What is Nellie Bly's point of view about the plight of the poor and mentally ill and the attitudes of officials toward these peo
bearhunter [10]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which the question refers, which may leave the evidence of the answer a little inaccurate.

Answer and Explanation:

1. Nellie Bly affirms that the mentally ill are mistreated, abused and that there is no type of commitment from the employees in relation to the patients, since they are not concerned with their well-being, nor with their correct treatment, since the employees only care about testing new equipment, not caring about patients.

2. Bly uses humor and dramatic irony to be sarcastic about the situation she witnessed. In this case, she tends to give extremely acid information, which shows the mistreatment that she witnessed in the sanatorium, emitting ironic information that meant the opposite, that showed exaggeration, but that were punctual in showing how sanatoriums were uncompromising and cruel institutions. Adjectives, in this case, were used to describe the situations she witnessed and create realistic mental images for readers.

3. The opinions and information that Bly demonstrates shows that she was a journalist committed to the truth and to information, in addition to being extremely courageous and a person committed to social causes and justice to all individuals, especially those most fragile by society.

Which is a sentence fragment?
DochEvi [55]
The answer is A. <span>Because I spent three hours on my homework.

This fragment provides a verb statement, but there is no subject preceding this statement. A sentence must have a subject-verb agreement to be considered a sentence. Without one or the other, it is a sentence fragment.
