose, and consumers were nervous that their paychecks wouldn’t be enough to cover their usual purchases and bills in the coming months. Then the government decided, in the hope of getting the economy going again, to spend billions of dollars on infrastructure projects such as road repair and high-speed rail installation. It also reduced taxes in an effort to give people more money. However, because the government is spending money on projects and has less money coming in because of the lower tax rates, several government programs have had their funding reduced and the country’s debt has increased. Should the government have intervened in the economy as it did? Justify your respo
Yes, the government needs to take such steps during an economic crisis. Although the government’s actions increase the country’s debt and leads to a reduction in spending, its aim is to help the general populace cope with the situation. Without the government’s help, people would not be able to make their usual purchases and pay their bills. The GDP would then drop further because of a fall in consumer demand. Similarly, companies would need to lay off workers because of the decreased demand for consumer goods, which would further increase unemployment.

I think the statement that says <span>"she was american, just as much as she was korean"
This statement meant that she had embraced the American culture as much as she is she is she was born with her Korean Heritage. I think her the author wanted us to understand how Ji Suk had adapted to her environment. </span>
The warm air rises rapidly, which creates strong updrafts. When the rising air cools, its water vapor condenses. The updrafts create tall cumulonimbus clouds.
use context clues. If the excerpt says the warm air rises then you can infer that the answer is updrafts because that means the air goes up.
