The correct answers are 2) By the 1880s, Standard Oil had become the largest oil refiner in the country, controlling access to 90 percent of the refined oil in the US. 4) Throughout the year 1904, investigative journalist Ida Tarbell published her famous series of articles on Standard Oil, mostly critiquing the company's ruthless practices.
The two facts that might help explain Keppler's depiction of Standard Oil are "By the 1880s, Standard Oil had become the largest oil refiner in the country, controlling access to 90 percent of the refined oil in the US." And "Throughout the year 1904, investigative journalist Ida Tarbell published her famous series of articles on Standard Oil, mostly critiquing the company's ruthless practices."
Here, the question is referring to the political cartoon published by cartoonist Udo J. Keppler. The cartoon appeared in "Puck Magazine," in the edition of September 7, 1904.
In the cartoon, Keppler depicts the Standard Oil storage tank as the head of a giant octopus with tentacles wrapped around many industries such as the steel, copper, and shipping companies. This, in reference to the monopolistic practices of John F. Rockefeller. The octopus is holding the statehouse, the U.S. Capitol, and is about to reach for the icon of US politics, the White House. Then you can read the word "Next!"
<u>Answer:</u>
Information on them is often not backed up with reliable sources.
<u>Explanation:

- Crowd-sourced websites are open for everyone to feed information to. Most of the people who feed this information do not fetch it from sources that are authentic and reliable.
- They either try to put up their personal experiences or the information they heard somewhere, someday.
- Very few who genuinely understand the importance of the correctness of information take efforts to look up for the information through reliable sources to answer the queries and questions.
In his seminal book on the historical periods of Western attitudes
toward death, Philippe Aries describes four consecutive periods through
which these attitudes evolved and transformed. According to him, the
historical attitudes of Western cultures have passed through four major
parts described above: “Tamed Death,” One’s Own Death,” “Thy Death,” and
“Forbidden Death.” This paper, after exploring this concept through the
lens of Persian Poetic Wisdom, concludes that he historical attitudes
of Persian-speaking people toward death have generally passed through
two major periods. The first period is an amalgamation of Aries’ “Tamed
Death” and “One’s Own Death” periods, and the second period is an
amalgamation of Aries’ “Thy Death” and “Forbidden Death” periods.
