Read the excerpt from the interview with E.Y. (Yip) Harburg. The prevailing greeting at that time, on every block you passed, by

some poor guy coming up, was: “Can you spare a dime?” Or: “Can you spare something for a cup of coffee?” . . . “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” finally hit on every block, on every street. I thought that could be a beautiful title. If I could only work it out by telling people, through the song, it isn’t just a man asking for a dime. This is the man who says: I built the railroads. I built that tower. I fought your wars. I was the kid with the drum. Why the hell should I be standing in line now? What happened to all this wealth I created? Why does Harburg feel that “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” is a legitimate question, not just a plea from a beggar?
With their hard work, these individuals had invested in their country and they deserved to be suitably rewarded.
Manual labor jobs were replaced by white-collar jobs, so construction workers had no more options.
A dime was only a small amount of money that could feed an entire family for many days.
All of the wealthy had retained their riches, while the poor had to suffer through the Depression.

Answer: The right answer is the A) With their hard work, these individuals had invested in their country and they deserved to be suitably rewarded.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this song, which E.Y. "Yip" Harburg co-authored in 1932, became very representative of the Great Depression. “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” was a legitimate question because it was asked by hardworking and decent individuals who had contributed to the progress of the country, and all of the sudden found themselves unemployed and unable to provide for themselves and for their families.

Music can make you feel different in many ways, whether it be sadness, energetic, happiness, It's usually all about the tune. It's just how the song producer protrays his emotions into the song.

Did you know that Music can affect your mood?

Music always has a tone to it, some are sad for me personally, such as, "I've been losing interest. Some shows or movies have an eerie tune to one of their soundtracks. Some could be menacing, such as the Star Wars Darth Vaders theme.

In Star Wars, Darth Vader's song (The Imperial March) doesn't sound like an actual march that were used to, instead, it has an anonymous feel to it, with some slow and some fast beats.

A moment in my life where music has made me happy is when I was in a good mood and I was listening to one of my favorite songs.

This denotes why music can make you feel different emotions.

And this is how it can affect your mood

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Hi! I am afraid that your question is incomplete because you forgot to mention which book are you talking about. But, I did a little research on the Internet and I think I am able to answer it correctly.

From the options given, the one that best analyzes how Shaw draws upon the work of the Roman poet, Ovid, is A: Like Ovid's main character, <em>Shaw's main character portrays a level of disdain for women.</em>

Explanation:

First, let's say that we are talking about <em>Pygmalion</em>, by George Bernard Shaw, a play published in 1913. <em>Pygmalion</em> derives its name from the famous story in Ovid's <em>Metamorphoses</em>, in which Pygmalion feels disgusted by the loose and shameful lives of the women of his era. Due to this feeling, he decides to live alone and unmarried.

In this case, like Pygmalion (the main character from <em>Metamorphoses</em>), <u>the main character feels disgusted by them -women-, that is why the correct answer is A. </u>
