Answer:

This is an example of the strength of weak ties.

Explanation:

In sociology, we can think of strong and weak ties. Our strong ties are the people whom we know well and meet often. The weak ties are our acquaintances and people we rarely meet or communicate with. The strength of weak ties lies in their power to function as a bridge between social groups. Weak ties, such as the one described in the question, may have important information and work as a link between people and groups. Therefore, maintaining weak ties proves to be of great help.

What does scout's observation that she "inched sluggishly along the treadmill of the maycomb county school system" suggest about
morpeh [17]
Scout is a very advanced student and for that instead of being rewarded and given additional attention and assignments that would further her development she is instead reprimanded for it. Her teacher Miss Caroline is limiting what students can know and come into contact with. She even wanted her to stop reading with her father so she could do that only at school. Scout feels extremely bored and feels like she is missing a lot she could be learning about the world. She is being cheated out of knowledge which is ironic as school should be one of the places that can give children a lot of information and knowledge.

Read the following quote “A president who is able to have justices confirmed who share his views can exercise great power long a
Aleks [24]
Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Once they are approved, they have lifetime terms. 

I agree, and believe anyone would agree, with the quote. Getting a Supreme Court Justice nominated and approved, who shares your political views, means that you will have a very powerful person in the Judicial Branch exercising power for potentially several decades. Supreme Court Justices, especially through the power of judicial review, can exercise great power over the government without having to worry about reelection and with no end to their term. This means that the president, by extension, enjoys great influence over government through his nomination of these justices.
